Official Statement by His Right Honorable Prime-Executive Leadership of the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia, Yao Yang Nelson Neo
http://www.geonames.de/flag-asean.gif

Greetings Esteemed Delegations and Fellow Members of the International Community,

Welcome to our diplomatic mission exchange program, dearest applicants! After closing down our preceding diplomatic mission exchange program due to redrafting issues, I have received approval by both the Upper House and the Lower House of the Southeast Asian Federal Parliament to proudly announce it's grand reopening.

We are most interested in establishing diplomatic relations with other members of the international community, as we pride ourselves on "diplomacy over force." The Union of Southeast Asian Nations (our second official title) is a secular, constitutional federal republic with parliamentary representative democracy that itself consists of a variety of cultures and has an enchanted past that lasts over many eras; over one thousand years of age. The Union itself was only founded within roughly the last decade, and since it's unification and rise to the international stage, it has learned quite a lot most swiftly in a short duration of time, and it prides itself on tolerance, liberty, peace and unity in diversity - hence our national motto: "In varietate concordia."

Our citizens are indeed open-minded and most welcoming of those that are not one of our own, thus making the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia/Union of Southeast Asian Nations an excellent choice to have diplomatic relations with. We treat those not of our kin and that are different from us with utmost respect as one would expect themselves to be treated. Southeast Asia is also a country that is rich in a variety of resources and is also more than willing to formalize trade ties as well. If you have any questions about our country or the diplomatic mission exchange program itself, please do not hesistate to ask. If you have any comments about our nation or the diplomatic mission exchange program, do not hesistate in voicing it out. And last of all, if you desire to formalize diplomatic ties between your nation and our nation, do not even think about hesistating at all!

Thank you very much for paying consideration to us, and I most certainly hope to hear from your nation in the near future. His Excellency Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Southeast Asia, shall detail the diplomatic relations contract: a modified version of the Iuthian Benevolent Dictatorship's own, with permission of course.

Yours Sincerely,
His Right Honorable Prime-Executive Leadership,
Yao Yang Nelson Neo
Prime Minister
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia/Union of Southeast Asian Nations

Southeast Asian Diplomatic Relations Contract

Southeast Asian Diplomatic Contract:
This document provides the authorization of the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the construction of Embassies within the Diplomatic Quarter of our nation’s capitol, Singapore. As the capitol is an inland city, twenty-four-hours notice must be given to the Southeast Asian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in written format such as telegram, secured e-mail, or secured fax prior to the arrival or departure of Southeast Asian borders. Travel outside the diplomatic compound must be escorted by Southeast Asian Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel.

Rules for Diplomatic personnel and stations are as follows:

Extraterritoriality of Embassies:
All embassies are considered to be extraterritorial. Southeast Asian personnel may only enter with the permission of the Ambassador.

Embassy Law Enforcement:
Embassies are responsible for their own security and law enforcement. Embassies are permitted a small armed force up to fifty people to accomplish this. Foreign nationals are allowed to venture outside the embassy with armed vehicles and men, provided that they do not assault anyone.

Subjugation of Southeast Asian Law:
With the exception of the Ambassador and thirty-five members of the Embassy staff (chosen by the Ambassador) who will be granted Extraterritoriality, all Embassy personnel are subject to Southeast Asian law outside the Embassy itself.

Expulsion of Diplomatic Personnel:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reserves the right to expel any and all members of any foreign government at any time, for any reason. With the exception of active hostilities between Southeast Asia and the government in question, any personnel so expelled are secure in their persons and personal baggage until after they have been removed from Southeast Asian territory (in other words, if we expel your Ambassador, he/she still has diplomatic immunity until he/she leaves Southeast Asian territory).

Diplomatic Security Outside Embassy Compound:
Diplomatic security outside of the Embassy compound is the responsibility of Southeast Asian Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel and Police personnel. If stated otherwise in the embassy application, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southeast Asia will allow foreign nations to provide their diplomats with their own security units.

Electronic Communication Outside Embassy Compound:
Each Embassy compound is permitted one- and only one- satellite communications station within the Embassy compound. Communications carried on this system may be encrypted or employ any other anti-intrusion measures the Embassy personnel consider prudent. All other message traffic must go through public communications circuits or be carried in the Diplomatic Pouch.

Diplomatic Pouch Communication Outside Embassy Compound:
Messages between the Embassy and its parent government may be carried by one of the Embassy staff with Extraterritoriality in a Diplomatic Pouch- which may be no larger than a standard briefcase. This pouch will be secure against any search beyond normal non-invasive passive sensors. For safety reasons, the briefcase must be transparent to X-rays. Any anti-intrusion electronics within the briefcase must be demonstrated to Diplomatic Corps personnel before the establishment of the Embassy. Any subsequent changes to anti-intrusion electronics must also be demonstrated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prior to its use being permitted within the Diplomatic Pouch. Any electronics within the Diplomatic Pouch that do not match the X-ray signature of the agreed-upon system will not be permitted entry. Embassy security personnel are permitted unrestricted access to the Diplomatic Security screening station before, during, and after the Diplomatic Pouch passes through to ensure that no Southeast Asian personnel are not attempting electronic breaching of the Diplomatic Pouch.

Communication with Foreign Nationals Accused of Crimes:
Embassy personnel will be permitted to communicate with citizens of the Embassy's government accused of crimes within Southeast Asian territory. This communication will be monitored by Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel and Police personnel, and is not considered privileged information. The Minister/Ministry of Foreign Affairs reserves the right to restrict any such communication in the event it may (in the opinion the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) it may jeopardize National Security.

Diplomatic Vehicles:
Each Embassy will be permitted to import five non-military vehicles for use by Extraterritorial Embassy personnel. Diplomatic vehicles will be considered part of the Embassy compound when in use by Embassy personnel with Extraterritoriality. (However, over time, when nations gain more trust from our nation, we can make exceptions and allow armed light vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and unarmed helicopters.)

Prior to entry, any such vehicle will be thoroughly inspected by a team from the Southeast Asian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the presence of Embassy security staff. All equipment installed in or on the vehicles will be demonstrated to Southeast Asian Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel. Any additional equipment installed subsequent to approval must also be examined by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its purpose demonstrated. Diplomatic vehicles will be examined at random intervals agreed to by the Ambassador. Any alteration to the agreed equipment will be considered a violation of the Diplomatic Agreement.

In the event of a suspected crime or threat to National Security, the vehicle and its occupants will be detained in place while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requests access to the vehicle from the Ambassador. Failure to grant such access will constitute a breach of the Diplomatic agreement. Under these circumstances and in the absence of a state of war, the Embassy may send Security Observers to ensure that the vehicle is not searched or entered by Southeast Asian personnel as it is destroyed in place. The remains of the vehicle will be returned to the Embassy once destruction is completed. The Embassy will be closed and all personnel expelled once this is completed. The destroyed vehicle will be permitted to leave with the Embassy staff.

Diplomatic Personnel and Espionage:
Any Embassy personnel engaging in espionage will be summarily expelled (if granted Extraterritoriality) or prosecuted within the full extent of Southeast Asian law (all others). Embassy personnel who escape (or attempt to escape) the supervision of their Diplomatic Corps escorts will be assumed to be engaged in espionage.

Travel Restrictions Placed on Embassy Personnel:
No Embassy personnel are permitted to depart Singapore for any reason other than to leave Southeast Asian territory.

Assuming that these terms are acceptable, I, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, gladly welcome the opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with your government. Please send any applicable restrictions for Southeast Asian diplomatic personnel in your territory.

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
