State Embassy (United States)

State embassies are Agencies of the twenty-four States united which represent the interests of the States vis-à-vis the Federal government and the other States. Each of the twenty-four States have their Embassies to the United States in the Fœderal Capital Territory, as well to each other in the respective State capitals. The Embassies to the Union and Confœderacy are a specific utility of North Aegean federalism and are derived from the German functional-equivalent, known as “Landesvertretung”, or “State Representation”.

State Embassies serve as an interface between Federal and State politics. Therefore, their activities include maintaining close relations with the Congress and the Federal Government. Their political and technical work aims to represent the interests of their State in shaping federal policy and legislation. Additionally, the Embassies offer work and accommodation for the State government. Furthermore, each Embassy showcases their State’s cultural and economic diversity to the Fœderal Capital Territory and to the other States.

Powers and Duties
Either as independent Agencies or as an office in the State’s Department of State and Foreign Affairs, State Embassies are a hinge between Union and State politics. They convey information in both directions, represent the interests of the State and participate in legislation in the United States Congress. The specialized committees of the Congress are also visited by employees of the Embassy, so that the Governor and State government are informed about the plans of the Union government and Congress. In addition, the Embassies are discussion partners for administrations, associations, journalists and interested citizens and represent their State to the outside world.
