If you don't have the money any more to run your own embassies you can ask politely to rent a room or two in the offices of countries that you once ruled.
All you need is sufficient humility.

Yes that's quite right, although not Ecuadors in London, it's a tad full at moment with a sitting tenant who is going slightly stir crazy.

Nothing untoward about sharing embassies and consular duties. UK and Canada are working towards a bit of that, and for couple of decades now, Australia and Canada have had consular agreements to help out each other. As a Canadian vice-consul in Perú in late 1980s, a lot of my work was with Australians after their Lima embassy shut down for a few years.

That is a childish proposal aiming to spy and stole markets.

Spain is broke and doesn't know how to reduce government spending any further.

Expect more of these “suggestions” from Gollum Lite, I am waiting for him to offer Gibraltar a couple of Typhoons to get their air force costs down.
