To: Comoros Islands

Request for diplomatic connections

As we both are countries within the Indian Ocean we're sure that we're having many things in common, although you may have closer ties to the African continent.

We would like to establish diplomatic connections with your nation, and we're suggesting an exchange of embassies. Should you accept you're welcome to establish a Comorian (?) embassy in our capital Mumbai (Bombay).

We would also like to ask you to give us permission to use a port of yours for refueling of civilian trade ships en route around Africa. At the moment we're refueling some of them at sea but it would be more convenient to use a port.
This permission is only needed as long as the Suez Canal is closed due to construction.

President Sambi

OOC:
Bull_horns_rule, I hope you're aware of that $70 million is almost 16% of your total GDP? With that in mind $70 million is a huge sum for your country.

And then you have bought the production rights for the Mig-21 for another $50 million. The total for this two deals is $120 million, a very, VERY large sum for your country - more than 27% of your total GDP! It's easy to say that you don't have the money for these two deals. Also, remember that you cannot buy new equipment for 100% of your military spending - it cost a lot of money to keep things running also.


Funds(Just for me(I forget alot of things)):
Defence:7%
$27140000
Offence:7%
$27140000
Total Millitary:
$56280000
Total Millitary(Spent):
$0
And as your military budget is 14% of your GDP you have to RP drawbacks according to the rules (you must do that if your annual military budget exceeds 7% which is considered a maximum without major drawbacks in other places).

edit:
(hint!)
BHR, you can always try to find a deal of some kind, with a country who has money to invest in your country.

Ok Will anyone invest in my country I can pay you back later but i just worked myself into a massive debt because of a wrong calculation.

It will only take 12 RL days to make up for my mistake.

Official Message

We are delighted that you have chosen to accept our offer. Our first pressing concern should be your nations recent military purchases and the debts these have caused. We are prepared to offer a low interest loan in order to aid you in paying these back, unfortunately we cannot offer no strings attached aid to pay for an existing military order.

Beyond that, officials of the Naashan Canadian foreign ministry will be arriving in your nation within a week to conduct surveys of infrastructural projects to finance on the islands.
