We have to much money we need to build embassies!

A budgetary review was conducted today and it was discovered that the ‘department of foreign affairs’ has been reporting a surplus for the last thirteen years (13 RL days). Every year this department has been relegated 2% of the national budget and expected to proceed as such. It has recently come to the attention of the house of commons that Nova Hope has no embassy, with anyone, and employ a diplomatic core of five hundred people. The average salary of a diplomat in this country is $60K and the foreign affairs department has an expenditure of thirty million a year.

The discrepancy in accounting has lead to an accumulation of $715 billion dollars in the foreign affairs treasury. With this amount discovered the government has decided to open a plethora of new embassies to spend the money accordingly.

**What this means to you**

We would like to build embassies in other countries to maintain peaceable relations with them. We will build embassies and hire diplomats until the budget is balanced.

Due to the overly apparent security risks in your country a very special emabassy would have to be built. Rathar then the typical handful of gaurds we would place an armed platoon and gun ship in the embassy as well as certain 'embassy defences' if this is acceptable we would be more then willing to do so.

During the Ferrussian/Fyreheart conflict both of those substantially larger nations went to great pains to avoid our airspace as the density of air defence and the habit of locals to take 'potshots' at low flying aircraft make the Skys of Skibereen for a foreign craft a very unfriendly place.
We will allow you to use the Gunship, however you have been warned.

ooc: Wow your the first one to RP out an official response and that deserves some reponse inkind.

IC:

I thank you very much for welcoming us into your marvelous nation. We are feeling very welcomed and already the staff has begun to comment on attitudes of the local as they mingle in the public.

I have been asked by my superiors to send an appropriate gift to you to show our appreciation and gratitude for allowing this embassy to be constructed. The gift you will find attached to this communiqué are the keys for a Noviet made automobile. This sports car has been clocked at speeds of excess of 220 mph. I personally am not a fan but they are very luxurious and armored to boot. Our own President owns one as does my husband the deputy minister of foreign affairs.

On another note we would like to begin negotiations with opening trade to you, we don’t want to push anything however my government is willing to allow favored trading status granted upon you. This status would mean that the tariffs for any Rockfort products would not exceed 5% for any reason.

Again thank you for the welcome
Noviet Ambassador to Rockfort
Katherine Blanely.

Dearest leader of Nova Hope,

The Republic of National Commonwealth would eagerly like to extend a long and peaceful diplomatic relationship with your nation. We would also like to expand trade talks in the near future. As such the RNC Foreign Relations & Consul Commission has already reserved real-estate for your embassy in our capital, New Verum, at 13367 Paxam Avenue. The space allows for a facility of up to 300,000 sq. ft. We hope that you will find this acceptable and will provide us with an opportunity to exchange an embassy in your nation.

“Salutations to the representative for the RNC, we thank you for welcoming us into your country as friends. We are very interested in expanding trading opportunities and perhaps we should send delegates to discuss this further. If you are truly interested contact us via telegram addressed to the Director of Commerce Reginold Handley. An embassy will be constructed at the given address with extra members of staff to expedite trade negotiations. Our ambassador to your country, Elaine Churub, will be made available to you as well.”

ooc: sorry bout that I didn’t notice it and I’m getting a lot more call backs then I thought.

IC:

Thank you for the warning it will be considered when placing our embassy. In your country we will be placing an embassy capable of defending itself and with this new information we will be putting in a launcher similar to that found on an aircraft carrier. The embassy will be equipped with one jet which has a positive thrust to weight ratio, allowing it to climb at 90 degrees after exiting the launcher which will make the point of low flying aircraft moot.

Cost to implement embassy in New Dublin $3 billion. Diplomatic core including security personnel, 3,000.

Note: All New Dublin diplomats will have an average increase of salary of $10K

Speaking on behalf of the Archduke and of all the citizens of the Grand Duchy of Monte Ozarka, I would much like to extend the hand of friendship to Nova Hope.

As such, we would gladly exchange embassies. We welcome a representative of Nova Hope to set up an embassy in our capital city Reisz. If you are to accept the only restrictions placed on this embassy are:
1) It shall not harbor any sort of large ordnance.
2) The total guard detail personnel must not exceed the number of 75.
3) No permanent weapon emplacement with a direct line of fire into territory not within the embassy will be erected within 100 feet of any street.

Furthermore, Reisz is on a large plain, with hills to the northwest and forests to the southwest. It lies across what used to be a major trading river, but with the advent of new technologies and the opening of new ports, the river serves on scenic purposes. Choose to build wherever you wish to.

This is acceptable to us as we are going to implement the standard embassy in your country. The standard embassy contains a staff of fifty counting armed guards. We question why you would put this into writing for us and not let us use our common sense. The other embassies were extreme cases in which our people’s safety was a concern. Here it is not and we will have a small contingent of people.

As for building an embassy in our capital, what kind of embassy where you looking for? Please give us some specification so we can make plans for you.

We question why you would put this into writing for us and not let us use our common sense...

As for building an embassy in our capital, what kind of embassy where you looking for? Please give us some specification so we can make plans for you.

We specifically put that into writing because although most countries follow standard protocol, there may be other countries that choose not to. Frankly, we don't need a battalion of SpecOps forces in the middle of our capital.

As for the embassy building itself, we have a few special requests. The driveway immediately before the entrance will be covered. The front lobby will provide space for artwork. Black and white marble floors, please, with pink granite columns. Basically, it shall be a very photogenic spot. Behind the lobby, there will be a large reception area, with high ceilings. We will take care of the rest of the furnishings. Building can be one-storied or multiple-storied. We request bullet-proof, shatter-proof glass in all windows (exterior and interior), please. We will cover all costs that may be necessary.

Thank you,

We have entered your bid for a contracter into the system and bids are stating to fly. You or your own companies can bid, it's your embassy you have autonomy in making it. (Within the specs you have given us.) Your embassy should be built before the end of the month.

ooc: approx an hour RL time, unless you wanted your ppl specificly to build the embasy in which case we can distort the time line :wink:

We thank you. An embassy in your country would be very helpful as we are already experiencing a need for it due to logistical issues in conferences we have been attending in your country. We will be building the standard embassy in capital. For future reference what is the name of your capital city.

Our capital is named Praeton, it is very well protected from pretty much anything (more details (www.freewebs.com/praetonia)). Also, could we request that you build an embassy that we have designed, looking somewhat like this:

Nova Hope,

The Commonwealth of Tarqys would like to accomodate a Noviet Embassy. If you are willing, it would be our first. Armed personnel are welcome, though our national policy dictates no weapons (we have no standing army or traditional air force or navy, and our police force is not equipped with firearms). However, if you still wish to bring personnel with small-arms you are more than willing.

Should you agree to join us in Tarqys, your Noviet Embassy would be located in the capitol city of Lantana, where we have recently opened a new, $36 billion international airport - spared no expense. Our cities are not typical of other modern cities. We have no CBD (Central Business District or downtown). Instead, we have an inner core of social services and social amenities (i.e., governmental agencies, parks, etc.), as well as citizen housing, ringed with our Concentric Business District. Your embassy would be constructed in this inner core.

Construction of the embassy would be handled by domestic firms and would be overseen by our Directorate of Urban Development. You are more than welcome to provide schematics/building design as we want to fully incorporate your desires into Lantana - in fact this is highly recommended (we prefer to visualize things in Tarqys). If you wish to bring your own agency to oversee construction, this would be most agreeable.

A short list of national statistics:
-Modern Tech and First World comparable
-Unicameral, Representational Democratic legislative body - The Tarqysian Legislate
-Authoritative, Socialistic Economy
-Libertarian on Civil and Political rights
-4-day work weeks are highly typical (M,T,W,Th)
-Head of State: Tarqysian Director, C Edward Adams

Temperature:
-Climate is Mediterannean in origin - very minimal fluxuation of seasonal weather, due to Tarqys being a more longitudal than latitudal nation and surrounded by water.
-Lantana is a coastal community, located on the northwestern extreme of Tarqys.
-An average of 320 days of clear, sunny skies.

Urban Regulations:
-Vehicles are not permitted within the city limits, and we strongly urge you to adhere to this regulation. A vehicle is any mode of transportationin excess of 100lbs and has an internal motor/engine - negating mass transit systems. However, airborne vehicles are permitted and thus you are more than welcome to transport a VTOL craft for use on your embassy grounds (if you need help transporting this VTOL unit to Lantana, please let us know).
-Land value is high in the inner core and would be very expensive to construct any building here. But, because we wish to have you and not to burden you any further than we already have, your embassy will witness immunity to taxation of any kind and your diplomats will have access to all domestic services as our citizenry would. Diplomatic immunity will also be granted. These are fairly typical of embassorial agreements.

Upon agreement, your flag and short list of national data will be placed on record in our Directorate of Foreign Affairs and posted on their site ( http://www.geocities.com/tarqys/Directorate_of_Foreign_Affairs.html ). Upon creation of the Lantana Urban Map, we will place in the legend a marker by which you can readily identify your embassy.

We will welcome you to important domestic hearings as well as international ones.

Tarqys hopes you choose to stay with us and we look forward to strengthen ties with the Noviet People. Furthermore, this may help with the TAPRES alliance our two nations are enterprising.

Happy trails,

We are more than willing to accommodate your exterior aesthetic appeal, however the inside will be completely of our own, classified, accord.

…A very large well written piece of in character literature….

The official Response from the office of the Prime Minister Marion Fosheemy is as follows.

Skyee Denver,
I did appreciate the information sent to me about Tarqys and more specifically Lantana. We do not mind that the construction of the exterior and foundation be completed by local firms or agencies however, the construction of the interior and more specifically the inner sanctum will need to be put under the direct control of the Noviet Department of Foreign Affairs. We will be constructing a more than average sized embassy in your country as we foresee a need for it with the creation of TAPRES becoming an ever approaching reality. The embassy will staff 500 people and it is my hope that these men and women will assist in the fast tracking of the TAPRES organization.

The particulars of the Embassy are as follows. It will be a blue steel building with large clear windows on all sides. The windows will be a bullet proof flexi-fiber substance that simulates glass. The building itself will extend 15 floors up and have a helipad on the roof. The grounds will contain one vehicle garage, with the motorcade in event of emergency. There will be a smaller separate building which will contain the guards quarters. As for the guards themselves we will compromise, they will not carry any ordinance larger than a desert eagle pistol. We feel that some security precautions are always needed. The helicopter will be a civilian model and not posses any weaponry, as for transportation our staff there will take the mass transit system like everyone else.

As for the issues of land values and the costs of local contractors do you expect two and a half billion dollars to be enough to complete the embassy in its entirety?

We hope that this cements our relationship and regardless of the success of TAPRES we hope to continue good communications with your nation.”

Ooc: I’ll make a world fact book entry for myself just give me some time.

Prime Minister Marion Fosheemy,

We are very pleased with your decision and building layout design. We welcome a larger embassy as we agree to your reasons for having it bulge a little more. We thank you for limiting the force of the weaponry. We must be up front with you, it will be a bit hard importing bullet-proof materials, but the 2.5 billion you have allocated for this project will more than suffice. The importing of said material and its implementation account for the lengthier time of construction.

The interior will be completely created on your own accord. As for the motorcade, we will create a single lane roadway from the 'Embassy Square' in the Inner Core, to the outside highways and motorways. When the embassy is completed, we would like to have a ceremony in which your motorcade processes down this single lane road amidst much fanfare. Prior to your embassy, we had only small promenades constructed. However, for your security, we will be creating said road. It will be frequented by pedestrians and cyclists, so we will be installing warning devices along the breadth of it. These can be triggered from your embassy or anyone of our Governmental offices. We hope this will not inconvenience you further than we already have.

We feel this allows us to move our nations together in 'Friendly Ties.' Your data will be posted on our Directorate of Foreign Affairs webpage and we will maintain communication.

We will send word upon completion of your embassy.

Regards and peace,

Skyee Denver
Director of Foreign Affairs
Commonwealth of Tarqys

Oh? What building codes?

Things such as the depth of the building, Any ordinance you plan on keeping in the Embassy, making sure that the exterior isn't Pink, rose or and variant thereof etc. We simply request a general description of what your putting in.

Sarzonia would like to establish an exchange of embassies and would be glad to reserve a location for you in our capital.

And your capital city is?


The Commonwealth of Rose would love for an Embassy to be built in it's Capital City. Which is Rose. Also, since we are an Island, I think it is benificial that you have access to our dock. Your building shall be built in Embassy Road. Where all foreign Diplomats live in our country. I hope you agree to build it there, and any additional funds will be covered by us, in fact, we will provide the guards out of our Rosktai, our Special Forces. We welcome you with open arms. But as soon as you step out of Embassy grounds you will abide by our rules. Do you agree?

President Sergei Ilyanov of the Commonwealth of Rose.
UN Delegate of the New Roman Empire.
I am saying that I don't want anyone cause trouble. You may have your immunity, but I don't want trouble on my streets. Nothing much yes?

I assure you our diplomats hold themselves in the highest caliber of behaviour. We will put a slightly smaller then standard embassy in your nation. one with 20 people and an embassy costing about 100 million
