"It's a pleasure to have you here, please go to the gala living room" The Tsar walks to the living room, which was quite large and decorated with many ornaments such as paintings, candlesticks and metal and gold figures.
"The price of each Vulture A-4Q is 15.5 million Australs," said Tsar Achaga. One could notice the Tsar with a serious and strong tone, even though she would speak with respect at all times.
OOC: 15.5 million Austral = 15 million dollars, but Akatia only conducts business with its national currency.
"Great, I'll ask Mr. Yavuz how many we can buy. Mr. Yavuz?" says the Shahanshah.
"With the funds we brought along, we will be able to buy the 10 A-4Qs," replies Yavuz. "I had converted the funds to Australs on the ride here."
"Great," the Shahanshah replies. He then turns to Tsar Achaga.
"We would like to buy 10 A-4Qs. Yavuz can wire the funds to you or we can give the funds in cash."

Iran accepts and sends troops to Egypt for the military exercise.

Spain accepts the invitation and starts sending troops to Egypt for Operation Starry Night. They encourage Canada, Iran and Caleon to join them.
Meanwhile, Spain proposes a list of twenty international tracks to be raced on, similar to the now-extinct Formula One (OOC: I'm assuming it's gone just for RP sake - let's say it ran out of funding). They would be subject to the same regulations, as agreed on by a panel of experts, including previous drivers*. The first season would start in February 2031.
*Examples include Fernando Alonso from Spain, Sebastian Vettel from Caleon and Lewis Hamilton from Hypron, subject to agreement.
OOC: For the Olympics, maybe randomise the medals and reveal the winners OOC via telegram to each other? I'd happily do that if you want.
The citizens of Iran take notice of these new race tracks and many ask that Iran creates a national racing team. The government responds that though it can recognize a national team, it will not control the team much (in order to reduce government reach). They state that as Iran is very diverse, Iran's regions can recognize their own regional teams as well.
OOC: I was thinking the same thing about the medals. You can do it if you would like.

Caleon doesn’t want to deal with the Egypt crisis, and Caleon proposes that the international community gets to decide what tracks we go to. Also, Caleon sends its own drivers that are made up of different combinations of driver names from NASCAR.
OOC: What's the IC date ATM? Maybe we should put a date on each post?
OOC as well: Hypron, Canada, when will you be free to do the meeting?
OOC: I'm not sure what to do about the dates. RP time is weird: if we define the time passing, the RP ends up becoming very rigid, but if we don't define time, one post can cover anything from a few moments to an entire day.

..and probably a few more that I didn’t mention.
Caleon realizes that there is a lot of tracks to choose in a group of 29, so they propose a 32 race schedule.
Iran is open to a racing competition, but asks how Caleon will acquire the American racing tracks.
OOC: Please see my reply to Joushiki about the time. We can ask Hypron their opinion as well.

The first batch consists of only 500 but Canada has deemed an ultimate peacekeeping force of 2000 Canadian peace keepers. Over time they will be spread out over the country. As of right now all 500 are concentrated in Cairo. Positions include the harbour, main streets and major tourist attractions like the pyramids.
Canada will not be participating in the military exercises and operation starry night. Canadian forces are neutral and in order to identify them as peacekeeping troops they wear bright red helmets the a UN colour blue maple leafs on the helmet itself.

Canada is not into the car racing culture. We are however concerned about the potential handover of American racetracks over to Caleon.
Racetracks in Canada fall under a collective "Crown Corporation", OLG, owned by the government of Canada. However cars don't usually race on them for the most part. Mainly it's used for horse racing and gambling through bets.
The Canadian peacekeepers are warmly welcomed to Egypt by the Egyptian government and people. Though the protectorate status is controversial among the native Egyptians, they mostly agree that the Canadians are there to guarantee peace.

Aren't most of those in the USA? Spain was proposing more of an international one - four from the Americas, six from Europe, eight from Asia and the Middle East and two from Oceania, for example (although those are just arbitrary values).
OOC: Caleon has this plan that they'll buy/acquire the tracks from America.
"Oh darn, this is going to pop Caleon's bubble," says that Salman dude from earlier.
The PMs yell at him to shut up.
