NS Japanese Embassy Policy

As of 16 August 2022, Japan has enacted the following embassy policy, with great inspiration from its sister region, Iwaku:

In order for an embassy request to be considered, regions:

• must have a population of at least 10 nations

• must not be tagged as fascist

• must have been founded at least 30 days prior to the sending of the request

• must not be an embassy collector region

• must not be a puppet storage region
  

In addition, an embassy will be retracted if:

• the regional population dips below 10 nations

• the region becomes tagged as fascist

• the region becomes inactive

• one of Japan's allies or sister regions deems the embassy necessary to close
  

Embassies may be spared from closure if:

• the region is one of Japan's sister regions or allies

• the regional community has had significant interaction with Iwaku and dips below 10 nations

• the region has significant value to Japan
  

In all cases, special lenience exists for real-life regions with reasonable significance to Japan. However this will not persuade against glaring shortcomings in the above policy.

The Japanese government, furthermore, reserves the right to close any embassy at any time for any reason not included following a period of internal discussion, should such action be deemed necessary.
