The other nation Offers Us Exclusive Resource Rights in the region

their government has approached us with a surprising offer. They would like to provide us with one hundred percent the output of their natural ores and metals in the state of the region in exchange for the Dodecanese Islands. Our government has usually dealt in the business of acquiring land rather than surrendering it, but Turkey offers us a source of our own from which we can stockpile resources that could be vital to any large-scale war effort. We also must consider that these are resources that we may not be able to get access to once a war begins in earnest. The choice of whether to take their up on their offer is a matter ultimately up to us.
