Embassies

I don't know if this is the right forum, so yeah. You know how on NS it says: "Construction of embassies with<Region> has commenced. Completion expected in <Number> days <Number> hours.". This doesn't really make sense in technical terms because the space were the diplomatic work is done is called the chancery while the delegation is the embassy. So what it should say instead is "Construction of chanceries with<Region> has commenced. Completion expected in <Number> days <Number> hours." Motion to change it to that.

1. NS is not even trying to be that realistic, you should have realised that from issues. That message is not meant to communicate actual construction of an embassy building for RP purposes. It's just a way to let people know that embassies are being established, and to show the time delay.
2. The word "chancery" is uncommon enough that many people will get confused by its use.
