Azmenistan's Prime Minister refuses to meet with you. He says that your propaganda has poisoned your relations, and that you have 'declared yourself an enemy with an unceasing string of slander and libel'.
He demands an apology, and says that until the propaganda is reversed and a public apology is made, you will be considered the head of a hostile regime.
| Apologize profusely | Attempt to return to the status quo; it is probably not worth upsetting Azmenistan. Your relationship with Azmenistan is too important for a nuclear program to get in the way. Issue a formal apology, and ask Azmenistan's Prime Minister directly if he would be willing to return to normalcy. |
| Offer economic incentives | Tell Azmenistan that if it agrees to stop enriching uranium immediately, you will cut tariffs significantly on all agriculture and steel coming from Azmenistan, and will rely more heavily on Azmenistan and less heavily on Brezistan for agriculture and steel, providing both absolute gains and relative gains with respect to Brezistan for Azmenistan. |
| Coordinate economic sanctions | The UN is very interested in levying sanctions against Azmenistan, and Brezistan strongly supports the movement. In a joint effort with the UN, agree to stop buying steel and agriculture from Azmenistan and stop selling oil and natural gas to Azmenistan. Replace your steel and agricultural imports by relying more heavily on Brezistan. UN countries will help mitigate the losses of your energy exports. |
| Invade Azmenistan | You cannot wait for Azmenistan to acquire a nuclear weapon. You think you may have a conventional military advantage, and you need to eliminate Azmenistan's nuclear program before the development of a weapon eliminates your advantage. Send troops to destroy Azmenistan's enrichment facilities. |
