To GameBoyBlue: What exactly is "Readying" a platoon? Is it basically recruiting+training a new platoon? Is it done by the diplomat or general?

Indeed. Training. General only.

[Chiefwaffles]

So is it separate from recruiting then? Or is that all a general needs to do for more platoons?

Also.. To all other nations, Regarding the Tropican Oil Expeditionary Fund: (AkA external funding of oil surveys in exchange for eliminating Oil Wholesale agreement.)
Tropico is now willing to negotiate giving a portion of all oil gathered from the discovered site for a mutually agreed-upon amount of time.

Meaning that if you fund a Tropican Oil Survey, not only will you be able to get an early elimination of the Oil Wholesale agreement as well as increased relations with Tropico, but you'll get some extra oil income on the side!

[Yourmaster]

Equestria will draft soldiers for the military and send four platoons to help tropico.

[Sheb]

Wait, I'm the General, not diplomat, right? Also, since player contract aren't GM enforced, we can just break the Oil Wholesale agreement, right?

Anyway, Anraya renounce the Oil Wholesale agreement, an unequal treaty that was imposed on it during the past. Should Tropico insist on it, we will consider dispatching troops to assist Djibouti.


We also urge Equestria not to help Tropico until they have renounced the neo-colonialist Oil Wholesae agreement.

Cycle 6 Anraya General Summary:
-Threaten invasion of Tropico if they don't renounce the Oil Wholesale agreement.

[vkiNm]

Wait, didn't we agree to take Tropico in as a Protectorate state of Equestria?

Perhaps we could insist that the Oil Wholesale agreement is now null considering that it was made by a formerly independent Tropico, not the Imperial Protectorate state that they are right now.

Djibouti did invade them though, which we're considering as an invasion against Equestrian soil. Which is unacceptable!

The Equestrian Government shall reassure Anraya that the Oil Wholesale agreement is no longer valid, and urges the neighbor to consider assisting Equestria in the protection of her sovereign soil overseas. In return, the Equestrian Government will make the removal of the Oil Wholesale agreement a top priority. Plus the overwhelming combined force should scare the Djibouti away, thus saving both sides from suffering large casualties. Otherwise, if two large conventional armies were to meet each others in battle over some trivial matter such as this..

well, it would not be good for anyone.

Cycle 6 Equestrian Government Summary:
-Encourage the Public of defending Equestria's Sovereign soil overseas in the name of the Goddess Empress.
-Put that $30 we put away for research to good use, for research.
-Reassure Anraya that a threat is not required for the Oil Wholesale agreement to be gone.
-Insist that Djibouti cut that shit out.
-Give Tropico another $5 to fully fund their oil expedition, and an extra $1 to help with their defense effort as we muster our forces.
-Send the the Inquisition over to Tropico to start a mission there and spread the word and love of the Goddess Empress, and have them encourage the Tropicans to hold firm, for the Goddess Empress watches over them.

Status: Not ready.

All one thing.

[DontBanTheMan]

Anraya will back the decisions of her general; though we do not wish to break out in hostilities with Equestria or Tropico, it no longer considers the oil agreement valid. Oil shipments will begin to Equestria via land routes to prevent piracy, with no oil being shipped overseas (in breach of the agreement if necessary).

Cycle 6 Anraya Diplomat
[ x] Not only will Anraya cut taxes, we will subsidize industry in our country. Spend $10 on expanding Anraya's economy and industry. Only relatively low-emission companies will be subsidized.
[ x] Start selling oil to Equestria via land to bypass piracy attempts. Ship NO oil to Tropico; ignore the Tropican contract.
[ x] Perform a speech to the people condemning foreign aggression by Djibouti, and oppressive treaties by Tropico. Rile up nationalist and patriotic sympathy among the people. We saw what happened with Tropico - we must support our General in these times of need and volunteer for the military. The lives of your loved ones depend on it! Viva la Anraya!
[ x] Eliminate many trade barriers with Equestria; allow food imports to come in, in exchange for industrial goods from Anraya's expanding industry.

STATUS: Ready.

[vkiNm]

Having heard of Anraya's plan of subsidizing their industry gives Equestria an idea as well.

The Equestrian land is vast, and our citizen, many.
The Government shall spend an additional of $15 to develop and aid the growth of Equestrian agriculture industries and help subsidize processing and canning plants.

No Equestrian Citizen under the watchful gaze of the Goddess Empress will ever go hungry! food shall be plentiful and affordable!
Also, we shall mention to our friendly neighbor Anraya of our plans to increase our food production, in case they'd like to open some more trade options with us. GLORIOUS food from Equestria, both Fresh and Canned, shall rid world Hunger!

Probably will be produced using clean energy too, so that's a plus.

Cycle 6 Tropico General Summary:
[ x] Mobilize the reserves and attempt to raise two more divisions of troops. 

Ready. 

[alamoes]

The Tropican military will extend the draft and attempt to raise two more divisions of troops. 

[Chiefwaffles]

Tropico formally disapproves of the recent political maneuvering around it.

A.) It was never agreed upon for Equestria to be able to negotiate on Tropico's behalf. This was not a part of the deal.
B.) I, the diplomat of Tropico, am pretty sure that Anraya cannot dismantle the Oil Wholesale agreement without mutual consent. Which it does not have.

If you wish to end the Oil Wholesale agreement, I'd like to suggest looking into the still-open offer for funding Tropican oil surveys. If you fund a successful oil expedition in Tropico, you'll get a mutually-agreed upon portion of all oil from that discovered spot for a mutually-agreed upon amount of time! And we'd dismantle the Oil Wholesale agreement!

[vkiNm]

The Equestrian Government would like to point out that with the additional $5 being sent to Tropico for the Oil expedition, Tropico now have all the money needed to afford the survey.

Anraya would like to point out that Tropico is in no place to negotiate, and their attempts at strongarming Anraya into following what we view as an unlawful treaty is potentially hostile. We do not plan on funding any expeditions for black gold; the stuff is toxic to the planet and attempts should therefore be made to REDUCE our reliance on it, not increase it. We would not mind sending oil to Tropico, but as the routes are blocked than we are left with no alternative but to refrain from shipping to you. Attempting to abuse the treaty to garner more oil at the risk of Anraya's merchant vessels is NOT going to stand, and it is suggested that you tear up the treaty so that oil may instead flow to your new mother country.

May it also be advised that hostilities toward Anraya will be met with diplomatic sanctions, which your country currently cannot afford. We'd certainly like to help you and Equestria, but we certainly don't mind shipping the oil to Djibouti instead if you continue to make unacceptable demands of us. Perhaps they won't force us into a corner like your treaty is doing.

[Chiefwaffles]

Sorry, what?
This treaty is lawful. Anraya agreed to the treaty in the past. Attempts to dismantle the treaty without mutual consensus is unlawful. You may have not made the treaty personally, but that does not invalidate it.

Do all laws of a country disappear with a new president? No. You're no exception.

If you'd like to fund green alternatives in Tropico instead, be my guest.

[vkiNm]

Equestria shall attempt to be the world's leader in green alternatives.
Hell, we hope that one day this 'black gold' will become the alternative instead!
