Official Pacitalian Government Statement
We'd be most delighted to exchange embassies with your flourishing nation. Our Muslim population is around 700,000 people out of 1.63 billion and we treat Islam as we would treat any other religion - with respect and admiration, despite our "Westernist" nature.
I sincerely hope that you will consider our offer and hope that the ties between our two nations grow.

Official Statement from the Islamic Republic of Malgeria
The Islamic Republic of Malgeria sends her greetings to you. It is good to see a fellow follower of the everlasting in a world of infidels who would corrupt us and drive us from our path. We would be very much interested in establishing ties with you in the form of an embassy exchange, and possible alliance.
Grand Imam Abdul Bari,

To this end, requests for embassy trading will be considered. The restrictions are as follows for embassies within the Constitutional Monarchy of al-Kabah:
His Omniferocity's government is willing to discuss normailization of relations between our two nations. EOE diplomatic regulations are described below:
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=352755
The Dominion is willing to exchange Embassies with any nation which agrees to these terms as a minimum.
1.) Embassies shall maintain no more than twenty armmed personnel on embassy soil.
This will not be a problem, as the standard EOE Diplomatic Security contingent is no more than that.
2.) When traveling off embassy soil, all personnel are subject to the same laws and regulations as a citizen of al-Kabah.
This is unacceptable. The Dominion grants extraterritorial status to foreign Ambassadors and up to five additional personnel chosen by the foreign Ambassador. This means that the persons and property of extraterritorial personnel are considered to be physically sovereign territory. If an Ambassador violates local law, the host government may expel the offending diplomat (and the entire Embassy, if desired), but may not arrest him/her. Extraterritoriality means that persons so protected are not subject to loacl jurisdiction. Ever.
3.) No more than five armed personnel may travel off embassy soil at a time.
Since the Dominion prohibits any foreign personnel to bear arms outside the Embassy, we consider this to be eminently fair and reasonable.
4.) Further restrictions may at any time be placed upon embassy personnel depending on political climate.
Providing any new regulations are no more restrictive than those enumerated in the Dominion's diplmatic regulations, this is acceptable. It is of utmost importance that your government recognize the concept of extraterritorialty for the Embassy and Staff (Ambassador and five others by Dominion rules).
If the Al-Kabah government agrees to diplomatic regulations no more restrictive than those of the Dominion, then His Omniferocity's government is willing to exchange diplomatic personnel and Embassies.

The honored King Mahir sends his warmest regards to all those nations to respond to our call for international relations. We would like to thank the Pacitalian Government for its offer of embassy exchange and wish to continue forward with this exchange as soon as possible. As our opening onto the world stage is relatively new, our embassy buildings are still under construction. However, a charming building, fully furnished and set near the city square of the capitol are soon to be awaiting your able diplomats. To the honored people of the Islamic Republic of Malgeria, we extend our hand in our mutual faith in Allah. As we stated prior, our embassies are under construction and will soon be awaiting your diplomats. We look forward to further ties developing between our peoples. To the highly respected Dominion of the Evil Overlord: while we rarely change our government procedures, in this case we are willing to make an exception. Five members of your diplomatic team in al-Kabah will be granted extraterritorial status. In honor of these, our first diplomatic relations, we grant such a concession to all the above nations. And last, but certainly not least, Alexonium, we await your exchange student.

To Hobbeebia:
We would be happy to open an embassy in Hobbeebia and will gladly provide you the space in al-Kabah.
To all above nations:
The Constitutional Monarchy of al-Kabah is proud to announce that the embassy buildings are nearly completely and encourage all accepted nations to prepare their ambassadors for our exchange.

Prince Habashir,

His Omniferocity's government is honored by your government's gracious response, and pleased to be invited to establish an Embassy in Al-Kabah. Ambassador Rashid al-Haroun and his staff will arrive by commercial airliner within 36 hours to present his credentials to your government. The Ambassador will be accompanied by Jerik Mayne (Charge d'Affairs, Department of Foreign Affairs), Shinoyu Aoki (Department of Economic Penetration), Vasily Bondurev (Department of Information), Henri Dulac (Ministry of Science and Technology), and Colonel John Mugabe (Department of Aggression). all of these personnel have been chosen by the Ambassador to be covered by extraterritoriality. If any or all of these persons are not acceptable to your government, they will return to the Dominion forthwith, and new personnel will be sent to replace them.
Ambassador al-Haroun will also be accompanied by 10 members of the EOE Internal Security Department. These personnel will be unarmed upon arrival. All personal weapons (restricted to standard Intruder battle rifles) will be cased and held in the aircraft's hold until inspected by your government's customs inspectors and delivered to whatever facility your government has chosen for a temporary Residence until a proper Embassy can be constructed. To avoid disturbing the tranquility of your nation, no EOE personnel will carry weapons outside the Embassy, despite your government's generous permission to do so.
Space has been set aside in FreePort on Amida Island for an Embassy from your Kingdom to the Dominion, to be established at your convenience.

<OOC>
Aside from standard anti-intrusion electronics (which your people may examine) permitted by the Diplomatic Agreement, no EOE personnel will be carrying anything unusual. The Intruder battle rifles are not very unusual (11.5mm selective fire rifles with 50-round drum magazines. Ammo is composite blended metal- no explosive or incendiary rounds). The remainder of the security team's gear consists largely of their Jaguar body armor, which is likewise unremarkable. Let me know if you have any questions.

The Nation of Kroando is interested in setting up an embassy exchange program with your fine country. We are not a Muslim, or Arabic nation, but we do wish to set up relations with as many nations as possible. Kroando is completely funded, and nearly ruled by several large corperations, such as the Davex Corporation. Our people are eager to set up trade agreements, as well as political ties. Thank you for your time.
~Jonothan Caeser, President of Kroando~
Greetings,
The National Assembly of the Republic of Ayaddha will be happy to organize an embassy as well as to grant the Constitutional Monarchy of Al-Kabah the right to establish a similar embassy within our capitol. Naming an ambassador will take a few days, as the National Assembly is currently debating changes to our tax code.
As you are an Eastern Pacific nation (we are located in the Western Pacific), we would greatly appreciate both cultural exchange and the promotion of tourism. We note that your key industries are in Information Technology and Furniture Restoration; our key industry of Book Publishing would seem so suggest the possibility of fruitful trade ties as well.
Details of our embassy will follow within a few days.
Peace be unto you!
Assalamu Alaikum my brothers! The Holy Islamic Caliphate of Ismira would love to have a full embassy exchange with your great nation. We would like to have a Mosque/scholar exchange with your nation as well, as we think it is important to learn other types and teachings of Islam. We invite you to send Imams, Shaykhs, Mullahs, Ayotollahs, and any other teachers of Islam to teach in our great Ismira University. We are proud to see that another nation has risen up against the western kaffirs, and formed an Islamic nation. We look forward to our continuing relations.
In the name of Allah,
Caliph Muhammed bin Bashir
The Federal Republic of Canada will accept diplomatic relations with the Constitutional Monarchy of Al-Kabah, if the government-in-power apologizes for Islamic Fundamentalism that has used forms of terrorism against the Canadian Republic in the past. It is in our domestic constitution to respect and give freedom to our peoples to practice any faith and/or religion they believe in.
We apologize for placing these policies to your nation and we understand that you may of not had any connections to these forms of terror.
Secretary Darren Temple, State Secretary
State Department, Federal Republic of Canada
To my brothers in al-Kabah:
You do not have to apologise ofr anything. Your nation has not done anything worng. Tell these kaffirs that all of Islam does not have to apologise for the acts of fanatics.

The honored King Mahir offers his most cordial greetings to all. First and foremost, a note to the Dominion of the Evil Overlord. When your highly esteemed ambassadors shall land at Sarsaresh National Airport, they will be greeted personally by the king and his entourage. From here, we have a short bus tour of the capitol city planned for your people and last minute preparations are made for suites in our most prestigious hotel. This, of course, is only temporary, until our embassies are fully completed and furnished.
To Kroando, Ayaddha, and Ismira, we would be most pleased to have your honored diplomats further strengthen the ties between our peoples. Prince Kuladiy, Economics Minister, is certain trade between Kroando, Ayaddha, and ourselves will provide a grand upswing in all of our economies. And to Ismira, several Mullahs from throughout the country have voiced interest at the prospect of such an exchange program. We look forward to implementing it.
To the Federal Republic of Canada:
Friends, you put us in a difficult position. We offer our heartfelt sorrows that such attacks have harmed your people in the past. Furthermore, we would like to make it completely clear that the Constitutional Monarchy of al-Kabah had no part in any such attacks, nor believe in sponsoring such attacks. However, we do not feel we are in a position to apologize for the whole of a religion. We assure you we feel a great deal of sorrow for these grievous offenses against you, but hope you recognize such and apology would be tantamount to asking your people to apologize for the Crusades.

To His Majesty The Honored King Mahir,
Warm greetings from the Confederacy of Codian States-
We are delighted at the diplomatic, cultural, and economic opportunities that the exchange of embassies with your great nation may provide. The Confederacy of Codian States respectfully requests the following terms to accompany an exchange of embassies:
- Limit of fifty armed personnel
- Extraterritorial status granted to embassy (including nonmilitary personnel), chancery, and ambassadorial residence
We in turn will grant your embassy our standard diplomatic privileges including extraterritorial status to all personnel. As always, we understand concern associated with this status and assure that our diplomatic representatives and their respective entourage not only are subject to thorough background checks and screenings, but that they are constantly evaluated, hand-picked, and groomed to respectfully co-exist in their country of station while representing their own.
We look forward to your affirmative reply, and the mutual benefit that our cooperation will herald.
Sincerely,
Lulu Hirandan
Codian Foreign Minister

In a small change of foreign policy, Guerrillistan would like to establish an embassy within al-Kabah.
Guerrillistan sees this as a first step in a new global foreign policy and establishing links with other Muslim nations.
Restrictions demanded by you will be met and Guerrillistan looks forward to new links being made.

The Dominion completely supports the government of Al-Kabah on this issue. It is the position of His Omniferocity's government that no nation, of any religious or political persuasion, be required to answer for actions taken by others. Al-Kabah has not been proven- or even accused- of complicity in the actions of which you speak. To demand an apology is insulting at best.

We are proud to announce that the embassy buildings along Sarsaresh Square have been completed and provided with the finest Kabaheen furniture in all the country. This may of course be removed free of charge, should the residents prefer a more native feel for their personal embassy. Furthermore, for your convenience, kitchens have been included in the lower level of the embassy, should the ambassadors or their guests desire personally catered food. We assure all that these are but the finest Kabaheen chefs, well-versed in a vast array of international dishes.
As King Mahir has always been a firm believer in giving the utmost respect where it is due, the Constitutional Monarchy of al-Kabah would like to thank the Dominion of the Evil Overlord for their support in the issue concerning islamic sponsored terrorism.
To our friends in Guerrillistan, we would be happy to provide embassy space for your people and are proud to be part of this grand change in foreign policy. To the Confederacy of Codian States, we would be most honored to have you join the other embassies in al-Kabah. However, we ask a slight reconsideration in terms of exchange. As we have noted previously, al-Kabah, though strong in faith and determination, is still small in number. At least for the present, we would ask a limit of no more than twenty guards present in the embassy building. We assure you that Kabaheen guards will be monitoring Sarsaresh Square at all times and interceptors make regular defensive grids over the capitol. We would also ask you consider the same terms as were given to the Dominion of the Evil Overlord in terms of extraterritorial status. As mentioned just prior, these restrictions may indeed fall as al-Kabah grows in strength and number.
We eagerly await the response of the Federal Republic of Canada in terms of diplomatic exchange.
The Federal Republic of Canada accepts your apology to our people for the terror attacks that have effected our people to a great deal. From the hostage taking of the First Lady and the First Daughter and their murder, to the unsuccessful assassination attempt on President Wittrock, to the nuclear attack on our former Capital of Calgary to the bombing of a biological/chemical transport in the harbour in the Greater Vancouver area, to the bombing of the CFNS Richmond in the Persian Gulf.
We understand that you cannot apologize for all Muslims, Shi'ite to Sunni, Extremist to Moderate for these terror attacks and nor can we apologize for the Crusades, centuries ago.
The Federal Republic of Canada will be interested in setting up trade routes and an exchange of a diplomatic delegation. Al-Kabah is also invited to be the first muslim nation to join the Canadian Commonwealth (OOC: Please telegram me for thread via NS site).
Hopefully, we'll here from you soon.
