McPherson looked at the document carefully, "We are not a nation that looks for trouble sir" he began with a smile, "Our Navy is there merely to defend ourselves from the world that spread propaganda about us while never having actually tried working with us, I'm just pleased a sensible man such as yourself has seen fit to work co-operatively." Truth be told McPherson clearly hoped one day the whole world would see the right path he lead his nation on, but he knew that was a long way off and that the USR had failed to achieve it because of their constant sabre rattling, as his mother had famously told him, "You catch more flies with honey than you do with shit" , the thought brought another smile to his face.
"In terms of this document there is not much to worry about, all seems in order, however may I suggest a few edits. First if we are building this port and then retrieving the money through the income may I suggest that the treaty say "but will receive a combined total of 66.6% of all income, to be split between them according to proportion of funds provided." he looked sideways at Svetlana, "You see the exact split of the investment has yet to be fully confirmed between our two nations. This re-wording means it is up to us to determine. I would also like to suggest that in perpetuity our nations not be charged any port fees beyond the cost of use of facilities for using the port. We cover the wages of the workers operating on the vessels, we cover parts and consumables but no profit is made from our use. You may of course be free to fleece the rest of Mundus as much as you wish. In return we will select one port in Kaitaine to have a reciprocal arrangement."
"Article 3 may present more difficulties, you see to ensure that all people within our nation profit from their own labour all industry is state owned and operated, allowing full free trade will see your nations businesses able to establish themselves in Kaitaine taking our workers labour profits out the nation. What I purpose is that goods made in the FIR are permitted to be sold in our shops, so long as they conform to local safety laws of course, and that we shall not place on them the usual top up that we do on most foreign goods. As all trade the other way will be our government selling to you then I feel a guarantee of no tariffs being placed on our goods would be a fair compromise."
"As for Article 4 I would like to suggest a reword, "The undersigned nations allow free tranist of any/all craft through their waters by the signatories of this bill." however this is also something covered in the FSC so perhaps it is redundant, perhaps a better agreement would be, "The undersigned nations agree to give notice of military vessels transiting through the EEZ of the signatory nations for peaceful purposes."
