The project covers all articles that involve a relationship between 2 or more governing entities. Said entities include those that exist today and those that do not exist anymore, such as the Soviet Union. Articles under this project's scope include, but are not limited to:
International organizations - Such organizations must consist of a union with several member governments. Examples include the League of Nations, United Nations and the European Union
Foreign relations - This describes the policies that a particular country has vis-à-vis with other countries, or on particular issues (e.g.: Foreign relations of Qatar. Additionally this also includes the category which details the network of foreign missions a country has abroad (e.g.: Qatari diplomatic missions), and diplomatic missions located in that country (e.g.: List of diplomatic missions in Russia).
Sometimes, translators are needed to read speeches and other material by foreign diplomats in order to obtain information that wouldn't otherwise be available in English. Please use the following format:

Question: Is Secretary of State a Diplomatic Post or a Political Office? I see no header for a cabinet level office. See Template:S-start/doc
One answer: If it's (normally) elected, it's political. If appointed, it's diplomatic. Example: The Secretary of State of Kansas is elected. That's true in many if not all states of the US. On the other hand, per the Appointments Clause, the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint" all "Officers of the United States," with an "officer" being someone who exercises "significant authority".
What is the history of chanceries? Specifically, when did chanceries/embassies become sovereign territory?
In modern times, under the 1961 Vienna Convention, specifically articles 21-25. Note that chanceries are not sovereign territory, as the Khashoggi case showed, merely inviolable. In ancient times, it was the body of the ambassador that was inviolate, rather than a specific building.
The article is one of the core organizations in international relations or is a very broad overview article with many sub-articles.
A reader who is not involved in international relations will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily.
Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages.
The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding specific topics about international relations or general topics about parts of international relations
Most readers will have some knowledge of the subject
Articles at this level cover particular issues related to international relations, specific terms are used to detail the topic
The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in international relations.
Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject
Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand international relations. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text.
The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of international relations, but may cover topics directly related to it.
Few readers outside of the topic area may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article.
Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of international relations, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed.
All articles regarding the bilateral relations between two countries should follow this format in order to have an organization within all such articles:
Country names are to be placed in alphabetical order.
Following community discussion (here) neither the noun (e.g. Germany–Italy relations) or the adjective form (e.g. German–Italian relations) is preferred.
All articles regarding the bilateral relations between two countries should roughly have met any of these criteria in order to meet notability for the bilateral relational articles.
They have been engaged in a war.
They engage in significant trade.
