We are the primary supplier of all non-military (Though some of our products have military applications)and non-neccesity items and services for the Silver Islands region. We have no primary area of development, since we are a conglomorate that covers many different production and service areas.

Can we get specific answers?

We are the primary supplier of all non-military (Though some of our products have military applications)and non-neccesity items and services for the Silver Islands region. We have no primary area of development, since we are a conglomorate that covers many different production and service areas.

You still did not answer the questions. Even a large conglomerate must have some products that are better developed than the rest of them.

Also, the Silver Islands region holds no nations.

OOC: Are you celeborne or TSE?

We would like to petition for membership.

Of course. Thank you for choosing our organization (hmpff, that sounds like we're an airline). Anyway, we need the following info:

1. What are your 3 primary products and / or services?
2. Are their any governments with influence in your corporation, e.g. stock held by other nations?
3. Is there anything such as a special trade deal you can offer members in exchange for membership?

Also, if you are admitted, you must know that members have 3 days in RT to object to your application. If there are any serious objections, your case will be reviewed after three days.

1. 3 Primary business areas :
A. Robotics (nonmilitary)
B. Discrete executive services - Body guard to house cleaning , we use only bonded people and robots with hig intergrity and securtiy clearance.
C. Luxury transportation- sports cars, hoverdynes, aircraft , and converted military vehicles.

2.Celeborne has some influence, but no direct control

3.We are willing to offer a 10% discount on all prices and services to fellow mebers if we are accepted. We will also open a tarriff free trade agrement and discounted advertising.

OOC: Celeborne not TSE, ( I wanted a corporate puppet)

((Found the region. 5 nations. Celeborne was probably there, but didn't check. His story checks out))

In my opinion, the Silver Corporation seems a good potential member. First of all, two of his three primary products are relatively "new" for the CC, since hardly anybody else focusses on them. Secondly, I respect the RP that Celeborne is capable of.

Roania, since you are the only other CC member online, I'll put The Silver Corp. down as a member if you agree.

OOC: Thanks for the vote of confidence. It means a lot coming from you.

OOC: Thanks for the vote of confidence. It means a lot coming from you.

No problem. BTW Roania is NOT online after all, so I'm adding you to the member list now. But the 3 days-to-object for members still stand. Welcome to the club.

ooc:- Go ahead Vortex your the founder so you can add them..if we object we will tell you within 3 RL days.

Ic:- The whaling problem is mainly nations hunting a creature which is close to becoming endangered or extict. I see a profit for our members who dabble in cloning/ genetic manipulation, while gandering us some respect as "good" capalist. The Idea is to take samples of these whales & using cloning to fast grow whales to sell to whaling nations (at a cost lower than what it costs to send out a whaling fleet) plus restock the whale population thereby making the environmental freeks happy.

ooc:- As to the RP what kind where you thinking of?

The solution to the whaling problem proposed by our collegue here is very interesting. We hope you will actually find the time and resources one day to truly execute it.

OOC: For the RP, maybe contacting CACE for a riot ending in talks or something. We could start buying up everything in one of their member nations and create a diplomatic dispute, with some negotiations between us while in the rp, we keep buying stock. What did you have in mind?

Bump, for the Vortex Corporation...

I got ya.

Bump, for Resi to read through the new pages.

I'm thinking of having as a trade conference between members...where we can RP members seeking items from each others, plus offering exclusive items for CC members only (also shows potential members the benifits of joining). It will show off the Alliance goals in helping members & showing others what they are missing out on. If we do this I suggest that you Vortex host it & post at the start the members, then members post 1 or more item they are after/need and also post 1 exclusive item for members only..something they would normally wouldn't sell to others.

Cripes, that's a lot of new material...

I second Senyah's motion. At the conference, I'll offer Face Dancers.

You mean some sort of auction?

I don't think that's what he meant. He meant more of a swap meet, where we all send people there with our 'special' projects. It would showcase the CC, and demonstrate to all the benefits of being capitalists.

Something like the World Expo, with the exception that you can acually buy the stuff? (sorry, but I'm only awake for 15 minutes and my English is not at best until around noon)

In that case, each member could indeed post his product with a short description that I'll add to the first post. But are we going to let outsiders take a look? And buy stuff? (without discount)

Yeah... something like that.

:roll:


We'll be glad to host it... by the way, the space port and shields are finished!

Chaos and Warp shielding. And for no extra charge, standard defensive shielding as well!

OK Roania, set up the thread then. Just pick a topic-name that will attract a lot of visitors.

I'm not selling my secret projects to people who just walk in off the street.

You're right there. Let's keep this an invite-only.

I have a better idea... Corporate Coalition only. How does that sound?

Okay... you want to send out invitations?

How's this for a name?


"World Trade Expo. Corporate Coalition Members only"


It could be like the binderberg conferences.

Sure I'll send the invitations, just set up the thread so I can give the link in the t-grams. And I apologise for my fuzzyness, I didn't have my morning coffee yet :D

BTW: you might wanna post the "rules" or "intentions" of the expo in the first post of the topic, to clarify the whole thing for members that missed this discussion.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=65652

All member states have ben notified of the Exposition. Which took me a whole bunch of telegrams. Anyway, time for some advertisement.

--Members of the Corporate Coalition--

Roania and the Vortex Corporation hereby announce the start of the World Trade Exposition, an initiative from Senyahs Corporation. Here, each of you will have the opportunity to display your most advanced technological product, and view the products of other members. Purchases can of course be made at any time you want.

Why is it that no one has ANY interest in the technology that would turn your Companies workers into the perfect workforce, without individual thought and no complaints about the system as they would have no memory of anything else.

That was a semi-ooc question, now to total OOC: Collectivism isn't communism, communism encourages that the individuals unite for the betterment of everyone else, in Collectivism they unite to benifit the Collective Mind that they are apart of, want and desire does not enter into the equation, they just do it.

ooc:- soz didn't realise it was semi ooc......still people working for themselve out of greed generally are more inventive then those working as a collective.

Hoverdynes now available to the happy few

The Vortex Corporation has decided to start selling military hoverdynes to CC member. Members of or other alliances have already been able to purchase them for some years now, and we feel it is time to make them available to you.

05/DCAPC Command APC “Patriarch” (170.000)
This is the corporate battlefield nerve center. Here, the field commander is supported by a crew of 3 to analyse data about the battle. An advanced communications system allows him to control his untis. Additionally, the APC can carry up to 20 infantry units, who can be rapidly deployed through the fully hydraulic rear doors. The APC is armed with a 200 kilocycle Electro Discharge Cannon to provide limited cover for exiting forces.

W/SAH-4 Scout Hoverdyne “Apus” (65.000)
The Apus is a one-manned hoverbike, designed for scouting purposes. It is armed with a light Shogata 8Bx10 “BerZerk” pulse laser to ward of infantry forces. In combat it is usefull for hit-and-run strikes and flanking maneuvres. The scout hoverdyne relies on speed and agility to avoid enemy fire, as it is only armored with light polysteel15 armor. The Apus carries advanced targeting and visual enhancing equipment, strengthening its scout role. An added advantage is the ability to equip this unit with a RamTech light mine system, allowing it to hinder advancement of enemy forces.

01/SAC-34 LAT Light Hoverdyne “Sculptor” (175.000)
The sculptor is a highly advanced hoverdyne used for patrols, fast attacks and deep scout missions. It’s engine is enforced with a Rover-8005 combat engine, making it extremely agile. The primary weapon on this vehicle is a 20kMhz Electro Discharge Shogata Cannon. The weapon can defeat light armor with extreme ease and given time, it can eventually penetrate heavier armor also. Because of the Hugh G4 tracking unit, it can also engage air units. Armored with heavy polysteel15 plates, the sculptor is an extremely dangerous units to hostile infantry.

01/MAT-3 Main Battle Hoverdyne “Lynx” (450.000)
The Lynx have good speed and armor, making it an excellent hoverdyne for heavy combat. Its turret mounts a Shogata PDX9 “Messenger”, the latest version of our very first energy weapon. The Lynx can go toe to toe with any modern tank and pose a significant threat to any ground unit. Armored with heavy polysteel20 shockplates it can withstand a great deal of punishment before collapsing.

01/WL8 Heavy Hoverdyne “Volans” (850.000)
The massive Volans is one of the largest hoverdynes available today. Nicknamed “God’s Might” it strikes fear into hearts of enemy forces. To command a Volans is an honor only given to the best crews in the Corporation. This hoverdyne carries a twin mounted Shogata PDX9 cannon, providing it with supreme firepower. Unfortunately, the rechare time for this dual weapon is relatively slow.

012/BT-MV Mk. II Beam Platform “Lacerta” (900.000)
The Lacerta is a three crew hoverdyne platform, armed with an experimental beam cannon. This cannon is a modified version of the Shogata. It is meant to shoot beam of concentrated energy through a specially designed prism. This prism, named the X9k Purifier, is still extremely experimental and is connected with an advanced GTI targeting system. Both the platform and the weapon are still highly experimental, so the corporation is reluctant to deploy it in direct combat. The coming years, it will only be used when there is no other choice,

01/AAPBT-600 Anti-Air Hoverdyne “Pavo” (350.000)
The Pavo has only one purpose: to destroy enemy airborne units. It carries a modified Shogata FUR/X9 weapon system that shoots energy at enemy craft at amazing speed and accuracy. The Pavo proofs to be extremely efficient, except in desert regions. The huge cooling system needed to keep the weapon going hampers in conditions of extreme heat. Also, the Pavo has relatively light armor, comparable with the Sculptor.

04/DN9-FO OAH Artillery Hoveredyne “Sagitta” (1.000.000)
The Sagitta is a mobile artillery piece, designed at the same time as the Pavo. It’s primary weapon is a BPPL-12 Shogata ejector. It lobs overpacked and unstable proton particle clusters in a high ballistic arc towards the target. Upon impact, this results in an enormous energy discharge. A powerfull isonisation field is a side-effect of this blast, damaging all electrical systems nearby. Even though it is armed with polysteel20 platings, the Sagitta requires heavy hoverdyne escorts. Also, frequent maintenance and high upkeep expenses are necessary.

011/BEHCCA Drone Carrier “Orion” (1.300.000)
The Orion is a support hoverdyne designed to stay in the background of combat encounters. The hoverdyne carries an extensive crew of six and is packed with large numbers of GHE Spider Drones, which we have presented to the public a few years ago. The Orion relies on information from its targeting computers and other friendly units to lock on a target. After that, Drones are released and head for the target to blow it to pieces. As stated in other press releases, the only weakness of this system is the problems it seems to have with targeting infantry.

The Vortex Corporation usually sells weapons technology to their close allies, and only through communication and transport channels that are not to be seen by the public. However, we are making an exception now, and have set up a catalogue of military vehicles that can be purchased. This means all previous hoverdyne offers are now no longer valid.

Due to what we believe to be extremely racist tendencies that could be of great danger to our populace by The Kali Corporation, we are withdrawing from this alliance. We thank you for the welcome we recieved and look forward to doiing business with many of you in the future.

I am pleased to announce that the CCHQ has been constructed and is now operational. The city of Winchester Canyon, however, is still undergoing the major construction projects required, already attracting business and employees from all around the globe.

The spaceport is not yet operational, but as you can see in the picture the main hotel ("The Spaceport") for it is. KHC Industries is laboring day and night to construct residential domes to the north and west of the city.

PrattCo Conglomerate and Nod engineers must still design the defenses, such as they are, of the city. (OOC: Hoping to get a good map going, that way the bunkers could be here and there and this big, and you could work out directions from places in the city and it could be a great place for all kinds of character roleplaying. I'll try to work something out thats respectable, contributions will be considered of course.)

This is truly good to know. I can assure you that Pink Bunny Cola staff will in no way resist the Dominion liberators of Knootoss. However please do understand our reservations after the shelling of the Hague. 24 of our finest staff members were killed during those horrible ten millions, along with thousands of potential customers. From our point of view, this war is bad for business. Even if the business climate may increase afterwards.

We are glad to have The Brotherhood of NODs support.

And Danneland would like to point out that it has nothing against the Dominion. War is profitable, however. We do not wish any war to escalate into a nuclear war. Since that, is not profitable.

Please another corprate group to screw over poor people! Anything for you're coffers right!!!!

Brotherhood of Nod: thanks for not firing at Pink Bunny assets

The Silver Corporation: The CC is not a political alliance. This is not a place where we discuss the ways that other nations use to evolve themselves or rule their population. This is a strictly economical alliance. If you really have problems with Kali Corp. , then I suggest you stay in the CC and simply avoid trade with Kali. Please restate your final decision one more time, 'cause I'd hate to see a member leave.

PCC: That is a really, really nice picture! Finally, we have a HQ!

Danneland: since you even have someone to vouch for you, I'm letting you in, as soon as you post what your 3 major branches of operations are and what trade deals you might offer the CC.

Rivendell-A: if I ever become a warmonger, you're my first victim.

Capsule Corporation: we applaud the courage and initiative, shown by the creation of your new trade alliance. We hope it gets many members and that is prospers in the future. However, if things do not work out, you are always free to join the CC.

CoVar Corporation: thanks for the info. The first page is being edited immediately.

Can I apply to join this Alliance?

OK here we go:

Danneland: since you even have someone to vouch for you, I'm letting you in, as soon as you post what your 3 major branches of operations are and what trade deals you might offer the CC.




Branches

1. Raw materials, such as food, minerlas and so on.
2. High Tech Millitary Arms
3. Information Technology

Deals Danneland and its Corp can give offer the CC.

Good deals on raw materials.
Always be the first one to recieve the new Information Technology, and the most important of all. Free updates (( ;) ))
And other than that, everything can be discussed.

Danneland, I'm signing you in. Mainly because A. I don't have any problems with you and B. because you have 1 industry that is fairly new to the CC. And the Capsule Corporation is also free to join, as long as you tell us about your 3 largest branches and mention any trade deals you want to offer the CC.

Now, for the both of you: you must know that members have 3 RT days to object to your membership. If, after three days, there is significant objection against your membership, there will be a vote. That will decide if you eventually will become a member or not.

exelent, we are glad to be accepted and hope for exelent future trade.

Branches:

Heavy Future-Tech Military Equipment/Vehicles/Vessels (Space/Ground)
Future-Tech Civillian Equipment/Vehicles/Vessels (Space/Ground)
Technology Research/Science of new technologies divisions


Offers:
Premium Access to our supplies of minerals mined from our moon.
Premium Access to Researching Facilities/Laboratories
Premium Access to our supplies of Chlorophusion Cells.

OOC: Can you tell i am future tech? :P

I can supply links to all said technology upon request, but i am too tired to find them all lol just search for what you want. :)

exelent, we are glad to be accepted and hope for exelent future trade.

So do we. Especially trade without guns blazing :D. Maybe your membership allows the two of us to work out some...differences???

I thought about finding out and then, instead of killing your boy, let him go home with a business proposition: we keep buying your parts, even more then before, but at a significant discount that leaves you only a small profit margin, as retribution for the recent attack.

Well, that is doable. Send me a TM with more details?

I have no probems with either. They will surely make excellent members.

I know Danneland is worth a lot as member. I don't really know Capsule Corp., so I'll see what you guys say about him.

I'm trying to think... I know Capsule Corporation irked me in the past, but I can't remember how.

Is there a web-based forum or do we make do here?

so what do I have to do to get in? Sit here and wait to be voted? or do i need to prove myself.

Ell: no forum, since the founder (me) is not only lazy, but also an idiot when it comes to internet.

Capsule Corp., as said before: you are already signed in, and debate will only follow if anybody has any problems with you joining, within the next 2,5 days.

OOC: Resi has set aside a section in the Corporate Islands Forum (http://invisionfree.com/forums/corporate_islands/) for the CC. He said it should appear shortly (sometime this week I think he said), if it hasn't already. Talk to him about getting a log-on or whatever.

By the way, apparently Resi signed every one in the Corporate Islands up into the CC.

Ah, well I'm not adding all of those to the member list until Resi gives me a nice list.

By the by, and completely off the record, me and Resi came up with a weapon with the express purpose of wiping out Greenpeace. Do you think that we could arrange a reason to use it?

I don't think it will boost our image if two of the biggest members start killing Greenpeace members.

Hmm... but it would be IC. Besides, I can't keep turning them into rodents (Are rabbits rodents?)! I need proactive measures!

What an idea!

I'm a Capitalist, not a Corporatist --
that having been said, let us all pray
that such an organizaton as this should
never manifest itself upon the real world...

It would supercede and overbear upon
the power of any one nation, it could potentially
cripple superpowers, and raise up 3rd world
countries to incredible, if temporary power;
economic or otherwise.

I don't want to think about the possibilities...

"Consumers" get shafted sooooo bad in this...

Ack! To hell with it all! -- Don't give them ideas!

Indeed this is off-topic...I attemped to rationalize
the coolness of roleplaying this out, and joining
you all.

But then I came to realize the evil that would be
loosed upon the world with the creation of such an
organization!

I could not bear the thought of it!, not even for a game!

Good luck, though.... ::clutches heart::

Eh...thank you for you contribution?

Foolish naysayer. Let us laugh at him and all his leftist kind! BWAHAHAHA!

The associates, a joint- venture between the 9 largest corporations of Der Angst, request to join the coalition.

We are glad to see you join. We hope you will enjoy the benefits that the CC can offer you. As we speak, an office is being cleared for you in the CCHQ. To make things final, we would like you to mention your 3 primary branches of activity, and we will sign you up.

Well, according to the corps that joined together to form this corporate front, our main branches are

- tech development (information technology, biotechnology, advanced physics technology)

- intelligence servives
- military services

- human/ machine tech (Cyborgs, AIs)
- Raw material extraction (underwater, in space)
- chemistry (synthetics)
- transports
- building construction/ trade
- advanced statistics (gambling, insurances, etc.)

Thanks. You are now a member, unless significant objections are heared within the next 3 RL days.

The CoVar Corporation is currently preparing to revamp it system of currency and wishs to example the new "Corporate Credit" to use in as many nations as possible. The new currency would be entirely virtual and be valued at either 1 NationStates Global Crellar (NGC) or 1 United States Dollar (USD). All hard currency will be paid in NGCs.

The CoVar Corporation is currently requesting that The Resi Corporation and The Vortex Corporation join in on the forthcoming negotiations for the new currency as CoVar wishs them (it's close allies) to be part of this momentus occasion. CoVar is offering to those corporation, the ability to control the flow of Corporate Credits in circulation by virtually "minting" new currency. The CoVar Corporation is also interested in getting the nations of Quippoth, Ruccola, and Imnsvale involved as the new currency is the first step toward the future CoVar International Bank, which is currently being planned.

CoVar also is proposing that the new currency be the official method of exchange for the Corporate Islands Region and the Corporate Coalition. The CoVar Corporation await the responses of it's allies and friends in the Corporate Coalition and Corporate Islands Region.

CoVar Corporate Board of Directors

Location: CCHQ (weekly meeting of CEO's)

"....and therefore I ask that the tariffs for this product be lowered with 6% in all member states and companies."

"Very well, we will vote on this issue next week, when we have had time to do some background research. Now, before I close this meeting, does anybody have anything else to say?"

"Yes, I have". CEO Broadus, a tall man of just under 40 years old, got up from his seat and started adressing the gathered representatives of the Corporate Coalition.

"As you all know, our reputation as capitalists is not very encouraging. Many nations, and I am referring to the so called "socialists" in organizations such as CACE, think we are nothing but ordinary golddiggers. We all know that this "reputation" that we have in the socialist parts of the world, should be destroyed one way or another. Yesterday, I was informed of a project that could help us with that. A nation called Celeborne, a long time friend of the VTC, has started up a refugee aid program, and is asking for donations. I suggest each member donates whatever he or she sees fit, making the CC an official sponsor of the refugee program. Think of the effect it will have when refugees are rescued by ships and vehicles with CC logos printed on them. Better advertising will be very hard to find. Therefore, I'd like to ask my collegues here what they think of this initiative."

The thread that VTC referanced is here

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71762

Bruno stood up. "I object to this. We do more for the poor of this world than them!" He pulls down a set of graphs, detailing job markets and employment throughout the world and throws it on the table.

Calvin looked up at Bruno and replied.

"Yes, I understand what your point is here. I've seen those graphs myself a few days ago and the numbers seem to be correct. However, this mission should not be seen as a program to help "poor" people.
First and foremost, this program extracts refugees from war zones and nations where they fear for their lives. This does not mean they are poor.

Secondly, for Celeborne this is a project to help people, yes. But to us, this could be seen as an advertising campaign. Any group of refugees also contains high-educated people, fleeing from their oppressors. Those men and women are all potential empoyees of the Vortex Corporation, possibly with useful information from their former employers, e.g. the government that now opresses them.
Thirdly, this is not only advertisement that can get us more employees, but it also improves our reputation in and goodwill from other nations, which may open up new markets and industries for us."

"True..." Bruno said, not wanting to agree. "But, the logistics alone... surely a strongly worded threat would work?"

OOC: Roania is one of those 'oppressive' nations.

"The logistics are not our responsibility. Celeborne will plan and execute all operations. What I propose here is that we put together an aid package consisting of funds, equipment and perhaps personnel, in order to support his initiative as an official sponsor."

Bruno looks torn for a few seconds. "Yes... but... um... How do we know that the CACE won't use this against us?"

"How could they? This initiative will show that the CC also contributes its share to making the world a better place. Protesting against that would only make CACE look dumb. After all, it would be protesting against an initiative that could have been on of their own."

"Yes, but the tactics that you mentioned earlier... about this being an advertising campaign, wouldn't that lose us regard if they called us out over it? And would our own nations be immune to this persnickety dogooderness?"

"The fact that we see this as advertising, will not be known to the outside world. With our huge marketing expenses, it is fairly easy to present this to the media as a sign of compassion and participation in making the world a better place. And our own nations, I hope, no fairly well that a reputation can make or brake your corporation. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a fairly good chance to "up our status", as they say".

Bruno was stuck and he knew it. He buried his face in his hands. It's going to be the inquisition for me, I know it.


((Tm the others, let them have a response))

The Vice-CEO of the Brotherhood Trade Corporation, Giovanni Thomsson, replied angrily: "The Brotherhood did not join the Corporate Coalition to waste our funds on ungrateful refugees from insignificant countries. The goal of the CC is to make and enlarge profits from member corporations. What's the problem of being seen as golddiggers anyway? And why should we care what the CACE communists say?"

"For once, we have to agree with the Brotherhood." Cassandra de Vries stands up, showing her angular face. "We, for once, help refugees ourselves, it is not neccessary to pump money to nations that may abuse said money. And, no matter what we do, CACE will NEVER admit we aren`t monsters."

The emissary from Pink Bunny Cola Inc. enters theroom late, wiping some sweat from his forehead. He hasitly sits down and opens his suitcase, taking a peak at the agenda of ther person next to him...

"Ah, yes, the aid thing: well I think it would be best if we do not send monetary aid but rather products to direcly help these people. If they need anything to drink they van have Pink Bunny Cola. This could be a great marketing stunt you know..."

Sonya Chang, Vice-Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, speaks up for the PrattCo Conglomerate.

"While the notion might beem appealing, and it is indeed true that such so-called 'humanitarianism' is good marketting, I don't believe that a need has been established for a Corporate Coalition "sponsorship" program. Let the detractors say what they will, but if we join them in feeding and nursing the whining child that is the 'poor, huddled masses,' we will become dependant on them. Just as they will become dependant on us, in the classic Socialist paradigm of welfare check nursing and wasted 'donated' money. In short, gentlemen, the image of a do-goody Corporate Coalition, acting like the Red Cross or even worse, the United Nations, will only harm our position in the world. The decision of the Chief Executive Offices regarding this matter is a resounding and firm no!"

Rowan Tomungo, Head of the NGEN Diplomacy Corps, finally decides to speak for the NGEN Corporation.

"I agree with NOD, we are Coalition of Corporations, not some greenpeace freaks, our goal is to increase our profits, not to go around the world helping unfortunates wherever they are. Yes also, why should we care what the CACE freaks say?"

((OOC: Right, I'm here. Could someone give me a summary of events?))

The CoVar representative stood, having heard the arguments. All attention turned to him. The black trench coat and widebrimmed hat hiding his features. "I move that the sponsorship of the refugee program be left to each Corporation to decide, while still the sponsorship be under the Corporate Coalition. In a sign of good will, CoVar will donate $1 Million Corporate Credits, which is convertable into an equal NationStates Global Crellars.

"Also, on the Greenpeace topic, CoVar offer to engage in an operation of extermination as long as funding is recieved." His statements made, the CoVar representative sank back into his seat seeming engulfed in shadows.

tag...you'll be getting some competition soon...unless different time frames are involved

"Competition?"

"Yes, Mister Chairman."

"Anything a couple hundred thousand tons of depleted uranium can't handle?"

"Well..."

"Then don't bother me with such trivialities! I'm a busy man! Get out of my office before I shoot you in the head!"

tag...you'll be getting some competition soon...unless different time frames are involved

How so? You've been deemed the most untrustworty nation on the planet. Also, I think we're mostly space nations. Resi, we're debating sending aid to poor nations.

Broadus thought for a while, and then realised that it was indeed against all CC standards to do something for free. On the other hand, Celeborne was an ally that could not be denied. He stood up once more, and adressed the CEO's.

"Gentlemen, ladies, I think we have a concensus on the Aid subject. I hereby confirm for the record that no policy regarding the Celeborne aid program will be forced upon CC members. Each Corporation, Holdings Group and Conglomerate will be free to make independent donations to the project. However, if anybody has more to say about this, please feel free to speak up"

He looked down to the dossiers laying on the table before him. Rearranging some of his papers, Calvin took a few moments, then started speaking again.

"Now as for the next subject on the agenda. It seems like another nation, not even a corporation, is trying to set up a competing organization. This nation, Steel Butterfly, seems to taunt us with the message he has sent to the CCHQ. Intelligence also confirms something is about to happen. I would like to ask if anybody has more information on the subject, and then we will discuss how grave the threat may be."

"Ah, there I can help. Steel Butterfly has little or no chance of succeeding in that goal. As the most honored Kane can attest to, the number of nations that will trust that scum is low." Bruno felt overjoyed. I could get a knighthood for this.

"Could you please clarify what exactly his plans are?"

"As you might be aware, Steel Butterfly, one of the leaders of The Dominion, formerly GDODAD, broke with his former allies in a most treacherous way. I believe I can say with certainity that he is trying to put back together a support base. As two of our members, perhaps more, are part of the Dominion, they can reveal more details. However, we can nip this in the bud if both we and WBO advertise on whatever medium he starts up to create a new alliance." Bruno took a drink from the wine glass before him. "Also, a good old fashioned smear campaign could work wonders."

"Agreed. The former GDODAD was a powerful organization, remember. If Steel Butterfly manages to create an equally powerful body that competes directly with us, it could significantly endanger our profits and returns. Does anybody else have an opinion on this?"

Bruno shakes his head. "He can't. Only tiny nations, like those of the Orthanc alliance, would join him now. And you saw how long they lasted."

Giovanni Thomsson stood up and spoke:" While the Brotherhood is one of the leaders of the Dominion, we do not know more about Steel Butterfly than anyone else present here. Apparently he is going to be one of the founding members of some new alliance, which goals, members, policies and structure are unknown as of yet. However, the Brotherhood believes that Steel Butterfly and his alliance will never pose a direct or indirect threat to the Brotherhood or any other nation even half as powerful as the Brotherhood. In a possibly related event, Brotherhood intelligence services did stumble on communications between Steel Butterfly and Automagfreek, but the nature of the communications is still unknown to us."

OOC: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71365

"Again, we agree with the Brotherhood. Steel Butterflies reputation is less than low, and it`s ability to maintain such an alliance is more than questionable. There is no threat, if if a threat comes, we will be able to deal with it."

~ Mr. Morden, speaking for the associates

Bruno looked at his allies around the table. He coughed. "Yes. Now, if you will all look at Issue 3?"

Issue 3: Increased tarriffs for trade to external nations

Calvin looked straight at Bruno, and started speaking. "Before we start this discussion, let me make an observation. Many of the CC members are also involved in other alliances and organizations. We, ourselves, are also WTE and SATO members, for instance. Now, taking the WTE as an example, it should be clear that increasing tariffs is very inadequate. After all, the VTC gains all its technological developments from shared WTE research and funding. We will not spoil that relation with higher tariffs."

Bruno knows when he's beaten... but he won't back down. "Yes, and this is right and proper. After all, many of our allies would destroy us if we dealt them a bum hand. However, that wasn't what I had in mind." He pulled down a screen.

#1 New Nations ((N00bs))

#2 CACE members

#3 Sponsors of terrorism.

"This is what I meant."

The Brotherhood does not agree with #3, and does not trade with CACE members that we know of.

OOC:- the post where SB is forming a new alliance is here http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71339
I would join but I'm not a corporation & I don't have any major business...but I may be a loyal customer to some of you soon.

"Hmm... well, there are always ways. What I mean is, too often we provide benefits to those who don't deserve them. The weak, the poor. For all we know, some of what we spend could be passed onto the UN, or CACE through channels!"

"May I suggest the opposite? Invest heavily in new industries and nations, economically bonding them to us. If we gain large amounts of influence while they are still small, we can earn back our effort back 10-fold when they are large enough to make significant profits."

"Indeed. But what if this nation falls into socialism or UN membership, those twin scourges of commerce?"

"Proper manipulation and financial incentives can steer almost any government away from those two threats. Remember, everything is for sale, and people are the cheapest."

Bruno nods. "Very well. If I may return to number2 on the agenda? This... thing with SB. New information has come to light."

"Yes. Apparently Steel Butterfly is creating a new galactic corporate alliance, or he is (becoming) a major member" Giovanni Thomsson said. "He claims that 2 major space nations are joining him, one of which is probably Automagfreek. As soon as anything official is announced, the Brotherhood will probably severe all political and economical ties with the member nations, although nothing has been decided yet."

"I still say it would be easier to destroy his reputation." Bruno sighed. "Anyway, moving on, where are we going to hold the barbecue this year?"

The man in a black trenchcoat and widebrimmed hat again stood. "CoVar also disagrees with three, for the simple reason in that it would indicate CoVar, itself. On the other matter, CoVar is prepared to all severe ties to the treacherous Steel Butterfly. If such an alliance were to manifest itself, we believe immediate and severe action would need to be taken. Boycotts, Bad Press, and even Overt and Covert Military Actions." He sat back down into the shadows.

"The Brotherhood has much experience with propaganda and Bad Press and is willing to use that experience."

A hand gestured in the shadows. "CoVar, with proper funding, would put it's trained mercenary forces into a military action, and would enjoy also taking part in propaganda with are highly experienced allies in the Brotherhood. Who we know can work wonders in Bad Press." The hand again settled and disappeared in the shadows.

Calvin laughed soflty, a low sound coming deep from his throat. "Gentlemen, I think we all agree that this new SB organization can not be allowed to establish a powerbase on the international market. Let me assure you that we have sufficient contacts with certain...eh...freedom fighters, that can make life into hell for a spacebased capitalist alliance"

The hand again appeared pointing straight to the Vortex Corporation delegate. "I think you are not taking this threat seriously. Steel Butterfly is a powerful nation with even a few allies he is a threat. We must meet this new alliance with overwhelming force to make sure it is completely destroyed before it has a near invulnerable powerbase."

Sonya Chang addresses the Coalition again,

"Gentlemen, let's not get dramatic here. War is bad for business. If Steel Butterfly is as powerful and threatening as Covar claims, then directly leading us into a military conflict with their alliance would be a mutually destructive, pointless and wasteful war. However, the use of propoganda to reassert the Coalition's authority has our approval, for it rings true with the spirit of the Corporate Coalition, and achieves the most toward our goal while wasting as little of our resources as possible."

tag...you'll be getting some competition soon...unless different time frames are involved

How so? You've been deemed the most untrustworty nation on the planet. Also, I think we're mostly space nations. Resi, we're debating sending aid to poor nations.

ok...although your people's thoughts matter little...

And ok then...because my group is mostly space oriented too... :P

"Yes. Apparently Steel Butterfly is creating a new galactic corporate alliance, or he is (becoming) a major member" Giovanni Thomsson said. "He claims that 2 major space nations are joining him, one of which is probably Automagfreek. As soon as anything official is announced, the Brotherhood will probably severe all political and economical ties with the member nations, although nothing has been decided yet."

"Considering the fact that Automagfreek is one of the most disrespected nations accross the galaxy, his joining said alliance would probably be good..."

Sonya Chang addresses the Coalition again,

"Gentlemen, let's not get dramatic here. War is bad for business. If Steel Butterfly is as powerful and threatening as Covar claims, then directly leading us into a military conflict with their alliance would be a mutually destructive, pointless and wasteful war. However, the use of propoganda to reassert the Coalition's authority has our approval, for it rings true with the spirit of the Corporate Coalition, and achieves the most toward our goal while wasting as little of our resources as possible."

"Ah, but I'm not talking about war", Giovanni Thomsson said. "The Brotherhood is more thinking along the lines of supporting small groups of (he nods to Calvin) freedom fighters. Also, if they're space-based, we might try to gain a monopoly in certain commodities spacetravel needs."

"Ah, but I'm not talking about war", Giovanni Thomsson said. "The Brotherhood is more thinking along the lines of supporting small groups of (he nods to Calvin) freedom fighters. Also, if they're space-based, we might try to gain a monopoly in certain commodities spacetravel needs."

The DA delegate nods. "That is indeed very convenient. Considering that we have certain experiences regarding such methods, we would be glad to assist, shoud the neccessarity for such subtle ways arise.

Of course, so far we prefer to deal with the situation due to our sheer economical power, which should be sufficient"

"Roania has links with the Galactic Alliance. I think we can nip this in the bud. Also, The Brotherhood" he corrected himself, "The other brotherhood, is a member as well."

Calvin looks at the Brotherhood representative, and gives an understanding nod. Indeed, their ways were similar enough to create a mutual understanding about what had to be done, might things come to that point.

Gentlemen of the Board of CEOs; representatives, dignitaries.

The PrattCo Conglomerate board of directors has recently placed our membership in the CC up for review. Let us review first some of the basic suggested advantages of CC membership:

" - Free trade between member companies.
- Shared innovation.
- No price-competition.
- More political power.
- Free flow of information, persons and goods between members states.
- Control."

With regard to all of the above points, it is worth noting that the PCC has not seen any increase in gross revenue beyond what our analysts predicted would happen normally.

To the point of political power, in particular, the Corporate Coalition is something of an international joke. It has barely even been acknowledged by the international community. Equally ambitious claims of market dominance and enforced embargoes have fallen short in reality as well.

To the point of shared innovation, well, this is hardly an advantage. It eliminates the rewards of research and practically walks over standard business laws.

To the point of free flowing information, the CCHQ has sat vacant for months; while the city of New Winchester Canyon bustles with activity, the Corporate Coalition idles.

Let us be real here, gentlemen. We all are competitors. We have our unique products and services, and full sovereign authority to act as we wish. Attempting to eliminate that which makes capitalism great-- competition and reward-- is more of a communist plot than a good idea for a coalition.

In short, I have seriously considering withdrawing the PrattCo Conglomerate from the CC for some time, and the board of directors has "serious and grave doubts" as well. Pending any dramatic changes to contradict what the BoD and myself have discovered, we will indeed withdraw shortly.

That is all.

The Brotherhood ambassador now warned Iesus Christi against breaking patents from CC members, but Kane felt it necessary to bring this up for discussion. Iesus Christi has not responded yet, but the Brotherhood feels we must at least have a plan ready should this evil continue."

A shadow gestures. "We concur with the Brotherhood. We must prepare for immediate action that will cripple Iesus Christi." There is a moment of silence. "If they continue."

"Our ambassador is still awaiting an official response from the Iesus Christi government, but in the meantime we might want to ready ourselves for heavy economical sanctions."

There was laughter from the shadows. "Yes," said the CoVar representative. "Heavy economic sanctions."

There was laughter from the shadows. "Yes," said the CoVar representative. "Heavy economic sanctions."

"Do you have any...suggestions?"

Upon hearing the news, Bob Pratt reconsidered:

"If Iesus Christi is so willing to sting us all, and disregard international law, Iesus Christi is a threat not only to the Corporate Coalition but to us as well. For now, we will consider the PCC a continuing member of the Corporate Coalition, in order to smoothly resolve this Iesus situation.

"Moreover, we agree in part with our friend in Nod. We also advocate severe sanctions, but will go a step further: Iesus will never allow such sanctions to take place, and will eventually war with us all over his stolen tech. Therefore, it is best, and much more logical, if we seize the initiative and employ military force to accompany these sanctions.

"We at the PrattCo Conglomerate have much force to use. With a strong, multilateral show of power from the Corporate Coalition, we will send a clear message to Iesus thieves. As a wise man once said, "you can get further with a kind word and a gun, then you can with just a kind word." This same applies here.

"It is even possible that should this prove successful, we will bring hitherto unattained glory and market dominance to the Corporate Coalition, and it will almost certainly restore the Board of Directors faith in the CC."

"Bob, you are right. This Coalition has not lived up to its full potential. Nobody is to blame, for now. It is now time to stand tall. Iesus can not, will not get away with this."

"On that, friend, we are agreed. However, a war with Iesus will not be easy. We must have the Brotherhood's input on this matter and, hopefully, support, for this to succeed."

"You are right. It is also highly inprobable that Iesus will stand alone. Say what you will of his allies, but they are loyal to their leader"

"This has been taken into account as well. My chief military and intelligence analysts inform me that the Reich possesses nowhere near the space-force projection capability that the PCC has, at least when taking into account the many space-based corporations here in the Corporate Coalition as well. Thus, a space-based projection would be the most successful, and naturally, orbital superiority is key to any successful surface operations.

"However, should our force be strong, multilateral and assertive enough, surface operations and their expenses will not be needed. We are not looking at a long and costly war, but rather a quick victory to sweeten the deal and convince Iesus to rightfully stand down."

"In addition, our sources indicate that Iesus and his allies are already preocuppied in war. They can ill-afford a war on two fronts. Now would seem to be the most opportune time."

"Do you have any...suggestions?"

There was further laughter from the CoVar Representative. "Oh, I have plenty of suggestions. None, that I think you would like, but with the proper funding CoVar can do many thing most people, wouldn't like.

"Anyway, there is another matter to discuss. We have recieved news that a Baudrillard, of which we know little, is pressuring a UN proposal for resolution to destroy monopolies. I do not need to stress the importance of this matter, I am sure. It also, cannot be taken likely, but for now it is not a threat. Although, if it would gain power, it would be. I would therefore, point out that some covert act against Baudrillard and those who support this act need to be taken." A hand slid from the shadows and deposited a stack of papers on the desk, which were then passed out to all members.

OOC: Here is the thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76197).

"I have it on the best of authority that action will be taken against Iesus Cristi by powers greater than us." Bruno said, leaning back. "As for this... proposal, I have this to say. It is a foolish proposal for foolish minds. It will never reach the table, that I am certain of."

"Gentlemen, and Ladies, I propose we try to establish an alliance with SATO, which despises the nation of Iesus and The Reich with a passion..." Rowan said, while munching on a bag of Doritos.

I have it on the best of authority that action will be taken against Iesus Cristi by powers greater than us.

Sonya Chang asks, "On what high authority, exactly? Iesus has many enemies, but can we trust the enemies of our enemies to enforce Corporate Coalition policy on product rights? The way our CEO sees it, Iesus has delivered a direct challenge; by refusing to answer, we will face loss of stock value and international credibility."

"The authority of a very close ally of the Motherland. I assure you, Iesus Cristi will cease to be a threat very soon. Incidentlly, might be a good idea to remove all investment from Iesus Cristi. I'm sure Rowan knows which allies I'm referring to, though like me he's not going to call it out loud."

"There have been many times over the years, gentlemen, when we have heard utterances of the final death of Iesus Christi. I for one remain unconvinced that a mysterious alliance will be able to attain our goals, particularly as there are very few 'higher powers' than the combined might of the PrattCo Conglomerate, Brotherhood of Nod, et cetera."

"There have been many times over the years, gentlemen, when we have heard utterances of the final death of Iesus Christi. I for one remain unconvinced that a mysterious alliance will be able to attain our goals, particularly as there are very few 'higher powers' than the combined might of the PrattCo Conglomerate, Brotherhood of Nod, et cetera."

"The higher power I speak of is a member of an alliance which starts with T. If you want, and if NOD agrees, I will table a motion on the SAVIOUR table in which we declare war on Iesus Cristi."

There was a rumbling and from the shadow the CoVar Representative rose. "We cannot, take anymore of these threats lightly," he stated loudly. "Correct, it is quite likely that the Anti-Monopoly Proposal will not make a UN resolution. I merely bringing it to the attentions of our members.

"Still, the matter of AMF and the traitorous Steel Butterfly which have apparently become strongly allied. Their space trade alliance cannot be allowed to come to power.

"Iesus Christi is also a threat, and in any event the Corporate Coalition must rear it's head and throw out it's authority. Iesus Christi, must be punished if it does not cooperate and we must be part of those who punish it to show our power." The CoVar Representative staired down at the men sitting at the desk, his eye shining angrily out from the shadow's of his wide-brimmed hat.

There was a silence and then he spoke again, this time more softly. "CoVar, will act in the name of the CC, if Iesus doesn't cooperate. Whether anyone else does is there business. But, compensation would do well to gain our favor." Finally, he sat back down. He was rapidly getting tired of this conversation. If the CC can't cooperate together or act at all how can it last, he thought tiredly.

Bob Pratt listens quietly, then stands. His face has no trace of a smile.

"The UN resolutions are immaterial. I should hope that those here have found ways around such minor things as United Nations regulation.

"We stand with the Vortex Corporation on the issue of the Steel Butterfly/AMF alliance. It has from the start, been nothing but outright competition for our international market niche. It must be taken care of.

"Regarding Iesus, I also stand by Miss Changs' and the Vortex Corporations arguments. We must indeed speak now, or forever hold our silence. Should SATO or any other alliance be the death blow of Iesus Christi, we shall receive little, if anything, to harvest from the corpse. Moreover, if that happened, we would also risk the looting of Iesus Christi-manufactured, stolen Corporate Coalition technologies and products, and the essential problem becomes the same-- only now with a presumably stronger power in possession.

"We must assert Corporate Coalition control of the situation, lest it get out of hand and come crashing right back down on us."

"Sigh. Very well. I will support any motion that you propose to deal with these problems. Edward Black has stated his wish to assassinate Nemerov, but Vortex decided against that. So, I wish to hear what you plan for Steel Butterfly."

"As for Iesus Cristi, have we yet tried to get him to join us?"

The Associate delegate raises his voice:

"First of all, we would like to note that corporations from At least three SATO members are part of the CC, thusly, the risk that SATO exploits CC property is non- existant.

Then, offering Iesus Christi to join the CC is like offering a tiger to bite in ones head. It`s simply... idiotic.

As for the UN proposal, we don`t see risks, we can always leave the UN, brought us from Powerhouse to frightening...

However, Iesus Christi isn`t that much of a danger, It may ignore copyrights, but copying something will NEVER give yoou the same quality. As for our products, we are pretty sure the real important part are pretty secure from esspionage, that may or may not have to do with our physical appearance, however...

The threat that bothers us most is indeed the AMF/ Steel Butterfly problem. Steel Butterfly isn`t exactly the most respected, or sane, nation we know, and AMF´s arrogance, and his blatant ignore of any int. rights, it`s imperialism, endangers all of us, all of the CC.

Although we have some vaguely ties with AMF due to our (practically dead and soon to be eleminated) UTP membership, we wouldn`t hesitate to throw them out of our solar system.

Thank you.

"And three of us here are part of SAVIOUR. I assure you, AMF's arrogance is going to get them killed. How many members does their trading costa have?"

"Gentlemen, ladies, this is getting out of hand. We are currently discussing and debating three different issues, and each of them seems to be important. Now, this is what I propose.

We first deal with the SB / AMF situation, since, economically speaking, their actions are the largest threat in out current business environment.

Secondly, if it is indeed true that Iesus Christi and his allies will be declared war on or will otherwise get involved in urgent business, then he can wait. If somebody will indeed already take care of him, I say we let him give it a shot. At the very least, it wil weaken him and make things easier for us, should we decide to intervene. Also, I suggest that if either SAVIOUR or SATO comes into direct conflict with the Reich, that we consider financing that war. That way, we can reach our objectives in active participation, but without the loss of life.

Thirdly, I think that the UN proposal that was brought to the table is the least urgent matter at hand. Not all of us are UN members, and the UN hardly has the means to enforce their policies. I agree that this issue is worthy of our attention, but I suggest we take a look at it only after the SB/AMF and Iesus situations have been dealt with."

"Do we have any idea how many members AMF/SB's alliance has? We might go after the people at the bottom first."

"Do we have any idea how many members AMF/SB's alliance has? We might go after the people at the bottom first."

"No. Cut the head, and they fall, cut one hand, and the other still fires at you."

~ Mr. Morden

"Then let us end this. I'm positive I could convince AMF to abandon this rash idea. We will not move against them, though. We will attack Steel Butterfly, if that is what you want."

"Then first show us tangible evidence of the fact that you can get AMF to bail out"

"I'll do my best. Offer to let him into SAVIOUR, promise free trade agreements... let him know of our policies." Bruno leans back. "Edward Black was a friend of their ex-prime minister, I'll see what he can do." Bruno pulled down some papers. "Now, I have some other information, business information. An oppurtunity for all of us to make a fortune."

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76371&highlight=

"It would be very nice of you to put that much effort in CC related issues. Now, who has propositions about how to handle Steel Butterfly?"

"You already know my proposal, so I'll refrain from restating it." Bruno said, puffing a cigar.

"As I understand it, Damien of AMF has quite the head for self-preservation. He is one we could negotiate with.

"As for Steel Butterfly... well I assure you the Reich poses no strong military threat to us, Steel Butterfly certainly does not."

"Good, because if I may remind you all: this is an economic convenant, not a military one. Our primary means of retalitation and combat should be financial ones"

Once thought annhilated, recently rediscovered, the Region of Doissetep is a great place to invest, whether it be setting up offices to cover your interests in the Umbra or a safe place to set up your corporate HQ, Doissetep is the region for you. Nestled safely beyond the Gauntlet, controlling who can or cannot enter your offices is easy! Revel in the security only a Horizon Construct can provide. If that's not enough, the Dominion of Craos, now administering the region, has one of the best Arms Industries in the Tellurian. You don't have to go far to buy the very best in new weapons technology to protect your interests. The best part of all though is we're giving land away. It's Manifest Destiny all over again! Decade long leases are absolutely free, and the only obligation is that you show up and stake your claim. So call today, operators are standing by.

We would like to apply for admition to your group.

"Gentlemen, the Iesus Christi government yesterday stated to the Brotherhood ambassador that while they will not violate Brotherhood patents because of friendly relations between our countries, other members of the Corporate Coalition are his enemies and their patents will be violated at will. While the Brotherhood will not take military action against Iesus Christi, economical sanctions are still being discussed. Iesis Christi also replied that, and I quote, "The cost of victory will be all nations reduced to ash". The power of the Corporate Coalition is not military or political, and the Brotherhood will not take military action against Iesus Christi. About other measures, it is yours to decide." Thomsson said, looking over the table with the gathered CEO's and representatives.

"Before any of you get all excited, I'd like to point out that the Nod point of view is completely justified. As they said, this alliance is economical, not military. Now, the TVC proposition is as following: we do not act military. We do not think this is necessary, since we do not think Iesus can match the quality and low production costs of our goods. But we do make this proposition: a procedure that ensures that if SATO, the Reichs mortal enemy, or any other organization that stands a chance, ever comes into war with Iesus and his peers, that the CC provides financial support in that case, plus troops of individual nations as they see fit. "

Iron Lords, please state the following:

-Are you a corporation?
-If yes, then how many % of stock is government owned?
-What are your 3 main branches / products / services?
-What do you offer as a special trade deal to us, if anything?

"The Brotherhood would rather set economical sanctions in place now, valid for all CC-Iesus trade, for we do not wish to support SATO financially."

Let me set the record straight, seeing as all of you are overly paranoid.

AMF and SB have had 1 ATTEMPT at negotiations to mend wounds from one of the most bitter feuds in the history of the world. Nothing came from the 1 short discussion, but AMF is keeping it's doors open to SB if talks want to be continued.

In short: stop worrying about things that haven't even come close to happening.
