Rodenius Continent.

The signing of treaties and agreements between the Qua-Toyne Principality, the Quila Kingdom and the Republic of India, was considered to be a landmark event for the Rodenius Continent. In accordance with the trade-agreement, India began importing exotic foodstuff at a massive scale from Qua-Toyne and minerals and oil from the Quila Kingdom in exchange for mining rights and military bases on their lands. In return, India provided food and infrastructure development for the two nations.

The port in Maihark was also upgraded to handle large container ships, while the roads in Quila and Qua-Toyne were being upgraded to Concrete roads to handle large consignments. the large iron ships the Indians had, with the roads at the harbour being superior to anything they had seen. As far as the people of Quila and Qua-Toyne were concerned, these roads were smoother and much stronger than even stone roads in the Capital. These roads were much more sturdier and connected towns and cities that allowed better transportation of goods within both countries.

The promise of the introduction of proper asphalt roads, and railways was something they were excited for. The economic growth from this could make future historians call this the great economic miracle of the nation, with calculations showing that it would surpass future goals with ease.

The signs of improvement in the general quality of life beginning to be seen by the general populace of the Qua-Toyne Principality also saw Prime Minister Kanata's popularity rising concurrently. For once, the opposition in the Legislative Assembly had been silenced. Especially since the Prime Minister returned with an agreement that benefited the country despite the way the crisis started, and Prince Runsui Tsugoku firmly denied dismissing Kanata.

Other reasons for this was also because of the technology that India began exporting that started to change the lives of the subjects of Qua-Toyne. This included guaranteed food security, purified water via reverse osmosis and the beginning of artificial lighting powered by generators.

Meanwhile, Qua Toyne's Defence Ministry were positively salivating upon the weapons system that were used by the Indian Army and tried everything they could to get their hands on them. Nonetheless, the Indians were firm on their stance of not giving up their weapons. However, India did begin shipments of the World War Two era Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I Rifles along with advisors to begin training the Qua-Toyne military on the use of this weapon.

All of this was not yet widespread in Qua-Toyne, as India maintained a stranglehold on all technological exports owing to their own domestic issues. Nonetheless, PM Kanata still could not help but smile at the reversal of his fortune as he read a report. "All we have to do is support them, and they will help us shed the status of 'Barbarian Nation'. We could perhaps become even more powerful than the civilised nations!"

"I have to admit, Prime Minister, it almost feels like a dream." Kanta's Personal Secretary added.

"And to think that a tale of myth, such as the teleportation, really was real and it has benefitted us so amazingly." Kanata continued.

Despite his praises, Kanata was very well aware that they were on a slippery slope. As far as he was concerned, India wanted a puppet, or worse, a colony. They certainly have the military and economic power to do so. Yet they were staying their hand. Perhaps, he would have to make peace with the fact that Qua Toyne has already been pulled into India's sphere of influence as the price for such unprecedented development.

"Though I will admit." PM Kanata spoke again. "It's a damn shame they refuse to give us more advanced weaponry. We could use them against those Lourian bastards."
