Embassies policy

Embassy policy: We say no to raiders, nazis and embassy collectors. We say yes to those with whom we have an established relationship and common aims.

Dr George’s guidelines provided by Central Kadigan - for discussion.

function:

(1) No raiders nor friends of raiders;
(2) Must have been in existence for at least a month;
(3) At least 10 distinct players (e.g., not one person who has brought along 9+ clones);
(4) No fascists, authoritarians, Nazis, or other bigots AND do not have embassies with such.
(4) De facto rules out embassy whore regions, as some bad regions, like KAISERREICH, actively seek out embassies.

Positive considerations include explicitly interested in philosophy, otherwise academically oriented, otherwise value education. I'm more inclined to accept regions that have a green POV, place a great emphasis on democracy and civil rights, more liberal regions in the sense of liberal arts, i.e., being liberated from preconceptions, and some regions that are just plain fun, like Ulthar was in the day and Pooh Corner now.

I occasionally approved embassies with foreign language regions so long as they meet the above criteria and at least tolerated an English post (almost everyone on NS has at least some proficiency in English). I tend to avoid inactive regions, like perhaps they haven't had a post on their RMB for two weeks or more. When in doubt, don't. An embassy with P115 is a privilege and an honour and is not to be distributed freely.

Sunrise Trail notes circulated previously:

We deny embassy collectors, raiders and fascists.

We accept (if we so choose) applicants with at least three WA members and have been in existence for one month.

Embassy collectors are regions with just a few members whose main purpose is to collect as many embassies as possible. Good examples are The Embassy with 2,846 embassies and Fredonia with 2,870.

Raiders are those who invade other nations.

Fascists includes nazis, francoists, racists.
