Mephistophelia and Dijen Trade Negotiations

[Mephistophelia]

Aside from the Reception at the Sydney Opera House, once the Mephistophelian delegation had acquainted themselves with proper accommodations at the Shangri-La Hotel. The Prime Minister arrives at the Government House and proposes a trade agreement with Dijen officials: "I will be able to provide gratuitous exports of cheap productions of finished goods via China, vast quantities of iron and steel from Manchuria, the richest caliber of coal from North Korea, rubber produced in Guangdong, seafood from the East Asia Sea, hydrogen from our factories at Yongbyon; Mongolian wool, hides, and livestock, as well as agricultural fruits and vegetables from the steppes; and the finest ships (both for transportation and military-grade battleships/carriers) from South Korea. In exchange for any resources that your Foreign Minister would like to propose?"

Pace Howe, one of Dijen's finest diplomats, meets with the Prime Minister, "Welcome to Dijen!", he exclaims, "we hope to work together well, here is a list of our resources", he says as he passes the Prime Minister a sheet of paper.
Resources from Australia

"The resources from Madagascar would be worth slightly more, because we haven't build any sort of refineries over there yet, so unless you want them as unimproved resources", he says, "just let me know what you want".

"What we would like", Howe continues, "is some finished goods from China and rubber".

"Greetings, Most Honorable Diplomat, Pace Howe. We would like silver ($5 billion/year), rare earth elements ($45 billion/year), 1.15 billion barrels of petroleum ($40 billion/year), and 24 million joules of natural gas ($40 billion/year) from Australia. And we would be interested in semiprecious stones from your colony in Madagascar, once your factories begin mass operations, we're looking at importing $3 billion/year. We will provide finished goods (valued at $120 billion a year) from clothes to cars, day-to-day items and appliances; and rubber at 100,000 tons a year (valued at $13 billion). This memorandum will stand for the next five years, if Dijen accepts the terms and agreements. Our export-import trade would be proportionate at $133 billion/year.“

"We graciously accept your offer", begins Pace Howe, " and we look forward to working with you in the future. We have recently began a massive space program, and we have a couple of satellites with with quality cameras in orbit, and would like to offer you access to their video feed, in exchange for transport ships". He then asks eagerly, "what do you think"?

"we accept your ships, and are happy to be working together, and I hope you had a great time here in Dijen", Howe than asks, "I will be the Ambassador to your nation, who will be your Ambassador to us"?

I've sent the renown Okinawan diplomat, Dr. Hokama Tadamasa who's been influential in resolving the Diaoyu/Senkaku debacle between Japan and China. He will be the personal Mephistophelian ambassador to Dijen as he had worked for the embassy of 5years and Agattu previously and has a keen interest in Australian culture since he had visited the country as a child with his family in the years before Dijen. We hope he serves as a perfect conduit for diplomacy between our two nations as well.
