International Treaties and Organisations
Taraskovya tends to stay away from any large international organizations that it could consider as generators of binding international law. Taraskovya does not recognize any international law above its national legislation, at least not until any international norms have been codified within the national legal system.
The country also shies away from any overly large collective security organizations. The main worry is that Taraskovya does not want to see its soldiers falling in some far away corner of the universe because of a dispute between a technical ally and some third party.

Diplomatic Missions
Taraskovyan Diplomatic Missions Abroad
The Taraskovyan Empire maintains a number of diplomatic representations in foreign states. Additional to an Embassy, the highest representation, a number of Consulates General also function in the largest cities, the existence of such Consulates also depending on the amount of Taraskovyans visiting or working in the given State, and the number of the given State’s citizens visiting or working in Taraskovya.
Additionally, four Grand Embassies also exist. Functioning as normal Embassies, these missions indicate on a special friendly and allied relationship between Taraskovya and the State or Organisation in which such a mission operates.
Below is a list of diplomatic representations to sovereign states and international organisations. Missions to semi-independent protectorates under Taraskovyan supervision are not included.

Foreign Diplomatic Missions to Taraskovya
As per the principle of reciprocity, those states having diplomatic relations with Taraskovya also have a diplomatic mission. Most Embassies are situated in Vigvar, the capital city of the Grand Duchy. However, establishment in Vigvar is subject to certain limitations, since tenants are not allowed to build their own structures or “drastically modify” the exterior of the buildings they rent. These limitations are due to the Vigvar’s authorities desire to preserve the historic city in its pristine beauty.
As such, those nations wishing for some special arrangement often build their compounds on the outskirts of the capital city.
