President Watts has came up with a plan to make Education & Healthcare free, and with surplus!
Basket Weaving is on the high, especially around the countryside, and in many of the rural areas of Akiremah. Basket Weaving R US is expanding without much competition, and already has around 125,000 employees!!! It seems to be the job of the lower class & elderly, since you can do it on your spare time. Basket weaving is very cultural in Akiremah, but the problem is....
There is no more demand!
In cooperation with the president watts administration, Baskets R US will export great weaved baskets in bulk!

You are, suprisingly, in luck. The Church of the Day Star, the founding and ruling church of The Theocracy of The Shadow Dunes, needs about 1 billion baskets. As The Feast of The Waning Star, celebrated on the Winter Solstice, comes closer, we realize we do not have baskets for our food drive. We would like to buy baskets for this upcoming food drive and for the rest of our food drives for a year. We have deposited the money in your eccount.

That's alot of baskets! But that quota is done. I know of millions that are stored in warehouses of Baskets R US, and i know there are 100's of thousands of people applying for work!! Small businesses are opening up, and business is under way!
75,000 Applications have already been processed, and there has been a few thousand applications that has been recieved for new businesses being started in the basket weaving sector!
The payment has been recieved, and the baskets will be there months before the festival!

The last of the baskets has left the Notingsaw harbor and is en route to The Shadow Dunes! Enjoy!
Ab-shalom and greetings;
While Vastiva has no direct need of baskets, we are interested in techniques and patterns being used, given our burgeoning home crafts industry.
If it were allowed, Vastiva would send several experts to your nation, to observe and learn your methods. From these, we would add to our "Basket Weaving Methods of the World" collection as well as our "Baskets in a Minute" lines.
At this time, we will offer a 500 million USD advance on a 3% flat percentage of net profits from all lines, with costs of housing, feeding, and supplying the observers being added to the advance.
Namaste,
Kidane Alemachu
Vizier of Trade and Contracts
