Portland, Cascadia
Chairman Shi and his advisors were sitting in a restaurant. They finally finished an extensive evaluation of Cascadia's economy. "Far more complex than Rockies and Risers." "Definitely, multiple sectors showing great growth." "Strong film and music industry." "Las Vegas was restored." "So has many of their other cities." "I'm in favor of stock trading." "I as well." "Same." "Very well, it's been decided." A message was sent to President Jefferson that Singapore will open stock trading. Another message from Singapore read that Singapore Airlines (SIA) will open routes to major cities.

Singapore, Federation Parliament
Governor Chang Yu Hong was called back to the parliament for an investigative hearing. 1st Governor Zhang Qi Wei sat at the gavel. "Governor Chang Yu Hong of the 7th District of the Singaporean Federation, Singaporean Africa, please come to the stand." She walked up. She hated being here. She use to control this body of old fools, but now they wanted revenge. "Now begins the hearing for the trade of Singaporean Africa territory." A man stood up. "Gov Chang, please explain to the federation why you have negotiated a deal to sell Singaporean Africa's territory north of Namibia." A moments pause and she spoke. "It simply isn't worth it." Murmurs from the parliament. Another man stood up. "What do you mean it isn't worth it!" "It is no longer in our best interests to maintain such territory. In the past few years, no changes have been made to Singaporean Africa's society north of Namibia. Likewise, holding that territory offers us no advantage." "But you yourself lead the war to take Oroguay's territory! And now you simply deny it's worth?! How dare you waste young's lives for your selfishness." Several cheers from the parliament could be heard. "No lives were lost in the taking of northern Oroguay's territory. The war only occured in Capetown. You can read the war report from a few years ago if you truly believe that we fought anywhere else." The man sat down. A woman to his right stood up. "What about our military assets in Sao Tome and Principle Naval Base?" "The CAE has allowed us to retain our military base given that we allow them to run politics and local economy." "Will this affect our naval bases at Cape Verde and the Canary Islands?" "No." She sat back down. Another person further in the back stood up. "In previous economic reports, there has been a increase in mining in the district. How will this be compensated?" "No compensation needed. That territory never had special resources we couldn't find elsewhere." "But wouldn't there be a decrease in production." "Unlikely. I have agreed to a trade deal with the CAE, ensure Singapore, and Eclipse, continued business. That is, after all the fundamental clause of the Shanghai Arrangements." The members became quiet. The Shanghai Arrangements was a deal that PM Jeanes made bypassing their heads. Regardless, it gave them power over the 7th District. Gov Chang smiled. Couldn't even come up with any good questions I see. A man stood up. "What do we get from this deal." "130 Billion Singaporean Dollars." The room stunned. 1st Gov spoke up. "If there are no more questions, this committee is dismissed." He banged the gavel. Gov Chang turned to face Gov Zhang with a smile. He returned with a pleading look that begged her to stop doing this.
