Retech

Japan petitions the two great economic powers of Europe, Germany and France, for a flat 5% tariff on all goods entering and leaving the Japanese free trade area.

I'm pretty sure that Australia would go with all the former British states tbh.

Japan and the other members of the Japanese-free trade area petitions the Free Trade Union for a low, flat tariff of 5% on all goods sent either way.

Japan puts many researchers from Kyoto University, one of the finest in the world, into further research on moss related energy. ----- I won't be purchasing the technology because I do not believe in paying other governments for such technology. Any products involving such plastics can be acquired without purchasing the technology, as Japan does not need to produce the plastic by itself. After all, Japan will have massive supply of "oil" made from moss, so oil-free plastics is not needed. The research was intended to give all nations access to the technology. Oil-free plastic is not a military tech, so I think that it does have to be shared. Japan declares the "Nagoya peace accord" a success.

Japan asks for the documents to be turned over. If this is done, then Japan officially abandons research on oil-free plastics. Oh btw, so what were the things you disagreed about in the treaty and that you were replacing?

Sorry for double post, but Archi doesn't like reading edits. Japan demands the flex-fuel tank developed by Honda and Toyota to be returned immediately to Japan, with all documents related to it destroyed in Swiss records. If such action is taken, then plans to develop oil-free plastics will be scrapped.

And the proceeds of the sale goes to who? I'll pay if it goes directly to him.

Correct, but the research is not covered by a patent. It's a government research, and generally government research is not covered by patents. So I might as well save the gold and develop it myself.

Does that mean that you agree to the treaty?

Arresting lawyers is never good. I wouldn't want them to arrest my lawyers if I had to return the favor, so they are given safe passage. Japan replies that the oil-free plastics research is being conducted by Switzerland, and is not being sold commercially. If the plastic was owned by a private company, and was sold commercially, then Japan drops the research. Otherwise, it views it as blocking access to a useful technology.

Here's how I see the situation right now. Here's a preliminary draft, so we can work from there. Anything I miss? Switzerland: -Deports seditionists, rather than detaining them. -Provide cheap electricity to Europe from the Rhine Dam. -Stops interfering in the European economy -Guarentees some minimum flow of the Rhine Germany: -Stops invading Switzerland -Respect Swiss sovereignty -Stops commanding Nazis to attack random things -Removes embargo (if any) on Switzerland

Japan begins developing its own oil-free plastics tech to share with the world. It's estimated that the time of completion is the same as Switzerland, due to Japanese technically prowess, offset by Switzerland bribes their researcher.

Here's how I see the situation right now. Here's a preliminary draft, so we can work from there. Anything I miss? Switzerland: -Deports seditionists, rather than killing them. -Provide free electricity to Europe from the Rhine Dam, plus shares research on oil-free plastics with Europe. Furthermore, farmers losing their livelyhoods from the loss of the Rhine can be compensated. -Stops trying to mess up the European economy -Removes embargo (if any) on Germany. This does not mean free trade, but absolute embargo is suggested to be halted. Germany: -Stops invading Switzerland -Respect Swiss sovereignty -Stops commanding Nazis to attack random things -Removes embargo (if any) on Switzerland

Anyone want to go ahead and make a list of suggestions to write the new treaty? I don't even know what Switzerland and Germany want.

Peace talks begin! :thumbsup: Japan asks both sides to lay out what they wish to happen in simple list formats. ------ Japan has built the prototype of a short-ranged interceptor Jet. One of the best fighters one vs one in the world, its main problem is its lack of capacity to fly for long distances. The Jet is called the Nagoya Short-Ranged Interceptor Jet.

Random Latin - English translator. :thumbsup:

What the heck is a region crust? :)

-Prays that they aren't arrested for sedition- (What's a tellum Crusta?)

Japan sends Secretary of Peace Yamato Keoishi and a Buddhist monk to the peace talks.

Japan asks all nations that could potentially be involved to meet in some location to conduct peace talks.

The majority vote finishes tomorrow morning. Also, what do you think Sere?

Japan thanks Switzerland for informing it of the use of nerve gas and does not take action.

Japan condemns the chef for putting a cleaver in the Japanese tester. The chef's guild of Japan ceremoniously erases him from the wall of fame. Japan sends a delegation to Switzerland to ask if Japan (not the entire federation, just Japan) can join the TFTA, despite the ban by Switzerland.

Japan thanks Switzerland by sending a sushi chef with several poisonous puffer fish. The expert chef has not made a mistake in 50 years, and cuts the fish perfectly. He offers it to Switzerland as a sign of gratitude. Meanwhile, a poison test is quickly and easily administered on the fish to make sure it's not poisonous. The tester (also sent by Japan) is then killed by the chef throwing his cleaver in his skull, since he's disgraced that they would think he miscut the fish. When your people look at the tester kit, it comes back clean.

Japan asks Switzerland to only use nerve gas in defensive warfare, such as when being attacked, rather than using it as an offensive weapon against African soldiers.
