Artitsa, we have a large amount of oil we would be glad to export to your nation. Also, if you need military hardware, we have some top notch stuff. Also, we would be interested in importing fruits and meats, so perhaps we could work out a deal to ensure a minimum level of oil for a minimum level of food?

Canadian Tundra: If you could fill 10% of our Oil needs, we'll fulfill 15% of your food needs. We offer fruits of varying types (Apples, Oranges, Mango's, Banana's, Papaya's, Clementines, Avocado's, etc.) vegetables (Tomatoes, Potatoes, Lettuces, etc) and finally meat (Cattle, Chicken, Turkey, Salmon, Mackerel, Cod, Lamb, and Pork.)

If you agree to this deal, we'll add it right away.

Department of Trade

Greetings, Artitsa,

We Zoogies are prolific tea-drinkers. Tea-shops dot the roadside with more frequency than Starbuck's, which is quite a feat, as Zoogies are also rampant consumers of caffeine. Between our lush forests and areas of fertile soil**, we have consistently an overwhelming surplus of tea leaves. We would be most interested in exporting tea to you at a reasonable price or exchange.

In addition, we have a tremendous quantity of narcotic plants*** that, while not illegal, are used with such infrequency that what sells for tremendous prices in other nations is mostly left to its own here. It's in our best interests to export these somewhere else, and, we take it, in yours to import them.

We also note that, while we have no current pressing import needs, Artitsa produces an enormous amount of staple foods. We have plenty of those ourselves, but even we haven't achieved a 1000%+ surplus.

Good day to you, sirs.

** - [ooc] I have no idea where tea leaves are found/grown, etc...

*** - [ooc] Refers to tobacco and marijuana. Get it? Refers? Ah, ha, ha. I'll shut up now.

Mattemis: We do not trade Gold. However, we will pay the $25,000,000 a year to meet our carbon-fiber needs.

SRoR: Artitsa is located in the North Atlantic, close to Ireland. All routes are by sea.

Zoogie (AKA: The man): Tea and Cannibis (right?) confirmed. Hopefully you will require some imports from us.

Yep. *conspirationally* If you would, ah, discreetly export some plutonium to us, we would be much obliged. [dept. of defense]

I'm not supposed to have a nuclear arsenal, so let's just say...it's lithium? :)

The UCSNE will begin exchanging rare earth elements and minerals (Platinum, Lithium, Chromium, others) for pharmaceutical goods. However most of the pharmaceuticals will be purchased by our highly privatized healthcare system.

OOC: My apologies for not replying sooner

IC:

The deal is good, although we do not have such a strong need for vegetables or fish, more land animals and actual fruits would be preferable. We will make the necessary arrangements with our oil companies right away.

Ok, we'll send more Lamb, Cattle, Pork, and Poultry. Do you still want fish and vegetables, but to a smaller extent?
