British Empire – Embassy Exchange.

His Royal Majesty King George the IV, as recently found, that to his horror, the British Empire, though a fully democratic nation in its own right, has a mere eight embassies upon it’s soil.

This, however has not come as a complete surprise to his Majesties foreign office, who for some time now has openly advocated the need for greater international relations with foreign entities around the globe.

As such, in regarding the aforementioned, His Imperial Majesty has decided to implement an open embassy exchange. Each nation who applies shall be granted territorial rights within the foreign compound situated outside Windsor. All embassies, shall receive a direct telecommunications link with Buckingham Palace, and number ten Downing Street.

His Majesty, and the right honourable Matthew Servers, recognises that such a distance from the centre of government may be difficult for speedy communication between His Majesties government and respected foreign officials, as such, the Home Office, has decided to implement an aerial transfer scheme, which shall allow speedy transit into Westminster itself.

Upon Acceptance of this Embassy exchange, all foreign entities must accept the following provisos.

Imperial Security shall be responsible for the perimeter of the Foreign Compound.

No, explosive, unauthorised, dangerous or other outlawed items may be brought into your embassy without prior approval from His Majesties Government.

All foreign entities recognise that the embassy scheme is on a temporary lease, and that eviction notification can be given without prior warning and must be acted upon immediately.

His Majesties Government recognises the rights to secrecy regarding private/secret foreign documents, and agrees to uphold courtesy unless contrary to National Security.

The Embassy Exchange program is on indefinite lease, until Eviction order is issued, and/or the scheme is terminated by a member state.

Foreign entities recognise and accept the stringent security measures maintained by His Majesties Home Office, and in no way can any member state hold the Imperial Crown responsible, for any deaths, damage, injury, and/or financial strain.

Upon the request of His Majesty’s Government, under the direction of Prime Minister Alistair Tetley, I have been asked to conduct negotiations that will allow for the United Kingdom to maintain an embassy within the British Empire. The UK wholly accepts the provisos listed by the British Empire and in a similar vein wishes to offer an embassy to the British Empire within our capital Imperium, in the newly modernised Diplomatic Quarter, only kilometers away from the offices of the Prime Minister and Parliament.

Minister of Foreign Affairs

Dear Sir,

It is my pleasure to apply for a Praetonian Embassy to be located on British soil, and I would like to offer you the same opportunity for an embassy located in Praeton. Since our two nations have been on friendly terms for so long, it is as suprising to me as it is to you that we have not yet established embassies, but I must admit that it is not one of the more highly prioritised areas of Praetonian Foreign Policy.

If possible, we would like to be granted the honour of having our embassy situated in or near Trafalgar Square, and we would of course furnish you with an equally prestigious site for your own Embassy, perhaps close to Parliament overlooking Praeton Flumens, but we fully understand if this is not possible due to space concerns. General policy is to station 50 armed Embassy Guardsmen in foreign embassies, and we are willing to offer you a comparable arrangement.

Should you have any comments, suggestions or further requirements, please dont hesitate to make them known, and I sincerely hope that this deal can bring our two great Empires closer together diplomatically, militarily and economically.

Yours,

Sir Tiberius Polax, MP
Foreign Secretary

The United States of Independent Hitmen was also rather vexed to see that it does not have an embassy within Bob-Bob and that Bob-bob does not hold an embassy within the USIH.

Whilst in the past we may have had our differences we feel that the British Empires recent common-sense stance towards the potential conflict in the Med shows that they are diplomatic and worthy friends of any peace loving nation.

It is therefore with great pride that President Anderson would like to offer to join this program with the British Empire. If you choose to engage in this with us we would be more than happy to grant you land to build an embassy on Embassy Avenue, a scant five minutes drive from the New White House. We can also offer you consulates in all of the other main cities in the country so that you may facilitate help to your citizens who visit other parts of our nation other than the great capital.

Secretary of State Tom Adler, on behalf of President Anderson.

Dear Sirs of the Praetonian realm,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that you have been given authority by His Majesties Home office to open an embassy along Charring Cross road, which is currently adjacent to Trafalgar Square. His Imperial Majesty apologises that your desired location could not be met, however, as I’m sure you understand, the area is currently occupied and standard leases are not due to expire for another fifty-five months.

In response to your request for armed guardsmen, the Imperial policy upon firearms is extremely strict, and unfortunately we cannot allow any more than ten guards with non-automatic weapons. We hope that in this area we may find compromise, and if you require any further security, we can always request a security upgrade for your premises.

His Majesty is delighted to be offered an Embassy with Praetonian soil, and most graciously accepts. We are of course willing to make similar concessions upon our security, and fully trust our perimeter defence to Praetonian forces, if you so feel it is necessary.

Yours,
Sir Andrew Slythe,
Foreign Secretary.

Dear Sirs of the Azazian realm,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that you have been granted permission to instate an embassy mere meters away from His Majesties residence at Windsor. Due to the close proximity with His Majesty, the Home Office has requested that you limit your security detail to non-automatic firearms.

The Foreign Office, is of course delighted to open an embassy within your nation, in a hope to bring about closer and greater diplomatic, and economic ties.

Yours,
Sir Andrew Slythe,
Foreign Secretary.



Dear Sirs of Independent Hitmen,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that your request for an embassy has been granted by His Majesties Home office. However, due to the close proximity to His Majesties residence, the Home Office requests that you limit your security forces to non-automatic weapons only.

Of course, the Foreign Office is delighted to open an embassy within Independent Hitmen itself, and His majesty looks forward to maintaining closer diplomatic and economic ties.

Yours,
Sir Andrew Slythe,
Foreign Secretary.
