Social Democratic Republic of Ardoki
An Introduction
The Social Democratic Republic of Ardoki has a long tradition of being involved in international affairs. From our humble beginning after the revolution, to today, where we are considered a heavyweight in foreign affairs and diplomacy. Ardoki has a long tradition of diplomacy, starting in 1905 after the Great Revolution, and lasting to this day, guided along the way by the Social Democratic Party of Ardoki.
Ardoki maintains a commitment to civil, and political liberties, as well as social justice. We maintina a comprehensive and free education system, along with an expansive welfare state, to alleviate poverty and provide opportunities and prosperity to all, along with free and universal healthcare, as health and education are rights, commodities to be bought and sold. We hold firm democratic and libertarian values values, all have the right to express their political opinions and beliefs, as long as they are peaceful, and all have the right and obligation to vote in free and open democratic elections. Social liberties are held sacred in Ardoki, we are vehemently opposed to all forms of discrimination and intolerance, Ardoki is an example of a socially progressive/liberal society..
So, now that you know a bit about our country. I invite you all, to establish embassies in our country. We are open to, and accept, offers from all ideologies and beliefs, and we hope to see you here in our capital, Ardea very soon. Information, instructions and guidelines about filling out an application will be printed below.
Thank you for your time.

Ardea - A Home for Embassies
Ardea has been the capital of the Social Democratic Republic of Ardoki since the founding of the Social Democratic Republic of Ardoki back on the 1st of January 1905. However, Ardea has been the capital of Ardoki, from the very beginning of Ardoki, back in 502 BCE when the Ardokian kingdoms were united, and a single Ardokian state formed. For over 2500 years, Ardea has been the capital of Ardoki, holding the title of capital city for so long, is a record few others can hope to achieve.
Ardea is also the largest city in Ardoki, with a population of 58 million people, and it also has the largest immigration rate of all Ardokian cities. Ardea is a highly cultured city, sporting thousands of restaurants, specialty stores, theatres, and countless landmarks. Ardea is able to entertain any age group, from those who like knitting and opera, those who like cinema and reading, those who like strolls in the park and feeding ducks, to those who like sport, laser tag and paintball, to those who like to wander around the city exploring. No matter your interests, there will be more than something to entertain you when in Ardea
As the capital of the Social Democratic Republic of Ardoki, Ardea is also the home of all the foreign embassies. We offer large plots of land in the north of the city, which are set aside for foreign embassies. They are located not too far away from the city centre, as it only takes a 40-45 minute drive to reach the central CBD (that is the main CBD in Ardea, and the centre of the city). Private education and health, and shopping facilities are located nearby, however the plots of land have a high degree of peace and privacy from the busy city. Any designs approved by the Ministry of the Interior, may be constructed on the plots of land, and should be finished as quickly as possibly. We hope the ambassadors and their family enjoy their stay in the Social Democratic Republic of Ardoki.
