>importing cars from a developing country

West Erinaum has a lot of farmland, so utility vehicles are always in demand.

Don't be so quick to dismiss it.

[Mikoyan]

Well if they want poorly made cheap cars then let them have at it I guess

[SWAT One]

Erinaum is assisting them in their development.  By this point, Abdullahian students would have gone to Erinese universities, and been exposed to some of the best engineering programs in the world.

You'd think if they were educated they'd do themselves good and move OUT of a developing country right?

Utah requests an increased shipment from Abdullahi, because the demand is high in Utah.

pretty soon I'm going to have to make a "Good guy United Order of Utah" meme man come on.

The request is fulfilled.  With so many car sales, both manufacturers are offered contracts to produce vehicles for the military.  Each is to make their own vehicles based on designs sent to them by the government.  The manufacturer with the best designs will receive the contract.

Some Erinamese citizens are liking the look of the new cars and petition the Erinamese government to import them.

Blazer, do you have a luxury line of cars yet?

There's only one car however if they're in high demand in Erinaum then production and designing can be kicked into high gear.

You'd think if they were educated they'd do themselves good and move OUT of a developing country right?

They split from the AC because they wanted an ethnic identity, not to build cars.

Swat One, supporting the warlords.  How odd.

Due to increasing anti-Abdullahi sentiment among the AC populous, the AC enacts a flat out embargo on Abdullahi goods.  Normally, the AC is 98% pure market, but the people as a whole feel opposed to Abdullahi, so who are a few merchants and the government to stand in their way?  Immediately following the Embargo, the AC issues a statement to its people that the AC will not provoke military action against Abdullahi even if the people should riot.

The next day, there are a few small scale riots denouncing Abdullahi which lose steam as police calmly and coolly supervise.

The AC begins research on making its explosives more powerful, more compact, and even more powerful after that.

Thank you for restraining yourself, Plethora.  Can't thank you enough.

Thank you for restraining yourself, Plethora.  Can't thank you enough.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not.

After Abdullahi's response to the Embargo, the AC recommends that all of its allies (Belsnia, Atsnia, Klevinstein, Plexia) enact similar embargoes.  The AC will be glad to pick up any slack as far as imports/exports to/from the yet developing Abdullahi that complying nations may suffer.

[SWAT One]

Not sarcasm.  You're not pointing guns at me, and I thank you for acting in a more civilized manner.

Why would I enact a trade embargo against my own protectorate and fellow PRTU member?

[Plethora]

I didn't ask you to.  I asked "Belsnia, Atsnia, Klevinstein, Plexia" to do so because they are my direct allies (history has shown mostly Belsnia and Atsnia).  Asking you to embargo Abdullahi would be like asking me to give land to Abdullahi, not going to happen.

Also, you can thank me enough.  Thanks in the form of railgun technology specifications would be greatly appreciated.

[SWAT One]

That ain't free yo.
