The Armed Republic of Zillian, as an emerging nation, can no longer sustain its population with its meager resources, and we are hereby expressing a wish to trade Zillian oil (in which we have a large surplus) for food suplies, or technology that may improve food production.

Please note that we will not accpet any kind of military aid, we are only interested in trade at the moment.

Zillian Head of State.

Communique to the Zillian Head of State

The Imperial Coalition of Kroando has heard of your nation's need for trade resources and other such technology, in return for which you are willing to sell oil. We are always in need of oil, and we believe that we may have 'technology' that would indeed sustain your need for technological developments. In Kroando, where normal agriculture is near immpossible, we use a sub-terranean farming system, however we doubt your circumstances would require such a system. What we offer you is mass amounts of chemical fertilizer that not only increases growth rate by 45%, but ensures the size of the plants grown are 20-40% larger than normal. Additionally we are willing to sell large amounts of animal growth hormones and steroids to your nation, to increase the overall size of cattle, and thus, the amount of food available. However this would only begin the solution, as agricultural machinery is also required, tractors, harvestors, heavy equipment, etc. All of which we are willing to trade to your fine nation for oil.

We hope you consider our offer.

Official Government Communiqué
To: Zillian, the Armed Republic of
Encryption: None

Dear Sir/Madame, -

Your request for a supplier of food and resources was received not without some eagerness. As it happens, the Imperial Commonwealth is a major agricultural producer; in a slowly rebounding economy, food production has been the first area to recover, and therefore a large surplus is available. In addition, shipping food to Zillian may assist in the recovery of the shipping industries; therefore, the Commonwealth would indeed be amenable to trading food and agricultural supplies to Zillian in exchange for petroleum products, a resource in which Mauvasia Proper is unusually poor. If your government is amenable, the first shipments will arrive within three (3) days by aircraft, or within one week (7 days) by cargo ship.

However, we are aware that shipping food supplies is only a temporary solution; thus, along with consumables and planting supplies, we have contacted Imperial Agriculture Ltd to find out whether it would be interested in selling the Armed Republic agricultural equipment such as tractors, crop dusters, combine harvesters et cetera. Imperial has yet to respond; it is more likely that it will contact your government directly. (Imperial Agriculture is owned in part by the Commonwealth Government.)

To the Zillian Head of State,

The United Republics of Lebostrana have taken note of your offer and are willing to trade negotiable quantities of of iron and food, as well as nitroglycerin and niobium for your oil. Lebostrana has heard good things of Zillian oil, and can assure you that Lebostranan metals are of only the highest quality. We hope to maintain trade between our nations.

Sincerely,
Enhil Bersek, Minister of Trade and Foreign Relations.

The Vetalian government would be willing to set up trade between our nations to supply you with our state-of-the-art industrial and agricultural technology as well as a considerable sum of hard-currency, low interest ruble loans in order to develop your economy and meet the needs of your expanding population. Our aid would be far larger than any you will be offered in the future, but we do ask for something in return:

A small piece of land, even a plot designated in waters under your control, for the construction of one of our enclaves. An enclave is not a military base, and contains no more than a single division of soldiers for its own defense and a port capable of hosting naval ships. We will not use it for military purposes, save in the case of war or if you ask us to. This enclave will be rapidly developed, creating a massive economic bastion of several million of our citizens, who will immediately boost the trade and economic potential of your nation as well as increase our own market penetration in the region.

Think carefully on this. You will not only receive the economic resources to develop yourself but your country will be all the closer to the vast riches of our Empire.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

The Government of Burlovia is ready to trade your oil for agricultural machinery: tractors, harvesters etc. so you can start to farm your own food. The machinery would not be expensive, but because of our low cost of work force and resources, we are able to sell you vehicles etc. with a fair price, wich can also mean trading oil.

The Zillian Head of State expresses his thanks to all nations who have offered to open trade, but currently the Zillian oil production will only be enough for trade with two nations, at the most.

As for the proposal from Vetalia, the Zillian Chief of Military feels that a foregin military presence in Zillian at this moment would be unacceptable. Meaning we respectfully reject your proposal, but we will keep you in mind for furhter trading.

Regarding the offer from The United Republics of Lebostrana, we will be more than happy to trade oil for iron and food. We will repay in refined oil and a small economic sum.

We will also accept the proposal put forth by The Imperial Coalition of Kroando, trading oil for chemical fertilizers and animal growth steroids.

We must, unfortunantly, reject the offers made by the Imperial Commonwealth of Mauvasia and The Government of Burlovia, but we hope that we can maintain friendly relations between our nations.
