Curiosity forces the spotlight to the far south, to Egypt. The Egyptians are considered both Religious and Industrious. Their unique unit (War Chariot) is considerably obsolete and they are currently at war with sizeable alliance of nations.

Once again, the purpose of this discussion is to assist this ministry in developing a cohesive foreign policy towards our fellow civilizations. For simplicity's sake, I suggest we attempt to categorize our official policy in one of the following ways:
  • Gracious Ally - These nations are considered our most trustworthy allies. All trades are generally accepted and sometimes gifts are exchanged. We would gladly come to this nation's aid in a time of need.
  • Trading Partner - Practically all proposed deals are accepted. Alliances, MPPs, and Embargoes must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
  • Friend - Generally favorable opinion. Most trades are accepted unless not in our best interests. Alliances, MPPs, and Embargoes must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
  • Rival - Generally unfavorable opinion, but publicly treated as a Friend. Most trades are accepted unless not in our best interests. Alliances, MPPs, and Embargoes with this nation will not be accepted, and those against must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
  • Foe - Generally unliked. Technologies are not proferred to this nation and most trade deals would be rejected unless we clearly benefit more. Embargoes are our prefered weapon against these nations, and Alliances and MPPs against this nation must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
  • Hated Enemy - As the name implies, these nations would be our most hated enemies. No trades are offered or accepted. We would actively seek to establish Trade Embargoes against these nations whenever possible and all out war is preferred to peace.
 
Is there no compassion for the oppressed Egyptians? The world wages war on them and we shy away from even discussing their plight?

Perhaps we should join in the fight in hopes of befriending nearby Babylon and/or England? Or shall we let this war run its course before determining our official policy towards them?

If I do recall, the Egyptians were one of the nations that extorted gold from us in a previous turn chat. Such behavior does not sit well with me personally, and as such, I believe it only fair that we consider them a Foe.
 
The Egyptians should be our friends. There UU is obsoleate and they are on the other side of the world :).
