OOC: You'r still in the cut mercantillist, im proposing of forming the CGV World (50/50 New Delfos Invertors/West O), and the CGV Takasia (Ruled by a national investor, 52% or more, we get a split cut just for representation of CGV World). Let's say it's like Coca-Cola, which is american, but we have Coca-Cola Portugal (tastes better, the advertising are better, all that :p). Do you all agree?

Takasia Canal A.G. is currently in talk with the Saletsian government about the proposal of a new canal. This proposed 1,000km-canal will end the current monopoly of the Xyraeli Channel, and will improve the logistics of Saletsian coasts and the region significantly.

With the current proposal, no locks will be necessary for the canal (just like the other two canals), greatly enhancing its efficiency. When completed, the canal will be the longest built by Takasian Canal A.G.

[tak]

Both parties have generally agreed the construction of the canal. However, Takasia Canal A.G. is deeply concerned about the free use of the canal by all UASS members. This can be a heavy financial burden to the joint-venture. On the other hand, The Saletsian government have denied the use by LCF members, which is agreeable to the company as the canal lies in Saletsian sovereign.

To:President Barga of Saletsia
From: President of Kazjko Region and Council of New Delfos, Lot Doyen Kazi

We would like to give you full support for the Canal, also transport a special service and the creation of CGV Saletsia with your agreement. With this, we will also offer some gifts that will be transported with 5000 workers and a 1000 emigrants. A special scientist team will also arrive to guide the construction of CGV line and other things.

To: President Barga of Saletsia
From: Takasia Canal A.G.

We agree that Saletsia has full jurisdiction over the canal, including the right the allow and deny the usage of the canal to any nation, and the right to enforce the law of Saletsia by any means according to Saletsian laws.

We suggest that we can form a joint-venture, 50% owned by a company or the government of your nation, and 50% by Takasia Canal A.G. The joint-venture will then be in charge of the construction and operations of the canal. Takasia Canal A.G. will provide their experts and 50% of the cost.

And I believe it will not be financially sound for the joint-venture if we are not charging any UASS vessels. We suggest a subsidy from the Saletsian government to the UASS vessels is a more feasible idea.

Also, while Takasian military force will have no military presence in Saletsia and its waters, we would like to have the right of passage, with prior notice to the Saletsian government.

As the last note, we would like to name the proposed canal Canal Barga to honour your wisest decision of approving this canal.

We believe the terms are reasonable and hope you can consider carefully.

Sincerely,
CEO of Takasia Canal A.G., Gan Rongji
