In Diplomacy Mode, you cannot attack or espionage other players and other players cannot attack or espionage you. You also may not transport resources to or receive resources from other players. In return for the protection, you are taxed a percentage of all earnings (from mines, missions, etc.) while in Diplomacy Mode. The percentage is based on your Resources Spent Building Points (which are found by viewing the leader board).

Resource Spent Tax
0-49,999 25%
50,000-99,999 50%
100,000+ 75%

Turning Diplomacy Mode on or off takes 24 hours. While toggling Diplomacy, you will remain in your current state for the 24 hours. So when turning it on, you will remaining outside of Diplomacy (and therefore able to be attacked) for 24 hours until it becomes effective. Attacks sent before Diplomacy mode takes effect may still land afterward. If you have an emergency and need immediate protection from future attacks, vacation mode may be a better option.
