Re: Total War 2125, it never changes.
Solaris Alliance
SpoilerVery well. We are intrigued by the notion that any resources in your land go untapped, but considering your apparent successes we are inclined to accept your reasoning. We hope that trade may be possible in the future.
Helligan Industries
SpoilerYour proposal seems interesting- however, we ask for a little clarification. You ask for first choice of all extracted minerals- to clarify, you *do* only refer to those minerals which are available for sale, am I correct? We would not wish to destroy our own economy by, say, the loss of materials which are needed for our own expansion. Following are the terms which we might consider mutually beneficial:
1. The first 50M H$ of industrial equipment purchased by the Union of Javraen each calendar year from Helligan Industries to be purchased at cost.
2. Any further purchases to be a Favoured Partner trade levels, 12.5% below list price.
3. Helligan Industries to pay 40% of all mineral extraction and processing facility instillation and maintenance (not staffing) of all facilities installed and run by the Union of Javraen for the duration of the contract.
4. Helligan Industries to have first choice and selection of 20M H$ worth of available newly extracted minerals at cost.
5. Helligan to recive 1.5% of all revenues raised through international sales of unrefined mineral substances(other than to Helligan).
6. Helligan to receive 24M H$ for the sale of 102 antique nuclear missiles (Trident design) and a further 8M H$ for the sale of 36 warheads (Cruise design) to be repaid at 0% APR, in whole or in part, before the end of the contract period.
7. This contract to be binding for a period of 4 years with the possibility of extension after this period on a year-by-year basis.
8. A penalty clause of 2.4B H$ should either side fail to meet their obligations.
China
Spoiler"In light of our current agreement on the subject of your country's development, I considered it a possibility that you might be intereted in further co-operation. Most importantly, would you be interested in a collaborative research project? We feel that a combination of our technology and expertise and the discipline and power of the Han Dynasty might make great advances in many fields.
In addition, we hear that you have recently allied with several other nations- who, as it happens, are currently in agreement with the Union also. Would you consider a combination of our own agreements in accordance with your treaty?"Last edited by Gauntlet; 2009-05-22 at 02:45 PM.

The crowd cheers at the other two as well, if maybe a little less loadly than the cheers for Han.
Shona waits and then held up a copy of the document, this one unsigned for the crowd to see "This paper is our will, and yours, made real. A treaty of such strength as to assure that the light of peace is lit, and make sure it stays that way"
She placed the paper on the large table and lowered a elegant pen of Jade to the paper. The crowd is hushed as she signs the paper. Shona smiles and places the pen carefully on the document and steps aside.
Union
SpoilerThat depends on the nature of the research project. Could you perhaps explain what you have in mind?Last edited by Greystone; 2009-05-22 at 12:19 PM.

Odin follows Shona's example and walks up to the table, picks up the pen and signs it. He lays down the pen next to the paper and waits for Pedro to do the same.

SpoilerTo put it simply, we are considering developing in the most expedient direstion for an island nation: upwards. We would hope that our own robotic advances might aid in the dangerous environments which this would entail. Of course, your own contribution is likely to be of great aid in this respect- particularly considering the dipomatic skill your leaders appear to be currently displaying.

Shona nods at Pedro "It has been a pleasure having you here Emperor."
As Pedro shakes hands, The Lioness shakes it enthuisiastically "Thank you for coming Emperor" she said with a small smile.
Han bows slightly as the two leave, and as they pass through the crowd, all bow slightly in respect before standing straight and cheering once again.
With a last nod, Han turns and disappears with the Lioness and her guard. The rest of the honor guard escort the two Emperor's back to their ships.
Readable, but unknowable
SpoilerAs the dignataries leave, Shona sinks into a couch on the first floor and lies back with a sigh. The Lioness gestures for the servants to leave before bringing a pitcher of cold red wine.
"I think that went well" The Lioness said "You were wonderfully diplomatic"
Shona raises an eyebrow "Really? I think I was a little off today, but oh well" she takes a drink "Your a pretty good judge so I guess I'll trust you"
Kim smirks and raises a hand in a little sarcastic salute "Anything my Empress commands"
Shona looks over wickedly "Anything?"
"Anything"

"Well then, there's also the clear military advantage of access to space. And, let's see, you also have a way of tempting more people into your alliance- a collaboration along these lines is likely to have resounding consequences, and many people will want in, I suspect."Last edited by Gauntlet; 2009-05-22 at 01:07 PM.

SpoilerWe are willing to split any material proceeds directly. Of course, in some situations this may be more complicated- particularly if other countries are likely to join. If they do, how about this: as founding members, the Union of Javraen and the Han Dynasty each recieve a thirty percent share of any proceeds, with the remainder evenly split between all involved parties- including our own two states, again. Sounds good?

"I also apologize for my.. Rude... Reply. But, please understand that A.B.T has already recieved news of planned war against it, and we have to put up, or shut up as is to get any respect in the world. We are willing to negotiate for Hawaii, but you must understand if the price is steep. It is our only buffer against a naval attack against the far east, or any of it's allies. If we were to sell Hawaii to you we would require you to sign a non agression pact with us. Hawaii is far too close to our shores to allow for anything else. Also, on the note of renewable energy. Do you refer to Solar, Wind, and Hydrogen energies, or something more advanced. We do have abit of a dependency on a dwindling oil supply, and fixing our energy dependency is worth the cost of Hawaii, and would greatly improve upon our nations morale to know that we are now 100% American supported in our most vulnerable area."

A.B.T wishes to collaborate with Helligan for production of a newly developed military bio plane.

No more waiting for the planes to take off to respond to a threat, nor having your air force wiped out while still on a landing platofrm, or on a take off strip. We merely need the production facilities, and some technological help from Helligan to finish the project, and get things underway.
