BY ROYAL DECREE
THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
The Crownlands of Apocryphi is continuing its successful embassy programme; 'International Outreach', but with some minor tweaks. As a technique of broadening the nation's political arms; finding new interesting nations, trade partners and mutually beneficial allies. If you wish to hold an embassy in Apocryphi and do not already do so via other means, please read the regulations that come with having embassies and consulates (or diplomatic missions) within Apocryphi and thus fill out the form found below. Please note that all embassies other than those of nations of The Commonwealth of Crowns will be located in the district of 'Blackmont Square', in the Cryphite capital of Arche. For more information on our nation, please refer to our extensive factbook which can be found here.
We look forward to becoming acquainted with newly met nations and furthering our relationships with nations standing, thank you for your interest.
The Crown hopes for great things for the future!
TERMS OF DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY
As per Cryphite government legislation, all diplomatic staff will be subject to, and are obliged to understand the following table, detailing the rights of all foreign Ambassadors and staff whilst serving within Apocryphi:
BASIC RULES AND REGULATIONS
Please be reminded that upon establishing an embassy (and consulates), your nation must follow the rules set out here, including extra rules and regulations mentioned in other areas of this agreement. Please realise this is to ensure fair representation of the nation, and happiness to the local population.
- Embassy staff will be limited to the following:
Ambassador (& Close Family)
Diplomatic (20) Security (20) Service (35)
When hiring locally however, the number in each department may rise by +5. - Weapons are limited to handguns, models must be specified. The only permitted body armour are bullet-proof vests.
- Vehicle numbers are restricted to 4. Makes and models must be specified. Diplomatic plates will be provided.
- In order for consulates to be established, a nation must hold an embassy in Arche. Unless under exceptional circumstances.
- Consulate staff for every nation hosted by Apocryphi follow this layout:
Consul (& Close Family)
Diplomatic (4) Security (9) Service (14)
When hiring locally however, the numbers are boosted by +1.
Please note Consulates operate dynamically via local government, thus their locations do not need to be specified, one is available within every major city within Apocryphi, per nation. - All embassies within Arche will be located in 'Blackmont Square', the international embassy district. All regional embassies will be hosted in 'Central District'. The location of your embassy will be specified in a response, along with details of acception or rejection.
- All staff of embassies and consulates will be and are subject to the laws of Apocryphi, unless otherwise stated in the diplomatic immunity clause. Breaches of law will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
- It is within the rights of the government of Apocryphi to expel any and all Ambassadors and Consuls within Apocryphi at any time with no given reason. It is agreed however that no harm will come to individuals if this were to occur.
- Please note that whilst an application may be accepted, the building suggestion may not, resulting in occupation of a pre-existing unspecified residence within the appointed district.
WE ENCOURAGE CONSULATES
Whilst an embassy in the capital is essential for diplomatic meetings, and a representation of your nation within the heart of Apocryphi, not all tourists or visitors from your nation may visit Arche on their trip to Apocryphi. A consulate is a less important outlet for the citizens of nations when holidaying to Apocryphi to seek advice and help when needed, proven highly useful and beneficial to citizens across the globe on a regular basis.
WE ALSO ENCOURAGE LOCAL EMPLOYMENT
Not only will employing Cryphite workers boost the local economy and lower unemployment rates, it will permit an extra 2 staff for embassies and 1 for consulates! What's to grumble about that we ask? Many Cryphites are multi-lingual and aspire to learn new languages, adapting the the increasingly globalized world around us. Most citizens already speak at least two of the following: English, French or German, so in most cases language barriers should be no problem to knock down if you employ some of our hard working dependable citizens!
IF YOU WISH TO ESTABLISH AN EMBASSY
Please understand that by requesting an Embassy (with or without additional Consulates), both your government and all diplomatic staff including Ambassadors agree to the rules and regulations set out in this embassy programme. You also acknowledge that it is to the Cryphite government's discretion whether to accept your embassy, and once accepted if your nation is found in breach of any condition, your embassy (and consulates) may be subject to being expelled from the realm, with personnel who have broken laws subject to the full law of Apocryphi.
