The Incorporated States of Sarzonia hereby announces that it wishes to establish embassies in other countries and have other countries establish embassies in our capital, Woodstock. We have a beautiful section of Woodstock devoted to embassies called Embassy Cove. We also have space reserved in a nearby suburb, Saugerties.

Anyone who would like to exchange embassies is invited to contact my Senior Vice President for External Affairs, Mr. Mark Lorber, to begin the process of establishing your embassy.

[OOC: I'm going to TRY to post a list of countries who already have an embassy. I'm likely going to forget a lot of people, so if I do, please post here. Since some people RP with names of ambassadors, if you have a name for either your ambassador to Sarzonia or my ambassador to your country, feel free to post that (for instance, if I gave you a name and I forgot it).

We are pleased that you are interested in exchanging embassies. Please contact Senior Vice President for External Affairs Mark Lorber to make the arrangements within Sarzonia and please refer him to your foreign minister so that we can make similar arrangments in your country.

We would prefer it if the delegates could fly to the capital city's airport, Andre City International Airport.

Meanwhile, at the ACIP, 7 delegates and 21 Party members selected to become embassy employees boarded the KN-12, with personal orders from Witzenberg not to screw up and face the consequences. The Air Traffic Control Tower gave permission for flight AHG-117 to take off and the aircraft sped off down the runway heading for the Woodstock International Jetport in Sarzonia.

<OOC>
There sure are a lot of these 'Embassy' threads recently ...
</OOC>

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:

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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 external 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. If any electronics within the Diplomatic Pouch do not match the X-ray signature of the agreed-upon system, the Diplomatic Pouch 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.

8. 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 (in the opinion of Internal Security) it may jeopardize National Security.

9. 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.

10. 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.

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

Nations desiring diplomatic contact with His Omniferocity’s government must agree to these conditions prior to the establishment of diplomatic relations.

We have reviewed your request to take part in our embassy exchange program and we are delighted to accept your request. We have reserved a spot for you in our new row of embassies in Saugerties.

Please include some information for our delegation about customs and laws in Ferratus to ensure that their stay will be positive for both our countries.

Our ambassadorial team and 80 armed personnel are currently departing Talthia. They should arrive in Sarzonia shortly.

A few of our embassy ground rules:

1) We will not grant full diplomatic immunity to any of your diplomats. We will be able to grant your ambassadorial staff partial immunity; for any minor infractions of our laws, we will be flexible to those persons.

2) You may provide security within your embassy with armed forces. You will be allowed up to 80 soldiers within the embassy and none of those soldiers may leave the embassy grounds whilst on duty. These security personnel may be armed with any weapons that; do not rely on concentrated explosions as an offensive mechanism, (no rocket or grenade launchers) and that are hand held and not mounted. Traditional grenades will not be allowed, but tear gas, smoke and stun grenades are fine.

You will not be allowed to house any artillery, aircraft etc but we would be willing to provide you with any vehicles you may require within reason. The only exception to this ban on military vehicles will be two unarmed helicopters and one unarmed armoured car.

3) The embassy will be regarded by us as your sovereign land and will be treated with the respect it deserves. However, your embassy will have to be open to our government at all times provided your ambassador is agreeable to their arrival.

I hope these rules are okay with you. We of course would follow the same rules.

Dear Sir,

Following the ending of an era of hundred fifty-five years of the pure isolation of Riania, in which no foreigner has set foot on one of the Allied States, Riania is slowly opening its boundaries for trade or diplomatic relations. The newly opened "Embassy Row", located in the spacious suburbs of our capital, Oak Hill, has many plots still vacant and therefore I would like to propose an official embassy exchange between Riania and Sarzonia, as this might prove beneficial to the communication in future encounters on the world stage.

May your nation prosper,

Existing out of Ambassador Darryl Lewis (31), his family, a small staff of fourteen men and women, eighteen Royal Marines and four bodyguards, this diplomatical contigent will reside permanently inside the embassy.

Special Requests:None

Please apply to our nation sepperatly (ooc:via my embassy thread)

Thank you in advance, Exetonian Empire.

Notquiteaplace would like to exchange embassies with Sarzonia, we will send our trusted diplomat Reece Edwicks. He requires 2 guards and if possible we would like to be within 2 miles of a SAM battery. (most NQP civilians know where their local missile defence site is, its equivalent to your local pub in terms of frequency and locality).

Otherwise we have no special requests. This will allow quick contact between our nations and our abassador will hopefully be able to act as a swapping point for economic data of our nations (balance of trade and so).

If you wish an embassy for simular purposes, just ask and we shall do what we can.

We accept your terms and have made available one of the first new plots in Embassy Cove in Woodstock. Among the preparations we have made in construction of the section is the construction of SAM batteries to ensure the protection of all of our embassies. Your plot will be 600 metres from the newest SAM battery.

We thank you for sending Mr. Edwicks and we would like to submit Adam Dawson as our ambassador. He has served as a liaison between delegations from Isselmere-Nieland and Praetonia and our government and we believe he is well-qualified to serve Sarzonia as the ambassador to your fine country.

I share your hope that this will be the beginning of a great relationship between our two countries. We wish you and yours Godspeed.

We will prepare an embassy in the heart of our capital city. Your embassy may have up to 30 armed guards and again, will be less than 600 metres from a SAM battery (as all of NQP tends to be less than a couple of miles excepting really rural areas). The crime rate is especially low in the area he will reside. All our embassies are near the train line which has a direct train to the airport. Trains to our ports (to reach the other five islands that make our nation up) run regularly. We will look to your ambassador at any point where we need contact with your government of an importnat but not urgent nature. We also hope to show him some of our glorius nation.


We look foward to this exchange and hope that both our governments can benifit in the knowledge they have of running a country from this endevour.

Perhaps an embassy exchange between our great nations would benefit us both? I have a wonderful embassy complex right outside Persepolis palace for your use. Oh, and as long as you don't put WMDs there feel free to station whatever you want in the complex.

On culture, Parthia is defined best by the faith of the nation, Zoroastrianism. Though diplomats are welcome to exit their embassy for unofficial purposes, one should keep in mind several taboos most Parthians have. Firstly, Its best to not enter Zoroastrian Fire-Temples, there is a procedure required for people who don't belong to the faith to enter and its really best not to enter at all. Parthians are also quite conservative politically, and debating about politics publically is not considered proper except in coffee shops and hookah bars (both of which are popular in Parthia). Otherwise, most things are pretty westernized, so there are no real issues.

There is one procedure for diplomats however that may cause some problems. When Parthians are in the presence of the Shah in his throne room, one is expected to bow deeply upon entering and to avert one's eyes from the Shah. In other situations the latter part is unessesary.

"I... h-... huh... hay... HATE... flying!" one of the Godulan Marines stuttered whilst cowering in a corner with blankets all over him.

"You know," Sirzan Aktei, Soon-To-Be Godulan-Sarzonian Diplomatic Consul, mused, "the chances of crashing in a Godulan airplane such as this, especially on a day with weather nothing short of perfect, are virtually nil. Less even than the chances of you getting your head knocked off by a meteorite made of pure gold whilst getting eaten to death by a horde of demon clowns."

"Kuh... key... keyword 'Virtually'!" issued out from the mound of blankets.

Sirzan turned to one of his attendants and whispered: "I'm ALMOST tempted to go up to the pilot and ask him to say something about a piece of the wing falling off... just to see what our gopher will do."

The attendant chuckled. "Its unwise to provoke the unstable, sir."

"Hence 'almost'."

Ladies and Gentlemen, we're approximately 20 minutes away from landing at Woodstock International Airport in Sarzonia. YES, there is a giant peace-sign on the runway...

"I KNEW IT!" came a random voice off in the distance.

Please return all dinner trays in their upright and locked positions, as you can see, the seatbelt light has been turned on, and passengers are asked to return to their seats and fasten the aforementioned seatbelts...

"NOOOOOOOO..." the covered marine whimpered.

And that includes you, mister blankets.

"oooooo..."


The plane landed in a supremely normal manner, which caused raucus applause from everybody except for the formerly covered marine, who had fainted dead away when he saw the ground rushing up at him in one of the windows.

After a few minutes of taxiing around the airport and giving the middle finger to another airplane that tried to cut them off, everybody departed the airplane and headed into the terminal.

"whoa... it DOES have a peace sign on the runway!"

One tech adept: de-facto commander of the installation.
One apprentice tech priest.
Two praetorian servitors: Guards for the facility.
One transmat servitor: Communications with our PSAB offices.
One member of the Orders Dialogues: Effectively a limited ambassador.

I am afraid that our populous is rather culturally isolationist so you would be limited to a facility of similarly tiny size in a equally disadvantageous position at our own border.

Sincerely,
The minister of foreign interaction

The Republic of Aligned Statehoods
Official Proclamation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Republic of Aligned Statehoods hereby extends the hand of diplomacy to Sarzonia. We would like to take this time to request an embassy in your nation and to offer one in the The Republic of Aligned Statehoods.

Foremost, I would like to provide you with some information about the Republic of Aligned Statehoods. The Republic of Aligned Statehoods is a region and regional government dedicated to scientific research, humanitarian aid and the advancement of freedoms through science. The regional government is a core voting body that is made up from individuals recognized by the population for their academic excellence and accomplishments. The base voting body will be 11 members from the Republic of Aligned Statehoods and one member for each ten million citizens of a member nation, not to exceed ten. The president of the region is chosen by the governing body by ballot every three years. The regional government is also the academic licensing authority for the region and is known to have some of the strictest graduation requirements in the world.

We have prepared land on the outskirts of our regional capitol for your embassy, please provide us with the basic design which you would prefer. We will provide you with two helipads at the embassy location as well as priority service at Dover International the regional hub airport. Two newly constructed three bedroom, two bath homes will be available for your staff within 3 miles of your embassy as well as a guard barracks below ground at the embassy site. The property of your embassy, all associated buildings and all diplomatic vehicles shall be considered sovereign territory of your nation and subject to the laws of your nation. All ambassadors and essential staff of your nation will hold diplomatic immunity while in any member nation of the region.

We request the same provisions and wish for you to consider our open ownership of firearms. We hereby request dispensation for our Ambassador and his assistants to carry firearms concealed when away from the embassy. I would of course offer your diplomatic staff the same privileges throughout our region. The provisions of this agreement should be that the firearms carried under diplomatic immunity shall conform to our statute of maintaining concealment of said firearm(s) unless loss of life or property is imminent.

Long have the people of Novikov desired a diplomatic relationship with the influential powers of this world, yet internal strife has prevented such relations until now.

Long has Novikov stood alone on the world stage, representing herself. Our embassies and halls of foreign diplomats are empty, and our allies continue to disappear following the breakdown of the second IADF. In such a situation, Novikovian diplomats are readily seeking friends in this tumultuous world.

Novikov has had minor dealings with the people of Sarzonia in the past, but we desire to build upon these relations and enter into a lasting diplomatic relationship with the great state that is Sarzonia. As such, we offer any Sarzonian diplomat free access to Novikov and lodging within our embassy system.

Our embassy system consists not of a variety of embassy buildings but rather a series of free office buildings and quarters in which to house foreign diplomats of whatever nation wishes to negotiate with the Novikovian Government. Sarzonian diplomats will be given the same treatment.

We will provide any Sarzonian ambassador with a fully furnished office with an attached reception area, as well as sleeping quarters - all in what has become the one and only embassy building on Novikovian soil, 1/11 Gabivkovo, Poldi’sk - across from the Parliamentary Hall. This embassy building is granted standard extra-territorial rights with a few exceptions. Because many nations’ ambassadors are housed on the premise, security is strictly enforced. If the ambassador required bodyguards, they must be confined to the ambassador’s quarters so long as they are carrying a weapon – this insures the security of other diplomats just down that hall. If an armed escort is required outside the embassy, it will be provided by the Poldi’sk Local Police Barracks. Additional rights of foreign diplomats include diplomatic immunity from any crime save capital crimes (murder, rape, arson, and conspiracy), paid meals provided by the State, and paid transport aboard any Novikovian public transport system.

The Novikovian Government would agree to similar terms for our ambassador, and would also agree to the construction of an embassy anywhere on Sarzonian soil, under any circumstance. We hope that these offers lead to a profitable exchange for both the people of Novikov and Sarzonia.

Greetings, Mark Lorber.

I am honored to recieve an response from the Incorporated States of Sarzonia. It certainly is understandable that sometimes comminques get lost in the constant jumble of thousands or even millions of daily transmissions between thousands of nations both large and small, rich and poor, ancient and new. Your apology is gracefully accepted, and fully understood.

Sharina is a nation that prides itself on free flow of information and civil rights. It is standard Sharina doctrine to encourage free flow of information, because that breeds competition. With competition, comes great advances and enrichment of human life. Without competition, our medicine, technology, and cultures would still be stuck in either the Stone Age or the Dark Age. We in Sharina also value progress, because we must press forward, because in history, forward is the way to go.

Sharina has learned that the Incorporated States of Sarzonia appears to share similiar views on freedom and progress. We would be quite honored to establish formal and informal ties with your fine people. I am personally authorizing setting aside several acres of land in Cultrez, a major city devoted exclusively to embassies, international tourism, international corporations, and intermixing of international cultures and traditions along with Sharinan cultures and traditions. You can establish a tourism bureau, businesses, additional embassies, and so forth in Cultrez.

In addition, you may also have a formal embassy in Lodis, Sharina's capital city, set in the breath-taking Grebev Mountain Range, where your digintaries would be treated to awe-inspiring sights of beautiful waterfalls, lush forests, and wonderful landscapes in the distance. In addition, the multi-millennia old ancient fortress-cities of pre-Sharina civilization are a short distance away from Lodis, should your dignitaries desire a tourism trip.

I eagerly look forward to engaging in relations with your fine people, and I truly hope we may grow closer together, stand up in proud solidarity, and grow to become good friends, for friends are priceless, worth far more than anything else.

Live well and prosper.

UNIverseVERSE Embassy Delegation and Building Details.

The Embassy itself is located on a 1-acre plot of land (defined as 210 by 210 feet) surrounded by a 10-foot high wall, topped with barbed wire, and with a walkway 8 feet up on the inside. The wall is 8 inches thick, and made of reinforced concrete. In fact, all exterior walls in the Embassy are 8 inches thick, and reinforced concrete. The main embassy building is building is 70 feet by 70 feet, and is 3 stories tall, each of which is eight feet in height. The roof of the embassy building is flat, and is surrounded by a 3-foot high wall. This building is situated in the northwestern quadrant of the embassy grounds, with its southeastern corner on the central point of the embassy. In the northeastern quadrant of the Embassy grounds there is a helipad, 60 feet square, with its centre in the centre of the northeastern quadrant. The southeastern quadrant contains the barracks for the guards (100 beds in 10 rooms, with latrines.), a mess room, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium. In the southwestern corner there is the main entrance (in the western wall) and a garage for parking of vehicles. The remainder of the grounds is smooth lawns and box hedges, with a driveway leading from the garages to the entrance, and gravel paths. The entire grounds is to be illuminated by arc lamps at night.

The Embassy is to be a three-story building, with a different main function on each floor. On the first floor there is a dining hall (seating 100), a kitchen, 4 large conference rooms, each with a long table to seat 20, a computer projection system, chairs, etc (we will bring in the furnishings), and 10 smaller meeting rooms, which have room for a table seating 10 people, and some spare room. The main door of the Embassy is in the southern wall, and is a large double door. The second floor contains the offices of the Ambassador and his staff; thirty-five is the conventional number. Also there is a small kitchen for serving drinks and light snacks. The third floor has the bedrooms of the permanent Embassy staff, each with an en-suite bathroom. The interior decoration and furnishings of the Embassy will be done by UNIverseVERSian workers.

I find it curious that while our two nations are so close, we have not exchanged embassies up to this point. I propose we rectify this oversight post haste. The Imperium proposes to build, at a site of your choosing, a facility large enough to host a senior ambassador, his family, and a large staff. Also, for the sake of protection, the embassy should be able to garrison two squads of mechanized infantry, their infantry fighting vehicles, a main battle tank, and a tracked mortar carrier. While this may seem like a lot to post at an embassy in a friendly nation, keep in mind that this is a standard platoon-sized mechanized task force.

I, on my own behalf and that of the Empress, sincerely hope you propose a reciprical embassy within the Imperium. We will of supply a facility to house any staff and garrison that you feel neccessary.

We do not close the door on establishing diplomatic relations with your nation; however, we would seek assurances that genocide does not fall under your nation's standard domestic policies before we would be eager to establish such ties.

Your concern is understandable, but rest assured the meand like those used against the anti-governmental traitors will not be used again in the seen future.

We have not reached a point where we are able to announce definitively one way or another what our final stance shall be toward diplomatic relations; however, a favourable report from Lt.

Taking your latest request under consideration, the Incorporated Sarzonian Government is willing to send Lieutenant President Nicole Lewis to observe your government as a possible precursor toward our establishing diplomatic relations. Our stance on diplomatic relations with oppressive regimes has not changed; however, we are sending Lt. President Lewis with an eye toward establishing diplomatic ties due to our observation of your government from the periphery.

We have not reached a point where we are able to announce definitively one way or another what our final stance shall be toward diplomatic relations; however, a favourable report from Lt. President Lewis would result in our establishment of diplomatic relations. [OOC: Basically, Lewis can make policy when Sarzo's not available; he's probably going to be in Hamptonshire for some reason in accordance with his duties as Duke of Portshire.]


We understand. Your Lt. President is cleared to arrive in the Fatherland and inspect and conduct diplomatic relations. You Lt. President will live in the Presidental Palace to begin discussions with the president. We request the your Lt. President is escorted by your security, because we do not want to create an incident. We hope that the Fatherland may set up an embassy and begin relations with one another.

Dear Mr. Lorber

The Republic of North Saint Clair wishes to open an embassy exchange with the Incorporated States of Sarzonia. Before any decisions are made, it would be beneficial if we could recieve some details of Embassy Cove and some rules and regulations regarding the establishment of the embassy, staff, guards and transportation.

The president smiled across his desk at his predecessor in office.

"I'm so happy you've agreed to meet with me, Jim."

"Well, you know, got nothing else to do these days. Except play golf. Nancy really hated my golfing habit." He sipped the drink he was holding.

"Yes, I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Grady ...."

"What, about her being elected governor of our state and immediately banishing me? She always was paranoid and vindictive."

"Well, you shouldn't have humiliated her like that on national television."

"That skank Barbara Walters came on to me during that live interview!"

The current president cleared his throat. "Well, I'm glad you came; we haven't had much chance to talk since that nuclear-armed space shuttle ... erm, incident ... during your presidency."

A sad look crossed Jim's face. "Yeah, who'd've thought it would have crash-landed into the Moon like that?"

"And destroy a substantial part of it?"

"The Man in the Moon just hasn't looked the same since."

"An enormous crater in your nose will do that."

"Yeah." Another sip.

"I was happy you managed to avoid impeachment charges."

"I know. Turned out pleading insanity was the perfect defense."

"Yes, it was. Now, for why I brought you here today. ... There's an ambassador post opening up in ..."

The former president's face suddenly lit up. "... in Cheratzabad? Oh, that would be perfect! I was so involved in the peace process during my presidency! I know all the key players!"

"Umm, Jim, Cheratzabad was nuked into oblivion during your last year in office."

Jim's face seemed to deflate. "Oh. I was wondering why President Mackowskiajckwyzat wasn't returning my calls."

"But there's an equally important position opening up in ..." (the president paused to confirm the name of the nation in the briefing notes before him) "... Sarzonia."

Jim was disappointed. "Never heard of it."

"We never had diplomatic relations with them before. But thanks to you, all that will change!"

The former president was somewhat satisfied by that answer. "Very well, sir. It will be an honor to serve. Can I take the State Department's gorgeous 'Hospitality' Czar with me?"

"No."

A small garrison of guards, an unarmed transport vehicle and two transport helicopters can be housed inside the embassy with no difficulties. Residences for your embassy personnel shall be taken care of.

A lengthened flag pole will not be provided by the host nation and should be obtained by the embassy staff if desired. Poleski has a small but productive flag pole industry, so this should not arouse any difficulties.

Subject: Information requested

The Incorporated Sarzonian Government makes it their custom to ask the governments of countries with whom they establish diplomatic relations to provide our diplomatic and consular staffs with legal and cultural information that would help our representatives in your country better understand the people they will be working with and stand a better chance of avoiding misunderstandings caused by legal or cultural ignorance.

We would be more than willing to provide you additional consulates in other major cities in Sarzonia. Our most prominent cities outside of Woodstock are Portland, the city many of us in Sarzonia view as the nation's financial capital; Nicksia, Sarzonia's largest city and cultural capital; Portsmouth; Tacoma; Avalon; and Wilmington.

Our President and Lieutenant President have expressed interest in taking a holiday in your area and are grateful at your invitation. The President has said he has a personal "soft spot" for Thurgood Marshall Airport, though he insists on calling it BWI. Then again, he still refers to Reagan National Airport as National Airport. He's weird like that.

To Mark Lorber -

Our legal system is essentially similar to that found in the former US, although privacy rights are greater, gun laws are a bit stricter, and smoking is banned in most restaurants (if you are in Delaware or NoVa, then no, but otherwise, a ban is in effect). We have no legal constitution, although we intend - in the distant future, when we have the strength to make our view a reality - to reestablish the US and its Constitution. We do have a 'Provisional Governmental Structural Document' that provides the same basic rights that the Constitution did, but within a parliamentary system.

Culturally, we're fairly moderate, although we can be a bit rude at times, especialy given the commonly held view in our nation that we are the United States, not merely a small part that no longer even maintains the old system of government.

We are providing your embassy's staff with diplomatic immunity for misdemeanor offences; felony offences are the standard ones (murder, rape, espionage, grand theft, etc). We will also provide your diplomatic team with a more thorough guide to our nation, its customs, its laws, and its culture.

Thank you for arranging the consulates for us.
