Selene is willing to open embassies and establish partnerships with regions that meet our minimum requirements. Our partners do not need to be roleplay regions, but they must share our values and follow the process set out in this dispatch.

We will reject embassy requests from collectors or from regions that send requests without prior communication.

We will consider embassy requests and diplomatic overtures from all regions that meet the following conditions:

• Contact our Founder or Foreign Councillor prior to sending an embassy request, explaining why they wish to have diplomatic relations.

• Reject any and all bigoted, hateful, or otherwise offensive views.

• Refrain from embassy collecting.

• Have a minimally active community, defined as having at least one Message Board post per day on average.

What do we consider "bigoted, hateful, or otherwise offensive" views?

We reject any support of tolerance of any of the following:

• Nazism, Neo-Nazism, and the Third Reich, including its views, policies, and actions; this includes any denial or equivocation on the historicity and scope of the Holocaust.

• Facism and other totalitarian ideologies.

• Homophobia, transphobia, or any other view that denigrates the LGBT community or results in the discrimination or denigration of others on account of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

• Misogyny, sexual harassment, or any other view or behaviour that rejects the equal worth and dignity of people regardless of any difference as to their sex or gender.

• Xenophobia or any other offensive, aggressive, or dismissive treatment of people on account of their nationality, ethnicity, culture, or country of origin; this includes the refusal to reject unfair stereotypes or characterisations.

• Discrimination or mistreatment on account of religion or the lack thereof, but this does not preclude the legitimate and civil criticism of religions or the actions of the members of any religion.

• Racism, white supremacy, or any offensive treatment on account of race, including the denial of the effects of racism over past events and the existence of racism in modern society.

• Bullying and mistreatment for any reason not included in this list.

When would an embassy be closed?

Embassies may be closed under any of the following circumstances:

• Mutual agreement.

• Failure to meet the requirements for an embassy as listed above.

• Order by the Founder or the Privy Council.
