Embassy Thread (ZCFD, Miokalia)

[miokalia]

This is a thread where you can detail your embassy in Miokalia's capital district.
Most of the embassies are along a specific avenue. Some of them are on another because of when they were established and because they didn't want to move.
Embassies in Miokalia are treated as a land-grant. Which means that the lot is technically your soil unless you do something ridiculous with or from it (ridiculous is defined as: exploding ordinance on it, drilling for oil, releasing sarin gas, testing nuclear weapons, enriching uranium or any lathanide/actinide for that matter, operating a kinky sex dungeon, etc...)
There is a limit to the height of a structure there which is 45 stories (which is actually wildly lenient compared to most policies RL. This is in the middle of a city so this doesn't look out-of-place.)

(Also: Using the miracle of hydraulics and very-high torque transmissions, lots may be moved if need be.)

In terms of what kind of buildings, here's a Q/A:


I want a castle!
> Ok

I want a monolithic, brutalist concrete box!
> Ok. Seeing as this city was mostly built between 1950 and 1970, you'll fit in great.

I want a victorian palace
> Ok. Your building will improve the diversity and character of the city.

I don't want YOUR plumbing or your conspiracy-fueling flouridated water
> Ok, you don't have to be connected to the mains.

I don't want indoor plumbing!
> O... k... Well, technically, this is okay. But you have to have a septic tank and sewer service: no digging latrines due to city code.

I want to keep a garden of plants not allowed by customs
> Not if they make seeds or can reproduce.

A zoo?
> Indoors only. Must not be on the *Kill on sight* list.

Are...
> Yes, Wraithwolves are on that list.

What about...
> No, Reshans are not on that list.

Can I have a moat?
> If you have to ask, the answer is yes.

Seriously?
>Yes

With 12-molar Hydroflouric Acid?
>Ok. No. Even if you did: the acid would eat through the bottom and drain-out and compromise the foundation of your embassy and that would be bad.

What about Hydrochloric Acid?
>No, Same reasons.

Vinegar?
> Okay. Fine. You can have a moat of vinegar. As long as it is under 8% acidity and Balsamic, certified imported from Modena. Happy?

Can I have a giant offensive statue?
> Probably.

Can it be intentionally directly offensive to you?
> No, because it will be destructively vandalized and the cops won't care. So just don't.

I want tanks
> Armored vehicles have to be registered. You can have as many armored cars, vans, etc... as you want, but they have to be registered. Tanks are no... unless you pay the right politician for an exception.

Size (employees, ambassadors, security, etc... total. Do not name proportions of these, just the grand total): 5500

Describe your building: A large compound that surrounds a flakturm L.
Tall and imposing, it is surrounded by several smaller, block-like buildings (including a greenhouse, barracks, and mess hall) and a large motor pool.

The entire compound is surrounded by a moat that is filled with piranhas and other types of fish (fishing not allowed save by embassy personnel.) and chainlink fence (several signs in several languages warn of barbed wire, guard dogs, and proclaiming that the Accallian Royal Guards have permission to hit people that try and screw with them like American tourists do to the guards at Buckingham Palace, although pictures are ok, just don't, like, try and hit or poke them or anything.) No anti-aircraft artillery, just the structure, although the guards may have machine guns within the interior.

It also has extensive bunkers and hydroponics bays, and also powers some of it's own needs through the use of solar power. The grounds, while they could be said to be spartan, also have several gardens and trees planted, and many of the pets and guard animals can be seen lounging about here when they aren't doing drills with the sophonts.

Address: (Embassies are all geographically along two avenues, but the name of the avenue may change in front of each building (because of crazy address conventions)): Revwinn Drive
