"In civil engineering news today, the 5 year project to dredge the Panama canal has been completed. As you can see the canal's width in some places has been enlarged, and of course the depth in all areas has increased. Also only the Gatun Locks remain. The new, deeper channel will allow large aircraft carriers and battleships to cross easily as well as supertankers and frieghters.
A new project to build a second canal, this time a sea level canal in Nicaragua has begun, since the work crews are now free from the Panama project. This canal will take an estimated 10 years and 25 billion dollars to build and will be the largest canal in the western hemisphere."

donatations of $ and manpower accepted in exchange for use rights

Official Statement, Imperial Government

The Democratic Imperium is willing to offer your construction firms $5bn in exachange for unlimited and unrestrictable useage rights for the completed canal. We hope that this deal, if accepted, can help bring our two nations closer together diplomatically.

We do think this is a very important project.
We'd like to donate 2.5 billion right away, and more money to come later.
We'd also like to send 200 construction workers, together with construction machines.

We thank you for this honour to build an embassy in your fine country. We will send a small delegation consisting of embassy personell, and the ambassador Erich von Stalhein.
We also have cleared some land in the outskirts of our capital Bachwald, for you to build an embassy.
So that we may strengthen the relations between our two countries.

Official Statement, Imperial Government

An embassy exchange would be a most acceptable offer. Your embassy in Praeton will be within walking distance of the Houses of Parliament, although we must insist that you only station up to 50 guards armed only with small arms there. You may also station two unarmed helicopters, and six unarmed APCs or armoured cars. We would be willing to accept similar terms in exchange.

Agreed to all 3 propsals

Upper Xen would like to donate USD$4,000,000,000 in exchange for usage of the canal. If possible, we would like to send some engeneers and workers to help this project succeed.

Anagonia wishes to donate 20 Million to the project, intern asking permission of usage. We would donate more, but we just wasted 20 TRILLION on a new Alliance....::coughs::

Both donations will be welcome, we are reaching our fund raising goal and I'm sorry to say we cannot accept many more donations.
