Thanks for the interest,

Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

Update - Exetonia Minor

After some research we have discovered that you are currently annexing another nation, though details are still limited as our inteligence on the situation is rather limited we feel that we are going to have to be more cautious in reguards to an embassy in our nation... in anycase you are still accepted, albeit under more probationary circumstances.

Any information in regards to this situation will be handy, but bear in mind we will be looking into it ourselves and if we find any lying on your part it will look bad on more perminant arrangements.

An 8 1/2" x 11" paper-thin square of flexible glass arrives in a large brown envelope that's seen better days. Carved into the glass is a message written in a formal yet readable script.

"To the desk of Lord General deGritz:

This is a formal request by the leaders of Arx Imbrium to ask about the creation of an embassy within your borders for communication and perhaps trade as well. Your nation resembles ours by policy, training, and service and an alliance would be welcome through this embassy. Please note, an embassy would also be allowed in our nation if you would wish to place one, but due to the harsh conditions of our nation, it would be advised against in the most pleasant manner, if only for the safety of your delegates and ambassador. If an embassy is considered, we would discuss the vehicles of use as well as the nature of the armed nationals within the embassy compound. Your time is very much appreciated."

Not one, but three signatures are beneath the carved text.

'Jake Silveira' in a heavier handed, straighter script.

'Mia Silveira' in the same light, flowing handwriting the letter is written in.

'Talia Silveira' slightly messy but still readable; a child's handwriting.

[Using old connections with the United Nations, the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps confirmed the letter from Arx Imbrium to be real and got the location and contact details, eletronically (if possible) replying to their glass letter.]

Subject: re: Embassy Application
Message:

Dear Jake and Mia Silveira, Overseers of the Armed Republic of Arx Imbrium,

Having recieved and confirmed your nations application for an embassy in Iuthia, we would like to inform you both that we have come to a decision and feel that it would be a pleasure to accept diplomats from Arx Imbrium under the normal terms and conditions of Extraterritoriality in Iuthia; detailed in the attached documentation.

[Attachement: R001 (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6016004&postcount=3)]

This contract details what you can expect from Iuthia and how we generally treat foriegn diplomats... granted its a little restrictive in parts, but we have had problems in the past regarding a Austar Union diplomat being discovered to be a terrorist... an oversight on their part which was contained before damage could be done.

Regarding an Iuthian embassy in Arx Imbrium, we have yet to make a decision and would like further information on the dangers of setting up an embassy in your nation. We have embassies in over 120 nations around the world, some of the more dangerous nations including that of Decisive Action, a nation which seems to have terrible trouble concerning terrorists and large scale racism. With additional information we would attempt to make a judgement based on the security issues at hand.


Further relations between our nation, aside from the embassy exchange we are discussing, would be dependant on your nations attitudes of the international community... Iuthia has a strongly held respect for the soveriegnity of other nations and while we have a society built on military pride we prefer to encourage peaceful diplomacy. At the moment an alliance is out of the question due to the fact your nation is still an unknown factor in the world... an alliance would be something we can work towards with time.

As for trade; that depends on whats on offer and what it is that you need. Iuthia is an industrial nation and we produce alot of nuclear materials which our power grid consumes. Information technology is a popular export of Iuthia, where as we import alot of food stuffs and recreational drugs. We're sure that we can find something to suit us both in a trade deal.

thanks for your interest, we look forward to your reply.

signed, Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

under-signed, Lord General deGritz, Leader of the Iuthian People.

(It seems to take a few days longer than it would normally for the message to cycle and be returned, though again it comes back via data this time and not a message written on glass)

To the desks of Foreign Minister Mick Lakely and Lord General deGritz:

The contract has been reviewed and accepted. A question that has come up is regarding the construction of the embassy in your lands. Will it be handled by your people or will we construct it ourselves? Either situation is fine, though our people are rather unskilled in the various construction techniques used outside of our nation.

The nature of the terrain and cities would make an embassy in Arx Imbrium difficult to maintain properly, for the sake of both of us. -(Several pictures are attached, showing vast expanses of dunes and sand, some with gargantuan sand crawlers in the distance. Interior photos make the 'cities' themselves seem like dug-in bunkers and mines with rock walls exposed and metal catwalks snaking everywhere with wires and conduits dangling here and there, as if most of the equipment is jury-rigged and haphazardly organized. Every citizen seen in the photos is carrying some sort of weapon, and the actual armed guards are only distinguishable by the armpatches they wear.)-

There is no threat of terrorism or violence,it is simply the limitations and dangers of the terrain that would make it difficult, if not entirely impossible.

Our attitude towards the international community is almost entirely neutral. The nature of our equipment and technology makes it specialized and is thus limited to our nation. On the other side of the blade, the nature of the terrain and weather makes it all but impossible for a nation to invade so we have enjoyed neutrality without issue. We've no reason to join or instigate a conflict with any nation.

We also have very little in the ways of import and export. Self sufficiency has been required for so long thus many things seem unnecessary with our way of life. Exports would be limited amounts of weaponry, if anything, as well as nonstandard survival gear suited to the harsh environment.

Any questions you may have, please send them, as well as any issues you may have with the above message. Your time is appreciated in this.

Dear Jake and Mia Silveira, Overseers of the Armed Republic of Arx Imbrium,

Your embassy is prepared and is situated in the Iuthian capitol, Iuthia Prima. The embassy is one of many buildings designed for this aplication as we prepared well over 150 such compounds for use by foriegn diplomats. These building can be assured to be secure and highly defendable due to their Iuthian design, however if your engineers (should you wish to inspect the building structurally) are not content with the buildings contruction you may request another embassy or withdraw your request; this is a measure to ensure you this building his no secrets to hide and is suitable for your ambassadors needs.

You may move into the embassy at your own pace, we eagerly await your arrival.

On the subject of an Iuthian Embassy in Arx Imbrium, we will take your advise for the time being and respect your concerns for it's feasibility... however we may in the future choose to become interested in the idea again, perhaps paying your people to build such an area or building in which we can opperate without this problem; perhaps underground. Whatever the case it's not a concern for the time being.

We are aware of your nations basic limitations due to your specialised nature and we will always bare this in mind. Your almost entirely neutral diplomatic state is something we respect and we'll take it into concideration as we work with your nation in the future, with such an attitude we feel we will get along perfectly. As for trade, we'll take your views on board and concider some of the equipment you have on offer, perhaps you can show us examples with the diplomats moving into Iuthia.*

If you could consider our request for specialised training in our other communication (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7318486&postcount=18) we would be gratful,

Thanks for your speedy reply, we look forward to working with you in the future,

(The message returns after the passage of time, and it's a very simple message.)

"We're on the way."

That is all it says. The envelope bears the same diplomatic insignia of Arx Imbrium and a date written gives an ETA of two days and the IFF code that the transports will have to distinguish them. An electronic device is also included, a small text communicator of sorts with a slightly-jury rigged signal booster and some very randomly assembled technology. A message is already waiting on it, asking where a pair of vtol craft would be able to land for a diplomatic meeting.

Could Kriegorgrad explore the possibility of an embassy in Iuthia, should you desire an embassy in Kriegorgrad, you may have it in the wide cobbled streets of the noble quarter in Krieg, the capital of Kriegorgrad.

Thank you for this opportunity Lord General deGritz, we hope to strengthen relations with your proud nation.

Yours,

Grand Inquisitorial Lord Matthias, Keeper of the Seal, Guardian of the Tome

While we would normally take up such an offer without little fuss, we can't help but feel that your nations conduct... or more precisely, your alliances conduct, has been below satisfactory.

The RWC has imposed a blockade on a old friend of Iuthia's, a friend which we had stopped trading with some time ago due to a war, but never the less a friend who is now being warred upon due to the incorrect moral reasoning.

Iuthia would like to note that a Economic Blockade is recognised as an act of war, and concidering your justification is that of their an attack against a member of the RWC, a member which was burning innocents for a governments crime, a member which itself has commited various human rights violations over it's time. Yet your alliance justifies it's actions against Wolfish on a moral basis which is flawed.

As such Iuthia can only, and will only allow a probationary Embassy Exchange, to be reviewed at a later date depending on whether we can trust your nations integrity.

Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

Thank you and I apologise for my alliance's actions but one cannot go against the will of the majority, that would mean I'm breaking the conduct of democracy.

Yours,

Grand Inquisitorial Lord Matthias, Keeper of the Seal, Guardian of the Tome

In a democracy one can protest and not take part in it. But nevermind, clearly it's a matter of willpower. We have seriously concidered getting involved in that situation but ulitimately the decision was that the price would be too high for an old trade partner we know little of anymore.

However, this doesn't change our opinion on the flawed morality of the matter and we are disapointed that an alliance your nation is proudly a member of would do such a thing. Allies refectly on us as people who we choose to be associated with... we are careful about who we are allied to for that reason alone.

Never the less, we can accept a probationary exchange as previously stated. We have several prepared locations for new embassy staff, we just hope your diplomats stay isn't a short one.

Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

IC: A matter of will power? Oh no my good friend, we could have chosen to not to take part in the blockade but we wanted to, we were among the ranks of those that voted for the blockade.

Willpower is something Kriegorgrad does not lack.

We hope our diplomats enjoy their time in the proud nation of Iuthia, should you ever desire an embassy in Kriegorgrad, simply ask. We have numerous plots ready for such an embassy.

Yours,

Grand Inquisitorial Lord Matthias, Keeper of the Seal, Guardian of the Tome

Odd... you apologise for your alliances actions, yet you actually wanted to do it anyways.

We would be interested in an embassy which we assume will have the same restrictive measures as we are placing on your own embassy in our nation, as detailed in the contract (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6016004&postcount=3). I

Basics of why we are permitting an embassy is that we prefer to have a local representative to speak to and encourage diplomacy rather then simply denying anything.

I'll assume we've made our point clear by now that we are not entirely happy about the Blockade of Wolfish, this issue will continue to be a thorn in any relationship we'll have as we are rather fond of our old friend. In truth the jury is still open on how Iuthia will react.

Ab-shalom and greetings to Lord General deGritz, leader of Iuthia.,

It is the desire of the Sultanate of Vastiva to open and maintain strong diplomatic and economic relations with all nations desirous of such. We therefore offer an exchange of embassies and ambassadors, and a beginning of free trade between our nations.

We therefore offer an exchange of embassies and ambassadors, and a beginning of free trade between our nations.

His Magnificence, The Sultan of Vastiva, has directed that one acre of land be put aside in Sisu Vaari, our capital city, for your usage in building an embassy. He has further directed that a Weyker dome be constructed over the embassy land. This regional technology will allow you to manipulate the climate and conditions within the dome to your preferences.

We make no guarantees of the conditions outside the dome.

We would forewarn you that our land is known for its bitterly cold winters. If our local experts can be of assistance in design or building, they will be made available to you with haste. Local materials will also be made available to you.

It is our sincere desire that this be the beginning of a long and mutually advantageous relationship between our nations.

Go in Peace,

Namaste,

We prefer that trade be organised some other time, these days Iuthia is very selective about the countries we trade freely with due to various concerns about security.

For the time being we are willing to permit a probationary embassy exchange to Iuthia, we for this period you can withhold any ground for an Iuthian Embassy so that money is not wasted should issues arise.

Embassies in Iuthia are not built by your people, but instead provided by us for your use. You may have structural engineers look over the place to make sure it is secure from any spying devices and built to your tastes. Please also keep in mind Iuthia's Diplomatic Contract (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6016004&postcount=3) during your stay.

The United States of WyattLand invites you to build an embassy within our nation, and would like to do the same in yours. We also would like to establish diplomatic relations with you.

We are willing to exchange embassies though we are relatively new to your nation and as such we would prefer to start with a probationary exchange of embassies between our nations as we gather more information.

Mabey we should exgage embessays

That will be fine. We thank you for the opportunity to host your embassy, and to have you host ours.

Slaytanicca would love to trade embassies with your nation, if this is to your liking.

Mercitonia ( Pyschotika ) would like to speak with you about constructing a Embassy in your Nation. But, for your own personnel's safety, we advise that you do not build a Embassy in our nation. There has been Rioting lately, and we do not believe that it would be exactly smart for you to send Diplomatic Personnel or Construction Workers to work on a Embassy. We do wish that you allow us to have a Embassy in your nation, and our Nation would be glad to ally you in the process.

Sincerely,
Mr. Feldinchii

The Empire of Xeraph would be honored to be included as allies of Iuthia.
We would like to exchange embassies with Iuthia. We have a brand new facility in our capitol of Xeraphia, and you would be welcomed with your staff and security team.

Secretary Darren Temple, Secretary of State
State Department, United States of Canada

I guess this topic is dead?

No... it's just I don't post every five minutes. I'll get to it when I do but for the moment I've got alot going on... someone has blown up an Iuthian Embassy in another nation and I have guests over.

Well I wasn't trying to Dictate your life. I do realize that a lot of ppl have a RL to attend to rather then a RP.

I just figured that since its been all day that there must be a new topic for this or its just dead.

Anyways, Need help with your Embassy? I can send in some troops. 250,000 Are being suited up for a possible war that is already going on, and I have 300,000 on Reserve. Perhaps 100,000? Or less...I dunno, post details or the link.

I am willing to assist you with the attack on one of your embassies even if you reject hosting one another's embassies/consular offices.

Slaytanicca We would welcome an embassy trade, though due to security concerns we are going to have to ask for a probationary period for the time being.


The Fedral Union An exchange of embassies is permitable with the Fedral Union, though we are unsure as to where our own embassy would be place in your regions of space...

We trust you enough to forgoe probationary periods for the time being, though you will be required to follow the diplomatic contract like everyone else.


Pyschotika We aren't in need of troops for the time being. The situation doesn't require troops, it just required our attention. It was a terrorist incident however we can't act against a group we don't know about, whats more it's something we would rather take care of ourselves.

However, we can allow your nation to occupy an embassy space for a probationary period with a extended full time position to be rewarded should everything check out, we are a little behind due to recent events.

We would also like to note we are not looking for new allies... friendships have to be built over a long time. Also note that we have pre-built embassies which are standardised for hosting diplomats from other nations. These buildings can be checked over by your own structural engineers as they will be found to be well built and secure without any listening devices or the such.

This is the same for most nations.


Canad a We accept your wish to exchange an embassy and we accept with open arms at this time. Though we will be placing your nation on probationary along with all nations we know little of, this is a security measure on our behalf and we are comfortable with your own nation taking the same such precautions.

We would again like to note that we don't need assistance at this time.


Xeraph An exchange is welcome, though like all the others we will be placing your nation on a probationary position due to lack of previous contacts.

Thanks for your interest.

Iuthia,

We certainly won't be offended. We will, however, ask if we may supply Slaytaniccan guards - most of our foreign ambassadors get a little paranoid, especially during the first couple of months. We'd also like to enquire of drug laws in your nation, particularly relating to those with probationary diplomatic immunity, as your response could limit the number of potential delegates. This aside, we are most thankful for your offer, and will begin building our embassy immediately if it is your wish. Please, don't hesitate to ask any questions or special requests of us regarding your embassy here in Slaytanicca.

Regards,
Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

Well, actually Iuthia builds your embassy for you, seeing as it's a probationary thing and we prefer it that way. Everyone gets an embassy built by us and it can be checked before hand by your own people to make sure it's secure.

As for guards, read this and you'll understand more:

Iuthian Diplomatic Contract (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6016004&postcount=3)

Everyone who has a embassy in our nation follows this or a modified version of it.

Note that it permits the use of up to 30 armed guards.

Iuthia,

I apologise for my ignorance! This is good news for us. Many diplomats would feel uncomfortable constantly surrounded by foreign soldiers. We have no need to inspect the structure, and a standard bug sweeping will suffice. Perhaps we can propose the construction of a more unique embassy building at a later date; for now, of course, we are more than grateful for the building granted us.

Many thanks,
Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

After a long wait (and time wasting on my side) I've confirmed the nations in "Probationary" status to complete diplomatic status within Iuthia, giving all these embassies standard operating clearance like many other nations who are trusted with Embassies.

Please remember that just because your diplomats are given much for trust in their dealings and will no longer be physically searched upon entery, they will still have to deal with magnetic anomaly scanners, chem-sniffers and other passive detection systems to assure the safety of Iuthian citizens. Please refer to our agreement (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6016004&postcount=3) for refence on what will still be expected of you. As always, the Lord General and myself can withdraw your rights to an Embassy in Iuthian at any time for any reason, however your staff will be warned 42 hours in advance to any such demands and we will respect extraterroriality until you have left the nation.

We are Allies of Slaytanicca, our regional Founcer, a close friend of our nation.

We are a member of TAOO.

We are generally against the RWC as an alliance, although some nations are classed as trusted, and we do not mind them.

We hope to become a founder of an alliance, prefarably with older, more matured nations who know how to use diplomacy to stop wars etc.

Thats the basics, other than if we become allies and you ever want to purchase VP built weapons a sum of your total purchase can be reduced by around 10%, with just good diplomatic ties i would be glad to give you a 5% discount.

I would like thank you for your interest in setting up an Embassy Exchange with our nation at this time as we are looking to increase our diplomatic channels to other nations for better international contact.

We accept this offer of an exchange and we will prepare a small envoy to make preparations for an Embassy on your end; providing you respect standard diplomatic protocol on our diplomats rights we will not have any problem with your own laws and procedures for setting up an Embassy in your nation.

Meanwhile we will prepare your diplomats Embassy for their arrival upon your confirmation. We understand you have already seen copies of our rules so you understand how we opperate and agree to our terms. In that respect our business at this stage is complete, following further talks with your Ambassador to Iuthia upon their future arrival*.

Many of these "declarations" you have made are educating to us, as our knowledge of your nation is limited to the security checks we've already made. However I feel we should note that these declarations have little importance to your application as we have little interest in an alliance at this time and as such your associations are of little concern, we judge your nation on your own merit first, and on allies second.

Never the less we are glad you wish to open relations with Iuthia and we look forward to your confirmation.

As a standard proceedure we will also require to have your embassies on a short probationary period as we make checks on your nations politics to see what our diplomatic divisions make of your nations stance on nuclear weapons and other concerning issues. This is for the security of our nation and we are sorry to say that security is a large issue in Iuthia, more so then our diplomatic connections... so please bare with us.

On a side note our dioplomatic divisions are willing to undergo the same treatment in your nations to show willing to prove our nations reputation as a peaceful nation and to comply with your laws fully. Accept the your terms thus so far,

Dear Ambassador,

As to the details of Security details, I can assure you that the Republic's Embassies are extremey well-guarded against any terrorist threat or otherwise. An entire Battalion of Riflemen from the 95th Regiment are on permanent guard around the Embassy compunds and are backed up by three Armoured Car Squadrons. Not only this, but all Embassies are linked to a Security Monitoring Station within the nearest military compound that can rush reinforcements to the furthest Embassy within three minutes. Of course, your own security is also added into this equasion with your own guards in the Embassy.

As for our own Embassy staff, we accept the Security Background Check for our nation and staff. We hope that everything will be acceptable. As for assurances, we can assure your government that a strict process is taken when choosing our Ambassadorial staff and employees, and only those who are deemed acceptable - ie without any psychological disorders or fanatical views - are accepted. No weapons accept those of the Guards are allowed in either. Hopefully this will be enough assurances.

Meanwhile we are preparing you're own embassy in Iuthia with the Embassy District of Iuthia Prima, our capitol city. You are permitted you send your own architectural engineers to examine the structure to assure that it meets your needs and is secure to your likings. We look forward to working with you in the future,

Meanwhile, even though Iuthia picked up a crude albeit effective message from an undisclosed location in space, there wasn't entirely much which could be done about it because it could be anything from pirates to a dangerous presence from space. Due to it's impossible to confirm nature there wasn't so much as an offical reply, later other space capable allies may be able to confirm the race it was sent by, but without any real recognisable nation to deal with it was fairly impossible to deal with on this level.


OOC: To be fair I don't ignore most space nations with acceptions to the ones I concider too far out of my technology range, but those nations are only those with super technology of ungodly power and empires which are many billions larger then any real nation in NS should be (i.e those who claim additional population on their nations to make themselves big because they want to be a proper space empire).

That said, while Iuthia itself probably around the 2060's for timeline perposes, I don't ignore or limit myself from much unless it's blatant or I think the player it too unrealistic to be worth dealing with... in this case it's a simple matter that we can't really give just anyone a Embassy, we have no information about this nation whatso ever so getting a call from somewhere in space asking for a Embassy wouldn't have any real credentials.

Has my Embassy been accepted yet, and off the probabtionary period?

Technically you've had a embassy in Iuthia for sometime, it's just been under more restrictive measures to ensure safety and security to the Iuthian people, however, we feel that it has probably been long enough and you have shown enough responsibility for us to allow it a more normal status.

This doesn't mean we trust you're nation entirely, simply that we trust you are much as many others we have little contact with. The probationary period is more or less a security measure to give us some time to review your nations actions.

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused,

Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely.

Subject: Embassy Exchange

His Imperial Majesty's Government is most interested in the establishment of a Praetonian embassy in Iuthia and the establishment of a Iuthian embassy in Praetonia. We are willing to follow your laws concerning embassies, although we would like to equip the embassy with a single non-military helicopter along with a standard unarmed armoured car. The aircraft will only fly above Iuthia Prima with due authorisation, and will not fly in any restricted areas.

Our own rules on embassies can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6893913&postcount=1), although reading your own rules I am sure that you will find them acceptable. In accordance with our general policy on embassy defence we will take advantage of the full complement of 30 Embassy Guard, and (if it is acceptable) the embassy will be equipped with barbed wire entanglements as well as bullet-proof glass in the windows in accordance with our extended embassy defence policy implemented after the Hogsweat incident.

I hope that this embassy exchange will help bring our peoples closer together, and that this insight into each others' cultures can improve overall diplomatic relations and provide a deeper understanding of our respective societies.

Yours Sincerely,

Tiberius Polax, MP
Foreign Minister

Dear Mr. Polax

I would first like to thank you for taking an interest in our embassy exchange program and I look forward to improved Iuthian-Praetonian relations. We have always felt that such interaction is important between all nations in the international community so that we may better communicate with one another in a civil manner, it is my hope that this is the start of a strong relatopnship between our two nations.

After reviewing your requests in reguards to the Iuthian Diplomatic Contract, I have found these changes to be acceptable within Iuthian diplomatic policy and your additional security measures are understandable given your nations past relations with other nations. I will personally see to it that your diplomatic staff are comfortable in their new home. As for the helicopter being accepted as a diplomatic vechile, we feel that this is also acceptable providing the helicopters flight paths are approved prior to use, though we imagine this is only a minor issue and our people are very efficient with such paperwork.

We ourselves are fully prepared to follow all measures put down to us by the Praetonian Diplomatic Contract, our own garrison being a standard thirty lightly armed security staff. Further details of our requirements, (all within your guidelines) are included on this secure attachment: [Attachment 01a (4.3mp)]

Again I would like to thank you for your interest and this opportunity to expand our diplomatic network,

Official Press Release

After viewing the unfortunate events unraveling around the Imperial Republic of Hataria, we at the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps have come to the decision that in order to properly condemn the knee jerk reactions of the United States of The Fedral Union, we must downgrade their diplomatic rights to that of a black listed nation, this change be enforced at the end of the week, to which the diplomats of the Fedral Union embassy in Iuthia will have to comply or have their embassy revoked, they are of course free to complain and/or leave prior to this period.

We are appalled to think that the Fedral Union sought to inquire about a mobilisation of Hatarian assets by engaging them and starting a war over seemingly nothing what so ever. This complete and utter disregard for human life and diplomacy leaves us with no choice but to black list the nation, pending further reviews of our relations with them.

We thank you for your interest and we shall agree to an embassy exchange between our nations. Due to your nations unknown status we feel that a probationary period is in order as we do some checks regarding security... however we will treat your diplomats with the utter most respect in the mean time.

Feel free to place our diplomats under the same caution, we welcome any exchange rather then none at all.

RE: Embassy policy adoption

Greetings Mr. Lately,

While Minister Lin is unable to write this personally as he is in a conference in Czardas along with several other delegations seeking ties with the Libertarian Concordance, he assures you that he admires the Iuthians and their progressive policies, if not commitment to, peace.

We have been eyeing the Iuthian Embassy Exchange Terms and Rules and we pretty much agree to the majority of them. So we humbly request that we receive a sample via encrypted transmission and whether we are able to make a few minor adjustments so that we can use it as our own. Later, we shall make a request asking for relations between your state and ours.

Signed,
Office of Joshua Lin, USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs

To the Foreign Minister of Iuthia -
We are a relatively small nation that has recently begun to participate in affairs outside our region. We would like to set up an embassy on a one-acre plot of land in your capital, where sixty staffers, thirty guards (twenty armed with MP-5 submachine guns, four armed with M-240G machine guns, and six armed with M-82A3 sniper rifles), and the family of Ambassador Michael Griffin, whose credentials we hereby present for consideration, will live and work. We will import two Ford Escape Hybrids for diplomatic purposes. If you wish to reciprocate, please contact us here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=464604). Thank you.

Dear Joshua Lin, USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Having recieved and confirmed your nations interest in an embassy in Iuthia, we would like to inform you that it would be a pleasure to accept diplomats from the United Sovereign Nations of South-East Asia under the normal terms and conditions of Extraterritoriality in Iuthia; detailed in the attached documentation.

[Attachement: R001 (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6016004&postcount=3)]

This contract details what you can expect from Iuthia and how we generally treat foriegn diplomats... granted its a little restrictive in parts, but we have our reasons. However, as you have inquired about this contract and the possibilities of of making a few minor adjustments, I would say that any such changes would have to be fully discussed with the Benevolent Dictorship of Iuthia prior to any formal agreements. We are willing to accept minor alterations in the interest of diplomacy, but we ask you not to try our patience with excessive demands.

Regardless, thanks for your interest, we look forward to your reply,

Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

Dear Minister Lakely,

Minister Lin is in Czardas as mentioned before, so his secretaries are writing this letter and we wrote the previous one. We have indeed plan on establishing embassies after we get permission after sending diplomats into your nation to discuss this issue. We hope that relations between the Benevolent Dictatorship and the United Sovereign Nations shall flourish once the task is completed.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We will provide your government with the appropraite permissions to send one of your diplomats over to Iuthia should you with to properly dicuss the issue. However after re-reading your request would it be right to assume that you wish to use our term and conditions as your own, albeit obvicously changed to suit the needs of the United Sovereign Nations of South-East Asia? If this is the case then perhaps we're over complicating this a bit... we have no problem with your nation using our policy as a template for your own.

Our concern instead was in regards to whether your diplomats would be prepared to argee to our terms and conditions for their own embassy in Iuthia, if they are fully prepared to adhere to these terms and conditions then there is no issue we can see.

Sorry about the confusion.

RE: Embassy policy adoption

Dear Minister Lakely,

Correct. Minister Lin wished for permission in adopting your nation's embassy terms. Sorry for the overcomplication. And yes, we agree to the terms you have.

Signed,
Office of Joshua Lin, USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs

Updated.

OOC: Iuthia, let's say that this has all been agreed to ICly. Which of the following items will have to be removed?


1 Ambassador
50 Staff Members
5 Armed Humvees
1 Helipad
1 Blackhawk Helicopter (armed)
35 Embassy Guards (MT US equipment)
And that the flag of Southeast Asia be allowed to fly in your skies.

OOC: Personally like with all the others I assume that it doesn't take much to agree, your last communication said you agreed with our terms and cleared up the fact you would be using our treaty as a template for your own, something we don't mind. So I've already (I think) added you to my list.

You may want to re-read our terms and coniditions as they cover these things rather clearly. It states what you are allowed assuming you don't ask for more, which would need to be negotiated with us further. Just to clear what you are allowed out of your list:


1 Ambassador
50 Staff Members
2 non-military (read: unarmed) vehicles.
30 Embassy Guards (MT US equipment)
And that the flag of Southeast Asia be allowed to fly at your embassy, which is concidered Souteast Asia territory until we expell you.


I'm pretty aware that my nations conditions are pretty harsh, their meant to be because at the end of the day Iuthia is still a military dictatorship and paranoia goes hand in hand with that. However, we have made concessions before for nations who we trust, but I'm not sure I know you well enough to make too many concessions.

OOC: Deal.

*bump!*
