7. Any weaponry brought into the Empire must remain on Embassy Premises at all times, except in times of Emergency (With the exception of ambassadorial bodyguards who shall be permitted a pistol when on duty.)

"Not to my knowledge," the Deputy Foreign Minister, Kostas Alexakis, replied. He pulled up the list of American embassies abroad; none existed in Macaronia and Raviolia.
"Might as well set one up, seeing as how Baltimore Shipyards owns a shipyard there," the Prime Minister replied.
