It depends what you mean by 'tech flag'. This is a perfect job for gen
effects. Add an effect type 'Can_Establish_Embassies' or some such and add
that effect to Writing. When someone wants to establish an embassy, a check
for such an active effect is made. end of story.

I guess this means that I should finish up the effects implementation.
