Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea

The Arcerion Embassy to Urcea was initially founded as a consulate in 1824 following the nation's growth in food and raw material exports. Established for the purpose of providing consular staff to oversee trade, tariffs, and other mercantile services, it gradually expanded over time until 1855, by which point Arcerion had become one of Urcea's largest trading partners in Crona, and the largest exporter of goods to Urcea in South Crona.

The embassy grew in size and staff throughout the First and Second Great Wars, where Arcerion was a major partner in Crona and one of Urcea's key partners in the Cronan Theatre of War. The embassy continued to grow to its current size of over one hundred staff, where it processes visas, manages trade negotiations on behalf of major Arcer corporations, and consistently hosts major fundraisers and benefits for Arcer interest groups in Urcea. The embassy is located in Urceopolis' major diplomatic quarter, Ardot, where it also houses the Ambassador's official residence as well as staff quarters.

As part of increased Arcer engagements in Levantia, the Embassy sees itself as one of only two fully established diplomatic posts in Levantia, with a sister office in Burgundie. It deals with the thousands of Urcean citizens, business people, military and defense officials that go to Arcerion, as well as the requirements for visas and special permits and permissions. Arcerion also imports a fairly sizeable amount of tech and finished goods from Urcean markets, including large finished pieces of engineering equipment such as industrial engines and large pieces of reactor equipment for Arcerion's burgeoning nuclear power industry. Urcea also works closely with the Arcer Embassy due to the NSTA's reliance on Arcer grain and staple food products such as wheat, barley, rye, and corn.

Kiravia

Arcer Embassy to Kiravia
Arcerion High Commission to Kiravia
General information
Town or city	Kartika
Country	Kiravia
Construction started	19th Century
Completed	1899 (Consulate) 1934 (Consulate Closure) 1986 (Embassy Re-established)

Arcerion's Embassy in Kiravia has a long and tenured history in the Capital, Kartika, despite a closure during the socialist overtaking of Kiravia during the 20th century. The initial establishment of the Arcer embassy began as a small consular office in Kartika to acknowledge the growing ties between Arcerion and Kiravia. Kiravia's colonies in South Crona, Paulastra and The Cape both represented significant colonial interests to Kiravia, and with Arcerion as an Anglic-dominant nation bordering these colonies, there was a required need for increased collaboration between them. The establishment of the 1899 Consulate was mainly to ensure that the Kiravian government had no major concerns over the rapidly growing and industrializing Arcerion.

By the turn of the century, the consular staff were mainly dealing with the political fallout of the First Great War, which found Kiravia and Arcerion on opposite sides. The Washakaran Front, which saw Arceiron and Paulastra embattled against eachother, strained the relationship between the Kiravia and Arcerion, which almost saw the closure of consular services, however due to the extant Kiravian colonies in Crona it still required a Consul-General to manage the relations of their colonies and Arcerion as it grew into the Indigenous centre of Crona.

By the end of the First Great War, relations between Arcerion and Kiravia resumed, and the Consulate was re-staffed to pre-war levels. Kiravia's internal political turmoil that resulted in the Kiravian Remnant being forced onto Æonara, however created a new age for the Embassy. Consular staff were ordered to withdraw from the Kiravian Union and the new socialist government, and set up out of the Grand Hotel, in Sirana. Then Consul-General Daniel Stephenson worked to maintain relations and coordinate the diplomatic and military assistance to Kiravia as part of Arcerion's growing policy of anti-socialism and commitment to fighting communism. Concerns over the Kiravian Union attempting to invade North Crona as well as subjugate the Kiravian Remnant. Consul-General Stephenson would help re-establish a full Embassy with the Kiravian Federacy's establishment in 1984.

The future growth plan for Arco-Kiravian relations centres around the extensive economic ties between Arcerion and Kiravia's colonies, deconflicting the Albion Sea Gas Fields as part of Arcerion's exclusive economic zone, and the doubling of Defense Attache staff for permanent postings as Kiravia and Arcerion work more closely to establish defense ties as part of Kiravia's plan to reform its defense and security forces in the late 2020s and early 2030s.

United Republic of Alstin

Arcer High Commission in Alstin
Arcerion Embassy in Alstin, United Republic of Alstin
General information
Town or city	Alstin
Country	Alstin
Construction started	19th Century
Completed	1801 (Consulate) 1848 (Embassy)

Alstin and Arcerion have had a long history of close diplomatic relations, due to their shared cultural and linguistic heritage, as well as their respective shared areas of responsibility and influence in Southern Crona. The two countries also have had a significant impact on the cultures of many other countries, as they are the two main nodes of the Ænglosphere, with a combined population of just under 400 million in 2028. Arcerion and Alstin collaborate on many areas, but notably the sharing of intelligence, military cooperation, overland trade (via the Arcerion National Railway Service) and Mercantile Trade.

Arcerion and Alstin are both members of the Cronan Security and Trade Union (CSTU), meaning there is close economic ties between the two, with Alstin being the most important non-bordering Cronan trade partner for Arcerion throughout the 2000s. Arcer steel and grain consistently are found to be imported six times more likely to Alstin, and Alstinian ships are only rivalled by Burgundie for the volume of exports taken afar to Levantia and Sarpedon.

Arcerion's embassy in Alstin is the oldest continuously operating foreign diplomatic mission for Arcerion. Opening in 1801, it first managed relationships between two Ængle colonies, as Alstin and Arcerion shared a common heritage. The relationship grew over the following two centuries as Alstin pursued greater influence over the Sea of Orixtal and Arcerion greater security in the wake of the Fourth Bush War. The two continued to share growing ties as Alstin's influence grew onto mainland Crona with its territories and dependencies such as Betlands, Ehemo, and Pankara.

The two regularly work together regarding economic issues, diplomatic crisis (such as the Pankaran Referendum Crisis) and military affairs. Alstin has consistently worked with the Arcer consular staff and ambassador to de-escalate tensions between Arcerion and The Cape, as there is no formalized diplomatic presence between the two. This includes the failed attempt to form a unified Southern Cronan diplomatic Union through the South Cronan Congress, which was replaced by the CSTU shortly thereafter.

Arcer Embassy to Stenza

Country	Stenza
Construction started	19th Century
Completed	2000 (Consulate) 2019 (Embassy)

Republic of Stenza

Arcer-Stenzan relations did not see a major growth until the 21st century, and the thawing of Arcer relations in the Polynesian Sea as part of an outreach to explore new foreign markets. The increase in engagement centered on the Arcer Consulate in Stenza, which had roughly a dozen staff by the late 1990s and mostly focused on assisting with permits, tariff law, and Arcer imports coming to Stenza. The true increase in diplomatic relations began with the fundamental shift in internal politics experienced by Stenza in 2022, with the major internal political and economic reform that the nation was undergoing. At the time, Arcerion was one of the few true stable democracies in Crona and saw an opportunity to expand their influence into the Polynesian.

The current embassy, constructed in 2019, was finished within a few years and is one of the most modern buildings in Rakahanga, the nation's capital. It can house several hundred diplomatic staff as Stenza has rapidly become a key Arcer foreign partner in diplomatic and military engagements. The embassy also hosts one of the largest cadres of Arcerion Defense Attache staff, with a dozen officers from various branches, predominantly from the Arcer Army and Royal Arcerion Naval Service, all working to bring military relationships closer together, as evidenced by the annual naval exercises in the Polynesian Sea and airborne exercises with exchanges of Airborne Jump Wings.

The Embassy was a key partner for organizing a major piece of legislation in international trade, the 2026 Banana-Grain Agreement. The Arcer Minister for Finance, the Parliamentary Treasurer, and the Foreign Secretary of Arcerion all worked to establish a bulk goods exchange wherein Arcer grain and staple agricultural products would receive favourable free trade permissions for the importation of their goods into Stenza, and Arcerion would in turn accept exotic and tropical foods (such as Bananas, the legislation's namesake) in return. It was the first major international trade deal brokered by Stenza since the Republic reformed in 2022.

Arcerion continues to steadily grow the embassy and the accompanying consular services it provides, and it is one of the three largest Arcer embassies in Ixnay. The Ambassador also looks after many aspects of Arcerion's Southern Diplomatic Strategy, and which incorporates dealings with the Loa Republic, Pelaxia, and Cartadania, all of which do not have established, permanent consular services. The Government of Arcerion announced that the embassy will increase in size by 2030, and there was an additional £22.6 Billion Arcer Pounds earmarked for development in Stenza to assist with the increase in infrastucture spending and agricultural production for the Polynesian country.

Arcer Embassy to Burgundie
Arcerion Embassy in Vilauristre, Burgundie

Town or city	Vilauristre
Country	Burgundie
Construction started	19th Century
Completed	1811 (Consulate) 1823 (Embassy)

The Grand Thalattocratic Republican Principality of Burgundie and her Commonwealth

The Arcer Foreign Office's oldest embassy is to Burgundie, beginning as the Arcer Consular Office in 1811. The special economic relationship between the two nations was mutually founded in commercial trade, shipbuilding, and the importing of foodstuffs and Arcer gin. Burgundie's large maritime presence in the Polynesian, Songun, and Malentine Seas meant that the Arcer Consul-General, and later the Acer Ambassador to The Grand Thalattocratic Republican Principality of Burgundie and her Commonwealth was one of they key senior appointments in the Arcer Foreign Office and continues to be one of the major diplomatic assignments in Arcerion. Arcer Ambassadors that are appointed as the Ambassador to Burgundie have traditionally gone on to serve as the Foreign Secretary, Deputy Prime Minister, or take senior governmental leadership roles in Governorates, such as former Ambassador Amanda Hart, who after serving as the Burgoignac Ambassador went on to serve as the Lieutenant-Governor for Moorden Governorate.

The current Arcer Embassy is located in central Vilauristre, the capital of Burgundie, in the original building from the 1823 construction. It has been expanded and remodeled over the years, however its current size reflects the significant economic relationship between the two nations. As one of the two embassies in Levantia, it has smaller consular offices throughout Burgundie, to support the significant amount of Arcer citizens that travel to the nation for vacation and tourism, or for foreign business.

The embassy also has formal relationships with major companies such as Arcerion Steel Corporation, and the Arcerion Oil and Gas Company. This is partly due to the large volume of Arcer natural gas and liquid crude oil products that are imported by Burgundie, as well as the significant amount of Arcer steel from Easthampton that is used for shipbuilding by Burgundie's shipyards.

Arcer Embassy to Porlos
Arcerion High Commission in Pacuí, Porlos

Country	Porlos
Construction started	19th Century
Completed	1922 (Consulate) 1939 (Embassy)

Democratic Porlosi Republic

The Arcer High Commission in the Porlosi Capital of Pacuí is the only Arcer Embassy to an Indigenous nation in South Crona. Consular services were established in Porlos shortly after the turn of the century, during the Interwar Period and the expansion of Arcer interests throughout Southern Crona. The embassy went into full operation as a major diplomatic post shortly after Porlosi independence in 1938. It has continuously operated in Porlos despite significant turmoil in the country due to economic depression, vast wealth inequality, political instability, and notably the Porlosi Civil War. It also doubly serves as a major military headquarters for the numerous Arcer Armed Forces operations that occur in the neighbouring nations of Kelekona, Istrenya, Malentina, and Telokona.

The High Commission in Porlos regularly handles a large amount of visa applications to work in Arcerion by Indigenous peoples. Due to the mineral reserves and natural gas fields in the nation, it remains a major economic centre for Arcer foreign business and investment. As such, it consistently sees visit from senior diplomatic officials in Arcerion, such as the Minister of Finance and the Parliamentary Treasurer. Arcer foreign investment has steadily risen since 2000, and wth the state of Porlos often verging on a failed state, Arcer investment is one of the few consistent forms of economic stability available to the country.

Following the Istrenyan Crisis, Arcerion withdrew its Embassy from Porlos' Southern neighbour. The cessation of diplomatic relations meant that Arcer had no major diplomatic presence on the Southwestern Cronan Peninsula, and following the end of the conflict, the Arcer Foreign Office prepared a new diplomatic strategy for South-West Crona. The Porlosi Embassy had been constructed and operating for almost two decades by the end of the Istrenyan Civil War, and saw a renaissance as it grew to accommodate the needs of Arcerion in South West Crona.

Former Diplomatic Missions

Istrenyan Embassy

Main Article: Istrenyan Crisis

Arcerion had an embassy (Karaba) and consular services (Iraso) prior to the outbreak of the conflict. However, the scale of the conflict was sparked with the assault on a pair of Arco diplomats, and the eventual growth of an insurgent communist rebellion, followed by Arcer military intervention. The result was the eventual collapse of the 20th century Indigenous nation's economy and society, and while the Populist Government managed to hold out and maintain its grip on power, Arcerion severed political ties in 1961 with the closure of both offices. The Ambassador to Istrenya however recommended that Porlos be chosen as a secondary option for the main Indigenous nation to receive Arcer diplomatic services.
