Ever wonder why you can give foreign aid but never get offered any?
Well, Skandilund's going to help you out - for a price.
Title: A Little Gift from a Friend
The Issue: Skandilund has proposed sending financial aid to help your nation's troubled economy.
Validity: Nation has a very bad economy
Option 1: "I see your nation's been having a bit of financial trouble, @@LEADER@@," notes a representative from Skandilund, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "If you let us, we'd be more than happy to provide some help to your nation by allocating some funds to you for economic growth. Granted, we'd like to be paid back, eventually, but you'll be more than able to once you get your feet off the ground."

Option 2: "Our economy is doing perfectly fine without you, thank you very much!" asserts your Minister of Finance to the Skandilund representative, adding a few zeros to a number under "economic output" to prove @@HIS@@ point. "Sure, we may not have a powerhouse economy, but being effectively ruled by a foreign economy just to wind up crippled in debts? I think you'd better take your business elsewhere."

Option 3: A dodgy @@MAN@@ in an overcoat pulls you into another room. "Yo, buddy. I couldn't help but hear you've got a sweet deal made out for you. Now listen, don't pass up an opportunity like this. That money can fund an effective military capable of squashing them if they want their precious gifts to be repaid. We keep the money, they get the zip, and we become a military power to be reckoned with. It's win-win for us, buddy!"
