All chanceries are to be located in the city of Prosperidad. We can currently guarantee multiple locations less than a kilometer walk North of downtown and less than a kilometer walk Northeast of Capitol Hill. Said locations will most likely be less than six stories tall and will have, at most, two layers of basement, but vary in size as necessary to meet local needs. Despite sharing walls with other buildings, the inter-unit walls are rienforced and soundproofed.

Ambassadors-at-large may utilise residential units in Downtown or elsewhere in the city, although said suite won't count as a chancery. Particularly small embassies may also rent office space in Downtown, and will enjoy the protections of a chancery while doing so, but they will not be permitted to have automobiles at the embassy site.

Diplomatic immunity rules:

Subject	May be arrested/detained	Residence may be entered with warrant	May be issued traffic ticket/driver sanctions	May be subpoenaed as witness	May be prosecuted
Ambassador or equivelant	Only for vehicle offenses	No	Yes	No	Only for Vehicle offenses
Member of embassy administrative or technical staff	Only for vehicle offenses	No	Yes	No	Only for vehicle offenses
Member of embassy service staff	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Only for nonofficial acts and vehicle offenses
Career consular officers	Yes, for felonies and vehicle offenses	yes	yes	Not for official acts, otherwise yes	Only for nonofficial acts and vehicle offenses
Honorary consular officers	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not for official acts, otherwise yes	Only for nonofficial acts and vehicle offenses
Consular Employee	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not for official acts, otherwise yes	Only for nonofficial acts and vehicle offenses

Spouses and children of an ambassador have diplomatic immunity extended to them. Our databases are unable to recognise marriages with more than 256 total participants, and we refuse to recognise involuntary marriages, but we'll recognise any other foreign marriages of diplomatic/consular personell, and diplomatic immunity will be extended to spouses. In addition, children of an Ambassador or Consular-General will have immunity extended to them until eighteen years of age.

While we can't force you to waive immunity, we urge you to do so in the case of incidents involving a motor vehicle causing injury or death. Being arrested will save you from lynch mobs, and it will minimise public hatred of the country you represent.

Failure to be present for a trial pertaining to murder or vehicle offenses will likely result in persona non grata status.

Juansonian forces will not enter a chancery or consular office unless invited or allowed entry by the nation which controls said embassy or consulate.

All weapons and vehicles must be declared in an embassy application form, unless you are hiring local security forces.

Security staff limited to 60, and may not exceed the total amount of non-security personnel. However, those limits can be waived on a case-by-case basis, usually in exchange for something else.

Security is permitted the following weapons types with only standard restrictions:
- knives, under 1 foot in length. May be fixed-blade, manual pocketknife, automatic, or a gravity/inertia opening system.
- Batons (collapsible or fixed)
- Swords, sabres, and rapiers, which can be wielded somewhat effectively with one hand
- spears, staff, taiaha, and similar weapons
- archery gear which can easily be carried
- TASER X-26 or equivalent
- Pepper spray or gel equivalent
- firearms with a caliber less than or equal to 12.7 mm (includes automatics, ask about anything belt-fed)
- Shotguns (includes automatics)

The following types of weapons are prohibited:
- nuclear and radiological weapons of any sort
- biological weapons of any sort
- chemical weapons, with the exception of irritants normally used for police purposes
- any fixed emplacements designed so the weapon can be fired while anchored into the ground or onto a vehicle
- Any gun or cannon with a caliber larger than 40mm

Ask about any weapons not on either list.

Vehicles: Juansonia has regulated personal automobiles in a manner comparable to a ban. An exemption will be granted for ambassadors, consul-general, and security vehicles, but all other staff must use non-automobile transportation. Said drivers must apply for, and earn, a Juansonian driver's license. Even with an exemption, driving may be very inconvenient, so it is recommended that embassies and consulates keep bicycles on site for official use. All ambassadors, Consular officers, and embassy staff/employees will receive unlimited-use transit passes for the city their office is located in. Automobile and security parking will, in most arrangements, use shared parking protected by Guardia Civil Prosperidad.

vehicles may be lightly armored, but obvious heavy armor is likely to be denied. Turrets are right out.

---

Juansonia may deny an embassy request for any or no reason, and is obliged only to indicate denial after evaluation is complete.

---

If an ambassador, officer, or staff member is declared persona non grata, if a chancery or consular office is deemed unwelcome, or if diplomatic relations are deemed unwelcome, immunity and location soveriegnty will remain for the following durations, assuming near-instant communication and multiple flights per day:
- One Persona Non Grata - 24 hours
- Over half of diplomatic staff (total or in one chancery or office) deemed persona non grata - 48 hours
- Full staff of one location deemed persona non grata - 60 hours
- Full dissolution of diplomatic relations - 72 hours

The Juansonian Department of State is delighted to accept your request for an embassy, pending at least one of your embassy's staff receiving a driver's license from the Department of Transportation. Feel free to ship and install any necessary equipment to the chancery before then. Taiaha will be added to the list of pre-approved weapons.

The Juansonian Department of State regrets to inform you that your request for an embassy has been denied due to part of the request. Juansonia strictly restricts personal automobile use, and we have already stated that Only ambassadors, consuls-general, and security personnel are permitted to operate automobiles as part of the diplomatic mission. If you wish to provide automobiles specifically for use by staff, they must be driven by security personnel, although we can make an exception for the Eileen Calven being permitted a personal automobile. We highly recommend that you either reallocate said vehicles to be driven by security or replace them with e-bikes or similar vehicles. Nothing else in your request is of concern.

Feel free to ship and install any necessary equipment before then. Thank you for modifying your request.

The Juansonian Department of State is delighted to accept your request for an embassy, and we'll gladly allow use of the shuttle bus - the requirement that vehicles be operated by security personnel is intended primarily to prevent general staff from operating such vehicles. The location of your embassy is now being prepared, and we'll start the driver licensing process for the security staff.

The Juansonian Department of State regrets to inform you that your request for an embassy has been denied due to part of the request. The total number of security personnel at an embassy may not exceed the number of non-security staff. This limits your security staff to 23 unless you bring in more non-security staff. However, we will offer a variance of 30 more than what would normally be allowed in exchange for allowing Juansonian security to bring the FN P90 when establishing an embassy in Columbus, Hudstia. This deal would allow you to bring or contract 53 Security personnel without hiring more non-security staff, or up to 90 security staff at absolute maximum.

As for contracted security, DigitLine offers a security package with one Customer Liasion, two Shift Liasions, and 16 other security personnel to be split between shifts. Hiring the Customer Liasion, two Shift Managers, 2 plainclothes bodyguards, 4 midday guards, 5 guards each (of 2) non-midday shift, and pay-after access to DigitLine's Quick Reaction Force will cost $6 580 000 NSD per year. Replacing both bodyguards with building guards will save $175 000 NSD per year.

The Cactus is of no concern.

OOC: it's been a long time since I looked at this thread.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
People's Republic of Hussija

To: Patrica Manuelita Rivas-Meléndez, Secretary of State,
Armed Republic of Juansonia

Esteemed representative of the Armed Republic of Juansonia,

It is a great honour for me to submit the People's Republic of Hussija's application for the establishment of an embassy in Juansonia. The nation of Hussija wholeheartedly believes in the importance of building and maintaining diplomatic relations with other countries, however different our beliefs and systems of governance may be. While we understand you may be somewhat wary of our hussite socialist republic, we would nevertheless be humbled in establishing a stable partnership between our two nations.

Most sincerely,
Pavla Veselá
Minister of foreign relations, People's Republic of Hussija

The Juansonian Department of State is delighted to accept your request for an embassy. Feel free to ship and install any necessary equipment before moving in. We selected for your mission a chancery site 0.3 km away from a Lutheran church, and there is also enough room to construct a chapel.
