OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION
To the Users of the multiverse,
The User of Insulamia has decided that this embassy programme makes not sense in Their envisionment of a better and cohesiver "Forumic Canon"; the workings of which shall be explained further in an upcoming factbook. Therefore, They have decanonised this thread and have left me do the dirty work in this process.
If your nation established an embassy in Insulamia in this thread, all of the equipment and personnel brought along with the diplomatic mission have been safely returned to appropriate locations within your country. Any memory of this canon of Insulamia in any being of the vast multiverse has been erased. The world of this canon has been frozen and archived, and the souls that inhabited it have been sent to Alliluya to be cared for, and, perhaps, reincarnated.
The Insulamian embassy in Calomarde, Equai has been vacated. Any Equaians who may have been employed at the embassy have been released, with their memories of the embassy also erased.
As of the compilation of this communication, the Forumic Canon includes the interactions with East Plate's Ministry of Timeless Affairs. Therefore, the letter from Minister Theodore Campbell will be duplicated into the Forumic Canon, albeit without the application form.
Please update your records in accordance with the information above. But think not that this is the last opportunity your nation shall have to communicate with the Government of Insulamia. I am sure that, in due course, the Insulamians of the new Forumic Canon shall again attempt to establish communications with the multiverse.
Signed,
The Puppetmaster of Insulamia

On 7 July 2021, a copy of our nation was created and transported to the multiverse, leaving two Insulamias - the "canonical" Insulamia, undisturbed by the forces of the forum, and the "multiversal" Insulamia, able to interact freely with other nations of the multiverse. We, here, are of course the "multiversal" Insulamia. For a long while, we did not pursue formal diplomatic relations with multiversal nations, but by launching this embassy programme, we hope to commence better connections with this strange new world.
Applications are now open to all. Fill in the form attached at the end of the post, and we hope that your nation and Insulamia are able to forge helpful and friendly relations.
Your nation's embassy
Your nation's embassy can be located in one of two cities, either Whitecastle, our official capital city, or Franclinton, our de facto capital city. In Franclinton, our Government will let your nation lease a plot of land with a pre-built embassy in five year periods, each at an approximate cost of NS$100,000. In Whitecastle, a plot of land will be leased to you by our Government for free (also in periods of five years), however, the embassy building must be constructed with your nation's own funds.
Diplomatic immunity
Insulamia is a party to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. We will provide diplomatic missions with the immunities and protections specified in this document, nothing more, nothing less.
Requirements and restrictions
Asides from the protections mentioned above, diplomatic missions must conform to Insulamian law, whether federal, provincial, or local. This entails several main restrictions which may differ from other nations' rules, so these must be considered carefully.
- Diplomatic missions in Franclinton, cannot have firearms, bombs, or any weapon similarly or more destructive, even for security purposes. However, Whitecastle missions are allowed firearms, but only when approved by the city council.
- Force is not to be used on Insulamian citizens unless they are using, or have a high potential to use, equal or greater force. Even so, each case of violence against Insulamian citizens by your government must be reported to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where they will be thoroughly investigated.
- Many species of flora and fauna are prohibited from being brought into Insulamia, to preserve local ecosystems. It is best to not bring any organic material into the country.
- Diplomatic missions are not allowed to hire Insulamian citizens unless they are worker-owned and the Insulamian citizens have a democratic say in the operation of the mission. Considering that this does not apply to most nations' diplomatic missions, we will allow our citizens to be hired by missions indirectly, through our Federal Government. Your nation must pay at least NS$34.28 per Insulamian worker per hour, but this amount can increase for more skilled andor labour intensive jobs.
Miscellaneous information
- The maximum number of foreign persons that a diplomatic mission can bring to Insulamia under diplomatic visas (this includes non-diplomatic foreign staff, like security guards, chefs, family of ambassadors, etc.) is usually thirty (30). However, this can be negotiated in special circumstances.
- Nations are discouraged from driving in convoys on Insulamian roads, though they can bring multiple vehicles to the country.
- Diplomatic staff will be provided with healthcare in Insulamia, though the costs will not be covered by any Insulamian government.
