The Floregasque Republic is a city-state consisting of the city of Floresque and its immediate environs. The city-state is governed by the eighteen-member Signoria of the Floregasque Republic, members of the city's elite who are chosen by (usually pre-determined) lot. The country's head of state is the Gonfaloniere of the Signoria of the Floregasque Republic, who serves as the presiding officer of the Signoria and is likewise chosen among their own members by (usually pre-determined) lot. The Gonfaloniere serves a term lasting their entire life, and the de' Avelocci clan has controlled this office for over a hundred years.
The Floregasque Republic has a population of about two million. Lacking large swaths of land dedicated to agriculture, the city gains most of its wealth via its port, its financial centers, and its cultural exports - mostly fashion, art, and film. Despite the country's financial wealth, there are large disparities in wealth distribution - the richest citizens make considerably more than the poorest, and hold most of the nation's political power.
The Floregasque Republic, in an attempt to reform its political image, has recently decided to pursue a policy of embassy creation. The Signoria has bought a section of the Via Giulia de' Avelocci, named after the mother of the current Gonfaloniere, Alessandro. With its wide lanes and Renaissance architecture, it is the jewel of the city. The area of the street closest to the Palazzo de Signoria, the building housing Floresque's legislature, shall be the city's new embassy row.

The Floregasque Republic is, for the time being, not able to approve embassies with nations unwilling to allow a Floregasque ambassador in their own country. As a city-state, we are well-acquainted with how tight space can be, and at this time the Signoria cannot afford to use space that might go to a country willing to reciprocate embassies on a country that is not willing to do so.
The Signoria of the Floregasque Republic, as well as its Gonfaloniere, thank you for your time.
