Azemican Foreign Authority: Department of Diplomacy
The Semi-Autonomous Diplomatic State of Azemica
Palace of Diplomacy, Cyseria, Azemica

OPEN DIPLOMATIC COMMUNIQUE

TO: The Nations of the World

On behalf of the people of Azemica and all of Andar, I would like to invite you all to open formal diplomatic relations with Azemica. Once you have done so, please note that to an extent your embassy is also with Andrail, the Imperium, and even with all of Andar. We are the state created specifically to conduct diplomacy on behalf of all Andar.

Firstly, we invite you all to, when Azemica is opened to the world utterly (after we get a map and basic Factbook) to come in with tourism agencies and consulates galore in many of our cities.

Secondly, we invite you to start with an embassy.

NOTES ON ANDAR AND AZEMICA: At this time, for once in its history, Andar's various countries are closed. Visas will be needed for travel. Note that Azemica is far more open, but not to mass immigration or emigration. Therefore, at this time no advertising or information-spreading by your embassy to make our citizens emigrate is permitted.

Laws Governing the Establishment of Embassies in Azemica

Diplomatic Immunity:
Diplomatic Immunity available upon request.
Diplomatic Agents in Azemica have the following immunities: May not be arrested or detained, residence may not be entered with ordinary procedures, may not be subpoenaed, may not be prosecuted
Support Staff brought from country: may not be prosecuted for official acts

Policy on Traffic Tickets
All traffic tickets of any diplomatic staff will be collected and billed yearly to the home country.

Murder
Diplomatic Officials suspected of murder are subject to normal procedures after two (2) days notice. After that time, diplomatic immunity is dispelled. Also note that any diplomatic staff may be asked to leave Azemica at any time, and must comply within one week.

Propaganda and Ideological Promotion
We ask that you refrain from promoting your nation's political, religious or economic policies or otherwise distributing propaganda while in Andar. For a special dispensation, please contact us directly. Although we cherish free speech for our citizens, we must prevent outside nations, however friendly they may be, from attempting to change our way of thinking or our way of life. NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS VERY TEMPORARY AND WILL BE DISMISSED ALONG WITH OTHER RESTRICTIONS INVOLVING IMMIGRATION AND TRAVEL, ETC

Emergency Transportation and Security of Embassy Staff
In the event of a war between Azemica and your country, every effort will be made to ensure the safety and deportation of your staff. NOTE: IF YOUR EMBASSY STAFF COMMENCES ASSAULT UPON AZEMICAN OR ALLIED FORCES OR AIDS ENEMIES, ALL PRIVILEGES THEY MAY HAVE HELD ARE IMMEDIATELY FORFEITED. In the event of a civil war or domestic conflict, efforts may or may not be made to ensure your safety.

Weapons, Security, Drugs, Etc
Azemica is completely free in terms of the above items. However, we do require that you list what you will be bringing. Please note that your embassy application may be rejected at any time.

Flora and Fauna TO PROTECT OUR NATURAL HABITAT, ALL FLORA AND FAUNA BROUGHT MUST BE DECLARED AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO REJECTION, EXAMINATION, OR MEDICAL EXAMINATION

All embassies are provided FREE OF CHARGE to your country. Note that additional requests by you may or may not be complementary.

Locations are provided in the following places:

Azemican Diplomatic Plaza, Downtown Cyseria
Wakeholm, Suburb of Cyseria
Devontale, town built specifically for Embassies
Murkasa Hills, outside of the economic and trade centre city Murkasa

Locations Available for Establishing and Embassy

Azemican Diplomatic Plaza, Cyseria
Two classes, A and B, are available for embassy placement. Class B has underground parking space for 5 vehicles, and class A holds space for 15-20. Both classes hold office space for approximately 50 staffers. Both classes include a small suite for the ambassador, with Class A's suite being larger and including (separate from the suite) quarters for approximately 10 staffers wishing to live on-site. We suggest between 5-15 workers for the upkeep and maintenance of either of these embassies. In addition to the above, Class B includes a closed circuit security camera network and a small two-guard monitoring room. Class A has a larger monitoring room, additional security features available on request, and a small guardroom/armoury. Note that these embassies are extremely close to downtown governmental and diplomatic centres, and near to other amenities (being downtown). The International Airport is approximately a 10-20 minute drive from all embassies here, and storage is available for up one fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter. Closed wireless networks have unlimited bandwidth for Class A embassies: Class B may inquire as to what can be done for them.

Wakeholm, Cyseria
Several Class C Embassies are available here, in a quieter area that is still only 15-25 minutes from the city centre, and less by helicopter. One helipad is available in any Class C Embassy upon request, and may or may not be complementary. Remember that embassies located here are very near to residential areas. Please be respectful of your neighbours. These embassies consist of 2-3 houses retrofitted into one complex. Each Class C Embassy holds office space for approximately 30 staffers, and living space for approximately 15-20 living on-site, as well as a house for the ambassador (and his/her family, if applicable). We suggest 5-10 maintenance and upkeep workers. Two of these embassies have parking space in the complex for 3-4 cars, and all include a bit of parking space on the streets in front of the complexes. Extensive security measures are available on request, but closed-circuit surveillance cameras are networked throughout to a large monitoring room/guardroom.
Devontale
These facilities are not available yet, but will be extensive. If your ambassador wishes to reserve a chancery, contact us. We will also have support for moving your embassy here when these facilities are completed.
Murkasa Hills, Murkasa
A few large areas are available for Class D embassies. These embassies cater to your special needs. There is office space for up to 100 staffers and living space for up to 60 as well as a small manor for the ambassador (and family). For upkeep, we advise thirty to fifty domestic and maintenance employees. Additional facilities include extensive security measures, a cafeteria, a medical centre, and a small recreational centre including a swimming pool and other things on request. The main point of this embassy is customizability. A large area is available for customization. Feel free to ask for small or big things, i.e. helipads or special instructions. These embassies close to economic hub city Murkasa.

Note that embassies are sovereign Azemican territory unless otherwise specified.

Internal memo re privileges for Embassy staff.
As most of Azemica's services are privatised, no discounts can be guaranteed, i.e. no free public transport due to the absence of public transport. However, various companies affiliated with Government, Inc. may have exemptions or discounts for ambassadors and staff. Inquire for more information.

Please, we urge you to ask anything you might wonder, for clarification or otherwise.

Please note: any special requests granted should be treated as favours by your government, which etiquette expects to be reciprocated.

Before you apply: note that everything in this information pamphlet is variable. Just make a special request in the last section. Be prepared to explain.

Any ideas for improving this process? Please tell us!

OFFICIAL CEASE AND DESIST

We have observed that you use both a renamed version of Zinairian Form D-19 (Embassy Application Form) and several sections from the (somewhat defunct) Zinairian Embassy and Consulate Programme's Charter. All documentation related to said programme is copyright of the Zinairian Foreign Authority and is released only after polite correspondence. Having no record of such correspondence, we must ask you to remove the offending portions of your announcement.

OPEN DIPLOMATIC COMMUNIQUE

TO: Zinaire, Attn. Sir Jackson Miller

COPY VIA TELEGRAM

I have chosen to reply myself rather than have an aide send or ghostwrite this message, as I feel partially responsible.

Sir Jackson Miller, I most sincerely and humbly apologise.

Our ancient nation is but ten days revealed to the world, and that may go somewhat to explain why we did not realise nor understand about your copyright.

Sir, we used a modified version of your what we now realise to be exclusively copyrighted forms. I plead to you, take that as what it truly is. A sincere compliment.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! In fact, our entire system was based off of your amazing and ground-breaking one. Yes, we've done our research. But I guess we didn't think about the copyright.

I sincerely apologise, and I hope that you can forgive us.

I plead for you to allow us to use the modified version of the form(s).

Yours in awe,

Duke Devan Mi'Dieran,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Government, Inc.

14 National Plaza, Zinaire City

We understand your situation and, although we do not wish to brag, must admit that it is a fairly common one. We will grant you permission to use the form and charter.

We also notice that your banner is seemingly based off a very old Zinairian stationary. We did not feel that our version was fit to grace the desks of diplomats world-wide and your reproduction suffers a similar judgement. Therefore, we offer to create you a new stationary to your specifications in the name of international beautification.

In a rather ironic turn of events, the very first issuee of a Zinairian Cease and Desist has since been taken under our wing, as the second, we extend the same offer to you.

OOC: Zinaire, will respond tomorrow. thanks so much

To Duke Devan Mi'Dieran,

We wish to apply for an embassy. We wish to purchase the land, and make it sovereign Kelnoriemian territory. We would like 1 acer of land in the Wakeholm, Cyseria area, to build our own embassy, to our own specs. Also, we would like to know if any rivers that lead to the ocean are in that area, as water access would be a plus. The river would need to be able to accommodate a 21' boat making a u-turn. Once we have info on the building site, we can get you preliminary building plans, and lists of equipment, and personnel who will be working the embassy.

Please answer as much as possible.

What are your nation's stances on:
Zwangzug has a population of more than three billion. In such a diverse, pluralistic democracy, with an endemic mistrust of the "national" idea, there is hardly any way to encapsulate the nation's stances on anything. In lieu of this, the responses below are those of the current administration. Asterisks in front of the term denote that this, in fact, is a fairly commonplace belief among most of the population.

Abortion: illegal except in rare cases
Capitalism: useful for spurring innovation, but inappropriate without restrictions
Minarchy: opposed
Anarchy: opposed
Communism: all right in theory, but impractical to institute
*Democracy: imperfect, but the best system of government
*Monarchy: antiquated and ridiculous
*Dictatorship: plusungood
Privatization: useful for consumer products and media, less so for social services
Socialism: the most appropriate economic system, if the right balance can be struck
Tax: high is good
Capital Punishment: illegal.
Trade Policy: fair trade...we think?
*Freedom of Religion: Absolutely.
*Liberty: Some. Some not. Depends on what kinds, doesn't it?
*Freedom of Speech: Definitely.
*Military & War: No thanks.
*Peacekeeping: "peacekeeping forces" are oxymorons. peace is good
Terrorism: uh, we're not fans? After multiple attacks on our capital, the government is "seeking peaceful forum" with limited success.
Healthcare: should be provided by the state
Education: ditto, though private schools can and do exist
Social Security & Welfare: yep
Outsourcing of Jobs: perfectly legal. restricting them to one "nation" is seen as a quaint idea
Environment: an important priority.
Gay Marriage: legal, homosexuals have the same rights as heterosexuals
WA: nonmembers
Treaties & Alliances: fine. Zwangzug was considered an associate member of the now-dormant "Communist International", but maintains no active alliances outside its region.
International Law: is there any such thing?
Azemica: Admiration of the innovative factbook policy; cautious trust
Andar: ditto?

Perhaps later we will work on diplomatic relations with other nations. But fore now, we remain happy with who we know.

Signed,
President John Smith

OPEN DIPLOMATIC COMMUNIQUE

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Dear Sir Jackson Miller; thank you for your understanding. As you have astutely noticed, much of our diplomatic programme is based off of your quite excellent one. Sir, I don't know exactly what it means to be 'taken under your wing', but I'd gladly accept any offer of diplomatic help from a nation as great as yours. Please establish an embassy with us; I would be glad to reciprocate. We accept.

Dear Mr. Charleston; you are asking quite a bit. Azemica may be able to grant your request in the future, but I think we should get to know you a bit better if you're going to purchase land from Azemica. I must request you to ask for an embassy in a normal location first. However, I would be happy to grant you some space in a marina near your embassy to store any boats you would like, complementary. Also, do you have an embassy programme and should we apply?

We would be happy to grant your request, Zaheran. Please specify as to the plot you would like, and it will be granted. We will apply at your embassy programme immediately.

Dear Mr. Wainwright, your application has been accepted. We will provide location for your ambassador and retinue to fly to shortly. Your embassy at 4542 Halleburg Drive has been reserved. We were just wondering where to apply for an embassy with you.

Dear Mr. Ruval; we would like to inquire as to why you would like the large Complex 1. We would be happy to grant you that favour, actually; please just specify what customizations you would like. Also, we would like some information on the Hegemony. Also, I assume you mean that you are asthmatic? In addition, we were just wondering where to apply for an embassy with you.

Thank you one and all,

Duke Devan Mi'Dieran,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Government, Inc.

There is no standard procedure for establishing embassies in Zwangzug: as a fairly isolationist state, such activity is usually initiated on our part. If you select an ambassador, we will be happy to set up a plot in our capital city.

Ah yes, I thought that I would need to explain, due to security reasons, we usually have all of our staff members and security guard to have living space in the embassy. The Hegemony can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=533242&highlight=Hegemony), and please excuse my spelling, staying up late at night has made me forget my medical conditions correct lettering. Unfortunately at this time, our embassies are undergoing renovation, and will be ready soon for reoccupants. The only other thing I may have forgot is the specific customizations....here are a few:
--->Modern European style architecture, no need for worrying about furniture, we will provide it.
--->A swimming pool would be nice if possible
--->WiFi access with a big meeting room with a webcam hook up for long distance meetings
--->Parking space for extra cars if we do need more (about 4 parking spaces total is perfect)
--->Good Alarm system in case of Break-in (If Guard is not around, or on the other side of building, ect.)
--->And of course, room for planting the lovely tulips, we have tested them and all the specimens are germ/pest free.

Appendix B:
Please answer as much as possible.
What are your nation's stances on:
Abortion: Pro-choice
Capitalism: Bureaucratically regulated capitalism is a positive thing.
Minarchy: We believe that our state may function in such a way within five thousand years. Until then we rely upon the Grey’s to regulate information and to run government interests. Meanwhile the civil liberties of the people and political freedoms remain high. As for abroad we support what brings stability and peace to a people.
Anarchy: As above, anarchy is a desirable state once several other obstacles have been overcome, such as rationing and industrial production.
Communism: It works for some states.
Democracy: Democracy is a desirable system of government as long as citizens are willing to work together.
Monarchy: Several monarchies have brought centuries of stability, sometimes flowing into democracy. Our own brief monarchy (many hundreds of years ago) was in-acted to overcome the corruption of a republic but was crushed within generations by imperial conquest.
Dictatorship: Dictatorships can also bring stability and avoid bloodshed. Though sometimes this is precisely what they lead to.
Privatization: Where it works it works, where it doesn’t it really doesn’t
Socialism: Better than communism, there are some traces of socialism within our system.
Tax: The Dominion takes 100% tax, the bureaucracy redistributes it, a safety net is provided, services are guaranteed and citizens who provide wealth for the state are rewarded with wealth by the state.
Capital Punishment: None. The state protects citizens; it is a perversion to kill them.
Trade Policy: Due to our tax rate and industrial regulations we are careful about trade barriers. This does not apply to the same extent to cultural, intellectual and information technology products.
Freedom of Religion: Absolute freedom of religion but no state funding and an absolute separation of church and state. For the last 80 years we have been an Atheist state defacto: The Dominion war’s greatest casualty was the spirituality of its people.
Liberty: Freedom for the people except where they would harm others.
Freedom of Speech: Absolute; from sweeper to Speaker.
Military & War: We are loathe to shed blood right now; and train only 500,000 soldiers (The Yellow Jackets) for overseas combat.
Peacekeeping: Peacekeeping is honourable where possible. But overthrowing a stable government to try to keep the peace is a doomed endeavour.
Terrorism: We maintain channels of negotiation.
Healthcare: Socialised
Education: Free for the people
Social Security & Welfare: A safety-net must exist for our people
Outsourcing of Jobs: Is this immigration of workers? Or emigration of businesses? The bureaucracy decides case by case.
Environment: We aim to conserve and preserve the environment that brings us our lives and opportunities.
Gay Marriage: Any citizen may form a partnership as they choose.
WA: We are a member.
Treaties & Alliances: We have ‘The Foundation Friendship Treaty’ with Anagonia, and are applying to join the NCTO: New Caribbean Treaty Organisation (a regional NATO)
International Law: Within the international community international law is king, within Sarrowquand our laws are the masters.
Azemica: We are looking forward to learning more.
Andar: We are looking forward to learning more.

UNOFFICIAL DEPARTMENT MESSAGE

Dear Sarrowquand,

as we hope to be great friends your application has been accepted even without a thorough analysis and audit. Construction has already begun to your specifications. We have employed a person who is an architect and regarded as one of the best if not the best in all of Andar, and has made many national museums and monuments to oversee design and construction . The cars will by provided specially to you free of charge.

When we invite you to inhabit it, we will also invite several other states of historical interest who will begin working on a joint archaeology project led by, if acceptable, His Imperial Highness Prince Dominic himself.

Thank you,

Lord Meron Dephir

Unofficial Communiqué: Open

We accept this compliment with the utmost grace. However should these arrangements prove troublesome to you please do not hesitate to inform us the 4th Speaker has a strong personal interest in seeing that the history project remains unhindered and that beyond this our two states can become good friends indeed. If for example the costs of this project begin to mount to hefty levels then please do not hesitate to ask us to offer a contribution.

Grey 80

Private attachment from the office of the 4th Speaker: Marked as sensitive

I am glad to see that things are going so well for you and for the both us. The artefact we are dispatching is the priceless Platinum Platypus a pre-Dominion, artefact that as far as we know predates any of the current peoples who inhabit Sarrowquand. The platypus is an animal which is native to some parts of Sarrowquand but with the exception of the Platinum Platypus there has been no trace of platinum found within Sarrowquand by the dominion ever.

We have attempted in the past to link the source of the platinum and the art work to nearby sources but have come up empty handed. We dispatch this to your territory in the hope that we may find some clues.

4th Speaker Sky Blue

Secret attachment from the private terminal of 2nd Speaker: Marked secret and confidential.

There are some concerns currently attached to two of our highly positioned bureaucrats: Grey 89 and Grey 90. I have been conducting an internal investigation of their conduct and have some suspicions. Particularly with regards to foreign relations: Normally such suspicions would not be passed to foreign governments however my concern is that their next move could be to sabotage future relations between our two states.

2nd Speaker Karl Sonsun

[ooc: working on the back story for this and some myths and legends. I'll probably put up a factbook for it all soon.]
