Progress was going well with respect to settling the new Earth. Strongholds had been chosen, farmlands cleared, industrial sectors designated, and so on and so forth.
So it came as a small surprise one day when one of Cassius' retainers hustled in with a rather worried expression on his face.
"Sir! Sir, I just realized something that we missed."
"What do you mean? We've gotten the infrastructure and personnel organized, expansion plans set up, hell we've even got breeding programs going to make up for our loss from the Guffingford nukes before we got the hell out."
"Embassies, sir."
"What do you mean?"
"We have embassies in a whole bunch of countries on the planet we left, and all of those countries just happen to have embassies with us!"
"Oh. Yeah, I could see where that might be a problem. Might be somewhat disturbing to the foreign embassies here that they can't contact their homeland anymore... heck, there IS no homeland for them, anymore. Might be a tad upsetting."
"What are we going to do about them, sir?"
"Nothing we CAN do at the moment. If we go back, Guffingford will likely take that as an intergalactic F-U and send more missiles at us."

/ooc now, I'm having trouble remembering who all has embassies in Godular, so I'll try to list what I can. Nevertheless, some diplomats of Modern Tech nations are kinda stranded on a nigh-empty planet.
Countries that we have diplomatic relations with, That I can remember for certain:
Euroslavia
Imported_ViZion
Upper Xen
Countries that I Think we have diplomatic relations with:
Exetonia Minor
Camel Eaters
Apollina
Several other countries I can't remember off hand.
Nevertheless, there is an issue. We are in a currently unreachable corner of the interdimensional medium, with several diplomats that at the present time have no way to get home, or even contact their respective homelands.
Doubtless some of the embassadors will be rather miffed at current circumstances.
