Embassy Thread of the Greater Holy Empire

[Tagmatium]

By the order of His Imperial Majesty, Kommodos James, the Most Holy, August and Serene Holy Emperor of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium, etc, etc, the Imperial Government of Tagmatium has seen fit to grant plots of lands and buildings to foreign nations’ embassies, consulates, diplomatic offices and legations.

The Greater Holy Empire has deigned to extend this offer to the nations of the world in the hopes of improving diplomatic standing and easing communication between itself and the nations of the world. The times that we live in can often be troubling, and easier communication cannot be something that is turned down. This, in turn, can lead to greater cooperation between nations, as well as economic and cultural exchanges, as trade and tourism is increased between nations.

Therefore, the Imperial Government is providing numerous plots of land or buildings in and around the capital, Tagmatika, in order for embassies, consulates, diplomatic offices and legations to be set up. It is down to the nations’ choosing whether they wish to take over an already-existing building or select a plot of land that will allow them more freedom in the design of the structure. However, any building must conform to Tagmatine building laws, but the Imperial Government is willing to extend some financial aid to those doing this, as a testament to the generosity and magnificence of the Greater Holy Empire.

Security will, of course, be paramount, as the Greater Holy Empire places much on the rules of diplomacy. Due to this, existing buildings being taken over will be provided with security measures including, but not limited to, cameras, metal detectors, thermal detectors and more. These can be supplemented by the nations that are taking them over, although they must not break the restrictions placed upon embassy security guards (noted below).

-Embassies within the Greater Holy Empire are established in the name of promoting relations and mutual cooperation. This means all militaristic actions, or those seen as detrimental to the Imperial Government’s interests will have to be justified and explained by that nation’s representative.
-Nations with embassies, consulate-generals and/or consulates within the Greater Holy Empire who fail to abide by this requirement will be subject to sanctions that the Imperial Government sees fit, depending upon the severity of the slights against Tagmatium.
-All Ambassadors (or equivalent ranking diplomats) are granted diplomatic immunity.
This is rendered invalid if the individual concerned is guilty, or believed to be guilty, of particularly serious crimes. The Imperial Government retains the right to judge what these particular crimes are.
-Diplomatic immunity is not granted to other diplomats, apart from the Deputy Ambassador (or equivalent ranking diplomat) when the Ambassador is not appointed or unavailable.
-The plot, building or both in which the embassy is established upon is under the sovereign rule of the Greater Holy Empire, however, is owned by the nation that established the embassy.
-This means that the land will be maintained by the owner of the embassy, similar to private properties. Once the embassy or similar has been established, the Imperial Government will not, ordinarily, contribute to its upkeep.
-Once diplomatic staff leaves the grounds of the diplomatic building, they are expected to respect laws and property of the Greater Holy Empire and its citizens.
-This means that weapons are not permitted outside the grounds of the embassy building without being licensed for public ownership by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
-Uncertified private ownership of weapons within the Greater Holy Empire is a crime, and those found carrying them will be subject to the full extent of Tagmatine law.
-If these conditions aren’t met, then the Greater Holy Empire holds the right to decline any embassy request or eject an embassy from its territory.

[The Batorys]

As noted by the Greater Holy Empire, in these troubling times, it is best to ease communication as much as is possible, so as to encourage friendly relations.

Therefore, the Batory Empire, in its well-known and unparalleled magnanimity, would be pleased to graciously accept Tagmatium's request, and place an embassy in the Greater Holy Empire's capital city, Tagmatika.

Owing to Tagmatium's and the Batory Empire's status as allies in the League of Imperial Nations, standing for the triumph of civilization, order, etc., the Empress has seen fit to send her twin children Zsanett and Moric as the Batory clan's official representation in the Greater Holy Empire. Both are well-versed in statecraft, working until now in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Empire would be willing to use a pre-existing building for the embassy if one of suitable size and property configuration (privacy is a must) can be found. Condition of the building is immaterial, as the Empire would be completely remodeling it anyway to our exacting specifications.

- Ambassador's Family (if any): Virag and Vidas Batory (children of Zsanett and Moric)
- Are there any health or security issues local authorities should be alerted of? The ambassadors and their family are all moroii, as are some of the staff. Don't panic. We will be importing the necessary supplies, if that is legal.

- Security Staff: 20
- Service Staff: ~50
- Will you be hiring locally? No
- Number and Type of Weapons: 20 smgs, 22 pistols, various blades, including several axes, and swords (mostly ceremonial), and two war brands (mostly ceremonial).
- Number and Type of Vehicles: Two ground vehicles, one helicopter.
Miscellaneous
- Would you like us to establish an embassy, consulate usl, and/or consulate, in your nation? That would be quite acceptable, though there are some important considerations.
- Do you have any special requests? Not particularly, though reasonable amounts of privacy would be nice during off hours unless it's something very important. For our comfort, and for Tagmatines' sanity.
- Would you like to enter into trade/treaty talks? Since we are already allied, not unless the Greater Holy Empire had something additional in mind.
- Is there any additional information we should know? The embassy will include a small pagan shrine for the staff. We hope this is not a problem.
- Please declare any drugs, alcohol, animals or plants you are bringing into the country: Cannabis, opium, coca, absinthe, whiskey, brandy, various wines and ales. Two dogs, five orchids. We will also need Tagmatine landscapers to put in a hedge in the grounds and some other plants, to make it look nice.
Please note: depending on the special request, there is the chance that it might be denied.

Certainly, Zsanett and Moric look forward to a stay in Tagmatika, and we hope for many years of pleasant diplomatic relations.
