SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: consider treaty <treaty #> accept|decline|postpone

This  command  allows  you  to  consider accepting a loan or treaty offered by
another country.

The program will list the various terms of the loan or treaty under considera-
tion  and  ask  for  your  decision as to whether to accept the terms, decline
them, or postpone making a decision.

If you accept a loan, the money is immediately credited to  your  account  and
the  time  period  of the loan starts.  If at the time of your acceptance, the
loaner does not have sufficient funds the size of the loan will be  diminished
to fit the loaner's cash on hand.

If you accept a treaty, it goes into effect immediately but the time period of
the treaty is calculated based on the offer date rather  than  the  acceptance

date.

Loan offers are withdrawn if not accepted within a number of days equal to the
proposed loan's duration.

Treaty offers expire at the time the proposed treaty would expire.

Warning: When the terms of a loan are printed out, take note of the due  date;
if  you  do  not  pay by the due date the interest will double and you will be
subject to collection, (see info collect).
