Anybody else before I suggest how much each contributes to the initial construction?

Tuscany is interested too.

Some terms and conditions may apply wrote:- Partners will assist in canal construction with engineers and/or monetary contributions.
- Partners will file affidavits stating the general cargo of ships.
- Partners will help sharing the maintenance costs. (Comment: Columbia will use tariffs to cover some of the costs and will, of course, pay some portion of them itself)

In return, Columbia offers the following guarantees:
- Partners will be allowed to use the canal, unless they go to war with Columbia or an ally of Columbia.
- Vessels belonging to a partner nation will not be searched prior to entering the canal.
- A "canal board" will be convened at least annually to discuss and vote on issues pertaining to the canal. Each partner recieves one vote. Columbia also recieves one vote.
- If a nation is at war with a partner, it may not use the canal unless it is also a partner nation.
- Columbia will set aside a new territorial zone as "canal lands", over which the "canal board" will be allowed to have jurisdiction.

Although, we can easily rationalize it as the Mongolian Marxist Party is having its own conference to decide on what it is going to do and who it is going to send to the Hague.

Actually, after reviewing the ruleset again, I think I now have a good idea on how to actually raise my army, which was the source of most of my problems. I'll just calculate how many people are in my mobilization pool, determine how many of them are actually in the army, and see how many divisions I can raise from that; that is how it works, right?

Wilson felt his actions to be justified but came under fire from European governments for his supposedly heavy-handed approach (notably from Germany).
