It is with honor and immeasurable pride that I represent my government to the international community. Allow me to introduce myself; I am Luciano Scotto, Secretary of Foreign and Political Affairs of the Republic of Isola degli Alberi. It is my duty to represent the government of Isola degli Alberi both domestically and internationally. I have been instructed by the Captains Regent and the Grand and General Council to initiate the Embassy Program of Isola degli Alberi to foster good will and promote diplomacy.
Isola degli Alberi is a small island nation located in Lucerna. Isola degli Alberi's rich history, strong economy, and historical neutrality makes it a valuable diplomatic partner to all nations. Under the supervision of the Office of the Secretary of Foreign and Political Affairs, the Embassy Program of Isola degli Alberi will serve your nation by allowing for the construction of an embassy on Alberan soil.
I highly encourage you to consider establishing ties with Isola degli Alberi so that our countries may find fraternity with one another.
Sincerely,
Luciano Scotto
Secretary of Foreign and Political Affairs
In accordance with the wishes of the Captains Regents and the Grand and General Council, a sector in the capital city Ostiglia has been marked off for the construction of embassies. As Isola degli Alberi is a small nation, embassies for most nations must remain small. Embassies will primarily occupy two streets in Ostiglia: North Ambassador Way and South Ambassador Way. These streets will be lined with buildings that will serve as ambassadorial missions. Basic furnishings will be provided, and further furniture can be arranged upon request.
Furthermore, if your represented nation wish to enter into a trade agreement or non-aggression pact, feel free to do so. If you have any notes, comments, questions or concerns, feel free to add them in at the end of your application
As dictated by the Grand and General Council, Isola degli Alberi has adopted a strict diplomatic immunity policy. Therefore, even under an official de-facto state of war status, your national sovereignty diplomat's safety and right(s) will always be guaranteed by the government of Isola degli Alberi.
The Office of the Secretary of Foreign and Political Affairs will further assist this immunity programme, in partnership with the said diplomat nation's international affairs ministerial body, in protecting the well-being(s) and maintaining the pre-conditioned right(s) of the said diplomat.
