DIPLOMATIC COMMUNICATION
PROTOCOLS

Available to Foreign Governments

Communications from the leaders and representatives of the United States Federal Government are virtually always sent through proper diplomatic channels to ensure that messages and information from American sources can be trusted. Diplomatic Headers such as "United States | Communique to the United Kingdom" are written in a particular order and with specific words so that recipients of the message can: determine the authenticity of the message, determine the type of message being transmitted, and get an idea of who the message is coming from. Diplomatic Headers are broken into three parts.

Using the previous example, the parts are explained as follows: "United States" indicates that this is a legitimate message from a legal representative of the United States Federal Government (or legal agent with permission), "Communique" is a Message Status used to describe who the message is coming from and if it is diplomatic/military/intelligence focused, and "to the United Kingdom" indicates the sovereign government or entity that the message is directed towards (shortened names are normally used here, while formal names are used within a message). Message Statuses are further explained below.
