'''Diplomatic Service''' is a [[Renaissance Era (Civ6)|Renaissance Era]] [[Civic (Civ6)|civic]] in ''[[Civilization VI]]''. It can be hurried by forming an {{Alliance6}} with another [[Civilizations (Civ6)|civilization]].

== Strategy ==
Diplomacy has always been part of your civilization's activities. But formalizing this activity as a separate government service is a very important step to further structuring the state.

This momentous achievement paves the way to modern diplomacy by unlocking the [[Diplomacy (Civ6)#Resident Embassy|Resident Embassy]], which reveals the {{Capital6}} of the receiving civilization. It also reveals another very important aspect of the game: [[Espionage (Civ6)|espionage]]. It not only allows you to train and maintain your first [[Spy (Civ6)|Spy]], but also unlocks the [[Machiavellianism (Civ6)|Machiavellianism]] Diplomatic Policy, which aids espionage immensely.

Finally, Diplomatic Service unlocks a series of [[Casus Belli (Civ6)|Casus Belli]], which greatly expand your abilities to wage war with fewer penalties.
