*the News Report returns from a commercial about joining the Stoddenic People's Militia*

Anchor: Welcome back. In world news today, the Stoddenic government announced that a new Embassy Row was being opened in the Country's capital. *footage switches to a panned shot up and down the street with a small crowd of people standing, facing a speaking person, who is refered to as the Secretary of State for Stoddenia* A converted row of old warehouses less than a mile from the Capital building has become embassy headquarters for the world.

*close up on the minister* Secretary of State: We are gathered today to open this Embassy Row for people to send their diplomats to our nation. All those who do send their people up will recieve an office for their diplomat, an outer office for staff, and a small compound complete with gate and living quarters for diplomats and security personnel. Every nation in the world is invited to apply for space in Embassy Row, and in the off chance that it fills up, the Stoddenic government will provide other accomodations. In addition, when Nations develop diplomatic relations with our Nation, we will reciprocate and provide diplomats to their country.

Anchor (voice, over images of accomodations that are simultaneously modest, while adequate, and comfortable): Embassy Row is now open to all foreign diplomats. For any nations seeking diplomatic presence within Stoddenia, diplomats are to fly into the Port city of Oatmeal City and are to announce their arrival via telegram to the Capital from Oatmeal City. Once there, a flight will be chartered from Oatmeal City to the capital, where the diplomat will be installed at Embassy Row.

*news sounder fades and a commercial concerning the revolutionary version of the Doc, the country's currency that has recently been re-printed comes on, encouraging all citizens to trade in their old currency to be replaced on a two for one basis, with the other doc being made up by a revolutionary bond to be redeemable within the space of a year.*

OOC: For all interested Nations, please tell the name of your chief diplomat (you can include names of immediate staff as well) number of total embassy staff, number and composition of security personnel, and any other considerations Stoddenia needs to account for in creating the Embassy for your nation. We will then create a list of diplomatic personnel within Stoddenia at this location.

We will be glad to grant you full access to our markets. To be perfectly honest, however, our economic policy already gauruntees you, and every other nation, that access. Andicorp will grant free shipment of your goods to our nation. That, I believe, is comparable to a less free market nation granting you access to their markets. Also, we will be glad to send a perminent envoy to your capital when we are able to do so. At the moment, however, that is not possible. In exchange for this, we expect that your best generals (as well as any other persons you may choose to send) will serve as advisories to the generals of the various allied armies.

Thank You,

To Anonymous citizen
From X, in Stoddenia

I operate with the authority of Stoddenia's Government, and I will be the conduit for negotiations until permanent staff arrive from your country.

Please inform those you are in contact with that we can send aproximately 100,000 advisors to your country immediately. We will require the following things: A map to your country showing the deployment zone and all relevant supply points, vehicles for the transport of aproximately 10% of these forces, and a list of all partisans operating within the zone. Our staff will arrive seperately from the remaining 90% of our forces, and will delegate a representative attache from their ranks to meet with your government and coordinate our training exercise. Additionally, we need permission to do political work among the people in the zone, in order to maintain internal and external security

We will supply the following thing to our own personnel: All air mobility units, all small arms, ammunition for 30 days, food for thirty days, living quarters, and entrenchment impliments, if needed. As our forces will not be in your country in any official capacity, they will merely be "training" your units in setting up perimeters, organizing non-conventional tactics, organizing political support among the population, and every other procedure necessary for the conduct of an irregular war.

After 20 days our Attache and your group will assess the situation, and if we feel the situation is under control, we will finish up our training programs of your troops and depart the country. If felt necessary, we will opt to remain in country. Our departure after 30 days in theater is at our discretion alone. It is not our intention to violate neutrality, but it is within our scope to assist another nation in trouble, in order to ensure peace.

Our forces will have limited rules of engagement. We will not participate in any "organized" offensive action. We will be free to shoot at any military forces that threaten our position. We will engage in armed propaganda of the population within the zone, for the purporse of internal security. And we will recieve commands only from our own attache, who of course will be in constant contact with your military.

Anything beyond this engagement will be discussed with your diplomat when he arrives to Stoddenia.

Are these terms acceptable?

Citing our cooperation and good relations in the Torontia conflict (or our lack thereof,) we would be interested in sending a MIMC (Marines) Colonel to act as our diplomat to your nation. It is open to you what amount of Security you wish us to bring, any amount is acceptable.

We will require the name of the Diplomat, and you will be permitted whatever staff and security your embassy requires; just inform us of these numbers and grades so we can update our records. Once your diplomat is here in Stoddenia, we can discuss a military mission, if you are interested. We are in the process of concluding talks with Yallak, and so there is a precedent for negotiations set that should smooth the SOFA process.

Not meaning to be inflamitory here, but are you at our Port to establish an embassy, or are you here to make fun of our peculiar conventions in written messages?

As your nation is aggressively posturing towards us internationally, and has been invited specifically to NOT send ambassadors to our nation, perhaps you will explain your presence here. Otherwise we will have no choice but to detain you and put you with the other spies from Amestria that we are now in possession of and who are waiting in makeshift prisons at the dock for their Country to pick them up.

OOC: Stoddenia, which SF do you rely on?

SF?

OOC: I mean Storefront. Or do you produce your military units domestically?

OOC: We don't really have military units. the numbers of forces haven't been entirely finalized because our population is expanding so rapidly. Basically, we put weapons in people's hands, they drill locally, and they defend the country when needed. We don't even really have a police force, but we do have constantly active militia on duty in our port area, and the Citizen's navy is constantly doing shore patrol way out on the edges of our terrirotial waters, 120 nm out into the sea.

May I ask why you want to know?

OOC: Just curious.

The Grand Duchy of Tarlag Diplomatic Mission to Stoddenia City

OOC: Our military units are produced locally, they are homegrown militia units that are highly specialized in partisan non-conventional defensive tactics. They supply themselves, they are responsible for maintaining a weapon, and they are responsible to drill regularly within their district.

Greetings from The Grand Duchy of Elyria-Lorain,

We are interested in becoming allied to Stoddenia, not just an ambassadorial contact. In exchange for our provision of a parcel of land for a military base, we will expect you to provide us protection in the event of military aggression against us. This will eventually prove unecessary, but for now we have a very small military and need aid.
We also can provide aid in the areas of agriculture and mining. We have over 600,000 square miles of the most fertile and productive farmland on the planet, as well as raw metals, mineral, and precious stone mines.

sincerely,

Duchess d'Avignon-Elyrie

The Commonwealth welcomes the nation of Stoddenia onto the international stage. In these uncertain times of conflict, the Granzian people strive to create lasting bonds of friendship and trust. To that effect, we are willing to conduct an embassy exchange. The Stoddenian complex will be located in the Westolia Suburb of the capital, Granzi City. Attached to this communication is a list of further diplomatic protocols and regulations:

Standard Ambassadorial Exchange Procedure (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=351338)

As for the Granzian embassy, the ambassador will be one Ret. Commodore Stephen E. Haltmore. He will arrive in Oatmeal City accompanied by a staff of fifty and a forty-man detachment of the Diplomatic Service that will serve as a security force. For transportation purposes, we request that the Ambassador be allowed a small, unarmed helicopter and a duo of armored limousines. Attached with the above-mentioned security force will be a pair of RNI-A27 Piranha IV armored vehicles to be used for escort duties.

We hope this will be the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship for either country involved.

*Sec'y of State K. Sits down in a few spare moments* To Government of Elyria-Lorain. We are not ignoring your request for diplomatic recognition or other topics. it is just that our nation seems to be beset by foreign nations bent on destroying our Soverignty. What can you say. When you attempt to put yourself in the Vanguard of an international movement, it sort of puts a target on your head that every facist state in the world wants to take aim at. Be assured that when this crisis dies down and we restore normal operations, we will recieve your diplomat happily, and negotiate about the other points.

Many thanks, Sec'y of State of Stoddenia, K.
