Dear Sir/Madam
The Imperial Republic of Sensal understands that in today's world no country can effectively survive without maintaining relations with the members of the international community. Trade, diplomacy, negotiations are all part of the great game known as international politics around and embassies are a crucial and vital proponents to this game. Embassies allow governments to quickly and efficiently communicate with each-other streamlining communications between nations.
Sensal in its past 100 years of history has largely kept to itself refusing to partake in international politics and concerned itself with keeping foreign influences out. Previously the monarchy had supported foreign influence in Sensal and the embassies from nations across the world found themselves in Sensal. But as the monarchy abdicated and the Republic rose once again, the new government had decided that Sensal had had enough of the foreigners' intervention. Embassies and their ambassadors were ordered out of the country with the Republic entering a stage where it became known as the "Hermit Republic" During this period of time, Sensal stayed isolated and kept to itself only allowing a very certain amount of foreign entities inside the country.
But the past 30 years had called for change and the Republic completely overhauled its foreign policy. This new policy called for greater Sensalian presence on the international stage and in part called for embassies to be constructed once again in Sensal. These policies are now being greatly accelerated by the newly restored monarch and the Imperial Republic of Sensal is seeking embassies around the world. We seek to create relations with nations around the world and to familiarize ourselves with the nations of the world. Due to these new policies, the Grand National Assembly has after 102 years of application, repealed the "Act of Domestic Protection" allowing embassies to be built and occupied in Sensal.
We greatly hope that your nation chooses to declare an embassy in The Imperial Republic of Sensal as we are certain that such will result in flowering relations.

Embassy Locations
Baekshan Avenue
Gate into Baekshan Ave.
Baekshan Ave. also has the unique distinction in which no cars or motor vehicles are allowed inside the avenue due to the traditional gate which situates it at the front of the avenue. Originally built in 1743 to house the first of foreign delegations that arrived in Sensal, the area was built at first as a complex where the Sensalian government could easily keep an eye on foreigners, hence its proximity to Sensalian government organs. The area has since then undergone several revisions to provide plumbing, electricity, and other amenities to the houses as the avenue maintains itself as complex for foreign delegations. Today it maintains itself as a popular tourist destination and many foreign delegations may find classrooms taking field trips along the avenue as well as tourists.
Songyun Street
A typical embassy example.
Built in 1932 to accommodate for the growing number of foreign delegations in Sensal, Songhyun Streets was built in the Victorian Era style which was considered the height of architecture in Sensal at the time. Delegations will find that the street seems more like a western foreign nation rather then Sensalian due to its near complete transformation into a western styled area. Delegations will even find western styled streetlamps as opposed to the more eastern Sensalian streetlamps and many people will be surprised to see more foreign built cars then domestic in the area. Delegations might be surprised to see university students protesting government policies or actions in the street and if such protests do occur, it is recommended by the Sensalian government that the delegation immediately contact the National Police Force without hesitation.
Yunghan Avenue
The most modern and most recent of the prescribed embassy complexes, Younhan Ave. is by far the most lively and loud of
