&&BRIEF
"Louisiana has the population advantage which would work in their favor should the Unification Vote be held.  Economically though all three regions are in similar condition and their military potential is also comparable."

&&NOTES
"The gulf is the key... ¶¶ The recent economic turmoil hit Arkansas extremely hard and even though its economy seems well on the way to recovery, the government of that region is concerned that conditions could again deteriorate.  One of the factors that magnified the problems for the state was its lack of coastal access for trade and the refusal of its neighbors to sign Transit treaties, as they continued to protect their own borders.  Although relations with Louisiana and Mississippi seem stable enough, gaining control of either would give Arkansas the doorway it so desperately wants to the Gulf of Mexico waters. ¶¶ Some argue that this is just paranoia, and that these regions are content to unify on schedule (a Unification vote has been scheduled for this territory in a year), while others familiar with Arkansas' leader believe his bitterness will not allow him to keep his region's economic health dependent on the whims of others."

&&EMAIL 00

&&EMAIL 01
"The Mississippi River could be the key to an easy conquest of one of our southern neighbors.  Louisiana is perhaps the weaker target militarily should we decide to attempt to gain Gulf access.  As well we can more easily launch a cross-border attack if we don't have to worry about river crossings and the river itself will help limit Mississippi's ability to reinforce Louisiana. ¶¶If we instead try to catch Mississippi by surprise with a cross-river attack, Louisiana would be able to retaliate directly at us on our southern border without the worry of any natural barriers."

&&EMAIL 02
"Our population advantage makes us the front-runner for the upcoming election.  However rumors persist that Arkansas is intent on obtaining their own access to the Gulf waters before the election date.  If that's the case we are definitely the more vulnerable to an attack. ¶¶At the moment Mississippi leadership does appear willing to abide by whatever results from the Unification Vote, but that could also change as the date gets closer, especially if the polls predict their loss."

&&EMAIL 03
"Intelligence predicts that Arkansas will soon attempt an invasion of Louisiana in a vain attempt to obtain Gulf access.  We estimate that Louisiana should be able to hold them and in the meantime we will have the opportunity to build our own military and can wait for our best opportunity.  Bridging units will be key in allowing us to strike wherever we feel the need. ¶¶In the mean time, should Arkansas seem to be getting the upper hand, we should consider supporting Louisiana, but only in a clandestine manner."
