 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : lend <CNUM/CNAME> <AMOUNT> <ETUS> <RATE>

The lend command is used to lend money to another country.   You  specify  the
country  to  which  the  loan will be offered, the amount of cash to loan, the
number of Empire Time Units the lender will have to repay the  loan,  and  the
interest rate (calculated over 1000 ETUs) that will be charged.

You may only offer loans to nations with whom you have  diplomatic  relations.
The  maximum  amount of money that you can loan is $100,000, the interest rate
must be a positive integer between 1 and 100.  and the  number  of  ETUs  must
also be positive, and not greater than 10,000.

When you complete your generous offer, the recipient will be sent a message to
that effect.  If the recipient of your largess decides to accept the loan, you
will be notified and your national treasury level will be appropriately decre-
mented.

Loan payments are automatically made from lendee to lender each update.
