[Lord Mhork]

No but I'm very much interested in where this supposed leak came from.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[orcinus_theoriginal]

so you don't even deny the accusation

and instead revert to attacking in a method of "whoa how can you know this SPY SPY SPY"

when the intel mechanics was just clarified

:/ Overall C-

[Lord Mhork]

No. I'm interested in how someone can know so much about slight budget alterations. This was a very private, very internal expense if indeed that is the one he is discussing. And I understandably wish to purge agents that have infiltrated that far.

Topo wishes to withdraw the 1 billion from the bank of the Silverlands. We fear, with hostilities increasing between our neighbor and the Silverlands, we may be cut off from the Toposian investment.

Additionally, we wish to invest

.5 B in the creation of a investigation team

with the express goal of discovering the person or persons responsible for this recent Gazeboian controversy.

Topos would like the Mushroom Kingdom to explain their spending on espionage.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Addendum: The investigation team is to discover whether the Holy Empire of Mhork is indeed responsible for the Arrakis issue, or if it is some another agency.

I apologize for this clarification.

The Silverlands is a country that operates in the highest professionalism and prides itself on that. We would take a dim view on any nation who would assume our foreign policy is so volatile that it would infringe upon the rights of our monetary investor partner nations.

When someone invests in The Silverlands we like to think they are not doing it purely out of the novelty, and are rather upset by your knee-jerk withdrawal. There are no hostilities. A nation of peace and no spies does not allow external affairs to engulf them.

Having said that though, we do empathise with your position as we too stick by our own allies when they need us.

Last post in this thread for now.

Deposit 1B into the bank of the Silverlands

[chesskid3]

Lord Chesskid slowly waddled towards his podium, his face grim and sober. He looked straight into the camera, into the eyes of Chesstopians everywhere.

I'm sure you've all been watching with shocked eyes at the news recently, of how corrupt and ill-intentioned other nations can be, and how quickly this peace we have between our countries turns to talk of war. It is with a heavy heart that I must spend much more of our great countries money on military and defense than I had otherwise planned, but I will go to any lengths, and do anything to keep my people safe.

Thank you, and good night, loyal Chesstopians.

And he waddled away, waddle waddle.

1 billion on upkeep

500 million on more funding for orphanges

3 billion on counterintelligence

Call them the CCC- the Chesstopian Covert Counterintelligence

3 billion on border security

If it's coming into this country, I want it searched. I want it questioned.

2 billion on further improvements to the mining of minerals technology

[chesskid3]

Border security includes like
border defenses like
turrets
and stuff btw

spend the rest on however many more troops that can buy me

(it's not much money. Just worried with everyone talking about war here)

[chesskid3]

Chesstopia likes the idea of the railroad, by the way. Funds are a bit tight at the moment, but we approve and will help with the planning.

[chesskid3]

And we* don't expect construction to get underway until we can afford to pay our fair share

[chesskid3]

I accidentally a word that made that sound agressive when it was actually friendly so I editted it back in

[TS]

And don't expect construction to get underway until we can afford to pay our fair share

sure

We'd like to share your project on mineral/material technology research and pay half the costs for half the patent rights. We have the only international patent office in Gazebo so can protect any researched technologies. This, combined with a quota on the amount of exported rare minerals, can protect the long-term future of our Oekezzian nations.

From Arrakis:

Public opinion of the Empire of Mhork has dropped considerably in Arrakis. We are personally not satisfied by his apology, so our trade embargo will continue. You mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Additionally, 2.5B into counterintelligence.

[Lord Mhork]

Here's a fair idea. Instead of complaining about not liking the apology and saying you're gonna continue the embargo, you say specifically what is wrong and we can work to rectify the issue. Is that so complex and idea for the general public?

The attack upon Arrakis was not sponsored by the Holy Empire. Why are you continuing your embargo?

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

The Silverlands proposes the following framework for

Okezziarail

:


The red squares indicate capital cities and the red circles indicate other cities (feel free to add your own)
The green lines are the international high-speed rails and the purple ones are domestic subsidiary rail links (again, feel free to add your own)

On an unrelated note, The Silverlands would like to turn the beautiful, exotic and wildlife-rich green island just below its country into a opulent resort to attract tourists and money. This special economic zone is free of the strict Silverlands border control and is self-ruled with its own assembly. People travelling between the resort province and The Silverlands would be subject to the anti-spy border controls though.

Invest 1B into this project

[chesskid3]

TS: Chesstopia is happy to pool the resources for the funding of much more profitable and efficient ways of mining minerals. We welcome your assistance and funding.

Pedit: Why is chesstopia so much smaller than the other countries

Xalxe made the map, the person you replaced either picked that spot or was given it by default.

Hmph.

If you're concerned about size, you're welcome to share some of the unexplored lands we discover below Oekezzia if you fund southward exploration with us (ideally the legal fees for actually having the land internationally recognised as ours and under joint rule)

[Lord Mhork]

On a more positive note, the notorious Markman Gaorth has apparently been apprehended and is now I'm custody.

If the Silverlands Bank can guarantee its neutralness, the Council of the People has authorized me to rescind the withdrawal, and to

invest an additional 1 B in the bank

. We apologize if there was any slight made upon your bank.

High Chancellor Klazam

EDIT: Bolding added.

EDIT: Bolding added.

The bank is automatically run by bankers with calculators, spreadsheets and fancy pencils. It is kept separate from political affairs, and whilst The Silverlands have inherent ties to the Oekezzian pact, its foreign policy is still neutral.

(not like we could do anything if we weren't though as we have no spies or army)

[Klazam]

Thank you for the prompt assurance.
