Discovered deposits of oil and gas also show promise for your nation's economy if your nation is able to possess the area. However, the move caused international dispute and your government hence decides which path to choose.
Validity: Valid only for nations with at least 250 million and not valid for nations with high levels of eco-friendliness.

[option]In the conference, the Minister of Defense, @@RANDOMNAME@@, adamantly declares: "The clay, I mean the territories of @@NAME@@ rightfully belongs to the territories of @@NAME@@". It has been proven by our archaeologists and scholars that our ancestors and fishermen from like 2000 years ago had been fishing on this sea and if that's not enough, we have old and dusty maps from our ancestors to prove our point! Think of the economic growth from the oil and gas deposits and the fisheries! And while we're on it, let's build some islands too there and remind Bigtopia and Maxtopia also of their "stolen lands""

[option]The Ambassador of Liliputia, @@RANDOMNAME@@ disagrees "You can't do that, you know. The sea and the islands does not belong to you! It violates international law and the seas you claimed overlaps with our exclusive economic something zones! Last Friday night, @@NAME@@'s navy ship even threw a fire cannon to our fishermen and drove them away! A fire cannon!

[option]One of your advisors tells to you: "You know you should not see this in a black and white situation. Why not cede some of the useless and worthless maritime areas to appease them and keep the resource-rich valuable zones to our own? And then in exchange in ceding some of the territory, strike a joint oil exploration deal with them, and they let us access in to their @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ markets. Their government can be easily bribed anyway, it's a win-win situation."

[option]The security is wondering how this guy was able to go to the conference. A man who you saw in a Whotube video shouts: "What, bribe? What, we're bribing and infiltrating other governments now! FOR TOO LONG @@NAME@@ HAD BECOME IMPERIALIST AND MEDDLED IN THE AFFAIRS OF OTHER NATIONS!! THIS VIOLETIST GOVERNMENT HAD FOR TOO LONG ABUSED AND INVADED MANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE VIOLETIST ELITE!
