A small foreword by Aðalbjörn Björnsson d'Unga, minister of Foreign Affairs and Relations
Vælkomin and Greetings,
In their infinite wisdom, the citizens of our glorious Federation have decided to allow foreign embassies within our territory, as decided by the democratic vote held within the Locantos intranet. As such, it is my pleasure to present to you, within my function as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Relations, the Federal Embassy Program. By applying for this Program, the bonds between our glorious nations will be able to be tightened. In order to host all the embassies, our President has been graciously granted the famous Trahesa Royale building by the Federal Association of Banks. Outsiders may not know but the Trahesa Royale office building was once the headquarters of TeleCentre Trahesa, before it moved to it's new location. As such, your embassy will be located within one of the most iconic buildings within the Federation, allowing a whopping twenty-nine embassies!
Currently, embassies can only exist within this building, as defined within Federal law. Should the number of proposed embassies within our nation surpass the twenty-nine, we shall ensure that new embassies will find a suitable location. As such, this Program will not close after twenty-nine embassies, as one could imagine happening. Further information about our Program, my position as Minister, the rules within the Program and other related items can be inquired upon at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Relations.
With Pleasant Blessings,
Minister Aðalbjörn Björnsson d'Unga,

Ambassadorial staff may be held for six hours before either receiving further detainment or release. The Ambassador may be held for three hours before either receiving further detainment, in rare occasions after being decided on by a council of Federal judges, or release. An attorney will be arranged for them should they ask for it, as per Federal laws, the time spent waiting on the attorney does not count as detainment time however. Snacks and or drinks will be granted to the detainee without extra cost.

- Same sex marriages have been legal in the Federation ever since it's foundation in 1814, due to the constitution refraining from using any genders within it's documents.
