Prime minister Salato was in cabinet, her minority government was in trouble as always.
“So the bloody socialists think we can't do cars?” She shouted, her tail flaring.
“Yeah we can't the mantis works that you love make perhaps a hundred in a year and half of them don't start!” Anderamia shouted.
“Look they suck at it, the drac works guys make very reliable vehicles but they can't make one that does seventy” Al says quietly.
“So we give another nation control over production? Get sane!” Salato ranted Al picked up the salato's sent had changed. 'hmm the rumours about her might be right' he thought.
“Look I will make a deal I suspect they have neither our waste recycling come power generation tech or out train tech.” Al said standing up “You need us in your government! With us gone your gov is toast!”
Salato glared at Al “Fine you want an election tomorrow after bringing down the government? The polls don't look so good for you!” she shouted at the green skunk like creature.

Al's tail dropped, the third party of the governing group had eaten into his support the last thing the freedom party needed was a general election. Luckyly the Quinne party had no idea what they were doing in the polls to other parties. There leader had no idea what his party chair...well feather might be the right term for the small thing that was running his party. He ignored her emails and calls as they were in a mixture of his language and calie which he did speak. But also French and other languages he hadn't the remotest notion about, she would switch mid sentence.

Al turned “You need me as much as I need you PM, or should that be MP?” he said.
Salato looked at Al, then thought better of what she was going to say and said instead “Fine talk to them, KZ will wipe out our automotive industry anyway.”

Al got back to his desk he needed a deal he knew his party had been hit by the quinne far harder than salato's united liberals, in fact her party would make gains. But the libertarians and conservatives would be hit far the worse. What worried him was that his party might wined up being the third power rather than the second party in a coalition government. He didn't have much time but he had to buy some, and not make it his party that brought down the government.

Greetings

We wish to commence trade talks our rail system is second to none and our waste management systems are amongst the best. I also believe that our financial institutions might be of interest and we are an exporter of advanced consumer goods.

How ever I just wish to set up the trade links required for these industries to flourish and yours to.

Yours

From Al, Foreign Minister, Foreign Office, Executive Spire, Tel, KC

Greetings

What little paperwork required has been completed and you are welcome to start importing your vehicles to the commonwealth. As a government we don't get involved in the sales of consumer goods in general so we have passed your details to our private sector. I believe you have sparked their interest.

Yours

Al

Greetings

As the CEO of the Commonwealth's largest chain of personal transit vehicles vendors we would like to start talks. How ever your web presence has a few failings and we can not find the wholesale price you require. Also for our somewhat unusual market some adaptation would be required specifically in seat design so as to accommodate tailed customers. The vehicles would also have to be right hand drive, though not an entirely virgin market less than a quarter of the commonwealth's population has a 'car' and our people are not poor.

You can see the potential?

Yours

Greetings.

We believe your looking at gaining a market presence in the commonwealth, as we have a somewhat unusual requirements, perhaps you are interested in a customisation centre. Perhaps in time a factory should the market prove profitable enough.

The city of Drac has a skilled engineering workforce and we do not believe in needless red tape.

Thank you for replying.
As a nation, the following manufacturers will export to your nation, should you agree:

Celsan
Cevan
Kulsah-Buick
Kulsah-Chevrolet
Kulsah-Peugeot
Kulsah-Volkswagen
Kulsah-Audi
Kulsah-Opel
Kulsah-Vauxhall


We do not adapt seat design for your nation sadly.

NOTE: Kulsah-prefixed manufacturers are part of the Kulsah Motors group, and take their name from the Kulsah region that the Kulsah firm is named after.

OOC: Note the Kulsah- manufacturers are parodies of real ones!

You may import your cars but without the adoption to the seating then you are very unlikely to sell any . How ever we expect a knock for knock agreement so the mantis[/IMG] and our [URL="http://www.automedia.com/NewCarBuyersGuide2008/photos/2008/Toyota/Tacoma/Pickup_Truck/2008_Toyota_Tacoma_ext_1.jpg"]sulan pick-up (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/25/MG_Nanjing_Models.png) I will assume will be welcome in your nation, though there oddly most popular version in the B (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Mgb.bristol.750pix.jpg) for some off reason*.

I have informed the resellers and the others in the private sector.

What the goddess's name are you playing at I can't sell your cars here with the current seat design. Are you insane you are looking at a multi billion meep market and the last time I check the meep was about 2 dollar.

Are you insane!! How much would a new seat cost you?

We request a exclusive deal with you, we can produce the seats and fit them providing you maintain the manufacturers warranty. We will allow you to maintain a presence at our workshop and manufacturing plant.

Then we will sell them one, with a consideration for our self.

yours

We cannot adapt the seats; but we have a specific seat upgrader which can be removed if our cars are re-exported, so as to avoid the expense of seat re-fits.
