I am Elijah P. Herman, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth. I am speaking on behalf of the Royal Commonwealth of Palmyrion. The Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth is a nation-state of nearly 2 billion people, with a GDP of almost $50 trillion. It has a military of 4,000,000 personnel, with 1,200 naval vessels and upwards of 10,000 military aircraft in the Royal Air Force alone. 33 years ago, the Royal Commonwealth has exited a 72-year-long period of economic downturns and constant warfare, with the so-called Dark Era leaving nearly 100 million Palmyrians dead in its wake, killed by war, disease, and hunger (at the time, you only had to pick one). It is then important for Palmyrion that this does not happen again, not only in its homeland, but also in the homeland of its allies. One of them would be you. We are willing to set up a free trade agreement with your nation so that our nations may enjoy a shared prosperity, and a mutual defense treaty so we may enjoy a shared peace and security. On top of all that, we also wish to have embassies setup in each others' nations so we can streamline the maintenance of solid diplomatic relations between our nations. Once you set up free trade and mutual defense agreements with us, you will have gained an ally of immense power: the Romani-Mar'si Union. Palmyrion can call on the assets of the Combined Union Defense Force - some 500 to 600 million strong in the Union mainland (composed of Holy Marsh, Palmyrion, and Romandeos) along - to execute military operations across the globe. The Union's population of 69 billion is an immense population pool from which the military and economic infrastructure of the Union can draw manpower from. We thank you for catering to our letter, and we await your most esteemed reply. Sincerely Yours, [digitally signed] Elijah P. Herman Department of Foreign Affairs Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth

I would like to emphasize that all other aspects of your application have been approved, including the free trade agreement. We will approve your application if it is simply altered to request a standard embassy. I would, however, like to raise a question regarding your security staff. As indicated in the information post, Laeralsford is a safe and secure city. There is no need to have your Diplomatic Security Service agents so heavily armed, although you may do so if you wish. Regardless, your application will be accepted as soon as the desired location is transferred to a standard embassy. We will also discuss the provisions of the free-trade agreement once the application is amended. You have my apologies for the inconvenience.

I am Elijah P. Herman, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth. I am speaking on behalf of the Royal Commonwealth of Palmyrion. The Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth is a nation-state of nearly 2 billion people, with a GDP of almost $50 trillion. It has a military of 2,500,000 personnel, with 1,000+ naval vessels and upwards of 10,000 military aircraft in the Royal Air Force alone. 33 years ago, the Royal Commonwealth has exited a 72-year-long period of economic downturns and constant warfare, with the so-called Dark Era leaving nearly 125 million Palmyrians dead in its wake, killed by war, disease, and hunger (pick as much as you want). It is then important for Palmyrion that this does not happen again, not only in its homeland, but also in the homeland of its allies. One of them would be you. We are willing to set up a free trade agreement with your nation so that our nations may enjoy a shared prosperity, and a mutual defense treaty so we may enjoy a shared peace and security. On top of all that, we also wish to have embassies setup in each others' nations so we can streamline the maintenance of solid diplomatic relations between our nations. You will also gain a strong ally in the form of the Romani-Mar'si Union. We are also taking into consideration your denial of our application due to the use of a large embassy typically reserved for close allies of the Allied Provinces, and with that said we are willing to change our application; thus, an edited copy of the application is attached to this letter. We thank you for considering our application, and we look forward to your most esteemed reply. Sincerely Yours, [digitally signed] Elijah P.

Dear Sir-
On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Allied Provinces of Laeral, it is my great pleasure to announce that the establishment of a Palmyrion diplomatic mission at the 1750 Hebian Street property in Laeralsford has been approved, as has your application for a free trade agreement. In the name and service of the bonds of friendship and trust between our two nations, we acknowledge the trust and responsibility which has been placed upon His Excellency Nathaniel Delgado in his capacity as Envoy of the Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth to Laeral. On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government and people of Laeral, I hope that the establishment of this diplomatic mission shall herald a new era of friendship and mutual gain within the bilateral diplomatic relations of our nations.

We regard with interest your proposal for a free-trade agreement with the Allied Provinces. We find your labor and environmental standards sufficiently advanced to merit a free-trade agreement. As such, a free-trade agreement with the Royal Palmyrion Commonwealth has been drafted, and will be sent to your negotiators to thresh out the details before implementation. We expect that of Laeral's exports, the most successful in the Palmyrion market will be luxury cultural goods such as artistic goods, fine textiles and clothes, and specialty foods such as tea. We look forward to deepening our mutual bonds through trade and diplomacy.

Dear Madam-

On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Allied Provinces of Laeral, it is my great pleasure to announce that the establishment of a Semolian diplomatic mission located at the 1800 Hebian Street property in Laeralsford has been approved. In the name and service of the bonds of friendship and trust between our two nations, we acknowledge the trust and responsibility which has been placed upon His Excellency, Mr. Marco Haísset in his capacity as Royal Ambassador. My Ministry and I look forward to working with His Excellency on issues of mutual importance to our two great nations. On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government and people of Laeral, I hope that the establishment of this diplomatic mission shall herald a new era of friendship and mutual gain within the bilateral diplomatic relations of our nations.

I am saddened to hear about the tragic terrorist attacks you have had at other embassies, and you have my condolences for the loss your department has suffered. In addition to approving your enhanced security complement, we have also made several changes to the structure of your chancery building. We have reinforced the gates surrounding the chancery compound, as well as dispatching several Laeralian Marshals (an elite police force) to keep a permanent watch over the area near your chancery. We are as determined as you to prevent any terrorist attacks similar to those your diplomats have suffered elsewhere.

As a final note, I am obligated to remind you that the resale of any tobacco products which have accompanied your embassy staff (and have not passed through Laeralian customs) is a breach of Laeralian law. I don't expect to have any problems of this nature, but we would very much prefer to avoid any unpleasant incidents which could blemish the beginning of relations between our two nations.

Cordially yours,

Lien Shui-kuo

[TURTLESHROOM II]

{ OOC: What do you mean by "near-human"? My nation has both humans and non-humans, and for "human-only" nations, I can send a delegation consisting solely of men as opposed to talking turtles or mushrooms. The IC justification is observing cultural norms and preventing cultural shock. }

{ OOC: If you define "serious nation" as a country with an actual backstory, with participation in threads that required actual effort to make, then TurtleShroom meets those requirements. However, the politics and agenda of the country is partly based on my RL views and largely consistent of an exaggeration or played-for-laughs construction of my RL views. The nation was designed to be funny, lighthearted, and rather whimsical, although I take playing as the country seriously. Is this acceptable? }
