Diplomatic Efforts

Embassies

The first Ironland embassy was announced by @_magnify on July 3, 2024 in another Youtube video, and is located at the Dolly Parton Statue in Sevierville, Tennessee. The total number of embassies globally, along with their locations, remain unknown. This is due to the fact that during the same video, @_magnify encouraged viewers to create their own embassies by simply placing a clothing iron on top of a printout of the nation's flag. Despite this, any embassies would be legally invalid. This is because an embassy requires the consent of the country it is being hosted in, a fact which @_magnify openly discusses.

International Relations

According to a video by the nation's founder, the government of Romania reached out via social media to express interest in diplomatic talks with Ironland. The founder claims that talks have continued on an embassy in Romania, possibly in a church in Biertan, Romania.
