In an attempt to encourage more friendly relations with Anraya, Tropico will offer the following deal:
We will also accept $30 in total accepted from any amount of nations dedicated to green alternatives research in order to agree to dismantling the Oil Wholesale agreement.
MEANING that, say, if Equestria and Anraya both pitch in $15, Tropico guarantees it will be used towards Green Alternative Research, and will dismantle the Oil Wholesale agreement.

The Tropican Oil Expeditionary Fund offer is still open, though. We'll be on either/or basis for these two guarantees. Meaning that if we don't get enough money promised for the Green Research Fund, we'll turn towards Equestria's pledged $10 for the Expeditionary Fund and not take any money from the Green Research Fund. But the Green Research Fund takes priority, so we'll drop the Oil Expeditionary Fund if we get enough for the Green Research fund.

EDIT: The deadline for this fund will be by the end of this Cycle.

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.

This treaty is viewed as a neoliberalist ploy to assert dominance over Anraya's economy. THAT is what makes it unlawful, and we will not bow to your corporate consumption nor shall we fund your economy; Anraya's wealth belongs in ANRAYA. The people are tired of capitalism dominating their lives; we refuse to be binded to you and your oil-hungry corporate masters.

As stated earlier, Anraya's wealth belongs with Anraya's people. We will not be strong-armed by your treaty.

[Chiefwaffles]

Except you binded yourselves. This was a mutual agreement that you are dishonorably trying to go back on.

Feel free to not "bow" to our simple offers to let go of the agreement in exchange for a few resources to insure the vitality and independence of Tropico. But the agreement is still what it is - a mutual one.

[Sheb]

This agreement offer no benefits to Anraya. It was imposed by a corrupt former leader and is now illegitimate. If Tropico insist on it, or on using it to try to racket usout of our hard-earned and much-needed wealth, we are ready to go to war.

[Chiefwaffles]

Tropico will not be threatened by dishonorable leaders waving around their tiny sticks in our faces. We will stand tall.

The contract is legitimate, and there's nothing you can do about it.

[Sheb]

Great, we shall then just ignore it. You are welcome to try to enforce it.

[DontBanTheMan]

Great, we shall then just ignore it. You are welcome to try to enforce it.

The Anrayan government is united in this decision.

[vkiNm]

Equestria encourages both Tropico and Anraya to keep a calm head, especially right now with Djibouti marching to war.

We prefer to keep this 'war' of aggression as one-sided as possible, and no blood, neither Equestrian, Tropicans nor Anrayans should be spilled over Djibouti's lust for a fight. United we can end this fight quickly and save everyone a world of hurt.

[Sheb]

Anraya wants nothing better than peace, and would be glad to offer it if only Tropico would stop acting like we are their serfs.

[Chiefwaffles]

Of course you aren't. We simply have a mutually binding agreement, and would like compensation to agree to dismantle something that benefits us.

EDIT:

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.

Yup. Mmhmm. Okay.
Simply more deceit from untrustworthy scoundrels.


((DOUBLEEDIT: Could we get GM clarification on the oil wholesale agreement? I thought it was GM-enforced, but it seems unclear now.))

When it was introduced in cycle 5, it was kind of default. Lets just say you were, and in some ways still are, stretching out your administrative powers. You now own that contract, both nations involved. In the real world there is no omnipotent force to make anyone stand by their agreement.

It does however, seem appropriate to shed some light now, on WHY the agreement was made. As I said before:

The Auraya-Tropico Oil Wholesale contract was made at a time before the shortage. Tropico had offered some assistance, the nature of which will not be revealed at this time.

And now, I will release those documents to your administrations, privately. Anraya and Tropico officials will get a PM shortly.

Cycle 6 Djibouti Diplomat/General Summary:
[ x]Call off attack on Tropico and offer to work with their military.
[ x]Offer to purchase 18 shipments of oil from Tropico for $6.
[ x]Spend $12 on researching alternative power (wind).

The war-leader of Djibouti realizes that some things, like HONOUR! come before profit, and as such, it calls off the attack on Tropico in favour of defending it against the honourless Anrayan pig-dogs. The armed forces are pulled back without suffering or causing any casualties, and offer to join the Tropicans in standing against the treacherous Anrayan threats.
We would also like to purchase 18 shipments of oil for $6 from Tropico, as well as investing $12 in slowly transitioning the country to wind energy. The sky's own strength shall power our industry! The noble houses of the current oil companies will be urged to change over to supporting this new energy source so they don't get angry with the loss of their industry.

[vkiNm]

The Equestrian Government urges Tropico to be cautious. One should not throw open the gates to their cities to an army that was besieging them just recently just because they claim to want to 'work together' now.

[Chiefwaffles]

Tropico is greatly appreciative by the halt of the attack and would like to immediately resume peaceful relations with Djibouti. I do wish to consult with Gen. Alamoes before any further decisions, however.
