To whom it may concern;
First, I must apologize; this transmission is probably going to be problems for both of us. However, it is necessary, given the strongly worded and verbose letter that arrived on my desk last night. Along with this letter, I received a transcript from the Bretonian Police Authority concerning licensing policies. From the point of view of Ageira Technologies corporation, it appears that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs is demanding a license fee to ship certain goods.
From our point of view, this seems a questionable decision. Such license fees have often come about as a means to differentiate the trustworthy from those less reputable traders, and I'm sure you'll agree that Libertonian corporations are firmly within the first category. Another reason for introducing such comprehensive licensing arrangements could be to raise revenue, but again, we already contribute to each others' coffers due to our mature cross-border relationship.
Related to this, you may notice that the Republic currently enforces no licensing procedures whatsoever. This is in line with our advanced free-market economic policies, and we would be saddened if this had to change.
Yours,
- William Hawthorne, Secretary of State for Trade and Economics.

I am sorry but Bretonia Police Authority has decided that the statement:
"One ship , one license" is going to stay valid.
That means You have two options:
Option 1: You can buy a license for Your new ship that will be hauling licensed materials.
Option 2: You can convince the Ageira| Group if it is the one you are a part of to buy a corporation license so every ship which is a part of the said group will be allowed to carry the military goods.
As it is for now, Your ship Ageira|Saraghrar is not allowed to carry the Military goods till we receive proof of paid license fee which is 10,000,000c. If we receive the payment your new ship will be listed on the aproved list. We will place Your name under consideration under we hear again from You.
Thank You.
PS: Note that any ship caught carrying contraband or unlicensed goods will face consequences: cargo will be confiscated, fine will be placed and if stopped ship will not comply - Bretonia Police is authorised to use deadly force to stop such vessel.

It is at this juncture that I would like to suggest that a formal exemption from licensing procedures for all Libertonian shipping in Bretonia. Of course, this would come in exchange for similar privelidges for Bretonian shipping in Liberty.
