History
Creation
The embassy was first planned for by GTNEC of the USQ Janice Zarli. Zarli wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the Azurian Isles, and brought up a bill in the Asperian Trade and Defense Organization General Assembly to establish a joint embassy in the nation, as the House of Bureaucrats wouldn't approve a Quentinian-only embassy. The bill was passed, with building funded by the ATADO and two other countries, the Protectorates of Allia and Xevenia, signing on to the joint embassy. The site for construction was chosen by the shores in the capital, Atlantea, and the street was renamed Asperian Street. As adhering to Quentinian law, the building had to be constructed by a Quentinian company, so after deliberations, Kumar Industries was chosen to build the building. Construction was started in August of 2004, and was finished in January of 2007. The 3 countries moved in that same month, with a combined staff of 9,800.
