Persona non grata (Latin, "unacceptable person") is a diplomatic term used when a government declares that a foreign diplomat is no longer welcome on its soil. Under international law, a persona non grata must leave the government's territory as soon as possible.
Barisha, the Belagoran ambassador to Shqiperi, made repeated demands to "King Halim Eddin" (actually Otto of Schlepsig in a masquerade) to cede crucial territory to his kingdom. Barisha became belligerent, making insults to the Shqiperi people, such saying that they were nothing but goatherds and cattle rustlers. When "Halim" returned the "favor", Barisha was not happy. When Barisha asked if Halim threatened Belagora with war, "Halim" said that he was actively declaring war on Belagora, a robbers' nest of a kingdom, and that Barisha was persona non grata. "Halim" told his majordomo Skander to give Barisha a horse, and aim him in the direction of Belagora. If Barisha was not out of Shqiperi in three days, he would be fair game.[1]

GermanChancellorHeinrich Himmler declared the Race's psychologist Ttomalsspersona non grata after Ttomalss mocked the Nazi Party's absurd racial ideology. Felless attempted to earn the same "punishment" to escape the Race's Nuremberg embassy, an assignment which she hated. However, she failed to "earn" this status until the entire embassy was expelled at the start of the Race-German War of 1965.
