OOC: What do you mean? I'm trying to turn Fiji into a mix of OTL Dubai and Las Vegas. I'm not selling locals into slavery on uranium mines.

We love it. We'd like to shoot a movie about Fiji and debut it during the Porto Alegre Awards For Film Excellence (OOC: you think of a better name). It'll be all about the culture of the islanders. And how you should visit it, due to it being an exotic locale.
We're excited about your offer. Besides documentaries, we also offer our administrative assistance (or even joint production) for an epic historical movie set in the Cakobau era and describing the ascension of warlord Seru Epenisa Cakobau and his expeditions to Tonga. We also encourage using native Polynesian actors for majority of roles (although we would understand your desire to star some popular Argentinean actors for some of the leading roles, if it brings audience to the theaters).

Call it what you want, Angrezi, it's just a new way of exploiting your colonial subjects.
You should make arrangements to properly invest in and preserve Fijian culture and people, rather than using them to attract drunk Mexican tourists to your casinos.

That's a very long way of saying "Hindustan is not interested."

Switzerland is open to trade pacts and diplomatic deals.

You think we have money to gamble? The Sultan's throne is basically balsa wood with gold paint at this point.
Hey, to raise some funds, you totally could allow gambling in some picturesque cities of your country, like Agra. You could call it Taj Mahal Casino. Oh, wait...

Kinda hard to negotiate for those when your default position is that you are neutral and thus would like to stay out of trade pacts and diplomatic deals.

I didn't choose my nations default postion. It was like that before I took control of it.
Yeah, but you're playing Switzerland. You can cancel your neutrality status if you want.

I will keep my neutrality status.
After due consideration, Japan would now like to claim responsibility for the nuclear test in the Pacific. We swear on our very honor and sense of dignity to never use these horrific weapons first in any conflict, and sincerely hope we never need to use them at all. They are purely for the defense of Japan and the Co-Prosperity Sphere. We would like to take this opportunity to discuss nuclear non-proliferation so that less responsible parties be denied the chance to develop atomic bombs.

To Japan
We appreciate Japan's eventual disclosure of the nuclear weapons test, but we also would like to point out that the entire handling of this case makes it look rather bad: to secretly test the most destructive weapon in history, belatedly admit it, and immediately request that nobody else follows Japan's example. We, however, must admit that we share Japan's desire to keep nuclear weapons away from aggressive, unstable, or insecure regimes. In any way, the Empire will withhold from further statements on the topic until its leadership properly analyzes the new post-conventional warfare reality and fully understands its stakes, risks, and necessities.

Narayana Sharma felt old seeing the young man, correction, man before him. Except the for dark hair and fewer lines on his face he was a exact copy of Narayana down to the smile and the way he held himself. Was this the boy who went out to war fifteen years ago? He still had the picture on his desk of him before being sent to Basic Training, the boy looking stern and proud for his parents and older brother. That was another time however, the man now was tall and strong and a picture of health. "Tell me about this training program you started. I have heard you are pretty rough with some of the men." Karan laughed at this, "Just basic military training, they are too used to fighting the street dogs and a wolf surprises them. I picked the best single men who do not drink, no drugs or gambling and start exercising them into good shape. Then we focus on hand to hand combat and baton training and working as a team."
"Where are you training them? How come no one in the police or Special Bureau have noticed this before?"
"One of your farms about twenty kilometers from here. No one notices another hundred laborers when they pass by. We also do the same with about ten percent of the socialists who pass the test."
"What test?"
"Your men and the socialists have to be vouched for by three other people. This means we clean out anyone who might talk too much after drinking or talk to the police if they were picked up. We make them feel that they are part of a special unit with high standards, an esprit de corps. They are paid better than the average worker but we expect more from them. I have been surprised at the results, men I thought did not have a chance have leapt at the opportunity."
"So can they fight? They need to be ready after the monsoon season for voter registration "
"Against the Army or veteran police officers no. They have bigger guns and more training. Against another goonda or some Prince's lackeys then definitely. The Socialists are going to make sure everyone in the country is registered and that is going to provoke the Thakurs (Lords) and Princes. These men should be used as a special weapon and not a club."

We are aware this paints us in a less than flattering light, but nothing we could have possibly done in this situation would have. What's done is done.

Have you tried not testing a nuclear weapon? I heard it works well.
Looking forward, Japan would like to announce the creation of the World Martial Arts Tournament. It will be held every five years* and will determine the world's most skilled fighter. All styles are welcome, but only one can prevail.
*The tournament after this year will be held in 1955, as if the tournament had started in 1950.
