Democratic States of Wingarde
Embassy Exchange Programme


Greetings,

We warmly welcome you to our Embassy Exchange Programme. The government of the Democratic States of Wingarde would be delighted to establish embassies in foreign nations and grant the same priviledge in return. It is certainly a first step towards endured diplomatic relations and possibly the formation of powerful alliances with many of the current powers in the world.

You might be curious about Wingarde, so please do not hesitate to refer to NSWiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Wingarde) to find out more about our nation's history, society, politics and more. We would also like to know more about your country and what can we expect in the future from extended diplomatic relations. Please do not refrain from making comments or asking questions if you feel the need to do so.

We extend our appreciation for considering Wingarde.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

We would like to express our satisfaction with the beautiful building in Stromburg. We however would like to establish a 40-man strong Consulate General in Ravenholm, and 20-man Consulates in the cities of Wernover, Hilmentz, Ostbaden and Seestadt. These will mainly be used to file request of Van Luxemburgians willing to establish themselves or a business on the islands, or Wingardians vice-versa. We leave the location and protection to you. we will need Honorary Consuls to operate those consulates. The Consul-General will be a Van Luxemburgian Diplomat, but the Consuls will be chosen from Wingardian citizens having experience with Diplomatic relations. We await your response,

Dear Mrs. Strauss,

That is understandable. But the Union has made many powerful enemies due to a corporatist conflict, so we insist, that we let them have the standard amount of security they normally receive. This will only result in beneficial relations between the USNSEA and the DSW.

Yours Truly,
Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Empire of Wiltshore has not been around long. The people of Wiltshore are demanding reform of their Civil Liberties and Things are shakey. But we would like to assure you that we are still on the road to recovery. That being say, we feel that If we exchanged embassies and opened up to other countries, it would be in our best interest.
Wiltshore has already established an Embassy in The Federation of Prevostiana, but they too are in troubling times. They have became involved in a war with the nation of ViZion. We Belive that opening these embassies is the first step to a great Allience.

Wingarde is glad to exchange embassies with new nations. We understand the current state of Wiltshore, and are willing to aid you in any way necessary to guide it towards true democracy. A plot for your national embassy has been reserved at Stromburg, please feel free to start its construction as soon as possible.

OOC: Actually Wingarde, it's supposed to be 'Southeast Asia', but because someone took it before, I chose this nation name instead. So I preferably would like you (along with everyone else for that matter) to refer to me as 'Southeast Asia' ICly and OOCly.

OOC: No problem. Fixed. :)

TO: Wingarde Ministry of Foreign Affairs
FROM: James Ludovic, Head of Sovietain Dept. of Foreign Affairs
SUBJECT: Embassy Exchange

Our nation is very interested in developing ties overbroad, and would greatly appreciate any opportunty to take part in an Embassy exchange.
Should you grant us permission, we assure you that our embassy shall house no more than:


20 Members of Staff
10 Armed Guards (Sidearms only)
1 Armoured Car


The building itself needn't be at all large- we would not wish to impose ourselves overmuch. We understand that even a small embassy with meagre security willl cost quite a lot of money, and will of course be willing to pay the entire cost.
Sovietain is a communist nation- if you expect any militant hostility towards our embassy, be sure to give us fair warning beforehand.

Sincerely,
James Ludovic

Response from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs:
TO: James Ludovic, Department of Foreign Affairs, Sovietain
FROM: Emma Strauss, Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Wingarde

SUBJECT: Request approved

We have approved your request of embassy exchange with Wingarde. Even though we would advise taking a democratic path in your government, we respect your rightful sovereignty. A plot has been reserved for your embassy according to your instructions. You may being construction immediately.

Yours faithfully,

Emma Strauss,
Vice-minister for Foreign Affairs,
Democratic States of Wingarde

His Majesty’s Government would like to take the opportunity to welcome our fellow North Pacific neighbours to the international community. Although not the first, I am delighted to offer to the Wingardian government diplomatic recognition and the obligations and responsibilities that come with such recognition. Currently, one colonial era mansion remains vacant in our capital’s Diplomatic Quarters, itself located behind a concrete barrier wall with the entrance guarded by the elite Royal Guards. The embassies and residences are located along the New Thames River and are afforded a magnificent view of mountains to the west.

For our own diplomatic operations in Wingarde, we would humbly request that we be allowed to station 35 Royal Marines inside the embassy compound, wherein they will be authorised to use weapons no larger than standard issue rifles for the defence of the compound. External security of the compound will be guaranteed by Wingardian forces and so the Marines may be kept inside the perimeter along with their weapons. In addition, we would ask for accommodations for three armoured limousines and an acceptable space for a helicopter to land in case an emergency evacuation is deemed necessary. We do not, however, require a hangar or any such facilities to house any helicopter as there will be none attached to the embassy.

If these proposals can be found acceptable, as they are open to some negotiation, I hope we can consider this the beginning of a fruitful relationship between our two peoples and our two nations.

Response from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
TO: Emily Deveraux, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Azazia
FROM: Emma Strauss, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wingarde

SUBJECT: Request approved

We are glad to establish diplomatic relations with another great nation of the Pacific. Your request is approved, and in sight of your thoughtfulness in the selection of a building for our embassy in Azazia, we have assigned you a priviledged, generous plot overlooking the Stromburg Bay. A truly magnificent view.

Regarding your desired personnel and equipment you wish you bring to Wingarde, everything is permitted, except from the suggested weapons for your Royal Marines. Our security policy on embassies is strict, so weapons are limited to sidearms only. Rest assured, since we have our own forces to protect your embassy. Security can be reinforced if the situation calls for such measures.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Strauss,
Vice-minister for Foreign Affairs,
Democratic States of Wingarde

Given your restrictions upon the safety we can provide for our own embassy staff, we would request suitable facilities to double the security detail from thirty-five Royal Marines to seventy, as we cannot be certain that thirty-five Royal Marines equipped only with sidearms can provide adequate security for our ambassador and the remainder of the embassy staff.

Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Democratic States of Wingarde

Considering the unacceptable responses to the legitimate security concerns of His Majesty’s Government, the United Kingdom is compelled to remove her request for an embassy within Wingarde and revoke the offer for a Wingardian embassy within the United Kingdom. Instead, given the current restrictions imposed upon the UK it is the opinion of His Majesty’s Government that we shall only be willing to accept a small legation, and offer a legation of our own to the Wingardian government as the greatly reduced priority, expertise, and diplomatic rank will allow the stationing of fifty Royal Marines equipped only with sidearms. Should this be acceptable, His Majesty’s Government has prepared a small office building in the commercial heart of Imperium for use of the Wingardian government.

Your decision saddens me. Wingarde is a peaceful, safe and democratic country, and I feel disappointed that you trust us so little. Embassy staff are always granted diplomatic immunity so, God forbid, in the hypothetical event of a conflict between our great nations, they would have been let go unharmed. Please, I urge you to reconsider your decision.

To: the soverign Nation of Wingarde, Diplomatic Corps
From: His Magisty, Prince Laurence of Angermanland
Subject: embassys

At this time, We would like to establish an embasy within your nations capital, and in exchange allow you to do the same in ours. land is relitivly cheap and underused at the moment, so a generous plot close to the palace and with a resonably direct access rout to the harbour is available if that is what you wish.

As for our embasy in your teritory, if you accept, it need not be grand or large, though it must be easyly defencable. the staff who would be stationed in the afformentioned embassy and their equipment would be as follows:

1 ambassidor and his family
2 aprentice ambasidors
10 regular heavy infantry, with combat armor [this is unpowered. specs can be sent via telegram for aprovle if nessisary] and *cough* cerimonial blade staves.

20 conscript infanty, again, with blade staves, non-armored, regular uniform
15 assorted stafers, aids, and so on.

1 military officer
1 trade officer

no helicopters or vehicals are nessisary, however it is requested that the officers and the ambassidor him self be allowed their combat armor and long arms if they need to leave the embassy. assasination sucks, you know.

as for the details reguarding your embassy in our capital, it would be the first, and as such exact terms and so on would need to be aranged. please feel free to telegram me at your earlyest conveniance so we may arange details.

SUBJECT: Re: weponary

Your blade staffs are allowed as ceremonial arms, as stated in the security policy. In addition, may I clarify that despite restricting weapons to low-caliber handguns and/or non-lethal weapons, you are not forced to bring any of those. It is your decision.

Yours sincerely,

Wilhelm Vanholme,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Democratic States of Wingarde

While the United Kingdom does not anticipate any conflicts with Wingarde in the immediate future there remain substantial concerns for the diplomatic corps as well as His Majesty’s Government in placing the whole of our safety in the hands of a foreign power, in effect placing the sovereignty of our embassy and the security of our chancery in the hands of a foreign power. Such a state of affairs is wholly unacceptable to the United Kingdom and so we are resolved that at most, only a permanent legation can be sent to the Wingardian government until the United Kingdom can be left to defend her own sovereignty in a fashion we see as wholly reasonable and far less conspicuous than the battle tanks, APCs, and helicopters requested by other nations. When it comes to the security of the people of the United Kingdom, His Majesty’s Government is firmly resolved to not place that security in the hands of another – regardless of how safe and secure they consider their own country.

Emily Deveraux
Minister of Foreign Affairs

OOC: What is a blade staff? Isn't it just a spear?

ooc: in this case, not really. though there may be a real weapon that is similar to it wich i forget. in any case, in this instance it is a wooden staff with a slight s bend in the center, and one end has a blade wraped around it, so it has no point, but instead a continuous edge. it's also probibly shorter than a spear would be expected to be.

OOC: OK, sounds good.

Response from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
TO: Emily Deveraux, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Azazia
FROM: Wilhelm Vanholme, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wingarde

SUBJECT: Re: Disappointed

Fifty men with sidearms, provided they are well-trained of course, are more than enough to guard an embassy in any stable country such as Wingarde. However, you still insist you need better weaponry as if they were of such critical importance. Weapons are mere tools in the hand of an expert.

Nevertheless, you stand on your choice. Trust is the base of every alliance, and you seem unwilling to take the risk it involves. Very well, we will arrange to exchange these small diplomatic legations you suggest at once.

To: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Democratic States of Wingarde

The Dominion of Karmanyaka wishes to establish an embassy in Wingarde and encourages the Democratic States of Wingarde to do the same in Karmanyaka.

Karmanyaka has watched the emergence of Wingarde as a serious player on the world stage. Impressed with this, the Council and the Lord Tengil Johan Kader has decided to try and formalise the ties with Wingarde.

We would therefore be delighted to see a mutual exchange of embassies between our two nations. Details on the diplomatic delegation will be discussed at a later time. The people of Karmanyaka would like to begin by sending an envoy to Stromburg.

We would be honored to send Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Veder to Wingarde.

P.S. Wingarde, sorry to sound snide, but your nation's policies on embassy security guards from their own countries are even more strict than that of Iuthia's....

OOC: Check out any embassy in any stable country in RL and you'll see I'm not mistaken.

[OOC: But this is NS. While the politics of NS are 99.99% accurate, the security policies for embassies are MUCH more different. Nevertheless, I'll let you do what you want.]

OOC: To answer for myself: this is "As real as it gets". You ever saw guards armed with an M16 or any other assault rifle at a RL embassy? The 11 september guards are gone long since here. I know that NS is somewhat more violent than RL, but it's still a bit extreme. Guarding is the task of the Van Luxemburgian police, Armed Forces and IVD.

OOC: You guys are too fast for me. :p

[OOC: But this is NS. While the politics of NS are 99.99% accurate, the security policies for embassies are MUCH more different. Nevertheless, I'll let you do what you want.]
OOC: Security policies are generally different because one day some guy asked for more than handguns and he was granted permission. And due to the existence of the "everyone's doing it, so I'm gonna do it" philosophy in the mind of many NSers, most people are asking the same as him. Don't blame NS, it's the players' fault.

OOC: Would you be happy to exchange delegates with an FT nation?

OOC: Wingarde's MT, so I don't think we exist in the same dimensions. :p

OOC: I'm the type of person that believes 'to get nowhere, follow the crowd'. And before I clutter this thread up with posts, let's take this to TGs Wingarde....you have one already.

OOC: Heh, just because we differ in technology doesn't mean to say we can't communicate for the benefit of our nations (More your benefit than mine considering we have technologies you do not). So long as you have a diplomat who is willing to travel to a new planet then I don't see why this won't work.

OOC: Well, we are in radically different timeframes, so no, we cannot interact. Please read the stickies. ;)

OOC: How do you get time frames from this? And don't treat me like a n00b. This is a puppet FT nation of mine.

OOC: I treated you like a newb, there's a difference. And no, FT and MT nations can't interact with each other for multiple reasons (technology, what would happen in the event of a war, modern science, etc.).

OOC: I treated you like a newb, there's a difference. And no, FT and MT nations can't interact with each other for multiple reasons (technology, what would happen in the event of a war, modern science, etc.).

OOC: Yes they can. All your reasons are illegitimate. Technology? Whats your point? I'm not going to war with you. It was originally going to be for trade, such as minerals and supplies we could BOTH use (Yes, FT nations do need minerals and ores used by MT nations). Modern Science? Whats your point?

OOC:

- FT nations don't exist in the same dimension as MT ones, unless it's some kind of alien invasion or something.

- There are technological differences too obvious to be ignored, and trading those technologies would completely wreck the plausibility of my nation.

- In the hypothetical event of a war, FT nations would bring weapons so advanced it'd be stupid if the entire world didn't notice the presence and carry out immediate retaliation against the aliens.

There are many more reasons. It's all about balance, we can't exist in the same dimension unless it's a very, very special situation (alien invasion/contact, some kind of time travel, etc.). Now, I don't want to clutter this thread anymore with this discussion, so if you have any further comments, TG me.

OOC: Ok I don't know where you are getting your pathetic views.. but I find no need to take this to TGs. After blatant noobish-ness I don't want to face the posibility of resolving this. Please continue on believing what you feel.

OOC: It's just common sense if you want to run a serious MT country. I addressed you politely and I got a disrespectful response from you in the end, so please get out of my thread now. :)

We warmly welcome you to our Embassy Exchange Programme. The government of the Democratic States of Wingarde would be delighted to establish embassies in foreign nations and grant the same priviledge in return. It is certainly a first step towards endured diplomatic relations and possibly the formation of powerful alliances with many of the current powers in the world.

You might be curious about Wingarde, so please do not hesitate to refer to NSWiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Wingarde) to find out more about our nation's history, society, politics and more. We would also like to know more about your country and what can we expect in the future from extended diplomatic relations.

Greetings from the Libertarian Concordance of Czardas!

Having heard many good things about Wingarde, and observing your policy of liberal civil and political freedoms, we would be honored to exchange embassies with you. After a great deal of nominations, counter-nominations, debate, re-nominations, elections, protests, and general complaining, we have selected Anduris Varden as the Czardaian ambassador to Wingarde.

Security at the embassy would be rather tight, as due to Czardas's current state of war with the CAD alliance we are rather paranoid about terrorist attacks upon our embassies. Therefore, we are sending, along with Ms. Varden's family and the 25 diplomatic personnel, a total of

6 Czardaian Special Operatives with their equipment (custom-made sidearms, wireless deactivators, stun guns, pepper spray, and all manner of other useful doodads)
6 custom-made scooter/motorcycle type vehicles for the above

We hope these will be accepted. If you really insist we can even ask the Special Operatives to turn off their personal 1,000-gigaton handheld pocket nukes for the duration of their stay in Wingarde.

We apologize for any confusion the above message may have caused. Mr. Dax is known for being quite a practical joker at times. Czardas does not have and never had any nuclear weapons. As many are unacquainted with the Czardaian brand of humor, we thought it best to give you due warning in case you actually tried to take some of it literally.

~ Kari Alhoun, Foreign Minister

P.S. I made nothing but coffee during the above-mentioned break, honestly!

Hello, Wingarde,
We are sending a trade delegate. However, I noticed in your description, there is no list of natural resources or home industries which you have. I assume because you are in the Pacific you have fisheries. You also have listed an automotive industry. We are very interested in trade, scientific, and cultural exchange.
However, it is not our policy to accept embassies on our soil. We ask for the right to park a small unarmed cargo submarine in your major harbor. Our trade delegate would be waiting there.
If you wish to purchase unarmed electric transport submarines, they cost $3 million for the 40 ton model, $6 million for the 80 ton model, and $9 million dollars for the 120 ton model. We would realize a profit of 30% which is fair.
Dynamic Motors, PPC-- Private Public Consortium is sending a special offer. We would like to form a partnership to produce a new line of armored transport with your automobile industry. I notice that you have a military armor factory, something which we lack. We would like to produce armored trucks for delivery of money to banks and other commercial enterprises, also we are designing an armored ambassadorial limousine for protection of diplomatic figures. Your economy looks like it could use a boost.

Official government message

Dear Mrs. Strauss,

As of lately, our nation has been opening up to diplomatic and trade relations with other nations across the world. We are very interested in taking part in your embassy exchange program, as it would provide us with a good start for possible deeper relations.
Here are the details of our embassy proposal, drafted by the Foreign Affairs Department and fully endorsed by His Excellency Emperor Fukov:

- Total embassy staff: 75 persons
- Security detachment: 15 persons
- Vehicles: Five four-door sedan cars, two of which are armoured

- Specific details; security detachment firearms/non-lethal weapons:
* FN Five-SeveN semi-automatic pistols (personal firearm of the security detachment)
* CS incapacitant spray canisters (personal self-defence weapon, each embassy employee is issued one)

- Specific details; embassy building
* Art deco architecture, consistent with other Brutaltopian embassies (see file attachment)
* Three floors, of which one underground
* Living quarters for the security detachment
* Facilities for the embassy vehicles

Concerning your embassy in Brutaltopia, I will include our current policy on foreign embassies. I am confident you have no trouble in adapting to these modest requirements.

Policy on foreign embassies - (Rev. 1B, Utvaltei Imperiumial Osastoi)

- Embassies and the embassy complex are considered to be sovereign territory of the nation in question.
- Diplomatic immunity is granted only for the ambassador and two other persons of the ambassadors choice. All other embassy personnel are subject to Brutaltopian law when outside the embassy complex.

- The Emperor reserves the right to expel any and all members of a foreign government, at any time, for any reason. With the exception of a state of war between Brutaltopia and the nation in question, the ambassador retains diplomatic immunity even if expelled.

- Embassies are responsible for their own security. Security detachment of no larger than thirty personnel is permitted for this purpose.
- The embassy security personnel have no jurisdiction outside the embassy complex, likewise the Brutaltopian police has no jurisdiction inside the embassy complex.
- No more than eighty firearms are allowed within the embassy complex.
- The firearms of the security personnel may not be of a caliber larger than 10 mm, nor may the round employed project more than 5000 Joules of energy.
- When outside the embassy complex, the embassy personnel are permitted semi-automatic firearms only, which must be carried concealed. If a firearm is used outside the embassy complex, a report must be filed for the Department of Foreign Affairs. 'Use of firearm' refers to both threatening a person with the firearm and/or firing the firearm.

- Embassies are permitted a single helipad, likewise a single unarmed helicopter is permitted. Flight plans must be filed eight hours before the flight to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
- Embassies are permitted to have no more than five vehicles, which can be armoured but not armed. Military vehicles are not allowed.

SUBJECT: Trade agreements

Wingarde's automotive manufacturing industry is divided in three categories: aerospace industry, shipbuilding and automobile production. I would suggest you contact the main corporations of each category if you wish to make deals with them. The country's industry is mostly autonomous, and prefers national products to foreign imports. Information technology also plays in important role; several software and electronics companies are major players in our economy.

As for natural resources, rubber and wood is abundant in our jungles and forests, whereas a wide variety of metals are mined in the mountainous areas. Offshore platforms drill for oil around the archipelago. Regarding food products, we have a prosperous agricultural (mainly wheat) and cattle industry, a thriving wine business and abundant fishing companies.

I would like to receive information about your nation's natural resources and industries as soon as possible, so that we can concert a trade agreement at the earliest.

Yours sincerely,

The Republic of Agonnoga would like to partake in this embassy exchange. Although we are a relatively new country on the scene, we would want sort of the embassy to have some room for a pool in the middle as well as near a desert climate since that consists much of our nation.

We have prevailed!

Dear Mister Vlahlome,

As you can see, I'm not great in foreign names. But, I'm the self-proclaimed leader of the People's Republic of Guyana Island, and that counts! I would be interested in an embassy exchange, however, I would advise to not come to Guyana Island just yet. I hope this will be understandable. My men will arrive by commercial flight in your nation soon.

It is with some concern that we note you have accepted a request from the nation of Roach-Busters* to establish an embassy on Wingardian soil. As Roach-Busters is a member of the CAD and thus a sworn enemy of Czardas, we wish to request that their ambassadorial plot be established as distantly as possible from the Czardaian embassy, and security be tightened on our embassy to prevent any ... mishaps.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and otherwise hope that this will cause no other rift between our diplomatic relations.

SUBJECT: Meeting of consulates and ambassadors

Dear Mr. Vanholme,

Both the Prime Minister of the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia and Joshua Lin himself are unable to personally contact you on this as the two of them have a classified meeting with a currently anonymous delegation.

Both wish to say that given the United Sovereign Nations' history, they were telling the truth. As you probably know all too well, the Czardaian conflict ceasefire and the peace talks have failed.

We also have absolutely no doubt you know what is CAD.

Contrary to the popular backronym, it does not stand for Coalition Against Democracy. Crimsdale. Articas. Doomingsland. Originally a triumvirate between those nations, it gradually accepted more nations into the alliance, generally nations which had radical right-wing, imperialist dictatorships for governments, hence the popular backronym.

We also have no doubt that you know the Totalitarian Stratocracy of Roach Busters, a military dictatorship which for a long time masqueraded as a democracy and has recently dissolved and revealed what it truly was all along, is a CAD member-state. We are most sincerely appalled by the fact you have allowed an alliance that is mutually hostile to our mutual friends in the Libertarian Concordance of Czardas.

We in the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia do not consider the CAD to be an enemy of our homeland. However, we view them with unfriendliness, and we do not want a war with the CAD. The Immigration Department has been getting ready for the vast flow of citizens, as to help our friends in the Libertarian Concordance.

Such is why we ask you this question: could we arrange a meeting between our two ambassadors? This could help things out both for us and Czardas.

Sincerely,
Office of His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt

Greetings,

I would have certainly not expect this from you. An embassy exchange is a mere formality to ease contact between two nations, nowhere close to an alliance! It deeply disturbs me that you would consider Wingarde low enough to even ponder about such a pact with countries widely known to be warmongering totalitarian states. I honestly thought there was trust between our nations.

We are also concerned about CAD, so I shall grant a meeting between our ambassadors as soon as you see fit. Once again, for the sake of our relations, I will disregard your claims as best as I can. I sincerely hope this will not happen again.

SUBJECT: Re: Re: Meeting of consulates and ambassadors

Dear Mr. Vanholme,

I am not Minister Lin himself; I am merely one of his aides. I most sincerely apologize for not previewing my message before I hit the "Send" button. What Minister Lin wanted to tell you, but I had to do the job, was not that we have lost trust in our Wingardian friends. What he meant and I made a mistake in phrasing in my previous communique was, it is a very bad idea to establish diplomatic relations with CAD, let alone an alliance. I suppose that's what you get for not having coffee while working late night hours, but that's beside the point.

We in Southeast Asia believe in, to use Prime Minister Neo's words, "Diplomacy over force". However, as we both know, given that the CAD alliance contains nations that generally have a, to use the political aviary term, "hawkish" foreign policy, diplomacy often has little to no effect on their actions.

Why establishing diplomatic relations with CAD, let alone having a single encounter with them, is bad enough? Well, their global influence reaches far and wide, and given their imperialist, warmongering, radical right-wing nature, they do anything to spread it. There are also countries that are not part of the CAD, but agree with CAD ideals and cooperate with them, examples of - CAD cronyists - so to speak, include the Totalitarian Oligarchy of Laurasia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Laurasia) and the Eternal Empire of Yurka. Both CAD members and friends of CAD possess vast intelligence bureaus - the Roach-Busterian intelligence organization, the Bureau Academy of Defense and Government Espionage (B.A.D.G.E.), has long been suspected of backing radical conservative political group, the Partia di Traditionale (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Partia_di_Traditionale), in attempts to undermine the Democratic Capitalist Republic of Pacitalia and turn the DCRP into a dictatorship. As did the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Union_of_Soviet_Socialist_Republics) with the Pacitalian Communist Party, before the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union) revealed its true color and true goal: absolute power, the sole goal and holding of Oligarchial Collectivism (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Party_%28Laurasia%29). The State Security Committee (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/State_Security_Committee), continues this similar spreading program (instead of Communism, the Absolute Power of the Totalitarian Oligarchy).

Given the fact that the Czardaian Concordance has established diplomatic ties with Wingarde and Southeast Asia, Wingarde and Southeast Asia may come face to face with the CAD bloc and it's cronies soon enough. Minister Lin and the cabinet shall be glad that you have accepted our proposal for a meeting. We shall discuss ways of keeping both of us as far away from the CAD bloc as possible, and how to help our friends in Czardas without appearing like threats to CAD.

Sincerely,
Office of His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt

Official Communique, Mauvasian Department of State
To: Wilhelm Vanholme, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wingarde
Encryption: None


Greetings from the Imperial Democratic Republic of Mauvasia! In the interests of furthering ties with your honourable nation, we wish to establish a Mauvasian embassy within Wingarde, with construction to begin as soon as possible. The ambassadorial staff will include the Ambassador and his/her family (the Ambassador's name will be released once he is confirmed by the Senate), twenty-five diplomatic staff, and twenty-five Imperial Dragoons in dress uniforms [OOC: they look almost eerily like the English 'beefeaters'] armed solely with nonlethal weapons as per regulations. Transportation will include not more than one C-88E unarmed transport helicopter, four armoured cars, and four civilian cars. We also invite Wingarde to establish an embassy in Darmetz (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=465423) in return.

However, in the eyes of Department of State staff, Wingarde has shown herself to be a nation dedicated to the furtherment of peace, treating war and conflict only as a last resort; in this expression of her philosophy she is highly similar to the Republic of Mauvasia. Therefore, to further strengthen ties between Mauvasia and Wingarde, I personally wish to pay a visit to Stromburg to discuss the possibility of trade relations and perhaps a full-scale alliance. If you find this acceptable, I will come at my earliest convenience.

Respectfully and in friendship,

Andrew Marks
Secretary of State

Response from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
TO: Andrew Marks, Department of State, Mauvasia
FROM: Wilhelm Vanholme, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wingarde

SUBJECT: Request approved

We are delighted to know your nation holds Wingarde in such high esteem. Your requests seem to be in order with our security policy, so I am glad to grant your petition for an embassy exchange. I am certain our relations will flourish in time. A plot has been reserved for your building, so you may start its construction whenever you wish.

As for a visit to our capital, you are welcome to fly over from Mauvasia as soon as you see fit. I shall make all the necessary arrangements for our meeting.

Yours sincerely,

Wilhelm Vanholme,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Democratic States of Wingarde
OOC: This is an embassy exchange, so if it's granted, we both place embassies in each other's nations, so I shouldn't need to request one in your thread. We can make the arrangements for the diplomatic RP via TGs, if you please. :)

The Department of State wishes that construction upon the Mauvasian embassy begin as soon as possible, in order to facilitate the commencement of more formal relations.

As for the meeting, the earliest possible time for me to undertake such an appointment would be in one week, after having received official approval and made the appropriate preparations and arrangements. If this time would be convenient, we will land at the closest airfield.

Respectfully and in friendship,

OOC:

Maraque, what's .9 calibre? Do you mean 9mm? 0.90 calibre would be something like 22.8mm. :p

SEA, so what? You made the mistake IC and now you repeated it OOCly: an embassy exchange on its own is nothing more than the establishment of diplomatic relations between two nations. In my case, it also means a certain boost (positive or negative) to such relations, depending on the political orientation of the other country.

OOC: Errr, wow I must have been on some deep stuff when I wrote that.

IC:

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding - my secretary which wrote the note through me made a mistake. 9mm is correct.

Thank you for the reservation of the Embassy Plot in Stromburg. Presently, we are preparing a plot for you in Surrey, our nation's second city.

In reference to organising a diplomatic meeting, we are happy to proceed, although I am presently in a diplomatic summit with pythogoria, I will make arrangements asap.

*sigh*

You do realise you're contradicting yourself in that post? You know, just because Wingarde is friendly with Czardas doesn't automatically make him an enemy of the CAD. Even if we were to hold some kind of conference and become blood allies à la Automagfreek-Pantera, I doubt we'd immediately march off to war against one of those poor CAD blighters. Besides, even if such a war did occur, that's still no reason to avoid diplomacy—Doomingsland has an embassy in Sarzonia and they're bitterest of enemies. And anyway, I sincerely doubt Wingarde would go to war at all unless he or one of his closest allies was attacked and all attempts at negotiation failed. Seriously, Neo. :rolleyes:

OOC: Precisely. ;)

Dear Mr ? Vanholme

The President of The U.S.M.R. would like to have a medium sized embassy in
your capital. He hopes that this embassy will bring The U.S.M.R. and Windgarde closer together. These are what he hopes to have in the embassy:
10 armoured cars.
20 gards. (Only 10 of these will be armed)
We will not bring any weapons in that are not nessasary as we do not like conflict and we are sure that Wingarde will deal with any trouble.

From: The Ministry of Diplomatic Relations of the nation of Cortellen.

Cortellen is a nation who is just starting to have a socialist government and would like to offer the opurtunity for you to have the first foreign embassy in Cortellen. We are willing to offer you a building in the government center for the embassy itself and a block in the new foreign district for housing your embassy staff. These will both be located in the capital city of Sylvan Downs. On that same note we would like an embassy in your country. All we ask is you allow us 3 diplomats and a staff of ten for each diplomat for a total of 33 people and then a 20 man police squad with only sidearms for any protection should anything happen that your forces would not control, although we have compleate faith that your forces would be able to control any hostile movement on our embassy. Your embassy will be protected by a 50 man police force and up to 20 men you choose equipted with weapons no more powerful then a rifle. If you wish to know more about our country we ask you to visit here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Cortellen). We look forward to a reply.
