If you roleplay elves, magic, demons, sentient walruses, etc, there's probably little point in paying attention to this thread. The same holds true for ubertech space nations and the like. Some close approximation of RL modern tech is required. If your nation's leader is a demigod who rules sub-saharan Africa, for example, there's only a minor conflict that can be glossed over (I'll roleplay as if your "demigod" is just a deranged normal human) and we can still interact.

Due to the recent successes of diplomatic missions to Granzi, Sarzonia, and Iuthia, His Omniferocity is issuing this general invitation to all nations to exchange diplomatic personnel. Be advised, however, that the Dominion's rules regarding diplomatic conduct are quite strict, and your diplomatic personnel will be restricted to the city of FreePort on Amida Island.

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.

This will help anyone wishing to roleplay extensive diplomatic and trade contact with the Dominion. Since Evil Overlord Enterprises has trade contacts across a wide swath of the planet (concentrated on the Pacific Rim nations), this implies most nations roleplaying modern tech.

If you want an Embassy in the Dominion, feel free to post the request here. Please list the number of personnel, the name of the Ambassador, and any relevant restrictions on Dominion diplomatic personnel in your country.

Nations with current Diplomatic Status agreements with the Dominion:

Armany- Ambassador Julio C. Manzana

The New Aryan State wishes to improve our (Tenuous) relations with the Evil Overlord and accepts his terms for an embassy. With his Omniferocity's permission, we shall begin construction of an embassy on Amida. Reichschancellor Holst also offers a plot of land within the diplomatic quarter of the NAS' capital, Belsin. SS patrols within the area are regular, and it is considered the safest part of the city.

The New Aryan State wishes to improve our (Tenuous) relations with the Evil Overlord and accepts his terms for an embassy.

<OOC>
You need to tell me the Ambassador's name and the size of your diplomatic staff. Remember that only the Ambassador and five Embassy personnel of his/her choosing will be granted extraterritoriality.
</OOC>

I welcome the opening of regular diplomatic relations with the New Aryan States in the name of His Omniferocity. Several sites in the Hawkridge development are available for diplomatic compounds. The three largest sites on top of Hawk Ridge have already been placed at the disposal of Granzi, Iuthia, and Sarzonia, but there are several sites slightly smaller closer to Kanaka Boulevard. Please have your initial site team include several engineers and architects.

There are five contractors in FreePort who can build the Embassy for you, or you may bring in your own building team (who will have to use locally-available equipment). Construction materials may be procured locally (provided by Evil Overlord Enterprises) or shipped in (at your expense).

In the interim, the top floor of the Hamilton Arms hotel in Freeport has been reserved for your site team and will be granted Embassy status until the actual Embassy has been constructed. Tranh Minh from the Department of Foreign Affairs will meet your party at FreePort International Airport, and is at your service until your temporary quarters meet with your approval.

I, the leader of the Empire of DuHaru, relay interest in establishing an embassy in the Evil Overlord territory for reasons of trade and future diplomacy. My ambassador, Tril Sym, along with 4 bodyguards/negotiators (to be considered Extraterritorial), will move in and oversee construction of the embassy. Other personell assigned will be a small faction of 10 trade advisors, a group of 10 police units armed with standard .357 magnums and 9 mm uzis, 3 intel specialists, 4 communications operators, and a group of 5-20 on-site ensigns, which will be transferred on a monthly basis.

Also temporarily assigned there will be a group of 45 construction workers, including the supervisors and engineers, 5 of which will be permanently staying in case of building collapse and maintanance.

If any of these terms do not meet with your standards, please give me notice and I will amend them to your liking.

Also, I would like to add that two armored vans be accompanying the embassy in cases of diplomatic meetings.

My personal apologies to his Omniferocity for not previously including the details of our diplomatic staff, they are as follows:

Ambassador Arthur Hansen,
Hansen's Secretary,
Three Various Assistants,
One Porter.

10 NAS Stormtroopers (Armed with H&K UMP .45in Submachineguns) for the personal safety of Ambassador Hansen and his staff.

2 Engineers
30-Strong building crew
Plans have already been laid out so architect is not required.

OOC: Actually, you may want to note that these things started out some time ago... Euroslavia's (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=313397) was the first followed by my own thread based on his... back in February. Since then a trickle of nations have copied the format. Though it seems like TEO has gone for his own format, seeing as the document he's using is actually older then the entire concept of an embassy thread.

*cough* I've been playing this for too long.

TEO: Silly thing really... but I've never actually gone and set up anything such as an embassy exchange with your nation, when you re-posted the contract I copied from you originally I didn't reply because it kinda confused me as to what you wanted... I'm prepared to IC sign that contract and you know the same thing will pretty much be applied to your own diplomats...

but meh, no worries... sorry about the confusion...

OOC: Yah but I wasnt founded then so what can you expect?

No problem. Just tell me the name of the Ambassador and the total staff.

For everyone's information, I'll list the Ambassador next to each nation in the original post as I get them. Figure on three days real time for construction, then the embassy is ready for operation. You can hire locals to work in the Embassy if you want, but I'll understand if you don't want to.

His Omniferocity's government welcomes the offer of a Diplomatic Status Agreement from the government of Tom Joad. Temporary quarters are available in the old Megalaff Marine Services office complex near the EOE Navy base. There are three buildings within the walled compound, and the entire complex is at your disposal.

Security personnel may only bring in light weapons- no crew-served weapons are permitted. Note that your security personnel may not carry weapons outside the Embassy area.

All packages and equipment brought into the Dominion will be examined in detail by Internal Security personnel in the presence of your Embassy security staff. All electronic devices brought in must have their function demonstrated to the IS personnel before it will be allowed. Anything brought in the Diplomatic Pouch will not be searched beyond standard electronic scanning which will not require opening the Pouch.

There are no restrictions beyond the commonplace exclusion of weapons of mass destruction, biologically-viable agents, etc. There are no drug laws in the Dominion. If you practice any particular religion, that is entirely your business, so long as you do not break Dominion Law outside the Embassy. Human sacrifice within the Embassy- for example- is none of the Dominion's concern unless the sacrificees are EOE citizen/shareholders.

IS Captain Ransay Singh and Diplomatic Service Liaison Tamara Bowdoin will meet Ambassador Porter and his staff at the airport and escort them to the temporary Embassy facility.

His Omniferocity looks forward to a profitable and peaceful relationship with the government of Tom Joad.

ooc: I noticed that you mentioned that "ubertech" nations need not apply. Is this an ironclad rule, or simply to avoid certain problems? Although I don't currently RP with you, I'd like to keep the option open. While I consider myself to be "ubertech", I like to RP on a sliding scale. That is to say, when I deal with other RPers, I try to RP on their tech level. Ie, instead of making landfall in a shuttlecraft from an orbiting mothership, a diplomat would discretely ride in on a standard (again, level relative) jet. Or, in another case I actually did RP, a modern tech nation was engaged with an "underfunded" police force using "old" equipment as part of a "training exercise".

The Foreign Commissary will relay such restrictions to all personnel involved, any electronic equipment will be demonstrated to IS officials, although in regards to portable encryption devices limited scrutiny will only be allowed, Such is the sensitive nature of such equipment and the information its purpose is to protect from unintended observers.

Our staff, as listed previously, shall be making arrangements to enter TOE with due haste and shall exchange a brief dossier of national information deemed both suitable and necessary to profitable relations.
We of The Foreign Commissary and the nation of Tom Joad as a whole reciprocate the sentiments expressed so far, we trust that they can only lead to greater dealings.

<OOC>
I like to stay relatively free form on this subject with the following limitations.

Elves, magic, man-portable energy weapons, fusion power plants, etc do not exist in my universe. This has not prevented me from role-playing with Tersanctus, whose ruler is the living avatar of a dragon-god. I just ignored that- for the most part- and rationalized the rest by mentioning IC that 'Edmund was off playing God'.

Any substantive role-playing will have to be on my level. FTL spacecraft, non-reaction engine spacecraft, matter-transmitters, artificial intelligence, etc, are all things that happen in the future.

For purposes of a purely diplomatic RP, it doesn't really matter what tech level you are. Trade, war, and the rest of the more common role-playing opportunities need to be relatively close to RL modern technology. If you are a nation of Elves (or Orcs, trolls, sentient walruses, whatever) using modern technology, we can interact so long as there is no "racial benefit" from being an Elf/Orc/Troll/Walrus and I can simply say that your population are all convinced that they belong to some older/greater/wiser/uglier race. If you have Elves and insist on having pointed ears, then I'd have to say that it was the result of nation-wide plastic surgery due to a curious local religious belief.

So long as there is no "game effect" from your nation's tech level/race/religion/whatever, there's no real issue.

For encryption equipment, a non-invasive visual examination, external electronic scan, and simple plug-in-and-turn-on demonstration will be sufficient for IS personnel to determine that the device is what it is claimed to be. No actual performance demonstration is required, as this would obviate thepurpose of the equipment. It would behoove you to remove all the software for the equipment bring the software in via the Diplomatic Pouch to ensure security of the system.

Note that any devices displaying the electronic characteristics of explosives will not be permitted, so any self-destruction equipment will also have to come in via Diplomatic Pouch.

Please advise Captain Singh and Ms. Bowdoin if there is anything Evil Overlord Enterprises can do to assist your government.

The Iuthian Ambassidor to TEO is Ambassidor Garin Lambrick.

We are grateful that such a simple matter has been cleared up so quickly, your advise is noteworthy and will most likely be acted upon. Any concerns that may arise you may rest assured Captain Singh and Ms. Bowdoin will be alerted to them as appropriate.
One final matter, which although clear in our minds we wish to simply confirm with yourselves, should an electronic device be placed in the diplomatic pouch and then detected upon inspection will the option to open the pouch in a closed environment be made available or will the pouch be refused entry?

Excellent question.
</OOC>

It is His Omniferocity's position that the Diplomatic Pouch is inviolate. Electronics which can fit within a standard briefcase are unlikely to be weapons of mass destruction or similar objects restricted from entry. A more thorough electronic scan may be required- still without breaching the integrity of the Pouch and in the presence of Embassy security personnel- if the device is completely unfamiliar to IS screeners. The Department of External Affairs may request an explanation from the Embassy, but the Pouch will not be opened without the Ambassador's approval.

<OOC>
Generally speaking, anything that can fit in the pouch is your business. IS may ask a lot of questions, but you're not required to answer or explain. I assume you're planning on bringing in electronic security devices of various sorts, but that's your business too.

TG me if you want a breakdown of the massive security apparatus in the Dominion.

The Borderlands of Eaghlean humbly requests permission to establish an Embassy on your soil. If request is accepted, Eaghlean will provide its own architects, engineers, constructionworkers, and staff to populate the Embassy.
The revered Ambassador Vorl Lott will be accompanied with an escort of 4 members of the Special Group Elite. This is neccesary due to shortage of staff specialized in diplomatic matters, since members of the Special Group Elite are trained in combat, yet are also schooled in diplomatic areas. There will be no need for a policing force, for it is in trusting nature that we, the Emporor of Eaghlean, wish to establish this Embassy. But, if any problems should arise (burglary, attempted murder,...) the members of Special Group Elite should more than suffice to deal with any threat. We humbly ask for a costruction site large enough to build our Embassy, which will messure approx. 300 m².

With the utmost respect, The Emporor of Eaghlean

Specifics:
- Ambassador: Vorl Lott
- Special Group Elite: 4 members (names will be disclosed when confirmation is received, security reasons)
- Construction crew: 50 men/women
- Diplomatic staff: will be enriched with actual Advisors, Secretaries, Trading-operatives,... as soon as possible.
- Materials will be purchased on Evil Overlord soil, post-negotiation.

OOC: if it was my intention en the future, to bring in special op members, for military purposes (infiltration, espionage,...), i will be required to announce this?

if i'm to do this, and i RP it in substancial amount, will you RP along , meaning that you would allow espionage.
example: i infiltrate your main government building. do you ignore me or do you acknowledge it and allow me to aqcuire sensitive materials about your current state of affairs.

this does not mea nthat i will not be a part of the thread anymore, it only means to clarify for me if i can spice it up a little (for my or everybody's benefit).

please do not disallow me from entering your domain, just because i'm a sneaky bastard who loves stealth games, and wishes to implement his skills in other areas.

sincerely yours, Eaghlean

Getting them in to Amida Island is no great feat, since it is a tourist destination- assuming you didn't just bring them in as Embassy security. Getting anywhere else will take a bit of work. I'll TG you some details of the general security apparatus in the Dominion. If you want to try and breach the Dominion's security, we'll roleplay it out. Please make sure you carefully read the rules of the Diplomatic Status Agreement (first post in this thread) and keep them in mind.

TEO

<OOC>
Since a couple of people have expressed an interest, I will post some general information on EOE security this afternoon. Please note that the Dominion's security is very tough, but not unbeatable. Well thought out and roleplayed attempts to defeat Internal Security are welcome.

TEO

Entry to the Dominion.

The Dominion of the Evil Overlord is located on the continent of Forlorn Hope- in the central and south Pacific Ocean. All traffic into the Dominion must enter through FreePort on Amida Island- at the southwest corner of the continent. Even goods and passengers from the other countries in Forlorn Hope must enter the Dominion this way.

All foreigners are subjected to a rigorous security screening on arrival at Amida Island. FreePort is an "open city" by Dominion standards- laws for citizens are relaxed somewhat, and the entire city is designed as a tourist attraction for foreigners and vacationing citizen/shareholders.

No government offices exist in FreePort beyond the Port Authority (run by Dark Torch Marine Services) and the IS Command post at the airport. All government work is done in the city of Amida- 30 kilometers away by train. The only way to get around is by the ubiquitous public transport or walking.
This is because there are many roads, but no civilian ground transportation. Every vehicle on every road is a military vehicle. Military vehicle patrols are ubiquitous and heavily armed. The soldiers manning these vehicles are required to shoot any non-military persons found on or near the roads, and have extra ammunition allotted for this purpose.

Computer monitored cameras and RFID sensors are everwhere (except inside private homes and hotel rooms-as far as anyone knows). Hidden cameras are everywhere, watching everything, and citizens are bar-coded at birth and have bio-electric passive RFID chips grafted to their mastoid that allows everyone to be monitored by computers.

Since everyone is watched and electronically tagged, no one carries any actual money. All purchases are completed electronically. The chips do not emit anything unless activated by an RFID sensor in shops, public transportation, etc. Visitors are given RFID wristbands or necklaces that allow them to purchase goods and services in FreePort by directly withdrawing funds from their bank. No door in FreePort will open without these devices, and anyone seen by the cameras without a corresponding (and matching) RFID signature will be detected within minutes.

Internal Security has the same budget, number of personnel, and equipment as the regular military. IS personnel are encouraged to believe that all foreigners are spies, and the penalty for espionage is immediate execution upon detection. Signs all over FreePort warn visitors that attempting to remove the wristband, leave the city, or avoid detection by security devices constitutes de facto evidence of espionage- with the appropriate penalties.

All of the many public transportation systems are guarded by a great many professionally paranoid people with guns and instructions to use them. Unauthorized people trying to board out-of-town transport are assumed to be spies, and spies are immediately shot- their bodies are then strung up from lampposts to rot. The Dominion has a lot of lampposts.

Every bit of land in the Dominion is monitored by ground sensors, airborne radars, radio-frequency detectors, and several new and sensitive instruments invented just for the purpose of ensuring that anything that walks, flies, crawls, or burrows will be watched, monitored, tracked, targeted, stalked, mapped, and identified.

If one were to try to sneak out of FreePort and walk to Amida City, the first hint that a hiker has been detected by Internal Security would likely to be explosions and high-velocity projectiles projected in the hiker's general direction. This would also be the last hint, as the Evil Overlord's military machine is one of the largest and best equipped in the world, and has done little more than execute would-be trespassers for several centuries.

On the other hand, there is no crime whatsoever.

Welcome to Amida Island, gateway to the Dominion of the Evil Overlord.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Omzian Democratic Federal Republic (in the central Pacific), who had already established relations within TEO through a non-aggression treaty years before, is fully ready to bring up full diplomatic relations and establish an embassy in The Evil Overlord.. As we have already formulated a plan, we wish to submit a request to send a total of 11 construction crews (along with engineers and consultants) to construct our embassy quarters. A newly sent ambassador, Joran Borane, and 8 of his diplomatic attaches will be the permanent staff within the embassy, along with 11 other crews of various types (cleaning and kitchen staff, a translator, other management personnel). Construction material, along with various other supplies (food and other commonly used and wasted supplies) will be provided by us, though we'd like some common day-to-day supplies to be sold by the local people there. The construction personnel is prefectly able to stay within the provided temporatory area area.

Furthermore, if possible, under the Omzian Diplomatic Protection Act (Dakarie Year 41) we would like to provide additional security personnels from the Omzian Navy Marine Corps 15th Diplomatic Protection Company for security of our diplomatic personnels, as a replacement for the security units from the Omzian Interior Affairs Ministry. The officer for the group of 9 men is expected to be Lieutenant Naganrea Noran, and the security personnel will be responsible for the protection and evacuation of the lives of the diplomatic personnel in situations of emergencies with light automatic firearms of small caliber. They will not exit the Omzian Embassy area with any weapons and/or other items considered harmful to human lives. Radio receivers will also be brought in for security and comunication purposes to suit their needs. However, we request them to be treated in the same manner as normal security personnels of the embassy, as they are from a specially tasked unit from the Omzian Marine Corps, with the intent to provide security for the safety of the Omzians in the embassy.

As the request is being sent, we are eager to continue our healthy diplomatic relationships with the EOE government, and we trust that a bright future is set for us all.

Actually, we had a non-aggression treaty. I did not own Korea, but I stationed several divisions of troops along the Yalu river to prevent Mallberta from over-running all of Asia. Your troops were on the opposite side of the river, and we worked out patrol agreements and aircraft traffic patterns to avoid conflict. The Koreas were busy fighting NATO at the time, so the Dominion acted unilaterally to protect the penninsula from Mallbertan aggression. With the withdrawal of Mallberta and the development of several sovereign nations in its wake across China, my troops, planes, and ships have since departed the area.

Since you did not already have an Embassy, that would be the only change in your post.

His Omniferocity's government would be pleased to welcome the Camel Eaters delegation. Once the total size of the Camel Eaters party is known, arrangements will be made for temporary Embassy quarters in FreePort. It would be wise to refrain from bringing live animals until the permanent Embassy is fully established, as there are no provisions for live animals the size of camels in FreePort except at the zoo.

We look forward to continued relations with the government of Camel Eaters.

The Omzian delegation (led by both Ambassador Borane and Lieutenant Noran) along with the construction team will be, after these arrangments, arriving shortly by air for further business. They have been already informed of the situation and restrictions, and should problems arise, we are hopeful that they will resolve it with ease with the cooperation from TEO personnel. Plans of costruction are already formulated by the Borankaraie Constructions Corporation, so it's only a matter of time and materials before the construction is done.

The security personnel will be confortable with the restrictions and duties while the delegation is temporatorily stationed at the hotel building, and will be comfortable to serve with TEO security personnels to suit the needs of the safety of the delegation team.

Please allow us to express both our and Ambassador Borane's thanks for the opportunity, and we hope that with this milestone in our relations, further cooperation between the Omzian government and TEO could be achieve through economic and diplomatic means, and that further understandings would be achieved between the two sides for a healthy relationship.

Dominion diplomatic personnel may build an embassy in Hienkel City, but no armed secruity personnel will be allowed, with the exception of wartime.

Provided that the Great Sixth Reich is willing to agree to His Omniferocity's Diplomatic regulaions, Ambassador Dusseldorf will be welcome. Interim Residency will be established in the Van Doormann building in FreePort while the embassy is constructed.

Evil Overlord Enterprises will not establish an Embassy without a security presence. The standard EOE security detachment is 20 personnel, armed with 11.5mm Intruder battle rifles and body armor. If this is not acceptable, the Dominion will still permit the Reich's Embassy in FreePort, but it will be limited to a Consulate with a maximum of 10 personnel including the Ambassador.

Please advise the Foreign Office Department of your government's decision, and the expected arrival time of Ambassador Dusseldorf.

That's fine, but there's even less regulation. Embassy staff are allowed anywhere they want at any time, as long as they do not exceed the two-hundred mile ratius around Hienkel City and Berlin.
