Foreign Relations |Ministry of the Exterior | Kingdom of Eyehasseen
“Representing the Realm. Guarding the Seal. Serving Tea With Tact.”
📘 Overview
The Embassy and Consular Corps is the diplomatic and representational arm of the Ministry of the Exterior, tasked with advancing the Kingdom of Eyehasseen’s interests abroad (both in the physical world and in the imagined territories of other micronations). Its officers carry the dignity of the Crown, the sensibilities of the Realm, and a small trunk of ceremonial ribbons wherever they are dispatched.
The Corps consists of a network of appointed ambassadors, consuls, attachés, and emissarial scribes, each trained in diplomacy, etiquette, and—where necessary—evasive cartography.
Formally organized in 1959, after Eyehasseen’s first official exchange of recognition with the Republic of Lavendria (Unilateral, Unreciprocated, but Heartfelt), the Corps has since served in dozens of ceremonial capacities and even one real meeting with a baffled town clerk.
🌍 Mission & Purpose
The Embassy and Consular Corps is charged with:
- Representing the Kingdom in foreign lands, digital territories, and neutral zones of imaginative diplomacy
- Hosting official receptions, drafting declarations, and arranging exchanges of gifts, medals, and extremely heavy scrolls
- Supporting Eyehasseen citizens abroad (or those who claim to be) through consular assistance, traveler registration, and polite discouragement of scandal
- Maintaining diplomatic archives, recognition treaties, flag exchange registries, and The Book of National Toasts
