Office of the Ambassador

[Sandwich Territories]

I've also been noticing that some people have been against us having consulates in TSP...It seems as though some people think of this region to be a bit of a joke...Any truth on this, or are these just rumors? And yes, I realize we are no TSP....I only have 3 endorsements for crying out loud. But we take the time to update, even though I doubt anyone reads it, but just in case they do....it is there. Although, I feel like we have actually helped the region before, like during the coup, and helping Antariel in other things. It isn't much though; I understand.

I saw that you posted! I've been trying to follow what you guys are up to on the forums, so I knew of most of what was going on

There has been some debate about that in our Assembly. Somebody pointed out that consular policy stated that TSP only swaps embassies/consulates with regions that have at least 15-20 WA nations. I am unsure why, but Kennan was never subjected to that qualification. I am not speaking for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but I find this policy to be short-sighted. I have been arguing fervently that size should not be an automatic disqualification and that even small regions can provide value.

I can also tell you, however, that no one has explicitly suggested that TSP withdraw its consulate from Kennan. As a matter of fact, your region's answer to our call for aid has been cited as evidence that Kennan is a fine region and a friend to TSP.

I hope that this debate will not sour the relationship between our two regions. I understand feelings may be hurt, but I hope you don't take the debate personally.

Oh no, feelings have not been hurt what-so-ever. I was just curious if what I was hearing was true.

Thanks!

I think when we applied for a consulate, it was at a time when this was not enforced, by the way.

I am sad to say that I have been recalled as ambassador to your fine region. Good luck in your future endeavors, Kennan!
