The Confederate States of Rafaellun and Skraelic Islands
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

State Foreign Minister Alexei Benning

In this modern day and age, it is clear that above all else, the greatest asset to have at one’s side is a friend. The Confederacy of Rafaellun is not ignorant to this. The newly reformed Confederate States of Rafaellun and Skraelic Islands has now moved onto the world scene, rising above the troubles we have faced from centuries of strife and civil war. Now, with the newfound peace between ourselves and our newly integrated allies in the Skraelic Islands, we are eager to extend bonds of friendship to our neighbours in the world at large.

Our borders are now open, and we eagerly encourage the exchange of embassies now, that we may improve our diplomatic relations with those surrounding us. A number of allotments in major cities have been cleared for this purpose, and Farrun State University’s architectural association is working hard to provide the public with the highest quality, safest and most comfortable modern age buildings available.

We strongly encourage the fostering of trade agreements and are eager to form a cultural bond with our neighbours, after our years of isolation. On this note, due to the still slightly turbulent nature of public unrest, we would ask that attached security personnel are kept to a minimum, and powerful military hardware is forbidden. Your personnel’s safety will be capably ensured by our own law enforcement presence, but we cannot risk more foreign weapons being imported into the country, no matter how benign their intended purpose.

We welcome you into our country, and wish you a safe, productive stay.



Regards,
Alexei Benning
State Foreign Minister

Your application has been accepted. We welcome the Conteasa into our country. We go to the greatest of efforts to provide each and every ambassador with the highest quality of living space. Your ambassador will not be disapointed, or uncomfortable.

In regards to your request of a sauna and ballroom, the State Planning Division will contact you shortly. They well organise for a private contractor to perform the construction; although please note that the cost will not be covered by the Confederacy. In regards to your request for a tailor, we would suggest the esteemed H.I Gregor, accesible on +31 554 291. She has worked for several high-class diplomats and dignitaries, and there is no better in the country for your needs.

Subject: Re: Embassy Exchange

Dear sir,

Regrettably we cannot accept your application at this time. The armament of your security detail is in contradiction with Ministry of Foreign Affairs Embassy Guidelines, article number [3]. At this time, we cannot permit firearms larger than handguns to be taken into the country - do not fear for your staff's safety, security is ably handled by the 14th Rafaellun National Guard, in addition to the Rafaellun State Police Force. Please, amend your embassy specifications to comply, and we will accept your application. Of course, we will be happy to reciprocate by establishing an embassy of our own.

Regards,
Alexei Benning, State Foreign Minister

Subject: Re: Embassy Exchange

Dear Sir,

In regards to your security detail: you have stated that although there are 30guards on site, they are on rotating duties. We assume that this means there will be no more than 15 armed and on-duty at any one time, is this correct? In regards to your request for heavy weaponry, we must apologise for the stringent guidelines concerning firearms, but I am sure you can understand given our extreme recent troubles with insurrection. We will permit for you to bring heavier weaponry into the country, although under the condition that they be kept under lock and key (with passcodes as you suggested) in the Rin County Marshall armoury. Given a crisis, they will be delivered to your embassy security detail with great haste. Please contact me soon to confirm this agreement.

Regards,
Alexei Benning, State Foreign Minister

Subject: Re: Embassy Exchange

Dear sir,

Regrettably your application includes items not permitted by the Embassy Administration guidelines, specifically "8x AF-07D Light assault rifles". We will permit you to include this hardware, under condition that they be kept locked up in the Rin County Marshall headquarters, in a similar agreement to that with the Borderlads of Greywatch.

In regards to your request for a helipad to be constructed, we have contacted the State Planning Division, who are proceeding to organise a civilian contractor to complete the work. This contractor will in turn contact you with further details.

We thank you for your understanding, and as such thank the nation for accommodating such weapons. We wish to note that they use a very small calibre cartridge, to minimalise collateral damage, and are adjusted to burst fire instead of full automatic. We remind Rafaellun that the weapons are only to be used by the trained security staff, who all are highly experienced.

Thank you again,
Foreign Minister.
