In a renewed effort to improve otherwise anemic relations with the outside world, Schultaria Prime has once again opened its borders for international entities to establish diplomatic centers.

To all interested Nations who have a current interest with the 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 list. Prices listed are for pre existing high rise tenant (i.e. incomplete or partial ownership) structures and for cleared and cleaned space respectively.

+Schultaria Prime, Schultaria Prime (290 million residents | National Capital)
Tenant Costs: $10,700 per square meter | New Construction Costs: $226,000 per square meter

+Edgen, Schultaria Prime (193 million residents)
Tenant Costs: $7,175 per square meter | New Construction Costs: $198,000 per square meter

+Tarannu, Schultaria Prime (175 million residents)
Tenant Costs: $5,400 per square meter | New Construction Costs: $187,000 per square meter

+Myrle, Schultaria Prime (108 million residents)
Tenant Costs: $4,300 per square meter | New Construction Costs: $170,000 per square meter

+Padersonia, Islandia Schultaria [Schultarian Protectorate] (146 million residents | Islandian Capital)
Tenant Costs: $8,000 per square meter | New Construction Costs: $210,000 per square meter


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 (290 million residents | National Capital)
+Edgen, Schultaria Prime (193 million residents)
+Tarannu, Schultaria Prime (175 million residents)
+Myrle, Schultaria Prime (108 million residents)
+Padersonia, Islandia Schultaria [Schultarian Protectorate] (146 million residents | Capital of Islandia Schultaria)

+Dolec, Schultaria Prime (53 million residents)
+Heerllu, Schultaria Prime (36 million residents)
+Colloi, Schultaria Prime (27 million residents)

+Satlemai, Islandia Schultaria (38 million residents)
+Masauh, Islandia Schultaria (19 million residents)

To the Nation of Nebarri_Prime


The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would love to exchange embassies with your nation. However, since you did not specify a city in which you wanted to establish a more permanent presence, our government can not approve the transaction as of the present time. After all, we do not want to locate a piece of your sovereign territory in a place or a city where your diplomats might find it undesirable for your national interests. Nonetheless, we hope that this will be the start of a new, highly beneficial, diplomatic cooperation between our respective entities.

Please contact as soon as physically possible to select a location for your ambassadorial presence; as of the present time all other considerations can be considered approved between our two respective nations. Thank you once again for your time and effort.

To the Nation of Aust


We agree to your defensive personnel and embassy location, 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. Our government hopes this will be the beginning of stable relations, and we would be more than willing to exchange comparable Schultarian diplomatic representation in Aust.

The only point of contention the Schultarian Department of State has with your planned outlines is size of the consulates that you have proposed; however, the Directorate of Central National Urban Planning has assured the government that accommodations can be made to accommodate your requirements. As with all government construction projects the physical structures will be built by the State Industries of Schultaria Prime: Designwerks as per your specifications and reinforced (where needed) to satisfy existing structure and habitation codes.

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. If your nation would allow, perhaps it would be expedient of you to allow your Ambassadors and Councils the option of dual citizenship; since you have offered to possibly forego some of the benefits inherited by diplomatic immunity, the government has thought it expedient to match the disability with some measure of security.

We also thank you for your offer in establishing a sovereign diplomatic presence in your nation, and we hope that this will be a start of a new dialog between our two nations. Please contact us soon regarding any additional international agreement, and we will try and do our utmost to come to consensus.

OOC: Sorry for taking so long to respond, my mom’s computer died on Saturday, and I just got back to a functional computer.

IC:

We are enthused and glad to see the future of the Aztec National League and Schultaria Prime. This will hopefully create a lasting peace and friendship between our two nations. As soon as you may request it, land in Tenochitilán and Chitzén Itzá will be marked for the construction of the USSSP’s embassy and consulate. Since, according to ANL law, your embassies and consulates are your sovereign possessions, you may station an appropriate number of troops for defensive purposes within the compounds. However, as you may know, foreign bases are not allowed to be constructed in the ANL. We will also pursuit a similar protocol to what you have outlined if a personnel member of the ANL violates the law as well.

In regards to diplomatic treaties, we find at this early stage if we began a limited, discretionary technology and scientific trade pact. This would also entail possible future cooperation with each other’s scientific resources and joint projects. Considering our mutual interest in science and technology, this would be most beneficial.

In any case, this new relationship shall be beneficial and purposeful to both of our nations. We wish the USSSP the best of peace and prosperity…

We are thankful for the offer of equivalent diplomatic representation in your nation and we as well hope this will be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship for both of our national entities. Consider the requests issued; our Department of State as well as the Central Directorate looks forward to interacting with your government on a more individual level. As a sign of good faith and trust in your nation's stability we shall not send, nor shall we request, any defensive personnel. To quote from Central Director Schultz's personal views on assassination, "If [we] die, it's because [we] probably did something wrong policy wise. If [we] die on foreign soil, it's because [we were] blind to the world around [us]."

The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime is very interested in your considerations concerning a more permanent treaty based relationship, and we shall do our utmost to foster and facilitate international discussion and scientific cooperation. We have recently attempted to revive The Alliance of Pure Research and Engineering States, but our government now thinks it more feasible to start cooperation on a more localized level before developing any serious multinational structures. Schultaria is more than willing to listen to any offer you propose, and hopefully this dialogue will continue for years to come.

We thank the Nation of Aztec National League for their gestures, and wish them the best of peace and prosperity in the future.

The Verdant Archipelago Union is delighted by this opertunity to establish relations with Schultaria Prime, and wishes to establish embassies. There is only one potential issue; the Union is a loose confederacy of four independant city states, and as such, we are in a bit of a quandary given your limits on the number of embassies and consolates. What we would prefer is a single Union embassy in Schultaria Prime proper, and four consolates, each run by a seperate city-state, in four of your other cities.

Should this prove acceptable, we would request that the embassy be custom built, though the consolates can be purchased as one or two floors of an existing office building. The embassy would be, if possible, an relatively small 5 story building with an extencive underground complex, for asthetic and security reasons. The empty space above the subterrainian complex will be turned into a botanical garden, as a gift to the Schultarian people Of course to enter the guarden, visitors must pass through one of several security checkpoints, but we feel that peace and beauty of the garden will more than compensate them for the hassel. The total size of the lot might reasonably be between 1 and 10 hectares, depending on the price of the actual land. While embassy staff would be responcible for the security of the park and embassy, we would hire Schultarians to perform garden maintenence (after suitible background checks).

We understand that such an undertaking will have a substancial cost, and would like to mitigate it by offering Schultaria Prime and Designwerks advantagious trade agreements.

Keith Arkell, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Verdant Archipelago Union

We are very interested in a Diplomatic Exchange with your nation, and would like to purchase an embassy in Edgen or 5000 square meters, which we will construct ourselves. At a cost of $198,000 per meter, we make this to be $990,000,000. This payment will be forwarded to you pending your acceptance of our delegation.

With your permission, our delegation will consist of

1 Ambassador
1 Aide
1 Trade attaché
1 Cultural attaché
1 Defense attaché
12 General staff
10 Diplomatic Guard

We hope this proves acceptable to you.

Our Ambassador to Schultaria Prime will be Ambassador Mark Rogers. Space has been made for your embassy at 7 Embassy Square, in the capital, Manhattan. We await details concerning your Ambassador and delegations and any special requests you may have.

To the Nation of Verdant Archipelago


After closely examining your quandary, the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would be more than willing to grant your request of a unified embassy in Schultaria Prime, Schultaria Prime and commute the rules in the construction of four consulates instead of the normally limited three. As a concession, we will allow you to construct an embassy up to the size of one Schultarian city block (6.25 hectares) at a cost of $226,000 per square meter of cleared land, but limit the total number of embassies your nation can construct to one for the time being. If you feel this offer in need of negotiation, please contact us as soon as possible to refine the details for a more mutually beneficial diplomatic presence. We look forward to hearing your candidate cities for consulate and we shall prepare the necessary facilities with the utmost haste.

We advise that should you choose to build extensively below the ground line, we hope that your facility does not extend more than 150 meters below the surface. At a depth of 300 meters underneath the city of Schultaria Prime, Schultaria Prime, there is a more than likely chance your construction crews will encounter the dome supports to City Sub-Level 1. This facility is the largest underground artificial structure in the known world, supporting some 60 million residents in a very densely populated space. Of course, we shall consider the point moot at the following time until such problems might become apparent in your construction. Nonetheless we look forward to seeing your potential atrium designs and welcome them to the growing architectural heritage of our capital city.

We hope that this construction will be a start of a new dialog between our two nations and that it may prove to be mutually beneficial to both of us in the distant, as well as the immediate, future. Please contact us soon regarding any additional international agreement and we will try and do our utmost to come to consensus.

To the Nation of Manhattan Prime


We agree to your diplomatic personnel and embassy location, 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. Our government hopes this will be the beginning of stable relations, and we would be more than willing to exchange comparable Schultarian diplomatic representation in Manhattan Prime.

Given the requests you have asked of our nation, United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would be honored to establish an embassy in the capital city of Manhattan; of course, we shall defer to your government for perusal and further inquiry. If you have any specific agreements that you would like the Schultarian National Assembly to either validate or consider in the near future, please feel free to present them at your leisure.

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; such events are (quite thankfully) few and far between in the history of our nation.

We also thank you for your offer in establishing a sovereign diplomatic presence in your nation, and we hope that this will be a start of a new dialog between our two nations. Please contact us soon regarding any additional international agreement, and we will try and do our utmost to come to consensus.

Sir,

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Our diplomatic team has been dispatched to oversee the construction of our embassy, and to familiarise themselves with the surroundings they will be working closely in.

Our government takes responsibility for the costs of building/converting foreign embassies, as part of a project to attract foreign diplomats to our small and relatively new nation.

We would be honoured to welcome you to our country, and await details of your requirements and of your chosen ambassador.

Department of Foreign Relations

We appriciate your generocity in allowing our four counsulates. We request a floor or two in any reasonably sized office building in Panderson, Edgen, Tarannu, and Myrtle.

The embassy itself shoiuld not be more than 40m deep, so we forsee no conflicts with your SubUrbs. However, given the astonishing cost of real-estate in Schultaria Prime, we ask that we be permitted to rent out office space to both domestic and foreign companies. All corperations operating from the embassy will, of course, follow all appropriate Schultarian laws and codes as a courtasy... this is not an attempt to set up an offshore bank within your capitol or evade Schultarian customs, merely to mitigate the extreme cost of the land purchase.

To the Nation of Manhattan Prime


We are thankful for the offer of equivalent diplomatic representation in your nation and we as well hope this will be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship for both of our national entities. As a sign of good faith and trust in your nation's stability we shall not send, nor shall we request, any defensive personnel. To quote from Central Director Schultz's personal views on assassination, "If [we] die, it's because [we] probably did something wrong policy wise. If [we] die on foreign soil, it's because [we were] blind to the world around [us]." In addition we would find it impolite on our behalf not to assume the monetary costs for construction of our representation; we shall assume all costs for construction along with the necessary employment of local construction firms as a willingness to improve your nation's local economy.

At the present time, our chief candidate for the Schultarian ambassador to Manhattan Prime is Markus Anton Sommerville, an Economics / Political Science PhD from the University of Schultaria Prime - Schultaria Prime with a decade's worth of experience in the Schultarian Diplomatic Corps. After spending several years in the tumultuous political climate of The Burnisian Desert, he proved himself to be an adept negotiator and a valuable mediator. Unfortunately, he was drawn away from his post amidst government concerns for his personal safety. Given your nation's diplomatically foresighted international policies and stable internal climate, our nation will be assigning him to this post for the next few years as both severance and reward for his tireless efforts abroad. Should you require more information about him or any potential staff we might bring, please contact us as soon as possible.

To the Nation of Verdant Archipelago


We can understand your cause for concern regarding the cost of real estate in our capital city, but given that Schultaria Prime has a relative population density of 89,600 persons per square kilometer the cost of land for new construction projects in the Downtown forum is at a significant premium. As a concession, we will allow your embassy the ability to establish corporate presences within your sovereign territory on the following conditions. Should there be any disagreement please contact us as soon as possible.


1. Any international, non-Schultarian, corporation established in said embassy must apply and be listed in the Schultarian International Commercial Registry as an approved business entity.


2. Any international, non-Schultarian, corporation established in said embassy must adhere to all Schultarian customs and business regulations should they establish a commercial storefront facing outside of the embassy grounds (i.e. the business has an actual entryway facing a city street).


3. And international, non-Schultarian, corporation who possesses a facility of exchange (i.e. storefront) outside of the stated embassy grounds and within our national boundaries must possess and show proof of government approval and 51.5% local ownership by the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime.


4. No corporation within the embassy grounds will be allowed to serve as a repository of any form for physical and / or electronic currency. Exceptions to this rule are mediums in which international stocks can be traded for a nominal fee to be shared with the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime.

The President of Ducati Boyz wishes to open diplomatic channels with Schultaria Prime. We have a parcel of land on Embassy Row on which you could build your embassy.
Our Ambassador's name is Sir Lucian della Pomporis, of a rich and noble Ducatian family.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

President Emilio de Scungill

To the Nation of Ducati Boyz

The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would love to exchange embassies with your nation. However, since you did not specify a city in Schultaria Prime where you wanted to establish a more permanent presence, our government can not approve the transaction as of the present time. After all, we do not want to locate a piece of your sovereign territory in a place or a city where your diplomats might find it undesirable for your national interests. Nonetheless, we hope that this will be the start of a new, highly beneficial, diplomatic cooperation between our respective entities.

Please contact our State Department as soon as physically possible to select a location for your ambassadorial presence; as of the present time all other considerations can be considered approved between our two respective nations. Thank you once again for your time and effort, and we hope to hear from you quite soon.

We understand and agree to all the requirements and limitations you have placed on private businesses operating within the embassy grounds, and are pleased that you have managed to accomidate our rather odd requests.

In addition to the normal functions of the embassy, we will be installing a large number of dormatory rooms for students who wish to attend Schultarian schools as part of an exchange program, should you wish, as well as to provide beds for any Union citizens who are unable to find shelter.

The park itself will consist of a large pond that completely surrounds the main building, with benches and rowboats and children's play equipment, which will constantly be watched by an embassy employee. Most of the gardens will be perminant, though some temperary exhibits or art instilations may pass through. One of the perminant exhibits will showcase the beautiful and deadly flora of the Verdant Archipelago. Fortunately, it requires certain soil conditions unique to the Archipelago, so you need not fear contaminaitng your own wildlife. For this exhibit, a guide will be compulsory

We would, in turn, like to offer a wide variety of locations for a Schultarian embassy in the Archipelago. Any or all of our four city states of Jacksonton, Veragrad, Saxburg, and Porte au Duc.

Keith Arkell, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Verdant Archipelago Union

Thank you very much for your offer regarding the embassy costs - your genorosity speaks well of you. We propose that you order an embassy of similar cost to ours, and then we can call it quits. You would be able to have a larger land area if required, as land is cheaper in Manhattan than in the city of Edgen, due to a lower population density (our total population is currently around 70 million).

From his record, Ambassador Sommerville sounds an inspired choice and we have no trouble with any delegation you may propose - providing it's not too militant. One Diplomatic Guard delegation is enough to assign each of our diplomatic team with 2 guards, and we feel this is adequate protection for operations in a country with whom we are on friendly enough terms to propose an embassy.

To the Nation of Manhattan Prime


You may consider the embassy proposal as good as built; our chief government architects will arrive within the next few weeks to outline their plans concerning the construction of our Embassy grounds. Should there be any restrictions regarding the exact dimensions of our presence in your nation, please feel free to contact us in the near future. We hope that our physical presence in your nation will be aesthetically pleasing as well as politically and economically beneficial to your nation's interests in the near future.

If you ever wish to further pursue diplomatic relations with our nation beyond the scope of an established diplomatic presence, feel free to contact the State Department of Schultaria Prime with your requests. We are always looking to improve relations with the world around us, but as a deference of authority we'll let you dictate what courses of action you wish to take.

To the Nation of Verdant Archipelago


The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime, in an effort to be on good terms with every member state of your confederation, would prefer to construct full embassy complexes in the four city-states of Jacksonton, Veragrad, Saxburg, and Porte au Duc. Of course, we shall defer to the Verdant Archipelago Union for perusal and further inquiry into our requests. In addition, we would be more than willing to entertain treaties either in the fields of general diplomacy, policy, or trade from your nation. If you have any specific agreements that you would like the Schultarian National Assembly to either validate or consider in the near future, please feel free to present them at your leisure. We'll relish the opportunity to work with your nation on a more personal basis.

As the pursuits of education and learning are blind to all nationality and ideology, we welcome citizens of your nation into the University of Schultaria Prime System. Of course, as with any Schultarian educational institution, tuition is free to any native, naturalized, or dual resident of Schultaria Prime (provided the proper examinations have been passed), and we advise any potential students to be aware of this fact. Education in Schultaria Prime for non residents can be quite steep (in excess of $39,000 per year for some campuses), but the benefits of possessing Schultarian citizenship in a dual nationality circumstance can prove to be quite worthwhile.

We also thank you for your offer in establishing a sovereign diplomatic presence in your nation, and we hope that this will be a start of a new dialog between our two nations. Please contact us soon regarding any additional international agreement, and we will try and do our utmost to come to consensus.

Your proposal of building an embassy in each of the four citystates is applauded. While none of the governments are so petty as to take exception to being left out, appearences are appearences. Please inform us of the size of plots you intend to purchase, and we will make the nessisary arrangements. Land values are rising; though there is a great deal of uncleared land, the price of clearing it is so astronomical that physical growth of the cities is very slow. We must also require you to hire a botanist and an entymologist upon the building of your embassy. It cannot be stressed enough how dangerous the local flora and fauna are, and we would hate for your ambassador to be seriously injured by one of our wasps.

While we are rapidly industrializing, much of our economy is still a century behind, particularly in the area of cybernetics. The military and government, as well as educational facilities are well provided for, but our actual infrestructure is rather limited and personal computers are still rare. Any help you could give us in that area, as well as in medicine, we would greatly appriciate. Further, we would be interested in trade agreements. We have large sources of oil and coal, as well as large amounts of biomass that can be easily converted into paper and alcohol. While much of our wood is not lumber grade, we do have the ability to bonsai some of our slower growing and least dangerous vegetation into (high maintenence) living items. Should there be any interest in living chairs or tables, we can provide them.

Further, should any products of the Verdant Archipelago Trading Consortium attract your engineer's attention, I am certain we can come to an arrangement.

While the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would prefer to possess plots of similar area to your diplomatic presence in our capital (250 m x 250 m), we understand how prohibitive those costs may be for our State Department. Nonetheless, as a sign of good faith and willingness to invest in your local contractors our government is willing to pay up to 20 billion dollars per embassy complex. Each of these facilities would preferably be approximately 75 meters squared per floor and possess a minimum of 140,000 square meters in total floor space ; of course, we shall defer to local ordinances regarding building height restrictions in any instance where a presence of over 20 above ground stories might pose a problem.
In regards to the potential aggressiveness of your natural surroundings, your observations are noted and we shall take the time to study your native species with the utmost precision to detail in order to better understand the biosphere of your nation.

In regards to your nation's infrastructure necessities, the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime will do everything in its power to help bring your nation gradually and safely up to speed with our most recent technical advances in urban service infrastructure, general pharmaceutical medicine, and personal computation. Not only will we provide you with the physical devices in order to improve the quality of life for your residents, but we would gladly educate them for no cost in the field of safe and responsible development of these technologies; we in Schultaria Prime find it wonderfully rewarding to help create brighter futures wherever we can render assistance. At the present time our nation is virtually independent from fossilized liquid and solid fuels being as our nation is astonishingly depleted (resource wise) in such areas, but we shall entertain the concept of trading plants with exceptionally high sucrose (or similar derivative) content in exchange for our assistance in developing your infrastructure.

Please contact us soon if you have any other offers which you would like to discuss with our State Department. We look forward to hearing from your nation in the future.

While we appriciate your largese, we have no wish to gouge you. A 6 hectare plot has been aquired for the Schultarian embassies in each of the four cities. The total cost of the purchase is $15 billion. We appologise for this steep price, but the land was previoiusly owned and developed, and appropriate compensation had to be made. Please forward details of what staff you will be moving in and if there is any way we can aide you in the developement of of these projects.

We greatfully appriciate the economic and technological aide that you have promised us, and hope we will be able to reciprocate in some way.

We do have exports other than petrolium and plant products. There are undeveloped sources of bauxite on unpopulated island, veins of iron ore, and we are currently exploiting a rather large deposit of platinium. Also, our single industry that seems to be able to compete on the open market is our airshipyards. Apparently, airship development was largely abbandoned outside of the Archipelago after the 1930s, but we carried on and have a variety of extremely effective platorms that you may be interested in.

$1,130,000,000 USD will be AutoTransferred upon acceptance.

Cobdenia would be interested in establishing Diplomatic ties with Schultaria Prime, and thus would like to exchange Embassies. If you accept, we would like our embassy to be located in Schultaria Prime (the capital) and we will send Mr Jeremy Smith-Smythe-Smith as our ambassador, and your Embassy will be located at 17, Galbraith Place, Port Sir Richard. For our records, we would need to know the address of our Embassy in Schultaria Prime and the name of your proposed ambassador.
The Rt. Hon. Rory Relp MHA
Cobdenian Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

To the Nation of Cobdenia


We agree to your request for a Schultarian embassy, 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. Our government hopes this will be the beginning of stable relations, and we would be more than willing to exchange comparable Schultarian diplomatic representation in Cobdenia. As to the specific location of the embassy grounds, it is dependent on whether your nation would prefer to build a brand new facility or take residence in a preexisting high rise multipurpose structure. Given the relatively high costs for land, it is generally agreed by our State Department that if you wish easier access to the institutions of our national government it might be preferable to purchase space in an already established facility. Once you have placed your request, then our authorities will have a better time affixing a location to your grounds.

Given the requests you have asked of our nation, United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would be honored to establish an embassy in your national capital; of course, we shall defer to your government for perusal and further inquiry. Presently, the Schultarian Department of State is currently in the process of reviewing several candidates to the position of diplomat so we presently have little to no knowledge as to the name and credentials of our chief diplomat for your nation (ooc: I personally prefer nameless diplomats until actually necessary for a role play because then I don't have to cross reference eight different threads of research).

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; such events are (quite thankfully) few and far between in the history of our nation.

Cobdenia gives it's assurance that if one of our diplomats commits a serious crime (such as theft, murder, manslaughter, assault, and rape) that diplomats status will be revoked and you would be free to try him under your system, (OoC: In the new draft of the Diplomatic Immunity, the ability of the base country to revoke the immunity of one of it's diplomats abroad has been added).
As for the location of our embassy, Cobdenia is a small nation and so does not require a new independent structure for our embassy. A residence in a pre-existing high rise multipurpose structure would be perfect for our needs.

OoC: The only reason I want the name of an ambassador is for my NSWiki page, not for any RP purposes. It doesn't matter if you forget the guys name!
Or, seeing as it's only for my own files, would you mind if I made up a name?

Bump, I believe is the term...

Communication to the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime:

Greetings, Elliot Schultz.

It has recently came to my attention that our two nations do not share any kind of embassy with each other, even though we are involved in NATO and TAPRES.

I would like to rectify this issue as soon as possible, for communication and bonds of friendship must be cultivated and allowed to grow in these troubled times. We must stand united, lest nations that disagree with our ideals, or jealous of our progress and prosperity choose to take us down from our enlightened status.

In addition to this, I would very much like to initiate some kind of process to establish an alliance between our two nations that can be sustained independent of NATO and TAPRES. Sharina has long valued the friendship, support, and company of Schultaria Prime, and would very much like to maintain that bond. Should at any time in the future one of us leaves NATO and / or TAPRES, we can still remain allies.

It is my sincere and honest hope that our two nations can grow much closer, not just in name, but in friendship, camadrie, and solidarity. Nations such as ourselves who favor science, progress, and civil standards are a rare sight these days, as warmongering nations grow by the hundreds each year.

Towards this end, I am personally authorizing land to be set aside in Sharina for the establishment two Schultarian embassies. In addition, I would like to seek two embassies within Schultaria Prime, should one of Sharina's embassies be targeted by terrorists or be shut down for any reason, Sharina can still maintain effective communication and diplomacy with Schultaria Prime.

Please inform me of your thoughts upon these proposals, friend.

Live well and prosper.
~President Mina Veristek

Although our two great states have shared a friendship for some time now, the proper formalization of our budding relationship has inexplicably not yet occurred; consequently, here in Imperium we feel the time has come to rectify the situation and thereby open our borders to a Schultarian embassy and the benefits and privileges such honours bestow upon powers.

Although we recognize such formalizations require on their part established and codified documents, what follows is a comparatively informal discussion of available lands and legalities surrounding foreign diplomatic personnel within the United Kingdom.

The city of Imperium, like most others throughout the United Kingdom, exists in a state of over-development with urban sprawl now stretching not only in the horizontal direction, but vertically up in ever higher skyscrapers. However, a significant plot of land has been set aside along the city’s riverfront as the diplomatic quarters for foreign governments. The area lays within a “historical” district, and despite the extra-territoriality clauses in formal agreements, the buildings on the designated embassy plots are required to remain per the agreement. These buildings, however, do have several advantages over other non-secured sites.

Firstly, the availability of open lawn-space, something almost unheard of in the capital. With land becoming increasingly expensive, the availability of grass and trees is regarded as a luxury in the United Kingdom – and the sites within the diplomatic quarter all have ample lawns, frequently well-shaded and gardened.

In an almost tandem fashion, the buildings, remnants of the days of British colonialism, are well-decorated mansions of the former aristocracy, meaning ample space can be found not only outside the building’s walls, but within the spacious foyers, offices, and residences.

The aristocracy, of course, had extremely nice plots of land, and the mansions are situated so that they have marvelous views of the river and the distant mountains, behind which the evening sun daily sets – barring inclement weather of course.

Since all the land has been purchased by the Azazian government, the diplomatic quarters is well defended and secured by an outer perimeter and gates, limiting access to the streets thus ensuring that the elite Royal Guards maintain a safe environment for your nation’s diplomats. Of course, exactly who can be allowed to see your embassy will be dictated to the head of the Royal Guards unit on station, thus allowing your government some level of determining the safety of your territory.

Of course, such plots of land come with a price. The facilities are not equipped to handle helicopters and other aerial vehicles, nor are they equipped to handle combat vehicles. Thus any agreement would stipulate a limitation of thirty-five combat soldiers equipped only with light arms and five armoured – but unarmed – civilian-styled, automobile transports, no helicopters or such.

Per the legalities surrounding embassy exchanges, the land itself remains in the ownership of your government after signing. This of course is contingent upon the agreement not to damage the historical property – this does not include internal modifications to the structures, for say security purposes. This merely is written to preserve the aesthetics of the historic district of the city. Diplomats are granted full immunity, though the Kingdom reserves the right to expel any diplomat accused of committing a crime by Azazian law – though they shall not be charged and arraigned except by explicit permission of your government.

Concerning possible Azazian embassy grounds in your capital city, ideally we would prefer a new construction site if no single occupant buildings exist in the range of 11,000 to say 20,000 square meters. If a new construction site would be required, then we would prefer to procure a larger plot of land for the purpose of later expansion of our facilities as the friendship between our two nations grows. If that happens to be the case, a plot of land in the 100,000 square meter range would suffice. As for consulates in other cities, the embassy will provide consular services for the capital city, and when our relationship merits further expansion of our diplomatic ties we will conduct negotiations for the opening of consulates in the specified cities.

I hope I did not miss anything of importance.

Regardless, if you have any questions about anything feel free to get in touch with me through my office and I’ll see to it that your questions are answered as completely and as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,

Emily Deveraux
Minister of Foreign Affairs

One day we hope to build an Embassy in your nation, if we feel that you are a friendly nation.

To President Veristek and Minster Deveraux of the Respective Nations of Sharina and Azazia,

"Allow me first and foremost to offer my utmost regret and sincerest apologies for my State Department's lack of expedience in the matter of honoring your diplomatic requests with the Nation of Schultaria Prime. I'm afraid that the year SDC 116 will probably go down as one of the most devastating periods of Schultarian history for reasons both of you are already too well aware; as such the predominant diplomatic mission for our nation has been transformed from long-standing political and cultural alliances to short term material negotiations. Unfortunately for all of our sakes, the task of allocating and establishing new supra-national embassy facilities within our nation has taken a vastly reduced priority to securing enough foodstuffs to insure that Schultaria Prime's one thousand three hundred years without famine does not become a memory with the onset of the winter season.

If both of your offers for embassy applications are still on the table as of now, I will ensure to the utmost of my political authority that the 100,000 square meters of existing, single occupancy, ground floor space for the Nation of Azazia and the 2 requested embassy facilities for Sharina in the Capital of Schultaria Prime shall be fulfilled by the end of the business week. It is saddening that I must now do what would normally be delegated to the nation's corps of diplomats, but in light of the nations whom I'm corresponding with it will be an utmost pleasure to secure the necessary facilities to insure a continual, friendly, dialogue once our nation finally settles its agricultural debacle.

As for your offers of Schultarian diplomatic representation in Azazia and Sharina, you may consider the request all but formally granted as such an offer between such politically adept, socially independent, technically advanced, and economically strong nations can provide nothing but beneficial rewards to all three of our national entities. While it might be some considerable time before the Schultarian Department of State will have the necessary personnel mustered for a series of new international assignments, the arrangements for your diplomatic presence will be delivered as soon as humanly possible and hand delivered by myself if necessary."

I humbly thank you for your patience,

-Elliot Schultz: Central Director of Schultaria Prime / Protectorate of Islandia Schultaria

To the Nation of Roman Republic

We are willing to accept to the location of your consulate, and we welcome your nation to the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime. Our nation considers peaceful diplomatic relations a far better alternative than aggressive military action; it's comforting to know that there are nations who are willing to enter such agreements in this day and age. Our government hopes this will be the beginning of stable relations, and we would be more than willing to exchange comparable Schultarian diplomatic representation in Roman Republic.

Given the requests you have asked of our nation, United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would be willing to explore the option of establishing an embassy on your national grounds sometime within the near future; of course, we shall defer to your government for perusal and further inquiry. If you have any specific agreements that you would like the Schultarian National Assembly to either validate or consider in the near future, please feel free to present them at your leisure. We must note, however, with the impending passage of the "Freer Trade for Freer Nations" Act, the end of unrestricted trade negotiations with Schultaria Prime are fast approaching. Some nations who have not been able to capitalize on creating a trade negotiation prior to the ratification of this act are subject to stiff tariff impositions in addition to restrictive Schultarian export limitations.

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; such events are (quite thankfully) few and far between in the history of our nation.

We also thank you for your offer in establishing a sovereign diplomatic presence in your nation, and we hope that this will be a start of a new dialog between our two nations. Please contact us soon regarding any additional international agreement and we will try and do our utmost to come to consensus.

To: The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime
From: Anatole Solei, Chief of Diplomatic Relations for Kageshima

The Island Dominion of Kageshima, governed by Her Sovereignty, the Divine Lady Fate, is interested in establishing an embassy within the city of Padersonia, the island protectorate of Schultaria Prime. Due to the special needs of our ambassadors, this would be the most ideal location for us. If there is an embassy building on the coast, we would be happy to purchase it. However, if there is none available for purchase, we would be willing to build one for the price listed, with the understanding that our diplomatic teams are small and do not require a great deal of space, and such an embassy would likely be smaller than its neighbors. We also welcome the establishment of a Schultarian embassy just outside our nation’s capitol city. Please find enclosed an informative brochure for your convenience.

We look forward to further correspondence and the possible establishment of a trade agreement between our two nations. If you are interested in seeing a list of Kageshima’s exports, please contact me at the Foreign Affairs Office, Isle of Shadow, Kageshima.

Cordially yours,
Anatole Solei

To the Nation of Kageshima


We, the State Department of Schultaria Prime, would like to thank you for your nation's diplomatic openness and welcome your nation to a mutually beneficial diplomatic arrangement. Our nation considers peaceful diplomatic relations a far better alternative than aggressive military action, and it's quite encouraging to know that there are bourgeoning nations who are willing to enter such agreements in this day and age. Our government hopes this will be the beginning of stable relations, and as such we would be more than willing to make special accommodations for your first embassy with the Schultarian state as well as exchange for comparable Schultarian diplomatic representation in Kageshima.

As such, we have gone to extensive work to accommodate your embassy facility on a recently renovated oceanfront property on Padersonia's exclusive southerly coast. Located in a newly constructed twenty story (fifteen floors above ground, five sub basements) government ministry building with an average per-floor area of 1500 square meters, the facility conforms to all state-sanctioned safety, aesthetic, and environmental regulations but has not currently been occupied due to budgetary concerns following a recent agricultural fire of devastating proportions. You may rent as many floors as you wish based on the current rate for Tenant costs (currently at $4,419.89 Sm [$8,000 USD] per square meter).

With the prospect of developing and sustaining potential socially and economically beneficial avenues, the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime would be willing to explore the option of establishing an embassy on your national grounds sometime within the near future; of course, we shall defer to your government for perusal and further inquiry. If you have any specific agreements of trade that you would like the Schultarian National Assembly to either validate or consider in the near future, please feel free to present them at your leisure. We must note, however, with the impending passage of the "Freer Trade for Freer Nations" Act, the end of unrestricted trade negotiations with Schultaria Prime are fast approaching.

A BUMP for the Morning.

A BUMP for the Evening.

I can personally assure you that Prime Minister Tetley does not regard the “lack of expedience” as anything that paints the people or government of Schultaria Prime in any negative light. Rather, the Prime Minister would like me to express his admiration of the perseverance of the people of Schultaria Prime in these most trying times; however this admiration is not passive as the Prime Minister has begun negotiations with the leading agricultural companies in the UK about providing low-cost imports to your country. I cannot stress enough, however, that the United Kingdom also is enduring our own agricultural crisis – we are a nation that has begun to vastly outstrip our own resources. Yet recent territorial acquisitions will leave His Majesty’s Government with a modest food surplus – most of which has already been designated for domestic uses. However, there are a few million tons of grain available in the private sector and the Prime Minister, in conjunction with his economic advisors, has begun to talk to industry officials about the possibility of below-market price sales to Schultaria Prime to ease the burden on the people of Schultaria Prime.

Turning to the technical details, the Prime Minister would like to thank your government for the most generous grant of 100,000 square meters of space. At the same time, we have procured a similarly sized plot of land in the capital of Imperium for use by the Schultarian diplomatic corps when sufficient personnel become available. Until such time, the land will remain dormant, sovereign Schutarian soil – guarded by His Majesty’s Royal Guards who will remain on the exterior perimeter. To best facilitate any possible talks in the future about food shipments, Parliament has already approved the nomination of Sir Reginald Lloyd as the envoy of His Majesty’s Government to Schultaria Prime, and when the facilities of our embassy attain the ability to function, he will be dispatched in replacement of the charge d’affaires.

May the noble people of Schultaria persevere under your astute guidance, Director Schultz.

From: General Ajay Patel, Lieutenant of Foreign Affairs

Thank you for accepting our request to build a consulate in your nation. We have space for you to build an embassy in our capital. Feel free to contact us when your embassy personnel will begin arriving so the builders can build the embassy before your personnel arrive an settle in the embassy.

To the Foreign Minister of Schultaria Prime:
We are a relatively small nation that has only recently began to participate in foreign affairs outside our region. We are interested in setting up embassies in Schultaria Prime and in Padersonia, each totalling 4,000 square meters in size; each embassy's staff will consist of twenty-five people, including the ambassador, twelve staffers, and twelve guards. We are also interested in building consulates in Edgen, Tarannu, and Satlemai. Each consulate's staff will consist of ten people: the consular chief, four staffers, and five guards (if possible; if not, then one consular chief and nine staffers). If you wish to reciprocate, please contact us here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=464604). The money required will be wired to you upon confirmation. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mark Warner, Foreign Minister of The Beltway
