A few days ago I took a look at some of our diplomatic partners, and based on what I saw I'm proposing that we suspend relations with the following regions. By suspending I mean that we keep our embassies in each others regions, just not assign an ambassador to them and occasionally check to see if the regions have become active again.

Ainur - After repeal of treaty - Wintermoot
The FRA - @Chanku
The Coalition of Democratic Nations - No ambassador
Hogwarts - @Emoticonius
The Mirage Isles - No ambassador

Thoughts?

Mirage is 100% dead. Straight up cancel all relations.

Yeah that's reasonable. Although I'm not so sure about the FRA. Since it was shutdown it's only a mutual defense treaty rather than an organization.

Hogwarts is just as dead as Mirage.

I'm now considering suspending assignments to these regions. Any thoughts there? Mentioning the ambassadors of those regions.

Global Right Alliance - @Chanku
Warzone Sandbox - @Sapphiron
Nesapo - @Gerrick

Yeah, Nesapo has declined quite rapidly since its forum went down and its founder, Bodobol, went inactive. It had around 120 nations in August 2016, but now it's down to only 21. I don't know our requirements for keeping embassies, but it'd seem understandable if we did suspend relations.

There aren't any requirements per say...it's just a matter of whether the remaining community is active enough to be worth assigning an ambassador to dispatch things to, of if there's some other reason we should continue to assign an ambassador to the region.

Well, there are about a dozen of them who are quite active and interact with each other pretty much every day, though they mostly just RP as their nations. And they don't really respond to any of the dispatches, which get lost on their RMB as they don't have a forum.

Do you think it's worth keeping things up with them then or no?

Besides serving as a gesture of goodwill towards Chanku, I am not sure of the significance of continuing to send dispatches to Warzone Sandbox.

I mean, it's no trouble for me on a personal level to keep updated. Just figured you had a reason to add it to this list.

I think what it boils down to is whether there's a reason to continue to dedicate an ambassador to those regions when we already have so many regions we have relations with.

When you put it that way, yeah, we can suspend relations. They seem pretty happy in their bubble, which isn't a bad thing, but I don't think they'd ever really interact with us enough for us to keep them on.
