Sure you can be the foreign minister, but I'm afraid there isn't much that can be done on this front. This is because we are considered "ugly" by the other races and have only two options in diplomacy: to declare war or to beg for peace. From the beginning I was against playing as a repulsive race, but most of the people voted for it ..... So I'd recommend to think of something else
As our current leader suggested we may assign some system governors now
