We've just gotten our first embassy request! :D

From The Great Britain and Eire. I don't see any reason not to accept, but does anyone know something I don't? Or have thoughts on the principles for accepting/denying embassies? I don't want embassies with regions that support certain hateful views (fascists or Nazis or White Power, for example), but other than that, I have no strong opinions. Thoughts?

I rather learn a little more about the region and why they'd like to create embassies.

What specifically would you like to know, Naybra? If you look at our region page, you'll see the embassy request and you can take a look at the region from there. Let me know if you have remaining questions. The founder is someone that Andro and I have crossed paths with in Renaissance. I can't vouch for him, especially, but that might be why he suggested an embassy.

My view is that they're not associated with anything obviously disreputable, so I don't see any harm in accepting it. We can always cancel the embassy later if they turn out to be unpleasant in some way. But I am open to hearing other views.

After review I am in favor of an embassy. Would we be able to have one in the Islands of The Glorious Freedom?

Mmm...I suppose I should create a forum for the embassies. Provisionally, I've placed it under "politics", with each embassy having its own subforum. That okay?

I say under Ministries, put a sub forum called Department of Foreign Affairs and in that put embassy request and embassies? Might work that way. What do you think?

Or we could have a new Main Forum called Embassies and have our Embassy subforums under that?

Mmm...logically speaking, I think placing it under Foreign Affairs would be best. Crating a whole section for it would cause clutter.

I don't see why not. Do you know someone in charge there who would approve an embassy with us? We are still small, after all. :)

Yes, the Founder has the power. I sent him a TG. They are great friends with TUL and now we're moving, I'd like to keep the friendship.

Sure thing. :)

Has the founder said he's willing to have an embassy with us? I'd just rather not have my first embassy request be rejected. :P

Yes, I just noticed that. I've agreed to have embassies with them too. :)

Barrayar can definitely use more friends in the world. :)

The puppet might support our cause. I apparently caused a heated argument.

May I support our region in the Liemon Conference?

Oops? I'll take a look at what's going on over there.

What is the Liemon Conference?

Also, at some point you should let me/us know what's up with this treaty that TUL wants us to sign. ;)

TIOTGF found the region the Liemon Council, named after their Capitol city. It is an alliance of peace and friendship that I'd like to per take as representative of Barrayar.

An alliance between what powers? And agreeing to what? I think I need to see the details formally written out before joining any alliances, even peace and friendship ones.

It's Tyler's region. Which is surprising, because I didn't even invite him to the region like I said I wanted to. :P

Also... on the fence about joining any sort of conference. I'm fine with you joining or whatever, but if they actually want us to participate in anything, that's up to the Barrayarian government, not them.
