No, 3900 is not the amount of money you can use. Your INCOME is below 1000.

Actually since Yoshi didn't confirm the sale until after the lock, I considered your sale invalid. (Because the sale was made in need of war funds, when the war had "ended" and thus it'd be irrational to sell it)
But hey, in good news you get Dubai anyway!
Mozambique is not a possession to be returned; we reject the Australian oligarchy and will hereby offer our allegiance to someone besides Oz then.

Because if you do, your ability to foil suitcase bombings increases.
Indeed, you only reap x% of your GDP in income, with x% being your tax rate. Which in the case of China, is very delicate and will keep being forced downward more severely each time it is raised. Next cut will be 15%, one after that 20%, etc.

Then the government shall make sure that no taxes will be cut.

Yessir. So that's also still in your account.
At the very least, lots of interest income.
Mozambique is open to anyone but Oz's protection, including Angola's, but Angola will have to pay for it now.
What is important is that one makes it worth Mozambique's while to pursue all the necessary reforms...

Hanna, fed up with the client states of the Republic turning their backs against them has opted for two choices. Declare war against them as punishment for their transgressions or focus their energies off world. Hanna thought for a moment "With one of them siding with the 501st and the other just has anti-Coruscanti tendencies like the Nazis. I'm not going to risk angering my Pacific neighbor by invading the NCSA." Hanna staring into the horizon at New Port City, looking at the Space Port with ships ready and bound for Nova Terra.
Hanna knows better, especially trying to keep the Republic's image a far distance away from the Second Galactic Empire. "Empress Mariko would have nuked Quebec and the NCSA for their transgressions" Mariko said, but then thinks about the actions China made "And if Mariko had it her way, she'd blow the planet to kingdom come". Hanna turns to her desk "if my son was in charge, he'd have the guns of the Ragnarok-Class Superbattleships pointed at their ports to force them to return to the fold." Then she took her seat "But I don't want to have the Republic looking like ether China nor the Second Galactic Empire." Hanna, in a deep sigh "I just may as well accept the facts as is and just let them go." As she clenches onto her glass filled with iced tea. Hanna ultimately made her final decision, to focus the Republic's energies off world.
A few Parsecs away, aboard the Enerjak. Mariko's apprentice, Darth Grievous returned to give her the full report on the situation of Earth. "Have you found anything about Earth" Mariko barked at her apprentice. Darth Grievous kneeled before her master "Yes, Lord Hakai." Darth Grievous's eyes then lifts up into Mariko's Eyes "The Earth has recovered from the cataclysm. However, just like the old world. It's still divided with infighting amongst the nations." Mariko then lifted her head and looks at the ceiling of the ship "It's no big surprise, these idiotic Earthlings would do anything to try to stake a claim on the planet. With there client states, rebellions, and terrorists. It's a complete waste of time and the planet is better of blown up by the Death Star." Mariko then turns to her apprentice "If I can't have the planet, then no one can have it!" Then, Darth Grievous gave Mariko more information on the situation on Earth "The Republic of Coruscant has been rebuilding from the ashes of the cataclysm and has been growing steadily." Mariko's eyebrows began to flair in anger "What? Those traitorous gone native Coruscantis are actually thriving there?!." Darth Grievous looked into her master's eyes "Yes, they are. However, they've recently been hemoraging their neighboring client states and been refered to by this 'China' as a puppet state of this 'Hawai'i'." Mariko's eyes squinted then turns her head to the bridge windows "It's no surprise, they've abandoned their imperial legacy and it's starting to show on them. That's what happens when the refuges have gone native and starts to appease their neighboring... ...nations. Instead of outright conquering them and showing the use of force." Mariko then turns to face the front of the ship "Any other news?" Darth Grievous hesitantly answers her master "Well, do you know about thr 501st?" Mariko turns her head towards her apprentice "I've heard about them, they were sent by the inquisitors of Palpatine long before I was pulled out of the cloning vats." Darth Grievous then hesitantly continues "Well, apparently, they too have gone native, just like the Coruscanti refugees." Mariko then clenches her fist "So now we have two nations that have both abandoned their imperial legacy on Earth". "I would not be surprised if their next Chancellor is some runaway ninja" scoffed Mariko. Mariko then looks into her apprentice's eyes "I want you to go down to Earth and fill me in everything that goes on down on Earth. If you find Surface Marshal CivGeneral, don't kill him. Bring him to me..." Mariko then leans towards her apprentice "...ALIVE!" Darth Grievous took a quick bow "Yes my master." Darth Grievous quickly boarded her starship and made haste to Earth flying away from the Second Galactic Empire's fleet.

The orders are still technically locked and next turn hasn't rolled around yet, so Mozambique is still my client.

Trorrath Niss stood in front of the portal, ready to step through and emerge on a new unconquered world. The languages had already been deciphered by the slave Bryr linguists. A few of the intelligent apes would be coming along as translators with the team that would be the vanguard of the Moqrak Empire on the new world. An alarm flashing overhead distracted Niss, and when he looked up to the control room to see the General giving him the go-ahead Niss shouted out to the one hundred soldiers that surrounded him. “Members of the Expeditionary Force, you know the consequences of failure. We will conquer Monll-164-V1X for the Empire. Move out.” Niss would be the first to step through the portal, and he prayed to Phydtor that he would come out fine on the other end. The portals didn’t always work as well as the Imperial Propaganda Offices and their enslaved Jos experts said. He stepped through...
...and came out into blinding sunlight and oppressive heat. He appeared to be in the wilderness, as evidenced by the savanna that surrounded him. Niss heard a growl behind his back, and was amused to see a crouching lioness preparing to strike. He held up his sleqgun and pushed the firing stud. Out shot a beam of red brilliance, and when it dissipated all that remained of the lioness were four blackened paws. Niss smiled. As he turned, he saw more of his people arriving. His second, Tigh Guvsem, was the first to come through after him. When he saw the blackened paws he slapped Niss on the back, and said with a smile, “Gone hunting already? Promise you’ll keep some sentients for me!” Niss smiled.
~~~~~
Niss was seated on a plush chair in the middle of the library of the ex-ruler of Kongo. The unfortunately deceased man had put up quite a fight after he had seen his wife and daughters gang raped and then slowly cut open. Niss smiled at the memory, remembering that the wife had held out a full week with her internal organs spread around on the ground. It was all in secret, of course. His thoughts were interrupted when Tigh ran into the room, and right in the middle of the chapter on execution methods too! “Sorry to interrupt sir, but there’s a problem.”
“What?”
Tigh was sweating, and Niss could tell it would be very bad news. “Sir, the... the... the portal is gone. Closed. There was an explosion. On both ends.” Niss was very angry. He stood and disemboweled Tigh. Without that portal, he would have a much harder time conquering this world! Then again, it would mean he could become the Emperor on this planet, far away from the weaknesses of the Mainline...
~~~~~
Niss observed the man that he had brought into the palace. He was skinny, wore spectacles, and was very, very nervous. He was perfect. “Welcome, Jain Holt.” Holt nodded. “You have been selected as a replacement. I trust you know the situation.” Holt nodded, perspiring even more. “Good.” Niss smiled. No one would know, not yet...
~~~~~
Niss quietly ordered Holt to increase the spy network of Kongo in order to gain more knowledge of the world for Moqrak.

Primaire Jain Holt
Thank you, people of Kongo, for electing me to be your next Primaire! I will do my best to bring our glorious Republic the prosperity and power it deserves! I also declare one major reform enacted right this second, from now on we will use the fond as our national currency. Long Live the Republic!

Swear absolute allegiance to the Comintern as long as we uphold the ideals of true Communism, and then you can trust us to handle any problems you possess.

Well, my communist state is ruled entirely by the Primaire, who is elected by the Proletariat. Just call it a dictatorship because his powers are unlimited. They are unlimited because he was elected by the popular vote.
EDIT:
Speaking of which, does Comiterm have an open spot on the midnight raid to Xinjiang?

Our leader, Angola/Mosher, will want to interview you first. For membership, that is. We have no planned assault on China or any other power at all.

Thats ok. Membership in Comiterm would be even more satisfying than a raid.
