Our Situation
I know I could attempt to woo you guys with valiant stories of how we're working very hard to get our country liberated or I could dodge around what we've seen in the media the past week, but let's face it. We're in a tough situation.
Here is what has gone down this month:
Italy: Shortly after the term started, Italy approached us with an offer. They wanted to pay us taxes plus extra to rent three regions. We accepted on the terms that we enter a training war to help with TP gold production. This deal seemed like a no brainer. With little effort we were getting paid while spending nothing. To be completely honest, I was not anticipating any backlash from you guys. It did seem like a win, even though Canada rarely signs these deals. (Last big one was Spain I believe)
The Myth: Since we've done it before against USA, Spain, Poland, UK, Hungary, Russia, Germark etc, (The list goes on, I am pretty sure we have been invaded by everyone in eRep) we can liberate ourselves from Albania and Italy. Let's do the RW game.
The Reality: The aforementioned RW strategy requires a lot of players putting some time and commitment into this game. We need players supplying tanks, we need CO money, we need people staying up late into the early morning hours to ensure victory, we need 10,000 cc to start each RW. Unfortunately, we are lacking these extra hands. Through all this, we have been looking at all possible options, even now with our friends in Asteria and Orion as well as elsewhere. At the moment, the only deal we have is this one.
However, the deal is renewable at the start of each new CP term, so I do want to know what you think of it. I've heard some reactions, but I want to hear everyone's stance. Here is where you can share your opinion and affect our future decisions on the matter.

Tanks for Ranks and Food for Noobs
I know we have supply program for Division 1 and 2, excellent article here however if you are of a higher rank and need some food and/or tanks, please comment below or shoot me a PM. If there is enough interest, perhaps we can expand the current program or look at opening another one.
Norway
In some sadder news, our old Asgard ally, Norway has been taken over by a hostile Chilean MU via dictatorship. I ask that you support our real friends in Norway and stay tuned on any battles for liberation they may have.
Comments
You didn't even make proper terms of us lowering our taxes to 1%. You half assed the entire term. Let's find new blood to run the show.
Lowering taxes means they pay less.
Like I've said crappy terms should of been a flat rate of 30k and we could lower taxes. You made bad terms.
I didn't have much negotiating room.
Doesn't the agreement say that they'll pay us $30,000 regardless?
Why would we lower the tax? They make 800 cc a day from us and we make 2500 and they refund theirs plus a small bonus.
Why shoot ourselves in the foot?
We actually need the money.
When did Italy agree to give us our tax money back on top of the rent? That's not written into the agreement.
Also the 5th of the month is not the first day of a CP's term, it's the last of an old CP's term. You should have made it the 10th or 15th of the month or some other random day.
He is not saying that.
The rent figure was based on what they thought the tax income would be (800 a day) plus a small bonus. Italy said they would increase the rent it if we increase the tax. It was an understanding.
I really don't see this lasting long enough to worry about the date. I assume they chose that date so the people in charge now could guarantee payment as someone new might have other ideas.
Of course some of their people are writing articles that they are paying to much.
"They wanted to pay us taxes plus extra to rent three regions. We accepted..."
What am I missing?
I'll tell you what the agreement's missing: an actual guarantee that we'll get more money from them than what's collected in taxes. If they end up collecting even $1,001 a day, we start losing out.
It seems pretty simple a concept to me - if what I've quoted above is what both parties wanted in the agreement then it should have been written into the agreement.
Since it's not, we have absolutely no control on our taxes. We can't raise our taxes - not that I'm suggesting we do so - because there's nothing guaranteeing that we'd collect the part going to Italy. We could, theoretically, lower our taxes and collect even more in rent than we give them but it doesn't sound like that'll happen.
Speaking of things happening, did we ever even get this month's 30k cc?
You sounded like you are saying they are going to pay us the tax's plus the 30K rent.
You can look at how much they are getting on the econ page. It is not more then the 800 we based the rent on. I have never noticed it hit even 900. .
Payment is not due until the 5th. They mentioned they would pay this weekend.
I'm saying that the agreement mentions nothing about taxes, only the $30k but that klop said the arrangement was for taxes and an amount on top of that. That's simply not how the agreement was written.
So at the moment, our taxes and the extra is covered by the $30k but because the agreement is written so badly and reliant on unwritten agreements, we have no control over our tax rate at the moment.
Put simply, what klop wrote above is not in the agreement.
Speaking of not in the agreement, there's actually nothing in there about paying rent this month, only paying $30,000 next month upon renewal on the 5th. Did you guys even read it before you signed it?
We know what we agreed to and they know it. We will be paid in the next few days. No lawyers were involved and their was a meeting of the minds. A hand shake would of done.
No one wanted to do the math everyday so we estimated which has proven correct.
Look at how much tax they get on their econ page. It is not a mystery.

You did great this month bro! Good luck next month and keep it up! You have my vote! 🙂
Oinyo! Somehow I stumbled on a video of you shaving on the sidebar of my Youtube page a while back. (I agree, old style safety razors are great)
Ha! yeah. I have a small chain of vids of me shaving with different things 😛 Just something to make people laugh. Glad you saw it!
Just get Norway to sellout and cut a deal for their freedom
I'm sure you can show them how

I have no issues with the deal. Make sense to focus on one enemy rather than fighting two.

For the noobs, of course.
If we get some additional support I see no problem expanding the NCSP to include upper divisions. However, it will be expensive and I will need to find some more active people to help out, because the demand is quite large.
You suck! Down with the dictator! Libertas!

pi, e, and i.
tau
heresy! Pi is the traditional value, tau is merely more useful.
Agreed. Pi Day is traditionally more festive than tau.
