Welcome to Krioval! We look forward to interacting with any and all nations interested in forging strong relations and trade. The government of Krioval is pleased to offer many options to the discerning nation when it comes to diplomatic, military, and commercial agreements in order to accommodate a variety of cultures.
Embassies:
For nations with populations below one billion, we offer an exchange of ambassadors, with your nation's embassy to be placed in the city of your choice. With renovations of the capital, Torokara, complete as of this notice, we recommend those newly available sites. We request that any embassy operating in Krioval be limited to twenty-five full-time personnel, and that weapons be limited to small arms. Explosives and weapons of mass destruction are expressly forbidden. Your nation may submit a request for means of transport or may bring their own conveyances, subject to the restrictions above. All diplomatic personnel are to be considered immune from prosecution while in Krioval, though they may be confined to embassy grounds or expelled from Krioval if caught committing a criminal act. The grounds of a national embassy are to be considered the sovereign territory of that nation, and in the event of the termination of diplomatic relations between that nation and Krioval, all personnel in that nation's embassy will be transported by the Kriovalian government to the nearest point of departure, and from there sent to their home nation.
For nations with larger populations, we offer, in addition, consular offices in other major Kriovalian cities. These offices, like embassies, are considered the territory of the nation holding them. We request that full-time personnel in these offices be limited to ten, excepting where nations make earlier arrangements with the government of Krioval.
Diplomatic Agreements:
Statement of Concordance
Whereas a treaty of peace is typically used to end a war, a Statement of Concordance is issued without prior conflict, and affirms the goodwill between the populations of the two nations who enter into it. Such a statement is typically a precursor to a trade agreement or stronger diplomatic agreement.
Non-Aggression Pact
A bit stronger is a non-aggression pact, which affirms the two nations' desire to avoid any military conflict with one another. Breaking such an agreement can have serious international consequences, especially among both nations' allies.
Right of Passage
This agreement simply allows each nation's forces to cross through the territory of the other's. Right of passage can be granted for land, sea, or air routes, or could be applied to allow mutual security at diplomatic sites, such as embassies.
Mutual Defense Pact
For nations of advanced technological level, including the ability to travel through deep space, a mutual defense pact requires the second nation to assist the first when the territory of the first is attacked. Such agreements can be arranged to require intervention only when neither party is the aggressor, or it can be applied to all military situations, even when one nation had earlier initiated the attack.
For nations of lesser technology, a mutual defense pact with Krioval obliges both parties to provide resources and intelligence to aid one another should one nation's territory be breached by attack.
Military Alliance
For nations of advanced technological level, a military alliance binds both nations to fight together, barring restrictions placed at the onset of the alliance.
For other nations, such an alliance requires all logistical and intelligence support that each nation can provide be delivered without delay to the war effort.
Trade Agreements:
Normal Relations
Under ordinary circumstances, few trade goods are subject to import or export tariffs by the government of Krioval. Nations concerned about these duties can contact Krioval to inquire as to whether goods they will be sending or receiving will by subject to taxation.
Preferred Status - [Target Good]
Under preferred status for a given material or resource, Krioval will void any duties collected on the import or export thereof.
Free Trade - [Target Nation]
In a free trade status, all tariffs, duties, and special taxes related to the import or export of goods to and from Krioval to a given nation are made void.
Additional Information:
If a national representative would like to request any of these services, please do not hesitate to contact the government of Krioval. Within twenty-four hours, a diplomatic official in Krioval will personally review the statement and return with either a decision. Those nations already party to any or all of these agreements should contact Krioval without delay to confirm that your nation's status is up-to-date. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.
