You share the results of the opinion poll with Myca’s president.
You tell her that the U.S. president and Congress pay a lot of attention to opinion polls when setting foreign policy. Furthermore, Myca is being discussed as anti-democratic in the American press. The best way to guarantee graphite trade ties between Myca and the United States is for Myca to move toward democracy. You point out that agreeing to elections might even increase her popularity since she would be giving the demonstrators exactly what they want.
She is persuaded by your skillful arguments and agrees to hold elections in two months. This gives the country enough time to recover from the hurricane. Myca hasn’t held national elections in 20 years. Election observers would be a good idea to make sure things go smoothly.

— Head of the Mycan Graphite Miners’ UnionThe Miners’ Union fully supports the president’s decision. This is a great day for democracy.
— The Mycan Star, an opposition-leaning newspaperAs long as the government is honest, it shouldn’t mind election observers. To refuse is suspicious.
