Ministry of Truth -> Ministry of AD

Dear Minister of Advanced Defence,

It is of course our ministry's pleasure to assist.  Soon we will destroy the loyalist fools!  With your permission, it would indeed be helpful if 100 of our Arbiters received conventional military training through your training program.

In addition, would you consider hiring experts in deception and politics, stealth, and lockpicking to train the additional 100 arbiters if it is not too much of a burden?  We would certainly appreciate the support, but if that is not possible it is no problem.

Sincerely,
Minister of Truth

Ministry of AD -> Ministry of Criminality

Dear Minister of Criminality,

My marines were tasked with searching for the secret royal heir who we believe can get us access to Royal family money. The heir in question is the father of your unofficial advisor and we are asking your ministry how we shall proceed to get access to the money.

Yours Sincerely,
Minister of Advanced Defence.

MoC -> Minitrue

How much money are we talking here? He's quite useful to me, so I'd rather avoid any unnecessary violence.

Ministry of AD -> Ministry of Truth

Dear Minister of Truth,

We will gladly take on Instructors who expertise in subterfuge, Training wont be much of a burden but it will take between 12 or more weeks for Arbiters to fully trained if they sign up as they will either undergo basic military routine and training or under Subterfuge teachers. If you have any other needs please ask.

Yours Sincerely,
Minister of Advanced Defence.

Ministry of AD -> Ministry of Criminality

Dear Minister of Criminality,

Previous Intel from my Marines indicate the cash hidden away in Swiss bank accounts is somewhere around 22 million which would benefit our government.

Yours Sincerely,
Minister of Advanced Defence.

Ministry of Ideology.

(MiniIde --> MiniTru) Would it be feasible to gain a portion of your tax income in order to set up an internal intelligence service? 2% of the tax, perhaps? The income would greatly increase the internal safety of the nation as well as give us more diplomatic influence. If you are willing to do so, I shall propose an amendment to the Budget Act.

(MiniIde --> MiniHlth) Would you be willing to part with 1% of your alloted tax income in order to help establish the Ministry of Ideology? The funds diverted from you would be used to improve the internal stability of the nation.

MiniTrue -> MiniIde

Dear Minister of Ideology,

Welcome to Apland, the most glorious country of all!

We at the Ministry of Truth would certainly not be opposed to revising the Budget Act to provide your ministry with funding.  Technically, however, only the Executor (the Minister of Graft and Corruption Issues) can call for a vote to alter tax redistribution.  We would be open to changing that rule, however, if it is too bureaucratic and the Minister of Graft and Corruption Issues is open to it.

Truthfully,
Minister of Truth

Ministry of Engineering -> Ministy of Agriculture:

Dear Minister of Agriculture,
Many thanks for your financial support last week, it was greatly appreciated. If you see require my department's services feel free to ask.
- The Minister of Engineering

Minister of Engineering -> Ministry of Truth:
Dear Minister of Truth,
My thanks for permitting us to utilise some space in the Government HQ, I have little doubt we shall continue to work side by side for the good of Apland into the future. My thanks also for your promise of introduction to the Soviet ambassador, which will doubtless prove very useful for co-operation on any major infrastructural investment we can encourage them to take in our country.

I am slightly concerned, however, about the prospect of pulling Palushka into what i hope will be the last phase of our civil war. Although a defensive alliance will doubtless be beneficial, I do not believe we should ask them to get involved - for reasons as you outlined against asking for Russian intervention. In addition, it would be a show of weakness I do not think it would be wide to make, as well as the fact that this is Apland's war - with your encouragement to the people it would probably be best for morale if we are able to defeat this threat without external aid.

Finally, although I know it is not my affair, I feel I should warn you against attempting to purchase Free Thought at this stage. It is highly likely they will see this as proof you are trying to distort the news by taking over competition, and say as such in their paper - potentially providing more fuel for the protesters.
Just some thoughts,
The Minister of Engineering.

Ministry of Enginerring -> All other Ministries:
Dear Ministers:
Once again I must ask for funds, this week $46,970 AD - although some leeway would be appreciated in case tax income again falls. I will soon be making proposals to ensure these funds are covered directly in the future.
My thanks in advance,
The Minister of Engineering.

Minister of Truth -> Minister of Engineering

Dear Minister of Engineering,

Your concerns about Palushka's involvement in Aplandian affairs are reasonable, and as a result of your points I will have our ministry change its vote from Support to Oppose.  It's increasingly looking like such intervention wouldn't be necessary anyway, considering the recent strides we have made against the loyalist scum!  I am, however, going to keep a defensive pact with Palushka on the table for future consideration, because I do agree with you that such cooperation could be useful.

Also, you raise another good point about the purchasing of Free Thought, so we'll just monitor the situation for now.  I certainly appreciate your advice, so please feel free to let me know of such things without worry.  We are all working together for Apland, naturally.

Lastly, please accept $25,000 towards your funding amount.  If this turns out to not be enough when combined with disbursements from other ministries, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Truthfully,
Minister of Truth

We will gladly cover $20,000 of your shortfall, in thanks for the work you've done on the capital's infrastructure, and I hope we can work together on infrastructure projects in the future. If it is absolutely needed, we can cancel our purchase of vehicles this week and provide about 12,000 AD more.

Just out of curiosity, fellow minister, what were your motivations for setting up an eastern comic book company and a forestry management organization?

Ministry of Advanced Defence -> Ministry of Transportation

Dear Minister of Transportation,

We setted them up to to expand revenue for defence programs as defence tends to costs absurd amounts of money and very rarily generate income that we need more means of procuring income. The forests also need to be managed to stop non government sanctioned activates stealing national resources and the other is to sell comics is influence state of creativity and nationalism in our country.

Dear Minister of Truth,
My thanks for your funding - though an additional $1,000 AD is required to fully cover the Ministry's costs, so would you mind increasing it by that amount?

If you have any advice or requests of your own, just say and I will do the best I can to deal with them.
- The Minister of Engineering.

Ministry of Engineering -> Ministry of Transportation:
Thanks for your funding, it is greatly appreciated. I also look forward to is working together in the future to modernise our country.

I have instructed our employees to increase the payment by $1,000.  Thank you for keeping the door open for Minitrue's requests.
