Duvidf: “Embassies around the world have the legal status of their home country does that mean that there are now “Two” of the given country?

Does Shabbos being מעין עולם הבא mean there are two Olam Habas?”

The answer is very simple. In the case of the embassies, they may have a legal status, but are not called a cheilek * mamash * of the country whose offices they house. Are gardens in Israeli embassies abroad chayav in mitzvos hateluyos ba’aretz?

In the case of Shabbos, it is called *מעין* Olam Habo, meaning similar to Olam Habo, not literally Olam Habo.
