General information
Location
Embassies are located in the national capital city of Kingsmouth and are located near Kingsmouth International Airport, we currently own hangers at the airport which we are willing to rent out for use of private jets and helicopters. Embassies are located near the centre of the city in one area called 'The International Quadrant', surrounding by trees and the detached nature of diplomatic premises gives the area a suburban feel despite its central location.
Normal embassy complex, all are constructed in a traditional style
Larger and more secure diplomatic compounds are available on request
Embassies
As the embassy program is fairly new, all embassies have only been constructed in the last year so expect good quality facilities
Each embassy contains...
1. A spacious drive and an even more spacious garage for the ambassador's car and security vehicles.
2. A security quarters already fitted with security facilities such as changing and canteen/cafeteria plus a state-of-the-art surveillance room and 'safe room' for weapons and diplomatic documents of extreme importance.
3. Fully airconditioned 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.
Colonial jurisdictions of Kington Langley
For nations that have citizens in any of the Overseas Possessions of Kington Langley, the International Quadrant is home to the various representative offices of all colonial jurisdictions apart from the Kingtonian Antarctic Territory. This allows for easy negotiation without the need for a separate diplomatic mission. Alternatively, interested nations may choose to establish a consulate (TG if interested) in any of the Kingtonian Overseas Possessions (apart from the Kingtonian Antarctic Territory) if they feel it would be in the best interests of their citizens or diplomatic negotiations.
Locations
There is currently 30 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.
