To this extent, the Schultarian Government has earmarked approximately 165 billion dollars annually for the expressed purposes of constructing embassies and consulates for foreign nations.
"For too long we have isolated ourselves from the rest of the world, and I feel responsible for our precarious position," Central Director Elliot said at the signing of this newest funding allocation, "I hope that those closest to us who have been able to benefit from our friendship will take the opportunity that we are offering."
For the public's consumption, Schultaria Prime's diplomatic involvements are in the following areas:

Official Statement from the Government of Schultaria Prime
"We would like to engage in a Diplomatic exchange with the nation of Inkana, but we are confused as to an exchange of what. Schultaria Prime would be more than willing to procure the necessary space for an embassy or consulate, and would even be inclined as to devote a group of professional archivists to format a more permanent treaty, but unless we know specific details we are at a loss as to where to devote our attention.
However, we are glad that you are willing to work with the Nation of Schultaria Prime on a close diplomatic basis and we hope that it proves beneficial in the long term."
I appoligize for my previous post. Inkana would like an embassy exchange with it's NATO ally, Schulraria Prime.

The Dominion of Greenmanbry would like to establish an embassy in Schultaria Prime, as well as a consulate in another city of the great United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime. We hope this move will further strengthen the bonds of friendship that tie the Dominion to our ally and friend.
We shall comply with any rules you plan to set for both the embassy and the consulate, and would like to thank Central Director Elliot Schultz for this oppurtunity.

To all interested Nations who have a current interest United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime
Schultaria Prime would like to thank each and every country who has inquired about establishing a more permanent diplomatic presence. The government is very eager to work closely with those who have already contacted us, and we hope that this is the beginning of a peaceful global friendship.
To make the process of embassy selection smoother, we would like to present the following outline to all nations wishing to establish a sovereign embassy or consulate in our nation.
1. Embassies shall contain a minimum of approximately 3,500 square meters of space, excluding any storage for vehicles or defense equipment. As per international law, all possessions and property within these embassies shall be declared the legal right of the country currently in operation of said embassy. All registered diplomats shall have standard diplomatic immunity; however, we wish to make provisions with individual governments to prosecute diplomats in joint legal proceedings in cases of severe felony or capital crimes.
2. In preservation of our urban weapons policies, Schultaria Prime recommends no external weapons emplacements on the embassy grounds. However, protected hidden defensive measures will be allowed, in addition to a small amount of armed security staff to be approved on a per nation basis. Any usage of these weapons on structures or individuals found outside the defined embassy complex will constitute an automatic declaration of armed conflict against the Nation of Schultaria Prime in defiance international convention.
3. Each member of the embassy staff must subject to a full Schultarian biometric analysis for government archival, as well as legal, purposes. The analysis includes fingerprint, retinal, genetic, voiceprint, and thermographic scanning; this data will allow staff members to operate in Schultaria Prime without the need for external identification, since the majority of transactions in Schultaria Prime require a form of biological identity.
In addition, members of the embassy staff can also become naturalized citizens of Schultaria Prime, since the government recognizes multinational citizenship.
4. For purposes of consolidation, as well convenience, embassies are restricted to the following list of cities. However, each country can build a maximum of two embassies in the following cities.
+Schultaria Prime, Schultaria Prime (204 million residents | National Capital)
+Edgen, Schultaria Prime (147 million residents)
+Tarannu, Schultaria Prime (125 million residents)
+Myrle, Schultaria Prime (67.5 million residents)
+Padersonia, Islandia Schultaria [Schultarian Protectorate] (75 million residents | Islandian Capital)
5. All consulates shall have the same diplomatic protections as embassies, though they are expected to be no more than 2,000 square meters in office and residential space excluding any storage for vehicles or defense equipment. Each country can build a maximum of three consulates in the following cities.
+Schultaria Prime, Schultaria Prime (204 million residents | National Capital)
+Edgen, Schultaria Prime (147 million residents)
+Tarannu, Schultaria Prime (125 million residents)
+Myrle, Schultaria Prime (67.5 million residents)
+Padersonia, Islandia Schultaria [Schultarian Protectorate] (75 million residents | Capital of Islandia Schultaria)
+Dolec, Schultaria Prime (18 million residents)
+Heerllu, Schultaria Prime (16.5 million residents)
+Colloi, Schultaria Prime (12 million residents)
+Satlemai, Islandia Schultaria (14 million residents)
+Masauh, Islandia Schultaria (6 million residents)

Official Communiqué
The Commonwealth, having had good relations with the nation of Schultaria Prime, as well as a long-standing alliance, do wish to expand our diplomatic presence in Schultaria Prime, so that we may better serve both the Granzian and Schultaria people. Therefore, we would like to upgrade, per se, our consulate in the city of Edgen to embassy status, as well as establish new consulate facilities in Tarannu and Myrle, Schultaria Prime, and Padersonia, Islandia Schultaria. We hope this strengthens the bond between our two nations.

Official Vocation from the Minister of Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs
Hell, We'd love an embassy exchange with Schultaria, and a consulate in every city besides, Schultaria Prime and Edgen, which my country would love emabssies in. As there are many cities in Illior, I suggest you put your Embassy in either Illian, the capital or Gershwin: city of the rich and Famous, and of course you can build consulates in whatever of the 300 cities you wish, but that's a hell of a lot of personell. The 2 diplomats, if accepted, are Col(ret) Natalie Fataker, and Cap(ret) Ismal Millar. As security, they'll bring along 40 armed guards(M-4's, XM-8's, FA-101(an Illiorian made shotgun) are the common arms along with a Desert Eagle, although only 7 are on duty at a time, with no more than their side arms. Their main weapons shall be kept in a small barracks/Armory that also has full body armor and Helmets. In a garage, 7 APC's, Lightly armed, Shall be kept in case of a need of emergency evacuation of all staff and personell. Not included into the original blueprints shall be several safe rooms for those who can't get to their respective escape vehicles.) If you wish, you can have the same in your embassies if the previous is accepted.

To the Nation of Greenmanbry
The requests that you have made concerning your embassy defensive measures have been approved, and we are happy to permit entry for your diplomatic staff as soon as they have completed the necessary registration procedures.
In the case of any serious legal incidents concerning your diplomatic staff, the Nation of Schultaria Prime shall contact your national legal authorities within a period of no less than three hours after they have been identified as committing a serious infraction of Schultarian law; however, we don't think that this will be such a case as we consider your nation to be of the utmost trustworthiness. We hope that this is the start of a new and very viable friendship between our two nations.
To the Nation of Winselle
We agree to your defensive personnel and embassy locations, and we welcome your nation to the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime. Our nation considers peaceful diplomatic relations a far better alternative than the sword; it's comforting to know that there are nations who are willing to enter such agreements in this day and age.
In the case of any serious legal incidents concerning your diplomatic staff, the Nation of Schultaria Prime shall contact your national legal authorities within a period of no less than three hours after they have been identified as committing a serious infraction of Schultarian law; however, we hope that our authorities will never have to ask for such an authorization.
To the Nation of Phoenixius
Your nation's request for an embassy has been approved; we would like to officially welcome your nation to the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime and hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful diplomatic friendship. We shall contact you in the near future concerning a possible Schultarian embassy in Phoenixius once we have cleared the necessary authorizations for your diplomatic personnel in Schultaria Prime.
In the case of any serious legal incidents concerning your diplomatic staff, the Nation of Schultaria Prime shall contact your national legal authorities within a period of no less than three hours after they have been identified as committing a serious infraction of Schultarian law; however, we hope that our authorities will never have to ask for such an authorization.
To the Nation of Illior
While we are a bit wary about the armament on your diplomatic personnel carriers, our nation will accept the defensive measures for your embassies in Schultaria Prime and Edgen. Nonetheless, we are excited to have a good friend and mutual NATO ally establish a more permanent presence in Schultaria Prime and we hope that your nation will take this opportunity to learn about our nation in a way not very many visitors often get. We shall contact you in the near future concerning a possible Schultarian embassy in Illior once we have cleared the necessary authorizations for your diplomatic personnel in Schultaria Prime.
In the case of any serious legal incidents concerning your diplomatic staff, the Nation of Schultaria Prime shall contact your national legal authorities within a period of no less than three hours after they have been identified as committing a serious infraction of Schultarian law; however, we hope that our authorities will never have to ask for such an authorization.
To the Nation of Granzi
Consider the upgrades to your current diplomatic facilities done, and the new additions to your diplomatic presence near completion. Our government has always been pleased to work with the Nation of Granzi, and we hope that our ties will only get stronger because of this diplomatic presence. Once we have cleared the necessary authorizations for your diplomatic personnel in Schultaria Prime, we shall declare your newest diplomatic additions as fully operable.

As for leagal infractions, part of the Attache is a lawyer and his assistant, hopefully they will be able to help sort things out quickly, and for some unknown reason, Grenwal Air Is airing commercials for pretty damn cheap flights to Schultaria, and we know nothing about why they did it 8)
Minister of Foreign affairs And Diplomacy
The Dominion of Godular wishes to express its interest in a Diplomatic exchange with your great nation.
As always, we primarily wish to enter into any trade agreements through which we can acquire various raw materials such as steel and plastics, along with many materials related to superconductor research.
Space has been allocated in the Embassy district of Kentei city should you agree to the exchange.
It is important to note that we do not offer "Diplomatic Immunity" in our nation, nor do we expect such treatment within the borders of others. We will follow your laws, and we expect the same respect in return.

To the Nation of Godular
The government has approved your application for an embassy, and we welcome your nation to the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime. We hope that this will be the start of a new, highly beneficial, diplomatic cooperation between our respective entities. Once we have cleared the necessary authorizations for your diplomatic personnel in Schultaria Prime, we shall declare your embassies as fully operable.
Unfortunately we can not approve an embassy to your nation without proper assurance of our embassy staff's well being; while we would respect the consequences for major crimes such as theft, blatant violence, and murder, our nation has very little knowledge about your legal codes and resulting effects.
We have sent you a small book detailing various offenses/punishments with respect to the Dominion's Justice system. We think you'll find that we're not much different than simple common law.
Punishments are also typical, and actually work more or less on a three-strikes-esque rule, but are massively scaled up in the event of resistance against authority. Although we investigate every incidence of resisting arrest quite thoroughly to make certain that nobody was provoked into attacking.
There are some notable exceptions to typical law for us, though:
1) Freedom of Speech is considered null and void should one's position at a public establishment be used to voice controversial subject matter (see our recent incident in regards to the teacher who attempted to teach creationism in an elementary science class, WE ASKED HIM NICELY TO STOP, BUT NOOOOOO...). Clear and present danger rule, effectively.
2) Smoking/drinking/drug use are prohibited in many public areas, and home use is allowed only in moderation. Addiction is dealt with harshly.
We do not expect these issues to come up in regards to your diplomats however, so no worries.

I'm quite surprised that you haven't noticed our newest exploration of the frontiers of orbital spaceflight; over two weeks ago we launched our three Cosmonauts into medium Earth orbit and they have established quite a few "firsts" for our nation. If you would like to have a permanent indigenous Schultarian Presence on Arêtê, I suggest tracking the old Spaten satellite. Given how much they've enjoyed their time serving as pioneers in Schultarian spaceflight, I'm sure that at least one of them would love to spend some extended time as official representative of the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime."

Ab-shalom and greetings,
It is the desire of the Sultanate of Vastiva to open and maintain strong diplomatic and economic relations with all NATO and TAPRES members. We therefore offer an exchange of embassies and ambassadors, and a beginning of free trade between our nations.
His Magnificence, The Sultan of Vastiva, has directed that one acre of land be put aside in Sisu Vaari, our capital city, for your usage in building an embassy. We would forewarn you that our land is known for its bitterly cold winters. If our local experts can be of assistance in design or building, they will be made available to you with haste. Local materials will also be made available to you. Further, our Sultan has directed the construction of Weyker dome over the property, to properly protect from the elements. This technology will allow you to control the climate within the dome proper to fit any requirements you may have.
We make no guarantees of the conditions outside the dome.
It is our sincere desire that this be the beginning of a long and mutually advantageous relationship between our nations.
Go in Peace,
Namaste,
Raahmid Javani
Grand Vizier,
Humble Servant of His Magnificence, The Sultan of Vastiva
