Personally, I don't really think communication time is really going to be an issue unless the plot demands so. For /nasa/ and /inf/, they might actually be able to reach each other surprisingly fast if they make use of the prevailing wind and currents (picrel). I think the majority of time spent would come from the rounds of negotiations, especially if the diplomats doing that are on a short leash and has to doublecheck with home.
