Recently, King Vincent Mahonic has received a telegram from CEO Gil Wilkinson, who runs a corporate state on the west coast. The telegram states that Mr. Wilkinson has begun to host massive banquets, and for said massive banquets, he needs massive amounts of lobsters (considering that the few amount of lobsters species in the pacific have died out) for his guests. It is legend throughout the continent that the best lobsters in the world are caught by Yankees, specifically Mainelanders- and right this legend was, It has been tradition for Mainelanders to be the greatest lobster fishers in America. Thus, a 5 year trade deal has begun with the Kingdom of Maineland and Wilkinson; 3 boat full of lobsters when the convoy arrives every 3 months to Wilkinson, for 105 million dollars to Maineland.

[M: That's 70 food for $105,000,000.00.]

After receiving the $105 million, Vincent Mahonic turned right around and sent a letter to Texan oil barons- stating that he would request their best oil for said $105 million- a trade deal lasting 5 years, as long as the Wilkinson's deal lasted. The Texans accepted, and the Mainelanders would now be receiving large amounts of oil monthly.

[M: That's 21 fuel for $105,000,000.]

EDIT: Recent tax changes has allowed the kingdom to trade Texas for more oil; same amount, 21 more fuel for $105,000,000 more money.
