The largest branch of it's armed forces are it's navy, which bases out of San Diego, San Franciso, and Seattle.

The Bear Flag republic is willing to take orders for naval building, but we will nto sell any of our currently existing ships.

The Union took that into account earlier. We need as of now three destroyers and one Cruiser. oil shipments to your nation have cast off and will be sent to San Francisco.
Signed,
King Abdul Aziz ibn-Nadj al-Qatif al-Saud II

Construction will begin as soon as possible. Expect the destroyers next year, and the Crusier the year after.
