2. Nations may not apply if they are currently at war with any nation that already has a diplomatic mission in Afaenvia due to security reasons.

General information
Location
Embassies are located in the national capital city of Crystalcrest and are located near Rykwood International Airport (RIA) and within distance of the Central Business District. RIA owns hangers at the airport which we are willing to rent out for use of private jets and helicopters. These embassies are located near in an area on the outskirts of the city, called the "Plaza de Internationale", where a more suburban feel could be found due to the forested surroundings despite the heavy foot traffic in the area.
Larger and more secure diplomatic compounds are available on request, please attach specifications.
Embassies
As the embassy program is fairly new, all embassies have only been constructed in the last year so you may expect good quality facilities, working telecommunications and fibre-optic internet broadband pre-installed.
Facilities:
1. A spacious driveway and garage for the ambassadorial car and security vehicles.
2. Security quarters fitted with changing rooms, up-to-date surveillance and 'panic room' for weapons and diplomatic documents of extreme importance.
3. Fully air-conditioned offices for diplomatic staff and a small living quarters that can be customized for the ambassador and their family (if any).
4. A flag pole on top of the building and on the front lawn of the embassy for national flags.
5. Other facilities can be added via the embassy application's 'special requests' section.
Locations
There is currently 40 slots per street however more slots shall be created if needed
If your nation has undergone any changes since being listed (e.g. changed pre-title, new ambassador) send me a telegram and I will update the list.
