The Incorporated States of Exonerate would like to invite all willing nations to establish a formal channel of communication with our nation. For years, while we have not been isolationists, we have not been very outgoing to the international community. Now, we wish to rectify that by inviting nations to come and establish diplomatic, economic, or perhaps even military ties with out nation.

Let me provide a little information about my nation.

Exonerate has traditionally been classified as a Libertarian Police State or Father Knows Best state by the UN, although we were recently considered an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy. We are pro-civil rights, pro-welfare, pro-defense, although we are unwilling to sacrifice the following for the general welfare of the population.

The Incorporated States of Exonerate's system is based on the idea that your average person is too much of an idiot to know what is good for them, and too stupid to know how the system works. Therefore, that power is delegated to an Enlightened Despot who is entrusted with complete control of the State. The people are given no political power, because tyranny of the majority happens too often and because the people don't know what's good for them.

The Enlightened Despot traditionally has had a small group of advisors, from diverse backgrounds who provide feedback, criticisms, and advise. However, it is entirely up to the Enlightened Despot to accept or reject those suggestions. Individual citizens and groups are given the power to submit suggestions to change the current policy, but as always, the final decision lies with the Enlightened Despot.

A successor is chosen when the current Despot is no longer fit to work; A computer shifts through the national database, and selects appropriately tuned individuals to continue the work. Those deemed to have too many flaws are dismissed, and the public votes for the Despot of their choice.

Despite the rigid political system, civil rights are well respected. Defense is a large issue, as is the general welfare of the people. Although some people might claim that we infringe on the civil rights on people, we beg to differ - surveilance is necessary to the security of a state. We make no actions to attempt to limit what people do, as long as it is within reason and concensual by all parties involved. We merely observe, and move only when we percieve a threat.

The Empire of Roycelandia is a large, prosperous nation with two major Colonies (Roycelandian East Africa and Coral Palm Island), and would be most interested in establishing formal diplomatic ties with your nation.

Our Emperor- His Imperial Majesty Emperor Royce I- enjoys huge amounts of support from the Populace, although just to be on the safe side, it is illegal to publicly insult His Majesty.

Officially Roycelandia and her Colonies are a Democracy- Citizens can vote for their local Member of Parliament etc, but what most people don't know is that His Majesty has Executive Veto over EVERYTHING in Parliament- in short, the Imperial Government can and does simply ignore things that they don't feel like dealing with, or where the Public disagree with his Majesty on important views.

Roycelandian East Africa occupies the RL nations of Kenya, Uganda, and The Sudan in Africa. The Capital is at Port Imperial, on the shores of Lake Victoria in what would be RL Uganda. Roycelandian East Africa is considerably more interesting, events wise, than Roycelandia, primarily because His Majesty keeps meddling in the affairs of REA's African Neighbours- including at least three Military Incursions, Election Tampering, Arms Smuggling, Sabotage, and nearly starting a Nuclear War over the site of a "Research Facility" that was being used to mine Uranium...

Coral Palm Island is a tropical paradise (much like Roycelandia), albeit on the other side of the world. It's a very liberal, laid back kind of place, full of Hippies, Tourists, and anyone else who would rather lie on the beach than do any work.

If you're still interested, Roycelandia would be prepared to let you establish Embasssies in Port Royal (Roycelandia), Port Imperial (Roycelandian East Africa), and Coral Palm City (Coral Palm Island)...

His Excellency, The Grand Duke of Luxornburg, accepts your offer. His Excellency offers you a place within the newly constructed Embassy Row. The only restrictions is that the security detail be limited to a company's worth due to possiblity of a larger number frightening the other embassies

The United Communist States of Zvarinograd is a radical offshoot from the stereotype communist/socialist countries because of it's pacifist policy towards all ideologies, races and people. The country is completely devoid of any military presence, the government instead diverts it's resources to science, technology and education. The country's research facilities are amazingly diverse, well funded and maintained and it's scientists are well trained due to a funding program in which nations from all walks of life may contribute to the research and recieve the technology afterwards. The program, along with resources freed from maintaining no military force and budgeting towards trade with other nations, gave the United Communist States of Zvarinograd a successful economic model. Elections are allowed individually inside the Communist states, but the Premier (myself) remains the unquestionable ruler of the entire country (and this remains unchallenged due to the people's trust in a peaceful new classless society).

The United Communist States of Zvarinograd's homeland lies in the Novaya Zemlya island group north of the Russian Federation and consequently it's climate is extemely harsh due to the Arctic winds. The people, however, have learned to adapt with scientific advances in personal clothing and heating systems. The landscape was originally barren, but the populace has occupied nearly all of the land, giving the country such a high urban to rural ratio. Again, the United Communist States of Zvarinograd looks to a scientific approach by creating artificial island platforms with self sustaining technologies.

With this information revealed, the United Communist States of Zvarinograd wishes an exchange of ambassadors between our nations to further the cause of peace between the ideology of communist/socialist states and the rest of the international community.

Many greetings from the Suunist People's Republic of Marimaia!

Premier Chiisu Suun has instructed me to initiate diplomatic ties with the Incorporated States of Exonerate, provided that you are willing of course.

Our prosperous nation thrives under the benevolent rule of Premier Suun and his government; as long as you don't harm others, it is your life to live as you wish. All the government asks in return is to be allowed to rule without dissent, and the people respect that wish. If you are interested in establishing trade relations then we can always come to a satisfactory arrangement. Should you be interested in some form of military cooperation such as basing rights, officer exchanges, or even closer ties, then we shall put you into contact with Defence Minister Kong.

May your nation be ever prosperous,
Rongyi Bei, Minister of Foreign Relations

The President of Adderton would like to open diplomatic relations with your country. Although we are of a small nation, we make it up with our pride and hope of a better future.

The Kingdom of Crookfur and the govenrment of His majesty Cameron IV would be delighted to take part in an exchange of emabssies.


Crookfur is a Large island located slap bang in the centre of the atlantic, just north of the gulf stream (meaning we get very very turbulant weather but with lots of rain so our land is rahter fertile, the sea conditions are a bit rough and our sailors consider sea state 6 to be pleasant).

Politically wise we are a constitutional monarchy with a 2 house parliment made up of the sernior and junior houses:
the senior house (or house of elders) consists of MPs elected from the ranks of the nobility and respected members of the major professions and a number of direct apointments.
The Junior house (or the assembly) is directly elected by the populance in a scottish parliment style mix of first past the post and proportional represetnation.
The major political parties are: The Crookfur national party (democratic socilists), the liberal democrats (Inofeensive centerist democracy) and the Whigs (new york times democracy).
Gernally speaking Crookfur politics tend to be slightly to the left of centre on most issues, kind of along the lines of RL scotland or scandinavian countires (which seeing as the populance is descended from vikings, kights templar and a massive scottish/northern european influx isn't suprising).

Crookfur has 2 over sea possesions:
Coveneant island: a large tropical island off the coast of equatoral africa, primarily used as our main space center and as a major fleet base
Fraser’s Island: trade island located off the coast of where TFUN used to be.

We also provide administration and humnaitarian support in a chain of islands off the south east of africa known as the Crookfur protectorate (see the battle of lakabi thread for details).

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 agrees-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) it may 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.

Minister for Pre-Subjugation External Affairs

Roycelandia - We would be glad to establish diplomatic ties with your nation. Perhaps we could establish an embassy in Port Royal?

Luxornburg - Thank you for your generous offer, we gladly accept.

Zvarinograd - It is always very interesting to see other forms of government, and your system intrigues us. We would gladly exchange ambassadors, and hopefully, we may learn from observing your nation.

Marimaia - We see that we share the basic ideology of allowing people civil rights while keeping a strong government in control. We would like to set up an embassy in your nation, provided that your government is willing. We're also looking forward to establishing economic ties with your nation, since trade is obviously beneficial to all parties involved.

Adderton - Size of your nation is no concern, and we would gladly lend a hand in helping developing nations reach their full potential.

Crookfur - We are honored by your presence, and gladly accept your offer.

The Evil Overlord - Although we are a little concerned with the UN classification of your nation, we do not discriminate in the establish of diplomatic ties. We believe that cutting off communications is counter-productive, and that a open line of communication should be kept available at all times. We accept your offer, and all terms attached to it. Please send us a copy of the laws of your nation so that we will not unintentionally infringe upon them.


We would be glad to recieve all interested parties - we have set aside half a square mile of land within our capital for all parties that have shown interest here. Ambassadors will be granted diplomatic immunity, but blatant abuse of that status will not be tolerated. We would be glad to provide whatever security is needed, but you may provide your own if you wish, provided that it is under the amount of 48 men.

The Republic of Kay Son is interested in opening relations with your country.

Roycelandia is only too pleased to invite Exonerate to establish an Embassy in Port Royal. We have an ideal site, located in the heart of the Business & Financial District of the city (it is, in fact, the former Yatonsan High Commission).

Similarly, we would be delighed to establish an Embassy in the Exonerate Capital. Our Diplomatic team is being assembled and looks forward to handling our International Relations...

Marimaia - We see that we share the basic ideology of allowing people civil rights while keeping a strong government in control. We would like to set up an embassy in your nation, provided that your government is willing. We're also looking forward to establishing economic ties with your nation, since trade is obviously beneficial to all parties involved.

We are most gratified to hear that. We have recently added another embassy row site in our capital Heiphong; you can choose either the site on the outskirts of the city, or the site near Luozao Palace, the Premier's official residence.

As far as economic ties are concerned, we greatly anticipate trading with you. Perhaps we should discuss our major imports and exports to see if there is any favourable agreement we can grant each other.

We would also like to accept your offer of an embassy in your nation. We always attach five security service agents to our embassies, but other than that we will place our trust in your security personnel.


Rongyi Bei,
Minister of Foreign Relations

Kay Son - We would also be glad to open relations with your nation. Once we recieve confirmation, we will set aside a small plot for you to place your embassy.

Roycelandia - Thank you, we gladly accept the site you have selected - we are sure it will be perfect for our the members of our Diplomatic Corps who are currently being selected and deployed. We hope the site that we selected for your nation will suffice - it is located in the Central Business District of our capital, and there are also many other embassies in the vicinity.

Marimaia - We will take whatever site is more convenient for you. We do not wish to become too much of a hassle.

Our nation specializes in the development and construction of electronics. From personal computers to TVs to radar systems to missile guidance systems - we do it all. We also have modest mineral desposits in our territory, including beryllium, uranium, and tungsten. We also have a booming information technology industry and conduct cutting-edge research in the field of chemisty and physics. We import much of our food from outside, and other products such as clothing, cars, etc.

The Republic of China (_Taiwan) would like to establish an embassy within your borders and arrange for an Exoneratean embassy inside our borders.

The Republic of China is an independent nation despite the name. THe political system is MMP, which allows the formation of coalition governments allowing for furtherment of demcoracy.

For information regarding trade ties, please contact our minister of commerce.

Marimaia - We will take whatever site is more convenient for you. We do not wish to become too much of a hassle.

Very well; we'll place you near Luozao Palace.

It would appear that our imports/exports will work out very nicely. We are a major exporter of automobiles and foodstuffs, while being an importer of tungsten and beryllium. Since both nations are heavy producers of electronics, perhaps we could enter into joint production ventures in the future.

Rongyi Bei, Minister of Foreign Relations
Kangtian Wei, Minister of Economic Affairs

Taiwan - Of course, we gladly accept. We gladly accept, and as before, have set aside a plot of land for the construction of your embassy. Our borders are always open to merchants who wish to trade their merchandise - we will contact you regarding establishing a more permanent agreement.

Marimaia - Thank you - members of our Diplomatic Corps have already departed towards your nation, and we are ready to recieve yours. Seeing how our interests coincide, we propose zero-tariffs for trade between our two nations. We will be sure to contact you when we have the need for a partner in a project regarding electronics.

While our nations are already bonded in numerous ways, the Führer is always looking for more ways to expand relations with its closes allies. So, if there's anything else that we could do, don't hesitate to bring it up.

We shall Dispatch construction teams and the first Diplomatic staff as soon as possible.
We look forward to a properous relationship.

Lt. Col. Williams, Minister of Foreign Affairs, People's Republic of Kay Son

The Junta have expressed interest in opening relations with your country. The Junta have already set aside a building in designated strictly for your own personal use. The Junta does acknowledge that this building is NOT in the capital city. T'sing T'sao is currently the safest metropolitan area within the PRK due to other areas (such as Kay Son) under inspection for any terrorist activity. [T'sing T'sao is the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army] If you disagree with such a location, the Junta will take your opinion into consideration, and will act upon it with goodwill.

OOC: Tag - Hey Exonerate, did you ask for a embassy in my thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127023&highlight=), if not I'll write something up within the next day or so... I've found some old threads of mine that need attention.

Super American VX Man - We are old allies, and we would gladly receive you.

Marimaia - Very well, we will welcome them when they arrive. Let this be a new era of cooperation between our two respective nations.

Kay Son - Thank you, we are sure that you have done the best you can ensure a safe environment for our ambassadors. We will also do the same for your delegation, but you need not worry - our nation is a very peaceful one, and crimes are almost unheard of.
