Foreign Office

The Foreign Office is the ministry that deals with the international relations that the Lusophone Commonwealth has with the rest of the world.

It is one of the ministries with the most powers, since one of the Commonwealth's portions is its relations with other countries.

Since 1789, when the world changed, the embassies of the then Portugal in other countries here abolish, ​​which caused some stress for a month, with papers being sent to Lisbon and others to the new embassies, while the Luís Pinto de Sousa Coutinho, Viscount of Balsemão, Prime Minister between 1780 and 1806, decided to send new ambassadors to the various embassies, being the first ambassador to be sent was to Tokyo.

Thereafter, new embassies were sent to several countries, while others were closed, especially with unionist countries.

Another aspect that the Foriegn Office deals with is relations in the European Economic and Military Community (EEMC). Created in 1949, the Community serves to help economically and militarily countries that were part of the Community, this also to do against the Napoleonic Dynasty, led by France. Currently eight countries are part of the Community.

Another aspect is that through the Foreign Office that the Commonwealth declares wars. In the last wars that the country pariticipated, it was necessary that the Foreign Office passed a resolution to be able to participate militarily in the conflicts, with the exceptions in the two civil wars in France had after the end of the First European War, since many rebels attacked Lusophone ships passing in the area.

Another function of the Foreign Office is for when there are general elections for President of the Government. All the citizens who were there were from the national territory when there are elections, and if those citizens want to vote, they will have to go to the embassy or else to the consolation, present their passport and vote for the candidate they want. This has worked since 2000, when it was noted that many people were outside imperial territory when elections were taking place.

It also has the function that if a foreign citizen wants to obtain Commonwealthee citizenship they will have to go to a consoled or to the embassy to request a form to be able to apply for nationality. The process takes about a month to complete.

Now, without further ado, below this short text, will be the world map and the current embassies in each continent, and the tensions that the Foreign Office reports every three months.

I hope you enjoy this revamped factbook.
