Request Land in Sinai canal_events.1

After having completed our survey of the Isthmus, we should now approach about the possiblity acquiring land in Sinai for constructing a canal.

Offer to build the canal.

Bridging the Seas canal_events.2

Ambassadors from … have approached us about the possibility of them acquiring land in Sinai in order to begin construction of a canal.

"Linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean would be extremely beneficial for not just us, but the rest of the world as well. Think about it, no longer would anyone need to sail around the whole of Africa to get to the east, and we would be right at the center of all the trade."

None of the cost and all of the benefit. The Suez Sale: +30000 Tax Income
We will not give away an inch of our land.

… Accepts Our Deal canal_events.3

The … Government has accepted our request to acquire land in Sinai in order to start construction on a canal.

Time to start building. The Suez Purchase: +30000 Government Expenses

… Rejects Our Deal canal_events.4

The … Government has rejected our request to acquire land in Sinai.

"How can they reject such an offer? We practically offered to build it for them, and after we spent all the time surveying the area. How could they be so blind to the potential of this project?" "You know what they say, when diplomacy fails, bring out the stick."

Diplomacy has failed us this time.

Connecting the Oceans canal_events.6

Ambassadors from … have approached us about the possibility of them acquiring land near Panama City to build a canal.

"We should at least let them try. They have already put in the effort to scout the area. Whose to say they won't just attack us also if we say no." "The mere question of if we would give up any of our land to foreigners should not even be entertained by this government. If they want our land, they will have to take it from us by force."
