Greetings, and welcome to the embassy programme of the Federal Republic of Orleóis! Operating under the title of the Initiative de Coopération Diplomatique—or the Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative—it is with great honour that we present the refurbished programme that will act as the centre stage for future negotiations and the establishment of new diplomatic relations between the Orlésian government and other countries around the world.
The government of the Republic is certain about one thing: despite the evident need to maintain a modernised and well-trained military force, should the worst come to pass, the most effective way to guarantee the security and prosperity of our people is to work towards a peaceful coexistence amongst all of our societies, with their varying cultures, traditions, and habits. It is precisely through the inexhaustible diplomatic communication between representatives of distant countries that we can progress in this field and build a common future for all our peoples.
It is a fundamental right of our citizens—and of all those around the globe who value peace—to face an existence free from war, conquest, aggression, and other disturbances of the tranquility that we seek in our daily lives. Maintaining a fierce and unshakeable resolve against the imperialist tendencies of far too many countries and organisations throughout the globe, the Republic stands at the ready to defend democracy and diplomacy in the hopes of reaching out to the hundreds of thousands of countries that wish to engage with the Republic peacefully and work together in harmony to secure our own futures.
This programme is the first step in providing that safe and secure tomorrow. For ease of use, this programme has been divided unto numerous sections, indicating the rules and regulations by which the embassies established in the Republic must abide, as well as the different districts in which they can be established and the benefits that their embassy staff will enjoy. This includes not only nearby amenities, but also further extends into the aspect of diplomatic immunity. That said, should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Lady Secretary of Foreign Cooperation Clara Ludwig at clara.ludwig@mce.gouv.fro. For physical correspondence, please direct it to Secretary of External Cooperation Clara Ludwig at 14 Avenue de la République, Val Royeaux, ZIP Code 77916

Establishing an embassy in a foreign territory, especially given vast distances, entails many necessities, both logistical and local. These range from cooking, cleaning, technical maintenance and support, administration, logistics, and other key positions that ensure that the basic functionality of diplomatic missions persist against many adversities. The Republic has taken these needs when setting the limitations regarding personnel on embassies and consulates, hoping that these limits are agreeable to all involved parties.
For embassies, the limit stands at eighty-five people, excluding the ambassador and their family, if applicable. This reflects the higher demand for information, contacts, and services in the capital city. However, this is a further limit of 20 armed guards, who must wear distinctive uniforms without camouflage and display visibile identification badges at all times. The Republic is a safe and peaceful nation, with a competent police force and more than enough domestic capability to respond to any threats that may arise at any given time. As such, in order to respond to the excessive militarisation present in many governments around the world, the Republic hopes this limit will ensure that other states will collaborate with us on security matters.
For consulates, the limit is set to forty people, excluding the consul and their family, if applicable. This reflects the lower profile and scope of these offices in other cities that, albeit large, do not carry the same diplomatic and political weight of the capital of the Republic. Furthermore, the limit for armed guards is also lower, at eight individuals, who must follow the same rules and regulations that govern embassy guards.
The Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative advises hiring local service staff through the appropriate domestic channels.

It is understandable that, given the distance from their home country, embassies feel the need to prepare for a vigorous defence in the event of an attack on the embassy grounds. Such attacks could occur during protests, marches, or other events. However, the Republic assures that its police service is well-equipped and skilled in handling any form of public disturbances. Therefore, the Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative has decided to impose strict regulations on the use of weapons and magic (or other supernatural powers) for defensive purposes (or otherwise).
The Ministry of Foreign Cooperation declares that the use of any magic or similar abilities on embassy or consulate grounds is strictly forbidden in the Republic. Any violation of this rule will result in the immediate expulsion of the offenders from the Republic, regardless of the diplomatic immunity granted by the Ministry of Foreign Cooperation in accordance with international agreements. The only exception is the use of magic for life-saving purposes, either for oneself or others; in such cases, the embassy must inform the Ministry of Foreign Cooperation beforehand (if possible) and provide the necessary documentation.
The government of the Republic wishes to reiterate that it is not against the use of magic in general by those who possess it. However, for the sake of safety both of embassy or consulate staff as well as nearby Orlésian citizens, residents, or other civilians, the use of magic by this staff in the Republic is strictly prohibited.
Regarding conventional weapons and firearms, the Republic establishes the following regulations: each person who is authorised as armed personnel upon arrival can carry up to three weapons at any times, all of which must be visible—concealing weapons is grounds for expulsion from the Republic. These weapons must meet the following criteria:

Regarding conventional weapons and firearms, the Republic establishes the following regulations: each person who is authorised as armed personnel upon arrival can carry up to three weapons at any times, all of which must be visible—concealing weapons is grounds for expulsion from the Republic. These weapons must meet the following criteria:
- Weapon Characteristics. Permitted weapons are restricted to the following.
- Physical confrontation. Armed personnel are allowed to carry one non-lethal melee weapon of choice, which must be approved prior to arrival by the Ministry of the Interior.
- Low calibre. One admitted sidearm or taser, which must be approved prior to arrival by the Ministry of the Interior.
- Carbine. One carbine or similar firearm—with a barrel length of no more than 31cm and a calibre no greater than 5.56x45mm
- Munitions. All personnel must carry a maximum of three magazines on their person, shared between their sidearm and main firearm, in addition to the magazine already carried in said firearm. Only one of these magazines can contain live rounds. This will be verified upon arrival.
- Storage. The Republic authorises the storage of one extra rifle per every three security members in a secure armoury within the confines of the embassy or consulate grounds. These rifles must remain locked at all times and can only be used when the Ministry of the Interior or other authorised Orlésian institution has issued a warning permitting their use.
The Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative recognises the need for transportation of the staff working at embassies and consulates established by foreign governments in Orleóis. Therefore, it has granted some concessions for maintenance of vehicles within these premises; however, these concessions are subject to different regulations depending on the type of mission, be they for embassy or consulate use.
As part of the renovation of the embassy programme, the option to choose whether to build an underground garage for all vehicles on the embassy or consulate grounds—both for visitors and staff—has been revoked. Until further notice, all embassies must include such a project in their plans; this is a measure to enhance security and prevent official diplomatic vehicles from being parked outside of secured confines, as well as aiming to reduce street congestion from visitors to the embassy or consulate missions. The exact capacity of the garage, however, is left to the discretion of the mission itself, with a minimum of 50 spaces (of which half must be for visitors) and a maximum of 180 spaces (of which 70 must be for visitors) for embassies, and 20 and 80 respectively for consulates.
An embassy can operate a maximum of ten vehicles for various purposes, such as transporting personnel from the embassy to other locations or providing vehicles to workers of the embassy. The embassy can also operate a single aerial vehicle, which must be an unarmed, unarmoured helicopter. V/STOL aircraft are prohibited on consulate grounds. A consulate can operate up to five vehicles but cannot operate any aerial vehicles.
The Republic cautions all foreign dignitaries that vehicles will have trackers installed in them that will be active and monitored by the Ministry of the Interior at all times. Moreover, Orlésian environmental regulations will reject any vehicles that are not hybrid or electric, with assistance being provided should the foreign country be unable to comply with this requirement.

It goes without saying that the safeguarding of all foreign dignitaries who visit the Republic to represent the interests of their respective nations to the Federal Commission—and to defend the interests of their citizens living in the Republic—is one of the rare matters that enjoys universal consensus as being of paramount importance. This is also the case within the Republic; recognising this importance, the Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative deems it advantageous for the future development of relations to explicitly outline the measures undertaken by the Government of the Republic—in collaboration with the local government of both the Province of Val Royeaux and the City of Val Royeaux, in the case of embassies, and of all corresponding provinces, in the case of consulates—to guarantee the safety and security of all foreign missions to Orleóis.
The first important step with regards to this safety is the coordination between local and national police forces. Each city maintains its own local police services that performs the basic functions of law enforcement within their jurisdiction. The National Police Service works in conjunction with these local police forces to ensure comprehensive coverage of all areas. Specifically, in the city of Val Royeaux, there is an important additional presence of the National Police Service due to its status as the capital of the Republic. Though this is not the case elsewhere, there is still a significant presence of national police throughout the country.
The second level is purely federal. The Federal Civil Guard is a well-equipped and well-trained, specialised branch of the police service, and as such, will deploy units close to all embassies and consulates to ensure their protection against any threats. That said, the Civil Guard is dedicated to the protection of rural areas, instead of urban areas, and as such, contact with this organisation outside of the specific circumstances pertaining to their units stationed near government buildings and other institutions of foreign missions will be limited.
The final level of security involves the National Guard, which has various barracks throughout the country from where they can quickly deploy to deal with extreme cases of disorder, whether in the capital city of Val Royeaux or in any of the large cities throughout the Republic that may be of interest to foreign missions for the establishment of consulates. The National Guard has an extremely rigorous admission process in which its members must be professional military personnel requesting transfer to reserve force, after which they must also be approved by the Bureau of the National Guard. This means that the levels of training and skill are far above those of standard police forces; this, conversely, translates to an improbably deployment of these units, except for dire situations where they might be needed.

This section details all the information provided by the Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative regarding embassies and consulates in the Republic. Most importantly, we will provide here comprehensive information on how embassies are established, the districts in which they can operate, as well as the main functions and day-to-day regulations that each will have during their period of operation.
Embassies and consulates are the official bodies of representation of foreign countries within the Republic. Their roles and functions differ greatly, as do their location within the territory of the Republic. All embassies must be established within the boundaries of the capital city of Val Royeaux, as this will allow the permanent diplomatic mission of the country to be as close as possible to the main institutions of the Republic and make for more fluid contact. An ambassador will occupy the embassy, and shall be the main point of contact during negotiations—except in specific circumstances where negotiations require more technical expertise—as well as acting as the official liaison between the Republic and the foreign government in question.
Meanwhile, consulates cannot be established within the capital city, with the consular functions being carried out accordingly by the embassy. Consulates must be established in any of the cities spread out throughout the Republic. A comprehensive list of these cities, as well as their populations and the governing bodies, will be provided for additional information. Regardless of whether only one or more consulates are established in the Republic, a Consul General must be named, and they will be tasked with organising these institutions.
With the establishment of an embassy in Val Royeaux, the Republic offers a set of specific agreements that can be signed between the federal government and its international partners. Below, we detail each of the possible treaties and their implications, standard durations, and other details of great import. Please note that these are not all of the treaties that can be signed with the Republic, but rather, the basic treaties that we consider most important with our allies and international partners. Should the government in question wish to sign additional treaties, they may make such a request of the Ministry and it will be studied post-haste.

Embassies are a crucial piece of infrastructure in today’s world of international diplomacy. They represent the seat of the delegation assigned to represent interests abroad and are presided by an ambassador, who has extensive qualifications for their role in international relations and diplomacy, often acting as the highest-ranking civil officer of a nation abroad. Their functions are diverse, as one would expect from such a position, but include, amongst others: handling major diplomatic relations—including negotiations, solving political disputes, etc.—, representing the interests and defending the rights of foreign governments and citizens in the Republic, providing assistance to travelling citizens in the capital city or for citizens and residents of the Republic seeking to travel to their nation, and, more globally, maintaining basic diplomatic relations between their government and that of the Republic.
The city of Val Royeaux, where all embassies are gathered, is divided into a number of districts. The city itself is divided into seven distinct districts: the Quartier Ouest, the Chantemer Quartier, the district of the Tour d’ivoire, the district of Verrerie, the District de la République, the Jardins de Jouviance, and the Quartier Sud. These districts are then further broken down into 27 arrondissements across the city of Val Royeaux.
Embassies in the Republic can only be built in two districts: the District de la République, which acts as a district heavy not only in business and finance, but also in many governmental institutions and buildings, as a sort of governmental hub within the capital city; and the Jardins de Jouviance, which is a lively part of the city filled with many commercial centres, transport hubs, and green spaces.

Nestled near the heart of the capital city, the District de la République stands as a bustling enclave that seamlessly waves together the threads of business, innovation, and governance. This urban expanse, bathed in the hum of activity, serves as a pivotal centre for both economic prowess and the complex apparatus of government. With its towering skyscrapers, the skyline paints a picture of both modernity and ambition. Gleaming corporate headquarters and financial institutions stand shoulder-to-shoulder, reflecting the ceaseless rhythm of commerce. The streets, lined with the comings and goings of professionals, echo with the pulsating energy of a thriving metropolis.
Yet, beyond the glass and steel façades, the district unfolds as more than just an economic powerhouse. Governmental institutions, majestic in their unique architecture, dot the district. The grandeur of its administrative buildings, where the decisions shaping the course of the nation are forged, creates a sense of solemnity amidst the urban vibrancy. It plays host not only to government offices, many embassies, and diplomatic quarters, but also both the Palace of Rosenburg—residence of the President of the Republic—and the Palace of the Republic—a modern recreation that stands as the place of residence of the Chancellor of the Republic and the main meeting place of the Federal Commission. Here, the weight of history and civic duty hangs, where decisions are made, laws are crafted, and the fate of the Republic is carefully navigated.

In the southern embrace of the city, the Jardins de Jouviance unfolds as a vibrant tapestry of commerce, connectivity, and immense natural beauty. This lively district, nestled between bustling thoroughfares and verdant expanses, epitomises the harmonious intersection of urban dynamism and the serenity of green spaces.
A beating heart of commercial activity, the Jardins, as it’s often known, is adorned with a myriad of commercial centres that beckons residents and visitors alike. These centres become hubs of trade and interaction, where the latest fashion find their way onto crowded shelves, and the aroma of culinary delights mingles with the chatter of patrons. Transport hubs, pulsating with the rhythm of arriving and departing commuters, serve as gateways to the wider cityscape. Train stations and bus terminals, architecturally significant yet seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric, echo the movement and connectivity that define the district. Here, the convergence of diverse pathways mirrors the diversity of lives of the city of Val Royeaux. The streets, lined with boutiques, cafés, and cultural venues, become a canvas where the district’s vitality is expressed. In the evenings, the glow of streetlights illuminates pathways that wind through the district, inviting strollers to explore the blend of nature and commerce.
The Jardins also unfold into a green embrace, with parks and gardens offering a reprieve from the urban clamour. The softness of a natural landscape provides a counterpoint to ambient city sounds, inviting residents to linger in moments of quiet reflection or to engage in the lively hum of community gatherings.
The district, aptly located just south of the main government district of the capital city, stands as a living testament to Val Royeaux’s commitment to balance. It is not merely a commercial hub or transportation centre; it is a living ecosystem, where the rhythm of the city life harmonises with the tranquility of green spaces.

Consulates are the key needed to settle disputes and issues for citizens living or travelling abroad without needing to head to the capital. Given the size of the Republic, the need to establish consulates to deal with such matters as visa or labour permits, assisting tourists, and more, presents itself evidently. In the Republic, each consulate will have its own consul, which handles matters as a local level and deals with the disputes directly. However, any country with a consulate will also assign a Consul General, stationed at the embassy, who shall coordinate with all consuls and consulates to maximise efficiency.
Given the importance in choosing the locations where such consulates shall be established—and being especially wary of the impossibility to establish them in Val Royeaux—the Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative has deemed it appropriate to aid in this matter. Most importantly, it emphasises which cities are important tourist destinations or have large populations. Some of these cities include those such as Orléins, capital of the Province of Astrielle and the second largest city in the Republic, Valéclair, capital of the Province of Jasméa and one of the most historical cities in the Republic, or Cielrose, capital of the Province of Trives and one of the farthest provincial capitals from the federal capital city.
For your convenience, the Diplomatic Cooperation Initiative also attaches an Official National Map that can be used to determine other important cities where consulates could be established. Should more information be required, please do not hesitate to contact the Ministry at information@mce.gouv.fro.

Diplomatic immunity is a venerable institution rooted in international diplomacy and is a sacred accord extended to dignitaries visiting the Republic. This esteemed privilege aims to facilitate seamless diplomatic processes, preempting potential disruptions that could impede the proper functioning of institutions. Notably, diplomatic immunity is bestowed upon all members of the diplomatic staff; however, the nuances of this immunity vary, manifesting in different forms and degrees, as meticulously elucidated below.
Within the Republic, the cloak of diplomatic immunity shields individuals such as administrative or technical staff in embassies affiliated with the ambassador. It does not, however, extend to an absolute immunity, but rather, safeguards against certain legal actions. Those under the aegis of diplomatic immunity in the Republic are not susceptible to arrest, detainment, subpoenas, or prosecution. It is crucial to note, however, that this safeguard does not render its beneficiaries entirely exempt from legal obligations; instances such as traffic violations may still incur penalties, fines, and, in certain cases, lead to deportation.
Moreover, the Republic, in its commitment to global and domestic security, forthrightly communicates to all foreign governments that any dignitary, irrespective of their ambassadorial or other roles, who willingly collaborates with terrorist forces to orchestrate attacks or inflict harm upon the Repbulic or its citizens forefits the sanctity of diplomatic immunity. In such egregious circumstances, the government of the Republic staunchly asserts its right to detain the implicated dignitary and institute legal proceedings leading to their arrest, with the proper notice sent to the corresponding government.
