An 
Ambassador is the official 
representative[?] of one 
state to another. Representatives of the mission incities other than the 
capital are called 
consuls. The host country typically allows the ambassador and any 
consuls control of specific territory called an 
embassy or 
consulate respectively. The territory, staff and even vehicles used by the mission are usually afforded 
diplomatic immunity to most 
laws of the host country.
