"Mr Prime Minister, I believe we should open diplomatic relations with nations around the world. Thus I propose Operation YADEE: Yet Another Damn Embassy Exchange." The young man smiled slightly as he spoke, this had the effect of irritating the prime minister. The last thing anyone should be at this time in the morning was cheerful.

"Fine, approved, let the world know we're willing to talk about embassies."


Open Communication to the nations of the world

Following our return to the world stage, the nation of Xanastrovia is seeking to remove the isolationist veil we cast over our own face by offering plots in our leafy capital city, Orswen. Situated on the temperate south coast, Orswen has fantastic transport links, with two international airports, a large port and superb high-speed rail links to the rest of the nation, making it the perfect choice for a nation wishing to establish an embassy within Xanastrovia. All embassy buildings are completely renovated buildings within the capital, and as thus we currently have a large selection ranging from small inner-city town-houses to large mansions in the suburbs. If you have a specific requirement, please mention it in your application and we will do our best to allocate you a suitable location.

Whilst not totally necessary in all cases, ideally the nation of Xanastrovia should be granted an embassy within your territory in return. This is only mandatory in the following cases i) your nation has openly abused human rights in its recent history or ii) we feel it is a necessary to protect Xanastrovian citizens within your nation, be they living there or visiting.

Ground rules:
All foreign security staff may only utilise firearms with a calibre of .50in / 12.7mm or less except by prior approval
Diplomatic vehicles may be armoured but not armed
Embassy Security vehicles may be armed and armoured, but must remain on embassy grounds, except by prior approval.
Embassies are allowed one (1) unarmed helicopter / VTOL aircraft which will be stored at either airport within the capital, or by prior approval and dependant on size and available facilities, within the embassy compound itself.
Whilst there is no set upper limit on staff within the embassy, numbers must remain realistic i.e. 100 security staff are not needed to protect 10 embassy staff

All nations wishing to establish an embassy will be considered on an individual basis, regardless of any religious, political or economic leaning, and informed in due course if their application is successful.

Our Humblest Greetings,

Our nation has only recently received sovereignty from the Empire of South Germonia and since the momentous occasion we have been trying to strengthen our international ties by establishing foreign embassies.

We would like to send the ambassador Lady Grace Hampshire along with her husband Sir David Hampshire to Xanastrovia. Lady Hampshire, an esteemed Zinarian diplomat, would be accompanied by a consular staff of fifteen (15) persons and a security staff of twenty-five (25). As per standard Zinarian equipment policies, these guards would carry FN 2000 assault rifles (use 5.56x45 mm NATO ammunition) and FNP-9 pistols (use .40 S&W ammunition).

We would wish to use four (4) armored Range Rovers and one (1) Eurocopter EC 135 helicopter. We sincerely hope that it would be possible to keep this aircraft on the embassy grounds.

We hope that you find all these specifications acceptable and look forward to further collaboration with your nation. However, Zinaire does not yet have a formalized process for the establishment of embassies. However, a telegraph sent to the Zinarian Foreign Authority would allow us to begin the establishment of Xanastrovia's embassy in Zinaire.

Sir Jackson Miller
Chancellor of Diplomatic Affairs
