Reikjisandabahti Aljakunjaizo Waihte
Esteemed Guests;
In the name of Friþureiks VIII, King of Gaptaland, I extend to you my warmest welcome to our great nation, in the spirit of mutual respect and good will between brothers and sisters. With amity in our hearts, we open our capital city to you, that you may build embassies to represent your various homelands in the eyes of the Gaptish people and government.
As a small tip to incoming ambassadors — the official language, Gaptish, can be learnt through an online training course. Alternatively, German and English are commonly used in the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the ability to speak them may well be an acceptable substitute. Failing these, translation staff may be hired for a reasonable wage.
With regards to amenities, our capital city of Agram is fully outfitted with modern hospitals, public transportation, et cetera. With regards to security, you may place your trust in us — our police force is fully equipped to handle any threat you may perceive. Embassy buildings and accommodations will be established within reach of such amenities.
And so, that is all which must be said. And, again, I bid you the warmest welcome to the Kingdom of Gaptaland.
