((Hoqsweat's colony land))

"This blasted land. Tell me why they forced us to relocate here?"

A skinny geekish man began to speak when he was cut off. "That was a rhetorical question." said the gruff voice again.

The geekish man stepped forward, quivering a little, either from fear, or the fact that the heater was broken, and the howling wind could be felt through a foot of shotcrete. He spoke in nasally voice, "Uhm, Commissar... we need ports that aren't... completely covered in ice... we need ports that aren't frozen, and you can work outside... we are losing valuable time, and losing too many men trying to prep items in this constant bad weather..."

The stout scarred commissar snorted. "Then it seems we need to instill more fear."

"B-But sir, that's one of the main reasons we are losing so many... they simply can't work hard enough in this weather.. we are losing too many because of on-the-spot executions. No matter how hard we whip them, they just cannot keep up."

"Then what's your solution, hm?" The commissar eyed the skinny pale man, who in turn looked away in a sort of obedience.

"W-well... we could ask our neighbors to the south for some warm water ports.. where all our imports and exports can be properly prepped... before coming here, or leaving to another place.."

He snorted again, the commissar then nodded. "Very well, contact them. Ask them for a bit of land..."

With a quick gesture and nod, the skinny man in a suit scurried out of the room.

Not long after, a communications was sent.

Dear colonies of Manhattan Prime, and the Space Union.

We kindly ask for a sort of land exchange, or a loan. We need warm water ports so that our imports and exports can be properly prepped. Our ports are frozen 11 months out of the year, and this makes it very difficult, as we just cannot make big enough loading areas in this kind of weather.

We ask we be loaned or exchanged stretches of coast within your borders, suitable for deep sea tankes and cargo ships. We are willing to pay any (Reasonable) cost.

We at the Greater Union colony wish to ask if we could have resources instead of money from you. We are willing to provide you a port on our shore that would be perfect for your needs. In exchange, we ask for some resources. We wish to ask what resources you have?

Signed,
Governor Torin

Resources at this time would work perfectly for this kind of exchange. As for what kind of resources, we boast(Self-proclaimed) the biggest mineral reserves in this part of the world. From fossil fuels, to metals such as iron, copper, minute amounts of gold, and in rare occasions, daimonds, and ofcourse much much more, too much to be put in a short letter.

After much deliberation, the colonial government requests the following resources from your nation:

1) Titanium
2) Iron
3) Natural Gas

These will be shipped to us as long as the port remains open to your exports. This agreement will expire in 100 years. If you agree to the terms then construction will be started immediately on the port. Thank You.

Signed,
Governor Torin.

We agree to those general terms. You shall recieve your first shipments of the metals required as soon as the port is finished.

We ask of one more item, this is completely optional, and fully understand if you decline. We ask that our minor warships be allowed to dock for resupply/refueling. We will only allow ships such as destroyers, frigates, and light cruisers to dock for resupply. We will not be docking battleships, heavy cruisers/destroyers, and dreadnoughts(Though we do not possess any of those).

One more item has come to my attention, almost completely separate from the other items. Would you care to open your colony for tourism? Many of our peoples have a severely damaged morale due to our weather, and your land has a much better atmosphere than ours. We cannot give you anything for this, only what you make off of tourists will be what you recieve.

Thank you.
