Belgrad-Beijing Co-Operation Treaty (Principia Moderni IV Map Game)

The Belgrad-Beijing Co-Operation treaty is a major diplomatic document signed in 1860. It deals with the steady modernization and industrialization of China and also seals the first true envoy and development of Belkas overseas presence in East Asia as well as allowing a Belkan monopoly over Chinese goods at an amiable rate between both Belka and China.

Regarding Industrial Matters

 * Belka will help and educate china in the matters of developing domestic industry


 * Belka will allow the purchase of select industrial technologies to allow the first Chinese factories to operate with efficiency.


 * The Belkans will educate and help China build up its own domestic light industries over the next decades to allow China to build its own domestic market.


 * China, in the effect of learning Belkas industrial practices, must also adopt Belkas Governmental regulation practices of buisiness.


 * (im sure there is more to come just getting stuff down)

Regarding Institutional Reform

 * Belka will open branches of its bank in East Asia headquartered in Hong Kong for the process of learning as well as providing amiable loans to the Chinese government in its bids for modernization


 * Belka will assess the Chinese financial, educational, and military schooling systems from the ground up and provide a detailed report on what should be modernized, phased out, or expanded upon. These are purely assessments and by no means is china forced to adopt these changes.


 * Contracts on arms that can be easily fielded and maintained by China will be awarded to Belka on a scale of outfitting enough for 2 full sized field armies by Belkan army standards


 * When China deems itself ready by which we estimate roughly 1875-1880 Belka will build ships for the chinese navy as well as educate the Chinese in naval doctrine and how to construct ships upwards to cruisers.

Economic policy

 * Belka will be exempt from Chinese bullion laws regarding its market and will trade consumer good for chinese goods until such a time the financial system has become sophisticated enough for normal money transactions to take place.
 * Belka will be the only european power trading in China under this preferential system allowing for Belka to be the main purchaser of chinese goods from china, and the main reseller to europe.
 * Belkan investment into Chinese mineral deposits for the benefit of both should be expected.

Enclaves and Concessions

 * Belka will be allowed two experimental enclave cities (dont remember which, candies you can fill those in)
 * Belka will take control of the cities of Macau as well as Hong Kong plus the Kowloon peninsula to act as Belka intermediaries in east asia as well as the main trade cities for Belka in China
 * the experimental cities will be ceded within 20-25 years back to china.
 * (let me know if anything doesnt jive up to the agreement i wrote this up in a hurry)
