Granny Slag's Homestyle Confections
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
CEO: Vivian Lockheart
Founder: Julianne von Slagalotz (deceased)

Official Sponsor of World Cup 5!

Company History
Granny Slag's Homestyle Confections began 47 years ago as Granny Slag's Bakery, a business in SLAGTown owned and operated by the granddaughter of SLAGLandic founder Enrick von Slagalotz, Julianne von Slagalotz. The bakery sold all sorts of baked goods, from breads to cakes, but Julianne specialized in her sweets. Her cakes and cookies became renowned all over SLAGTown and beyond, and eventually, she began gaining a reputation throughout the nation.

In an effort to protect her business-at-large, Julianne von Slagalotz hired SLAGTown business guru Vercingetorix Brahn to help run the company. "Ol' Verc," as he was commonly known, proved to be an incredible help to the company, and soon after his appointment to the position of CEO, Granny Slag's Bakery became Granny Slag's Homestyle Confections, a SLAGLandic business force. Now, it was just a matter of finding the right product to cement this hold.

15 years ago, a mere one year before her death, Julianne von Slagalotz found that product. While experimenting with various cookie doughs and batters, Julianne stumbled upon a delicious pudding recipe that could be easily tweaked to meet her flavor needs. She presented this pudding recipe to the Board of Trustees, and Granny Slag's Homestyle Puddin' was born. The initial four flavors were chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, and tapioca, but since that time, seven more flavors have been added.

Granny Slag's Homestyle Puddin' was the first product to truly make Granny Slag an international phenomenom. Radio and television ads worldwide popularized the Granny Slag character, and before long, Granny Slag's Homestyle Confections was popping up all over the world.

Just this past year, Granny Slag's Homestyle Confections suffered two unfortunate events that nearly led to the downfall of the company. First, the bombing of SLAGTown by Ben Land levelled the GSHC Corporate Headquarters. A mere four months later, GSHC was the victim of a nearly successful takeover bid by Agracultured, a food company based in Imnsvale. It seemed that all was lost for Granny Slag.

However, like the great phoenix rising from the ashes, GSHC has reemerged. Thanks in large part to international support in the form of SlagAid: The Carnival to Save Granny Slag, GSHC is back on its feet. Today, Granny Slag's Homestyle Confections remains the single largest producer of pudding in all of the world... and beyond.

My Dear Friends in The SLAGlands,

I regret that, over the years, I have never had the chance to really get to know you people well. I've eaten your pudding, and always hoped that, someday, I could have a factory right here in the capital, so that I wouldn't have to import it. But, alas, it's always been "M'lord" this, and 'Dear Sir" that, never giving me a chance to rest and get on with personal matters. But today, I decided something: I've served my country for, what, 40 years now? It's time for me to get something back! So I locked my doors, and sat down to write this letter. Might you consider, just possibly, setting up a regional HQ in my humble nation?

Sincerely Yours,

Jarlsberg would like to have you set up a corporate headquaters in its fine city of Isafjordur. Our own homestyle confection company INDUSTRIAL EDIBLES MANUFACTURING INC. went out of bussiness after the scandal caused by their blackmarket contracts to dispose of nuclear and bio-hazardous waste in their SNAK CAKES. Their imposing windowless skyscraper with smokestacks of indeterminate purpose is sitting empty, and is for sale.

Also because of this our military's supply of sweets is depleted. IEM's product for the military was the KR5-19 COMBINED SWEET CAKE/ANTI-MATERIAL DEVICE/GAS-MASK FILTER. If you could develop a snack for our troops that can blow the treads off of a tank and filter out serin gas while remaining tangy and delicious we will pay you $500.000.000 USD on top of the contract for production. Enclosed are IEM's design for the KR5-19

We can garauntee the security of your employees as much as we can garauntee the security of our own people. We have two security issues right now:

A terrorist organization CHAOS is wreaking havoc, but it's not blowing up buildings, mostly subtle evil.

Criminals in Jarlsberg are better armed than anywhere else. We recommend your employees buy large calibre handguns as muggers will often wear heavy kevlar armor.

The old IEM building is designed to resist biological, chemical, and nuclear attack. It is designed for a large staff of heavily armed security personnel. Surveillance cameras monitor every inch of the building with nightvision/infrared capabilities (Only infrared in the bathrooms). There is a SAM missile battery on the roof of the building as well as a 20mm Vulcan chaingun at the main entrance. The building is safer than Fort Knox.

Unlike our worthy competitor, we can guarantee with one hundred percent assurance that our methods are tried and true, using only the purest materials - elemental carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. While using messy, organic baking can theoretically produce a 'different' taste, how can YOU be assured that the materials which go into your food is of the best of quality? Using nanotechnology each molecule and atom is slid exactly into place - the ultimate in quality control. Buy a package of Chocolate Cookie Ones now (for the low-low-low price of US$ 1.25 per package of 100) and try the 010 C(x)-1 cookie experience!

*A population as of today of 999 Million (Projections place it at over a billion soon)
*A Hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent labor force
*Excellent education and social welfare system
*Frightening Economy, Supurb Civil Rights, Excellent Political Freedoms
*Cities are arcologies (basically a city within a giant building, there's more to it than that, but that's all that you need to know for RP purposes)
*Arcology 5, located at the beautiful Catnip Inlet, has major port facilities adjoining it.
*The same Arcology has recently enlarged itself by 9 hectres. We estimate a factory/headquarters compartment (no matter how large they are, we still call a "lot" within the arcology a compartment) will take approximately 1 hectre. That's just for a small one. Space in this area of the arcology is going at $500,000,000 per hectre , but since this is Granny Slag, proven to be a good corprate citizen, we are willing to reduce that to 250,000,000, and pay for the manufacturing equipment.

New Product Announcement!


(The shot opens in sepia coloring with a picture of a juicy fruit, its skin pure and smooth, save a few drops of water. It resembles an apple... but it isn't an apple. The narrator is speaking in the familiar voice of Granny Slag.)

"Ah... applehs... fruit of the gods."

(The camera zooms out to a shot of the full appleh bush.)

"Ever since the colonization of Titan, applehs have been an important part of the Titan tradition."

(A worker approaches the bush in a straw hat, suspenders, and a flannel shirt. He begins picking the applehs and placing them in a basket.)

"These delicious fruits are hand-picked and treated with the best of tender-loving care to ensure the good people of Titan will have a top-notch product... something so good, it may as well have come from one of their own orchards."

(The camera fades to a shot of an old woman, visible from the back, working a cyderre press. All of a sudden, the shot transforms from sepia to full color as rich, golden cyderre pours forth from the press.)

"Today, Granny Slag is pleased to bring the time-honored traditions of Titan to our own world."

(The old woman places a cork on the bottle of cyderre and turns, facing the camera. We can now see that she is, in fact, Granny Slag. The label on the glass jar is visible.)

"We just want to bring you a little taste of tradition... and love. Granny Slag's Olde Tyme Appleh Cyderre is just another way we're doing just that."

(The shot fades to a picture of all sizes of the new product, the deep beige bottled cyderre sitting amongst the appleh bushes of Titan.)

"Granny Slag's Olde Tyme Appleh Cyderre... a taste of Titan and Granny's love in every glass."

While Akilliam's factories most produce books and bombs, I'm sure we can manage some confectionary arts. So let's negotiate the profits. What I propose is a system of inverse proportionality towards our profits and yours. If we have 10% profits, we'll send back say, .5%. If we have 20% profits, we'll send back .2% profits, etc. etc. These are just crude numbers, not actually reflecting actual profit-sharing.

Hmmmm... how about this: instead of sending any sort of profits to GSHC corporate, just keep the whole of the profits to support the Regional HQ in your nation. Since Akillian businessmen are going to be needed to run the HQ once it's up and running, you'll essentially be collecting 100% profit on this deal.

Plus it's less messy that way.

The Federation would be very interested in having a Dor Lomin Regional Headquarters of Granny Slag's HSC.

The Government will match any funds needed by either Granny Slag's or a domestic corporation willing to make an investment.

We would be honoured to have a GSHC headquarters within Dor Lomin to serve our Yut allies of Sentient Peoples.

Why isn't the Sector listed? It's the current home of the SLAGlands, doesn't Granny Slag's corporate HQ count as a regional headquarters? :wink:

We ask you to consider setting up regional headquarters in Neo Haven Prime, even the trolls can't resist the deliscious taste of cookies.
