To: The International Community.

The Federation of WesternAustralia is seeking to establish diplomatic relations with other nations within the region. In particular with other Australian and south-east Asian nations. We wish to further regional economic prosperity by expanding our regional and international trade links. Once establishing peaceful diplomatic and economic we hope to pursue establishing defence relations for our mutual protection.

Greetings from Taipei:

The Republic of China is interested in establishing a diplomatic line between our two nations by exchanging embassies and setting up a body to encourage WesternAustralian-ROC trade links and cultural exchanges.

Annette Lu
Vice President of Taiwan

This is a most prudent suggestion on behalf of the Republic of China. Our government is committed to establishing this co-operative body and our capital, Perth, is prepared to house an honourable embassy from your nation. Like wise we have a team ready to become our diplomatic corps in Taipei.

His Omniferocity's government welcomes this overture by WesternAustralia. Assuming WesternAustralia is willing to abide by the Dominion's restrictions, WA embassies may be constructed near FreePort on Amida Island- located 125 kilometrs southwest of Kaligrad.

Here are His Omniferocity's regulations regardning diplomatic personnel:

His Omniferocity has authorized the building of Embassies on Amida Island- the only port of entry to the Dominion. Travel outside the diplomatic compound must be escorted by EOE Internal Security personnel.

His Omniferocity's rules for Diplomatic personnel and stations are as follows:

* Embassies are considered to be extraterritorial. EOE personnel may only enter with the permission of the Ambassador.

* Embassies are responsible for their own security and law enforcement. Embassies are permitted a small armed force to accomplish this. No foreign nationals may carry weapons outside the Embassy compound.

* With the exception of the Ambassador and five members of the Embassy staff (chosen by the Ambassador) who will be granted Extraterritoriality, all Embassy personnel are subject to His Omniferocity's law outside the Embassy itself.

* His Omniferocity reserves the right to expel any and all members of any foreign government at any time, for any reason. With the exception of active hostilities between EOE and the government in question, any personnel so expelled are secure in their persons and personal baggage until after they have been removed from EOE territory (in other words, if we expel your Ambassador, he still has diplomatic immunity until he leaves EOE territory).

* Diplomatic security outside of the Embassy compound is the responsibility of EOE Internal Security personnel. No foreign personnel are allowed to travel unescorted within EOE territory. All foreign nationals employed at the Embassy who object to this are free to live within the Embassy compound.

* Each Embassy compound is permitted one- and only one- satellite communications station within the Embassy compound. Communications carried on this system may be encrypted or employ any other anti-intrusion measures the Embassy personnel consider prudent. All other message traffic must go through public communications circuits or be carried in the Diplomatic Pouch.

*Messages between the Embassy and its parent government may be carried by one of the Embassy staff with Extraterritoriality in a Diplomatic Pouch- which may be no larger than a standard briefcase. This pouch will be secure against any search beyond normal non-invasive passive sensors. For safety reasons, the briefcase must be transparent to X-rays. Any anti-intrusion electronics within the briefcase must be demonstrated to Internal Security personnel before the establishment of the Embassy. Any subsequent changes to anti-intrusion electronics must also be demonstrated to Internal Security prior to its use being permitted within the Diplomatic Pouch. Any electronics within the Diplomatic Pouch that do not match the X-ray signature of the agreed-upon system will not be permitted entry. Embassy security personnel are permitted unrestricted access to the Diplomatic Security screening station before, during, and after the Diplomatic Pouch passes through to ensure that EOE is not attempting electronic breaching of the Diplomatic Pouch.

* Embassy personnel will be permitted to communicate with citizens of the Embassy's government accused of crimes within EOE territory. This communication will be monitored by Internal Security personnel and is not considered privileged information. His Omniferocity reserves the right to restrict any such communication in the event it may (in the opinion of Internal Security) jeopardize National Security.

* Each Embassy will be permitted to import two non-military vehicles for use by Extraterritorial Embassy personnel. Diplomatic vehicles will be considered part of the Embassy compound when in use by Embassy personnel with Extraterritoriality.
Prior to entry, any such vehicle will be thoroughly inspected by a team from the Ministry of Internal Security in the presence of Embassy security staff. All equipment installed in or on the vehicles will be demonstrated to IS personnel. Any additional equipment installed subsequent to approval must also be examined by IS and its purpose demonstrated. Diplomatic vehicles will be examined at random intervals agreed to by the Ambassador. Any alteration to the agreed equipment will be considered a violation of the Diplomatic Agreement.
In the event of a suspected crime or threat to National Security, the vehicle and its occupants will be detained in place while His Omniferocity's government requests access to the vehicle from the Ambassador. Failure to grant such access will constitute a breach of the Diplomatic agreement. Under these circumstances and in the absence of a state of war, the Embassy may send Security Observers to ensure that the vehicle is not searched or entered by EOE personnel as it is destroyed in place. The remains of the vehicle will be returned to the Embassy once destruction is completed. The Embassy will be closed and all personnel expelled once this is completed. The destroyed vehicle will be permitted to leave with the Embassy staff.

* Any Embassy personnel engaging in espionage will be summarily expelled (if granted Extraterritoriality) or executed (all others). Embassy personnel who escape (or attempt to escape) the supervision of their Internal Security escorts will be assumed to be engaged in espionage.

* No Embassy personnel are permitted to depart Amida Island for any reason other than to leave EOE territory.

Assuming that these terms are acceptable, His Omniferocity welcomes the opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with your government. Please send any applicable restrictions for EOE Diplomatic personnel in your territory.
