>> Embassies and consulates are definitely government facilities/offices.  Under the legal doctrine of extraterritoriality, the embassy or consulate is considered to be located in the sending country for purposes of legal jurisdiction.  Extraterritoriality is virtually unlimited in the case of an embassy; it is more limited in the case of a consulate but still exists.  Thus office=government, government=[diplomatic, consular}, diplomatic=[embassy, high_commission, nunciature, legation, interests_section, branch_embassy, liaison_office] might be what we are looking for.
