Doesn't the ordinary-language definitions of "affairs of state (of
Agora)" and "ambassador" mean anything? When a rule says that
something completely undefined (Agora playing another nomic) is to
happen, and introduces the notion of nomics being like states, then
I'd say this is like saying a country doesn't have diplomatic
relations to another when their ambassadors are clearly talking and
making deals.
