I regret to inform you that we will not process your Visas at this time.

We are taking our first, tentative, steps into the realm of a New Economic Policy from our current policy of War Communism. This, as you can understand, is a time consuming affair.

Many people inside our government have raised concerns about proceeding too quickly. By our nature we are a cautious Group that has survived by preserving our national soveriengty, and the soveriegnty of our economy.

The invitation for the TAZ to commence trade has actually been the result of nearly a year of tense negotiation and intense debate in our Government chambers. we are confident of their capacity to follow our laws, but the Consortium is being considered for future trade, when we are ready to expand our economic ties.

This is not a refusal, so much as it is an invitation for the Consortium to enter into negotiations for trading rights. Until such times as you have earned our trust, we will be establishing an extra-solar trading port, and a consular office. These should provide you with an opportunity to trade with us through the Baffin Consulate/harbour, and later through our trading port.

We thank you for being so considerate to making these diplomatic overtures, they are an important first step towards our mutual goals. I look forward to meeting with you at the negotiation table in the future.

Your Comrade,

Commissar-Commander Alvin Katz
