We agree there is no need to antagoinze the PSA. The Tamoachan currently have no allies that we know of. No need to drive one into their arms. Let us concentrate on cutting off Tamoachan's army first and driving them back to Panama. With their army destroyed we will be able to determine whether or not to proceed through Panama into their Central American holdings more carefully.

The Tamoachan are clearly a threat, they have not even tried to justify their attacks on the Andean Union, and we would be willing to support destroying them. However also consider their people's morale. Their religion may be reprehensible in our eyes and their government may be insane, but their people love the government. Our own agents were completely repulsed when they attempted to enter the country. Attempting to set up new states may well put us in a position of trying to control a rebellious populous. And that is not a position we wish to be in. So let our coalition push the Tamoachan back to Panama, and then consider again whether we wish to pursue them further.

I would think that anything which provided actual benefits would need more than just buying it, although maybe not there were those USC blueprints.

To GM Only

Spoiler

By my estimate we'll have a minimum of 21 ECO for the project to restore and improve land condition of Iran, Carthage, China, Bengal, Indochina and Mongolia. I don't know what share of that would go into purchase of nutrients and water, but I guess it would be the most significant expenditure, since I believe the scope of the project would mean very high volume of water and minerals required. Those asteroids on other hand should have massive amounts available. We want low price, since we are making very large order and they can mine a lot at low cost to them, due to economies of scale. Also, this is opportunity for space nations to develop mining infrastructure, that they'll need in the near future, since everybody and his dog are busy developing space. Heck, I suspect eventually my tech can to a degree be adapted to create soil on the Moon (I know it'll require a lot of effort to adapt, but it's better than doing it from scratch).

Basically, if it was just me buying 4 ECO worth of materials, it would be one price. Together, at 15-20 ECO we are making one heck of a bulk order, which should be pretty profitable for them even, if they give us a discount.

"There are no words strong enough to condemn TELEPATH's base and cowardly betrayal of its allies, yet we must try with what words we can muster. Coming forward in accordance with our mutual defense pact, TELEPATH wormed its way into the confidence of the North American Alliance before turning on us in our hour of need, joining with the rapacious invaders on our shores to steal the lives of the Hegemony's sons and daughters, the sweat of their labors, and leave the once-proud city of Boston in ruins. TELEPATH has revealed its true face, that of a mercenary and unprincipled state that has no qualms to betraying inconvenient treaties and turning their weapons on nations that had called them allies hot twelve hours prior. We condemn TELEPATH's cowardice, we condemn TELEPATH's greed, and we condemn TELEPATH's unbridled amorality.

Without provocation, they were willing to work with Cuba to frame the Hegemony for piracy in the Atlantic, and strike at our heart by agitating our people into rebellion. The defeat of this European task group and the shattering of Britain's military power is the only way to ensure the safety and longevity of both our civilizations, and your involvement could turn the tide.

To UK
No we will not withdraw from this war. For some rather simple reasons; we won't abandon our ally excepically when the war is still far from decided. Also we do not want the UK as a neighbor. So far you've threatened and attempted to bully us in most of our conversations and have declared war on us while at the same time speaking for other nations. You've used treachery and agents to incite unrest and gain the smallest advantages. You've embarked on a mission of anhillation refusing to even let the American Hegemony have a chance to improve themselves. Quite frankly even if we accepted your peace terms we feel that you would merely use it as an opportunity to prepare for a another war against us.

To Russia
We notice that you've done the exact opposite of what your promised, bringing in reinforcements rather then peacefully retreating.

To Cuba
We are curious on why you are still in this war. As far as we can tell you are no longer allies with the UK and Russia and have no claim for being here. If you wish you may retreat or surrender and we will guarantee that your forces are returned home safely at no cost to your nation.

Iran: "This is excellent news."

China: "It certainly explains an unusual request from them, regarding sending us reinforcements. If they can be trusted, we see no reason to oppose further assistance."

"UHI can also provide 5 ECO, which we will reinvest as well in the asteroid mining project."

Iran to Carthage

"No, sorry if it was unclear. We meant that the front lines in Afghanistan pass along the northern Hindu Kush, which is where we expect the most difficult fighting, so this is where we would station the bulk of both your troops and ours in dealing with Turkestan once the Arabian warlords are removed entirely. It would be easier and better for your troops to be moved to the eastern front lines through our nation, but this is at least six months out yet, if not further, and if Turkestan is as weak as China claims, it may be entirely irrelevant."

The answer is both straightforward and simple, "Our military forces were stuck in Boston, without any assurances of a peaceful retreat. We fought to make sure that our men and women could securely return home. With the separation of former Hegemony territories, which the Directorate shall ensure remain progressive and free of the tyranny of the old government, we feel that our choice was correct in seeing as to whether or not the disgruntled citizens wished to continue residing under the old government."

The Soviets would continue their communications, reopening lines.

"The Directorate would like to know whether or not Bengal still has interests in pursuing a primarily communist India. The Indian Warlords may not be an issue for much longer, depending on how several projects pan out. Has the Princely Union still continued its aggression, or may the Directorate look forward to ongoing relations with its communist neighbors?"

"Indeed, we're aware that the warlords to our west seem likely to decline in power in the near future. The Princely Union attempted to approach us for an alliance against Carthaginian ambitions in the region, but their demands were exorbitant, and we found other allies, such as yourself, China, and the Amur Technocracy, to be preferable."
