Foreign Relations of J Andres

=Opening the Doors with SPEED= In early 1991, 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.

'''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.

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 also agree to the terms of the Subsidiary Independent States Territory Establishment Regulations (SISTER).

Following these opening of embassies, the Republic of Turkey approached the Foreign Ministry about their own embassy in Endor Cuidad.

No time was wasted in approving area on Embassy Circle for a PDSAR embassy, and the Embassy in PSDAR opened with much fanfare. After the opening of the embassy, J Andres assisted the PDSAR in an internal crisis. J Andres constructed a large military installation called Fort Benjamin.

Promised Land Ambassador to J Andres: S. K. Wheeler J Andres Ambassador to Promised Land: Peter Schuler Location of Promised Land Embassy: Fourteen Embassy Circle, Endor Cuidad Location of Promised Land Consulate: Porto Pacis Location of J Andres Embassy: New Jerusalem

In 1993, President Benjamin Richards launched the Macacan Conflict which resulted in J Andres gaining a colony in Australia known as Porto Pacis. Porto Pacis served as a naval base, port, and colony following the conclusion of the war and eventually the population rose to about four million. However, with the former Macacan Empire destroyed, older superpowers began to claim larger and larger portions of Austalia and the Promised Land was one of these superpowers. Eventually the Promised Land claimed to have jurisdiction over the J Andres territory and in 2003, newly elected President Adrik Annan decided it would be best to have a formal conference to formalize the borders of Porto Pacis.

The conference took place in the Royal Retreat in Porto Pacis. The conference resulted in a split of the territory, with J Andres keeping a small portion to maintain as a naval base, trading port, with additional room for supporting urban areas. As per the agreement, an embassy was opened in both capitals, as well as a consulate in Porto Pacis. Peter Schuler, the former ambassador to Kashlinkov was assigned to the Promised Land. J Andres eventually ended up ceeding all of Porto Pacis to the Promised Land in the Great Cession of 2007. With Porto Pacis gone, Mickey Bethesda wanted to cement the relationship with the two nations and negotiated an optional defense pact, the "If You Dug a Hole Through the Center of the Earth Treaty" in late June 2009.

The Foreign Affairs Department was eager to open diplomatic relations with the Tahoe Republic as Tahoe was one of the major players on the North American Continent and a stable diplomatic relationship would be one of the best ways to ensure continental peace and unity. J Andres soon requested for an embassy in the capital of the Republic as well.

Bethesda served as Foreign Affairs Minister under Josef Mercton, but was replaced during the Communist Red Revolt. In 2003, when Mickey Bethesda was promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs, he could no longer fill the post of Ambassador to Transvaal. He was replaced by Prince Richard.

Once J Andres made the shift to Atomic Energy at the beginning of 1997, Endor Petrofuel Processing had little work to do domestically within the borders of J Andres. So they searched for contracts abroad. One of these contracts came from the United States of North America. Endor Petrofuel established a headquarters in Yellowknife. The USNA Division of Endor Petrofuel currently has 6,000 employees on its payroll, including 1,000 J Andres citizens. These citizens working abroad, asked the J Andres Department of Foreign Affairs for an embassy to make the whole process easier for them. The J Andres foreign ministry worked closely with the USNA to establish Embassies in both capital cities, as well as a consulate constructed within the Endor Petrofuel Division Headquarters in Yellowknife. The embassies and consulate buildings made it much easier for the J Andres workers to obtain identification papers and remain in touch with home.

Shortly after, the Grand Duchy of Finland became known as the Republic of Finland. The Finland Diplomatic Mission was ended in 1996 after the nation ceased to exist.

Joysey
Subsidiary Independent State (SISTER Nation) Joysey Ambassador to J Andres: No Formal Ambassador J Andres Ambassador to Joysey: Edmund Schuler Location of Joysey Embassy: Eight Embassy Circle, Endor Cuidad Location of J Andres Embassy: Trenton During the Presidency of Alex Miller, J Andres drifted slightly into obscurity to the international scene. Some citizens of the Eastern Hurlian District became displeased with the governments inactivity and sought to create their own localized government. The J Andres government failed to take notice of this change until the "Joysey Rebels" began to invade Staten Island to increase their territory. Alex Miller quickly put a halt to their advance and worked with Foreign Affairs Minister Adrik Annan to draft a new treaty that allowed territory sharing and allowed future states to establish themselves within J Andres Borders. The answer came in the form of the SISTER treaty, which allowed exactly that. Joysey became the first state to apply for the new Subsidiary Independent State Status and its request was granted in mid-June 2002. The Diplomatic Mission with Joysey was terminated in 2003 after the Subsidiary State government dissolved and the territory was fully brought back under complete J Andres jurisdiction. The Joysey Embassy at Eight Embassy Circle was reassigned for the new Diplomatic Mission to Franzharia and Ambassador Edmund Schuler was reassigned to that diplomatic mission as well.

Kashlinkov
Kashlinkov Ambassador to J Andres: No Ambassador J Andres Ambassador to Kashlinkov: Peter Schuler Location of Kashlinkov Embassy: No Embassy Established Location of J Andres Embassy: New Novograd As Adrik Annan continued to expand J Andres' foreign relations, he applied for an embassy in the Norden Vieren nation of The Federal Republic of Kashlinkov. Kashlinkov also quickly established the embassy for J Andres within the capital city. The Diplomatic Mission with Kashlinkov was terminated in 2003 when the nation ceased to exist. Ambassador Peter Schuler was recalled and reassigned to the Promised Land diplomatic mission.
