History

After the formation of the Eirian Republic on August 8th, 1845, the interim Committee of Governance recognized that, in order to cement the new nation’s legitimacy, the government needed official pathways for international relations. As such, they took to gathering a collection of lawyers, translators, and magistrates from across Eiria. These groups came together to form the foundations of the Ministry of Diplomacy, which was officially chartered on October 21st, 1845.
