(If it’s in the Monsoon, it’s got to be true)
 
Foreign Ministry, May 17, 5665: Foreign Minister Mariamne al-Qassem today announced an arrangement has been reached between the Government of His Majesty King Umar of the Majalite Kingdom and Jumhuriat al-Badara under which the iron and steel needs of the Majalite Kingdom will be supplied by Jumhuriat al-Badara while its chromium needs will be supplied by the Majalite Kingdom.
           
The vehicle will be the Majatran Export Import Authority (MEIA), the government owned corporation operated out of the Trade Ministry with oversight from the Finance and Foreign Ministries.  Iron ore, smelted iron, steel girder, other specialty steel products and processed steel rolls will be ordered from the MEIA which match the orders with the producers thereof such as Al’Fostat Specialty Steel.
 
Similarly requests for chromium and its derivatives will be made to MEIA which will purchase them for resale from their producers.
 
Chromium is highly valued for its erosion resistance and hardness.  Much of its commercial use is in making stainless steel, electro plating and chrome plating.
