Foreign Relations of J Andres

=Opening the Doors with SPEED= In early July 2007, Adrik Annan helped to develop SPEED, the Standard Protocols for Embassy Establishment Declaration, which permited the construction of Embassies within J Andres. The goal of the declaration was to allow J Andres to manage international foreign affairs on its own instead of always through the NADC.

SPEED
The Commune of the Nation of J Andres Resolution 2007-0102 Standard Protocols for Embassy Establishment Declaration

Article I. Short Title This legislation may be referred to as the Standard Protocols for Embassy Establishment, or “SPEED.”

'''Article II. Embassy Establishment''' A request for an embassy in J Andres must be approved by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Once approved by the Minister, the foreign nation must agree to all terms outlined in Article III. Once foreign nation signs “SPEED” then they shall be granted land to have an embassy constructed.

'''Article III. Terms of Establishment''' Embassy is established according to the Standard Protocols stated in “SPEED” and in good hopes of fostering continued understanding, peace, and improved relations between the two nations. Established Ambassador and J Andres officials may request an audience with one another at any time and this request should be granted to the fullest capability.

Section I. Embassy Staff Foreign Entity may send one ambassador to their embassy. Embassy personnel are never to exceed fifty persons; this includes the ambassador, diplomats, aides, assistants, security, and all else not mentioned. Security staff of the embassy may possess small firearms (handguns) while on embassy territory. Foreign nationals may not possess firearms when outside embassy territory.

'''Section II. Extraterritoriality of Embassies''' Embassies are considered to be land of foreign entity. J Andres personnel may only enter Embassy ground with permission from the established ambassador.

'''Section III. Diplomatic Immunity and Right to Expel''' Only the established ambassador from the foreign entity may receive diplomatic immunity. The government of J Andres reserves the right to expel any foreign national from J Andres territory. Said expelled nationals may reside in the embassy or may be transported out of J Andres. Any foreign nationals without diplomatic immunity may be prosecuted to the full extent of J Andres law.

'''Section IV. Diplomatic Vehicles''' Foreign entity is permitted to bring three vehicles and one helicopter to J Andres. All vehicles must be properly registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Section V. Revocation of Embassy and Diplomatic Rights The nation of J Andres reserves the right to close the embassy at any time. If the embassy is closed in this manner, all diplomatic staff will be peacefully returned to foreign entity via secured jet in a peaceful manner.

'''Article VI. Land Claims''' In a small world with numerous nations it is understandable that borders will cross and that territories may be considered under the control of both countries. Both nations recognize that each nation has the authority to rule within its borders, even where they overlap. Any nation that opens an embassy with J Andres, recognizes the land claims of J Andres. If an independent nation falls within the borders of J Andres, it must recognize that J Andres has shared domain over the territory.
