Hamilay Embassy Program

[Hamilay]

Please only apply here if you roleplay on the II forums. Roleplaying well on the II forums would also be a plus.

For the purpose of establishing peaceful international relations with the world community, the Federal Republic of Hamilay, after a long hiatus, is revitalising its official embassy exchange program. All nations are invited to establish embassies in Hamilay, and we ask if we may reciprocate in kind by establishing Hamilayan embassies in your capital.

Embassies will be established in our capital of Sayenna, the largest and arguably the most vibrant city in the Federal Republic. In the geographical and cultural heart of Hamilay, and with a growing population of over 120 million people, the capital offers innumerable services for foreign diplomats (and tourists), with two international airports, as well as three more airports for domestic flights only. In the Government District, where Embassy Row and other foreign embassies are located, the Presidential Palace, Houses of Parliament and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade are within walking distance, as well as extensive public transport and area security provided by the most elite unit in Hamilay, the 1st Rifle Division (President's Guards). The main Central Business District of Sayenna directly borders the Government District to the north, with the foreshore of the Sayen River to the south.

A map of the embassy area and plot numbers of embassies is shown below. Buildings of note are in blue, public transportation (subways) in red and grassed areas and water features in green and light blue respectively. Note there is also a monorail line running through the Ministry of Health tower at the north edge of the map, which goes through the CBD and areas of Sayenna north of the river. The Parliament-Chancellery building is located to the west.

The following terms and conditions apply;

1. All standard rights of diplomatic immunity for ambassadors and embassy personnel will be granted as outlined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

2. As per general international consensus, embassies remain sovereign territory of their home country, although are subject to the terms outlined here.

3. The ratio of non-combat embassy staff to embassy security personnel is to be no lower than 4:3. The maximum number of security personnel permitted is 40.

4. (i) Security personnel are permitted to be armed with a sidearm, a service or ceremonial rifle, a ceremonial melee weapon and a submachine gun/personal defence weapon per person.

(ii) With regards to heavier equipment, only rifle grenade launchers and light machine guns (of no greater than standard rifle calibre) are permitted, the total number of which is not to exceed 5. No other heavy weapons are permitted.

(iii) Explosives are prohibited other than grenades designed either for throwing or to be fired out of a rifle grenade launcher.

(iv) The total number of firearms on embassy grounds is not to exceed the number of embassy personnel.

5. The number of vehicles maintained by the embassy is restricted to four ground vehicles which may be armoured and armed with machine guns or grenade launchers, and two transport helicopters, which may both be armed with machine guns only. In addition, one fixed-wing aircraft may be maintained at Sayenna International Airport. The maximum strength of armour on embassy vehicles is not to be able to stop 20mm cannon rounds or heavier weapons. There are no restrictions on the number of unmodified civilian vehicles maintained by the embassy save by local parking regulations.

6. The Federal Republic reserves the right to alter restrictions on nations deemed a security threat to Hamilay by the Federal Intelligence and Security Directorates.

Each standard embassy plot includes a walled six-level complex with automatic gates, underground parking for up to 20 vehicles, a roof garden and helipad, four elevators (two standard, one VIP elevator and one service elevator) and a private hangar at the Diplomatic Terminal of Sayenna International Airport. Nations may either opt to have the empty building and design the interior layout themselves, or have the embassy fully planned and furnished by Hamilay. If the latter is the case, the embassy will be designed as per the standard layout of Hamilayan embassies;

Roof: Helipad, rooftop garden
Fifth Floor: Office and living quarters for ambassador and family
Fourth Floor: Offices and/or living quarters for other high-ranking embassy staff
Third Floor: Offices
Second Floor: Offices and communal dining area for staff
First Floor: Barracks and armoury for security personnel
Ground Floor: Lobby area and reception
Basement: Mantainance and parking area

Embassies have been architect-designed and are furnished with the finest timber furniture in Hamilay, in addition to state-of-the-art electronic equipment. An example embassy is shown below.

Lord Foroughi is a member of the Parthian lower aristocracy, like many other ambassadors. Born in Esfahan Parthia in 1973, he studied in the Esfahan International School, learning English, Latin, French, and graduated in 1991 with a diploma specializing in humanities. He studied afterwards at the University of Esfahan, majoring in Political Sciences and Economics, before joining the foreign services.

[Hamilay]

To all past, current and future applicants for an embassy in the Federal Republic, please note that we have made some small changes to our security policies and others to better reflect a changing global climate and lessons learned in safeguarding the well-being of all residents of the Government District over the years. These policies will not be applied retroactively, but we would nonetheless appreciate it if all nations with embassies in the Republic cooperated with them. There is no need to inform us through these official channels on any changes you subsequently make to your security arrangements; on-site Foreign Ministry personnel will handle this. Thank you for your cooperation.

The Plutocratic Shahdom's application is gratefully accepted. We welcome the chance to strengthen relations with our Gothic friends and allies and look forward to a prosperous and friendly relationship for many years to come. An embassy will be established in Persepolis at the earliest possible opportunity. Dr. Peter Braun (PhD, Linguistics, Nat. Univ. of Hamilay) has been selected for the post of ambassador. Dr. Braun was born in Sayenna in 1963 and has served in numerous government posts, including a short time as Acting Foreign Minister during recent cabinet reshuffles. He is married, no children. We hope his appointment will be received positively in Parthia.

The Republic of Feiti's application is accepted; your embassy has been placed in plot #10, at 19 Embassy Row. Please provide a link to the proper Feitian embassy documentation so we may go about establishing a Hamilayan embassy in the Republic. We look forward to many years of friendly relations between our nations.

The Kingdom of Phillippanoa's application is accepted. We welcome Ambassador Läpson to Hamilay and are confident that the relationship between our nations will be a positive one.
