The other nation Suggests Joint Resource Extraction Effort in Caucasus

their government has admitted to sending surveyors and prospectors into Georgia to assess the ore output from our mining efforts, and have approached us with a portfoilo which suggests a way in which both of our nations can better benefit from a joint mineral extraction effort. It is a perhaps unprecedented phenomenon for a state actor to admit to a form of spying and then attempt to spin that confession into a plan to foster closer relations between our two nations, but that is the predicament we now find ourselves in. Nobody can deny that their government is one unwilling to take risks. their portfolio is comprehensive and thorough; their would expose and extract the ore veins they found and provide to us the majority of the haul while moving a portion of the finds to the region for their own use. We likely will not uncover what their have discovered for many years to come, but we can use the plans sent to us to improve our extraction processes in Georgia for a lesser yield and without needing their aid. The decision of whether to work alone, or to accept the offer of aid from their government falls to us.
