Greeting the leader of Vanarambaion, and your people.
According to our long tradition of “self sufficiency”, Koku kingdom have long been a closed country. Therefore, we have never attempted a contact with other nation before. However, as we expand, it is inevitable that we exchange goods and knowledge with other friend nations.

We have looked into the national description and wonder what other goods do your nation produce, other than arms, beef products, and uranium.

Besides electronics, pizza, and automobiles, our nation produce art crafts, house decoratives, jewelry, and silk cloths. Please feel free to discuss for trade between our two nations. We will be glad to discuss further on both trade and military agenda with you.

I am certain that we shall very much benefit from our closer cooperation.
I look forward to your reply.
With high regards,
Koku, King of Koku Kingdom.

Re: Relations

Vanarambaion has a vast potential that is without equal in much of the known world. While our focus is on manufacturing, especially military equipment, it is because we don't need to spend much time paying attention to our strong agriculural section.

We are very interested in relations with Koku, and would be willing to look at any agreement they would like to draw up for our consideration. While we favor protective tariffs, we have a favored nation status that we bestow on our allies pending their agreements. We await your suggestions.
