My Oil Producing Cousins...
For too long we have been undercutting each others oil prices, trying to backstab each other by cutting holes in our own pockets. This can only ever result in one thing: our economic demise.
The time has come for us to unite in the cause of making a fair profit from selling the oil that our nations have been blessed with.
I propose an aliance; we should join together and sell oil at a universally agreed price. This way we can all benifit from a greater national budget and have more money to support the welfare and security of our citizens.
Who wishes to be among the first to join the Alliance of Fair Oil Prices?

The Kingdom Of Milinta will join this alliance

as will the meger nation of Leprous Corruption

You're still using oil? From the ground? How quaint. We just grow rape which is then refined into bio-diesel and does pretty much the same stuff as oil, only it's unlimited and there's not much pollution.

We do the same with hemp. And make paper from it. And use it for it's 100s of other uses(not smoking, but we grow high-THC marijuana too. Have you ever considered switching to hemp? It's cheeper to grow and produces more bio-fuel per kg.

Hemp is currently undergoing trials to see exactly how much better it is, but it is unlikely to be legalised because there is no way of ensuring that it wouldn't be stolen by Hippies and other degenerates who would doubtless use it in drug fuelled rampages against the state. Several leading scholars have proclaimed this to be a Bad Thing, and that any possible benefits are outweighed by the potential downsides.
Besides, saying that Rape fuels our economy is always good for a cheap laugh at international conferences.

ASW wishes to sign up for this alliance; several oil derricks on land and out at sea have shut down from competition, and ASW is desperate to have them re-opened so as to export their resources. Consider us a part of this alliance.

Galdania does not produce oil for profit; we use it only for what our nation needs. We are however attempting to phase out oil for solar, wind, and nuclear energy.
