Indiana Empire and 5years Alliance Negotiations

King Eric Holcomb of the Indiana Empire confidently and proudly struts into a small, poorly lighted room in South Bend, where the negotiations for the alliance between the Indiana Empire and 5years shall be discussed. He plops down in a small, spinning chair and two servants come out from behind him and pull his robe out, and set it over the back of the chair. He gives a confident smile, and begins in a strong and confident voice.

"Hello, those who represent 5years! As you know, I have thought it would be in our best interests for us to work together as nations. I believe that when we leave this meeting, we will both come out as stronger nations! Now, let us begin." King Eric claps his hands, and a servant rushes to Eric and readjusts the crown on his head and readjusts his robe.

"I believe that trading will be a big part of negotiations. Now, here in the Indiana Empire, we have many types of resources to offer. Fish, corn, in fact, pretty much any livestock or food you can imagine! We have a large sector of automobiles, and several other resources. What does 5years have to offer, resource wise?"

President Credit Why John walks into the room and sits down in one the chairs."Hello King Eric. We have so many resources such as: gold, silver, jewels,uranium, salt, phosphate, and many more metals."

King Eric smiles and looks extremely pleased when hearing this, and even looks at some of his servants and gives them the ever-elusive smile of King Eric. He grins, and says in a light-hearted manner:

"This is great! Materials like those are not very common in the Indiana Empire. I believe that if we trade, both of us will be much richer. I have a question for you, Mr. John. Do you believe we should have a defensive alliance where we protect each other from threats?"

"Yes King Eric we should have a defense alliance. I do have 57.4 million soldiers. And I have 1,475,000,000 citizens. So 5years is densely populated."
