"Well Mr Blairus" Jade said seductively "Ottarria would like to establish a 3 way trading system over most goods such as arms, agriculture and more. Additionally we want to strengthen the bond between Ottarria, lignuntia and the kingdom of gold and Iron.
The Consul is taken aback by the inappropriate behaviour of Vancas, he opts to just get through this "Well as you'd imagine I'm not very happy with Gold & Iron, they had the audacity to take our equipment and then cut all ties, so I'd much like to attend such event, what are they bringing to the table?"
"Well I am not able to speak on their behalf however from what I know they want to mend relations between Lignuntia and the kingdom. Also I believe they would agree to a trade guarantee like Ottarria would want.
Antonius contemplates, initially hesitating, upon advice from his chief of staff he obliges "If that truly is the case then I'd be happy to attend this meeting, I hope relations can be fixed and past quarrels put to bed."
"Bonae fortunae tibi" he ends amicably and in a friendly manner.
Consul Blair convenes with his Eagle House Staff about the upcoming meeting, press conferences and travel arrangements, Aquila-1 is prepared at Aquitania International Airport for Travel to Alpathonia.
Receiving this message back, the Axilonians begin organizing weapon shipments and send a response back:
"Of course fellow comrades. You have the support of the Oshukerith. However, there is something we must handle first."
Official Statement
Axilonia has sent out a official statement stating they are officially offering Axilonian military support to the Rocker Revolutionary Militia in the Talimanian Political Crisis.
Akilianlamordianipor voices is support for this action, seeing as we wish to stay with friendly relations with the Axilonians (who we barely knew existed.... Dang didn't see that post at first)
The Sufet, hearing about the support of Axilonia, has sent out a message voicing his support for the Axilonian involvement, offering to supply troops skilled in anti terrorism and unconventional warfare (TIPA) once some other business is attended to.
The Swaliens are thanked for their support, and as such we request actual military support in the Talimanian region, if absolutely necessary.
Secret
Axilonia has thanked their friends in Qart Qart Hadasht, but as of currently we aren't sure as to how much support we will need from the Neo-Punic. As we already have plenty of ability to support the Rockers via ammunition and firearms, and we don't plan to actually get involved in the war officially, unless it is absolutely necessary...
Such a request to the Swaliens is, acceptable. We will give support to the Axilonians if they request it, however it will of course be limited in nature. However, this will be coming at a future debt that we will be asking Axilonia to pay for any Swalien military equipment damaged in the fighting at some point in the future.
Excerpt from the Imperial Taxation Services, Rebate Department
Due to an exceedingly large budget surplus caused by the downsizing of the Federal Government and the repayments of Federal loans by foreign debtors, the Imperial government has chosen to reallocate 22 Trillion 190 Billion Monteas of unspent revenue into federal rebates. These effective tax refunds are eligible to 6.34 Billion Imperials, at a maximum of 3500 Monteas per eligible recipient.

Kicker: DNN
Hello Imperium Im Monsieur Molotov and my existence predates the regional map. The Imperial government in Pandemonium has permitted the Imperial Taxation Services to reallocate last years budget surplus to a so called ‘Imperial kicker,’ which entails payments from the government to the citizens up to 3,500 monteas, which for some plaguetopians represents several weeks of labour.
“We believed that moving this surplus into the FSA (Federal Savings Accounts) would represent stagnation in Imperial Economic policy, a rebate however would spur investment and give Imperial citizens further economic freedoms” Chairman of the ITS Helion Xros said. “If this program has a positive effect on the economy, the dmataslaraad could sponsor legislation that would enshrine this or similar programs into federal law.
The effect of the kicker has been almost immediate, large investments in the Prime Corporations of the Imperium, alongside large reported revenue from consumer manufacturers such as clothing giant Xron and electronics manufacturer Stea’m. Similarly the stock of the software corporation SOTTEC has seen a meteoric rise, forcing Ceo Jelay Uranus to approach the board to discuss a stock split.
While in the short term the rebate has had economic benefits, some critics have discussed their discomfort at the idea of government rebates. “what we have is a situation where in theory the government gives money to people who overpaid taxes for the purpose of long term investment. What happens is that the consumer, who already has investments and a stable bank account due to policy, will instead spend on shortsided purchases or on vainly hedonistic things, that only go to line the pockets of the megacorporations that comprise near the entirety of the consumer economy. This is not a rebate, its a government subsidy for the consumer sector.”
