ATTN: International Community

I come forward today to announce the formation of the Democratic Republic of Cyclopea.

We have formed out of the territory once under the dominion of the long dissolved Republic of Astaroth which formed and ended in a very short period in late 2002. The Cyclopean people have a rich and lush history of independence, free spirit, a love of freedom, and a penchant for rebellions. When the Astaroth party stepped to the forefront of politics in the Erisian region in mid-2002 under the promise of minimal government and social unification, they seized power on by a small margin on the grounds of a public referandum.

However, when it was revealed months later that the election was staged and the Astaroth administration sought to dissolve the national sovereignty into a larger world entity, the population revolted and in a short and efficient coup, overthrew the government and the nation descended into a peaceful anarchy.

Only recently, with a recent boost in population that made much of the population believe that preservation of liberty with so many people unregulated was possible, did the Cyclopean people unite and form one large, liberal government to preserve the well-being of the people and act as a medium for interaction with the international community, and above all, act as an undeniable bastion of freedom in the world.

The government operates under the principles of "The Philosophy of Liberty" (http://uploads.ungrounded.net/67000/67084_PhilosophyOfLiberty_englis.swf), and believes strongly in the necessity of preserving sovereign liberty. We have recently been accepted into the UN, believing that the greatest way to join the world community while remaining an independent nation would be to find a common ground and become somewhat aligned with the general, worldly state-of-being.

I am pleased to see such a strong and burgeoning international community, and sincerely look forward to interacting with you in the future.

I hereby welcome any other newcomers to the international scene to introduce themselves as well, by telling us of your history and your current state of affairs.

Adam Jefferson
President and Chief International Relations Officer of the Democratic Republic of Cyclopea

As a country that as admittedly small in size and not very strong militarily, we gratefully accept your offer of military protection in the event that we are attacked by another nation. As a nation that strives towards peace, we have adopted a strongly pacifistic stance towards pre-emptive war, but are more than willing to defend ourselves and our allies in the event of an emergency.

We also thank you for the offer to construct an embassy within your capital city, and we've appointed Dr. Austin Garcia as a possible ambassador to your nation, awaiting your approval.

Dear President Jefferson

The Democratic Republic of Shang-Ti is currently in the process of shedding our isolationist heritage. Being an island nation, we have enjoyed countless years in the development of peace and prosperity. However, we wish to join the world order to advance trade, diplomacy, and culture.

To affect these ends, we kindly extend our hand at trading ambassadors through a shared program. We have recently set aside a sizeable portion of our capitol city, Shih'Aori for the development and construction of embassies. This “Embassy Row” is situated between the Government District and Cultural District, allowing ambassadors the convenience of working with our national leaders during the day and enjoying the cultural sights and sounds of Shang-Ti at night.

Please review the following document carefully, as this spells out the terms and conditions for establishing an embassy within the nation of Shang-Ti. Although the terms may seem strict, it is for your national protection as well as that of Shang-Ti. If terms are agreeable to prospective nations, we would require a reply with the name of your ambassador, the city in which Shang-Ti may set up an embassy compound, and any terms/conditions which your nation requires of Shang-Ti embassies.

As a closing note, nations that are deemed to be aggressive, war-mongering, or terrorist regimes will not be permitted embassies within the Democratic Republic of Shang-Ti.

We look forward to your reply, and the chance to create lasting diplomatic change.

Best Regards,

Dr. Kim Zhuo, PhD.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Democratic Republic of Shang-Ti

(OOC: I basically ripped this document from The Evil Overlord, so I’d like to give him credit for the base of this document.)



This document provides the authorization of both President Eric Dao and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Dr. Kim Zhuo for the building of Embassies within the Diplomatic Quarter of The Democratic Republic of Shang-Ti’s (now hence forth known as DRST) capitol city, Shih-Aori. As the capitol is an inland city, 24-hours notice must be given to the Tao [Department] of Foreign Affairs in written format such as teletype, secured e-mail, or secured fax prior to the arrival or departure of Shang-Ti borders. Travel outside the diplomatic compound must be escorted by Shang-Ti Foreign Services personnel.

Rules for Diplomatic personnel and stations are as follows:

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

Embassy Law Enforcement
Embassies are responsible for their own security and law enforcement. Embassies are permitted a small armed force up to thirty (30) people to accomplish this. No foreign nationals may carry weapons outside the Embassy compound.

Subjugation of DRST Law
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 DRST law outside the Embassy itself.

Expelling of Diplomatic Personnel
The President or Secretary of Foreign Affairs 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 DRST and the government in question, any personnel so expelled are secure in their persons and personal baggage until after they have been removed from DRST territory (in other words, if we expel your Ambassador, he still has diplomatic immunity until he leaves DRST territory).

Diplomatic Security Outside Embassy Compound
Diplomatic security outside of the Embassy compound is the responsibility of DRST Foreign Services personnel and National Police personnel. No foreign diplomatic personnel are allowed to travel unescorted within DRST territory. All foreign diplomatic nationals employed at the Embassy who object to this are free to live within the Embassy compound.

Electronic Communication Outside 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.

Diplomatic Pouch Communication Outside Embassy Compound
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 Foreign Services personnel before the establishment of the Embassy. Any subsequent changes to anti-intrusion electronics must also be demonstrated to Foreign Services 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 DRST is not attempting electronic breaching of the Diplomatic Pouch.

Communication with Foreign Nationals Accused of Crimes
Embassy personnel will be permitted to communicate with citizens of the Embassy's government accused of crimes within DRST territory. This communication will be monitored by Foreign Services and National Police personnel, and is not considered privileged information. The President or Secretary of Foreign Affairs reserves the right to restrict any such communication in the event it may (in the opinion of Tao Foreign Affairs) it may jeopardize National Security.

Diplomatic Vehicles
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 Tao Foreign Affairs in the presence of Embassy security staff. All equipment installed in or on the vehicles will be demonstrated to TFS personnel. Any additional equipment installed subsequent to approval must also be examined by TFS 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 Tao Foreign Services 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 DRST 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.

Diplomatic Personnel and Espionage
Any Embassy personnel engaging in espionage will be summarily expelled (if granted Extraterritoriality) or prosecuted within the full extent of DRST law (all others). Embassy personnel who escape (or attempt to escape) the supervision of their Foreign Affairs escorts will be assumed to be engaged in espionage.

Travel Restrictions Placed on Embassy Personnel
No Embassy personnel are permitted to depart Shih’Aori for any reason other than to leave DRST territory.

Assuming that these terms are acceptable, The President and Secretary of Foreign Affairs welcome the opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with your government. Please send any applicable restrictions for DRST Diplomatic personnel in your territory.

Best Regards,

Dr. Kim Zhuo, PhD.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Democratic Republic of Shang-Ti

We accept your proposal. You are invited to establish an embassy within our capital city of T'sing T'sau.

The Government of Falastur would like to encourage diplomacy with Cyclopea by trading Embassies.

ATTN: Dr. Kim Zhuo of The Democratic Republic of Shang-Ti

We highly respect your desire for stringent security, and respect the level of consideration you've given to the issue of protection in this regard. With that in mind, we accept your proposal, and the terms and conditions therein described.

We've appointed Dr. Samantha Anderson as head ambassador to your nation, and look forward to scheduling a meeting in the future wherein you can become acquainted her and our approach to diplomacy.

ATTN: The Holy Imperial Superpower of Falastur

While it is international policy of the Democratic Republic of Cylopea to not enter into formalized agreements with nations that exercise an exceptional level of dominion by force over their people, we are not isolationists in this regard, and seek to achieve peace with all nations indiscriminately.

Therefore, while we look forward to the possibility of a mutually beneficial trade relationship, we will have to opt out of an embassy-exchange agreement at this time.
