International Developments Group Sponsors Emergency Relief

The IDG announced today the financing of a new sub-conglomerate, Disaster Relief, Incorporated, which will provide a revolutionary global disaster relief service at low cost, with an effective high-readiness emergency response capability employing the full assets of the PrattCo Conglomerate.

Dol James, President of DRI, acknowledged the support before reporters.

"DRI will provide humanitarian disaster relief to any nation or party with whom we agree on the terms of our program. As President and executive of this movement, I am eternally grateful to the International Developments Group for financing and supporting this great step towards peace and caregiving to all nations afflicted by various natural disasters."

The 15-point agreement of the DRI contract is short, complete, and with no hidden clauses. Included among the terms is the SafeGuard™ Program, which "consists of a manned installation placed in the [Nation Under Distress]’s territory...uninhibited radio/laser communications tower, living space and basic services for DRI employees, storage facilities for emergency equipment and supplies, a hospital, temporary housing modules, a small air- or space-port VTOL landing site, and free access to the NUDs transportation networks required..."

Should skeptics be worried that the revolutionary SafeGuard™ program be mis-used, a clause is included which explicitly states: "SafeGuard™ Installations may not be employed by either party for any other reasons than those agreed upon in the terms of this contract."

The DRIs program is now being offered as a protection and insurance for any future disasters suffered by signatory nations, and is expected to launch operations immediately.

Disasters include "Earthquakes, non-artificial virus and bacteria caused diseases, fires ignited by natural causes, tornadoes, tsunamis and tidal waves, hurricanes and flooding, meteorites, heavy winter storms. Limited coverage may be provided of exceptions on a case-by-case basis of agreement," and do not include war or other intentionally caused damage relief.

Currently, the DRI program is specifically as a kind of insurance, but DRI spokespeople admitted their services would be offered to nations currently suffering disasters, on a case-by-case basis and without the SafeGuard™ prevention option- providing immediate relief to nations even if disaster has already struck.

DRI Offers several "package" agreements to suit the varying Disaster Relief needs of our clientele. In such agreements, the contract above is modified upon a meeting of the minds and mutual understanding-- these packages can be themselves modified upon request.

Package 1: Patriot Protection

In this package, aid is provided to the NUD's citizens who are visiting another nation and encounter disaster. DRI helps evacuate said citizens and offer temporary refuge until they can be relocated away from the disaster. Suggested price: 8% of the NUD's budget per year of coverage, plus 10% of that per Confirmed Event (foreign disaster with NUD citizens in harms way) DRI will attend.

Package 2: Disaster Coverage Only

Here, disaster relief is provided to the NUD, but without the SafeGuard™ Program. In this case, as with Package 1, DRI will have to be contacted directly and notified of the situation. There may be a loss in efficiency as compared to the SafeGuard™ Program, but it is cheaper and less intrusive, for those nations who cannot accept DRI installations or employees on a semi-permanent basis. Suggested price: 10% of the NUD's budget per year of coverage.

Package 3: Post-Disaster Reconstruction

An exclusive offer of DRI, this package still doesn't include the SafeGuard™ Program, and DRI services would not be used to combat disasters in an emergency service manner. Here, the DRI service is in reconstruction, repair and restoration to damaged areas only in a per-disaster, one-time basis. This package is ideal for those clients who have already experienced a disaster and have difficulties getting "back on their feet." Suggest price: 13% of the NUD's budget for one severe disaster, 6% for one medium-scale, or 3% for one low-scale disaster.

Package 4: SafeGuard™ Program

As described in the Standard Contract, the SafeGuard™ Program is designed as a "safety net" for nations against any future disaster. Services are prepositioned in key areas, in full cooperation with the client government, and will be able to react quickly to emergency situations, providing full disaster relief. Suggested price: 11% of the NUD's budget per year of coverage.

Package 5: Full Coverage

This includes everything in the above packages and Standard Contract, virtually guaranteeing the client nation the ultimate in protection, at home and while abroad. Suggested price: 13% of the NUD's budget per year of coverage.

(OOC: Think of this as a cross between the Red Cross and national-level disaster insurance. Prices are all [mostly] suggestions, so feel free to offer counter-offers and explain the situation. How it works ICly is, if a disaster strikes you TG me and DRI comes to the rescue, and you can if you wish add "covered by DRI" with the DRI logo above to your sig. Unless you got one of the one-time deals.)

ooc:- Can this be used to cover a nation citizens in another nation? Like if a nation has a disaster & my citizens were in that nation on holiday or buisness and got caught up.

Of course I expect known war zones & the like will be excluded automatically, but can we pay for a package that will result in your personnel assisting our non-military people (assuming your neutral in the conflict) in leaving nations that suddenly flare up in conflict?

To: Santa Barbara Diplomats - International Development Group
From: Vrak Diplomatic Corps
Subject: Humanitarian assistance

We applaud the steps that the great Santa Barbara nation is undertaking. We would ask if we could work jointly in your efforts through the use of our TDP technology.

Now, before you think this is a shameless advertising plug, consider this:

1) Clean water is often scarce in these type of situations. By recycling various forms of biomass - clean, sterilized water can be extracted.
2) Decomposition of bodies and subsequent clean up - especially after a war - not to mention the aspects of disease can also be rectified. Our TDP technology breaks things down at the molecular level so fears of disease is eliminated.

For more information please refer to this public announcement:

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=72651

At the moment we are experimenting with mobile TDP platforms (that is, can fit on the back of a five ton truck) to render humanitarian assistance much more effectively. We hope to hear from your office soon.

ooc:- Can this be used to cover a nation citizens in another nation? Like if a nation has a disaster & my citizens were in that nation on holiday or buisness and got caught up.

Hmm, well since that would involve sending transports to a third partys territories, they would have to agree to it for this to work.


Of course I expect known war zones & the like will be excluded automatically, but can we pay for a package that will result in your personnel assisting our non-military people (assuming your neutral in the conflict) in leaving nations that suddenly flare up in conflict?

Yes. Included in the contract is a clause of neutrality in such cases. Of course, the amount of citizens to be evacuated is a key factor, the DRI contract is for assistance in national-level emergencies generally speaking. If something were to require more of a special operations rescue mission, that would be beyond this programs jurisdiction.

From: Eric Love, Director, PCC International Developments Group
Subject: Re: Humanitarian assistance

I've spoken with the CEO of DRI, and a suitable deal to incorporate your TDP technologies on an initially limited basis is in order. Since DRI is a subsidiary of the Conglomerate, and Conglomerate will likely be called in for situations severe enough where DRI is incapable of providing enough water or other assistance, it makes sense to deal with the PCC on this matter rather than DRI directly. As nanotechnology has something of an unstable reputation and may prove politically difficult, a limited basis for its use is required. Thus, nanotechnology will not be employed in DRI SafeGuard™ installations, but in situations where it is required to provide the best results. The PCC is prepared to offer a suitable price for the replication and operation of TDP technology, either a rate or percentage of profits. Is this acceptable?

"We are interested in this contract, could you please provide the details of this contract so we may be able to decide whether to go forward on this or not please."

[OOC: Yep. No false promises or hidden info, near as I can tell]

ooc:- is it possible to modify the contract to only cover events outside the nation of Slagkattunger? Mainly my nation can handle internal disasters..it just wants a 3rd party who can help its citizens outside the nation and therefore harder for Slagkattunger to help. Obviously if this means a higher rate they will understand (so long as it is within reason). Also Slagkattungerians would go into revolt if it was even hinted that non-Slagkattungerians were going to be allowed access beyond the plains of Slagkattunger.

To: Eric Love, Director, PCC International Developments Group
From: Vrak Trade Division
Subject: Re: Humanitarian assistance

We can offer the PPC International Developments Group our limited license. The terms are as follows:

Licenser: The Kingdom of Vrak
Licensee: PPC International Developments Group

Limited license:

1) Allows construction of TDP plants within the licensee nation.
2) TDP technology to be limited to only plants within the licensee nation.
3) Export of TDP technology prohibited.
4) One-time license fee of 1 billion dollars payable to the licenser.
5) Annual license fee of one million dollars. This, however, allows the licensee rights to improved TDP technology that the licenser develops.
6) Construction of said TDP plants to be performed jointly with the licensee and licenser. This includes any future construction projects until such time licenser officials feel that licensee firms meet TDP guidelines.
7) Training provided in the operation of the TDP plant by the licenser. This includes providing distribution support in tying the TDP plant into existing systems.
8) Related technological breakthroughs in TDP that the licensee develops independently is expected to be shared with the licenser.

9) [Disclaimer: The Kingdom of Vrak and the companies associated with the development of TDP technology is in no way responsible for the application of said technology. We cannot be held responsible for any repercussions that you; the licensee may encounter.]

Since this is for humanitarian purposes, we feel that we need to restrict the terms of the license to include the following clause:

10) Application of TDP technology is restricted for humanitarian usage only. If the licensee is discovered to be in breach of this or any other terms of the contract then subsequent obligations by the licenser are rendered null and void.


Are these terms acceptable? We are currently trying to make mobile TDP platforms to better service our more remote communities.

OOC: I’m still modifying the original contract – that is I forgot to include sanctions if either side fails to live up to its obligations. That is, if you start selling the tech or I don’t pass along new research breakthroughs then various punishments would occur. I’m also thinking of drawing up some kind of logo.

edit: damn emoticons!

OOC: Sure. Lets say DRI modifies the contract just so, with the stipulation that Slagkattunger or its allies cannot be the cause of any of those external disasters. And with the SafeGuard thing not enacted in your case, that would probably mean a lower price, which combined with the special needs comes out to about the same. Price-per year is negotiated individually anyway. Lets say DRI offers a fee of $95,000,000,000 each year of coverage? Remembering that that includes basically the entire PCC logistics corps, if needed.

We've reviewed and accepted these terms most gratefully and are prepared to sign your contract! I expect IDG, DRI and Vrakian executive and legal branches will be meeting soon and often to get to work.

OOC: While we wouldn't be selling the tech, you DO know of course that we'd be selling services employing the tech. Logos are cool, maybe I could help somehow with that. :D

OOC: Oh, I know. I’m sure sooner or later someone will attempt to reverse engineer the stuff but were counting on quality being on our side. For logos, I was thinking of a half exposed person falling into a tank and at the bottom a kid opening a faucet of said tank with water gushing out into his glass. The kid would have a big grin on his face. Just ties in with the motto.

Excellent. Let the legal staff work out the details. We hope that this joint venture will serve to better mankind and promote the interests of our respective companies.

How about dropping it to 50,000,000,000 since I've started a list of nations to avoid for my citizens (not counting the standard traveller warning every nation gives out to its travelling citizens)? I mean thats a really high price for covering a protential event...say the price I suggested with us paying an extra 1,000,000,000 (Up to the quoted price) for each confirmed event that you are required to attend? I mean at the moment your price would geat up a fifth of my budget...how about a scale system in relation to the size of my nation? This would help smaller nations to take out a claim as well.

Also what Motto/link would I use below my tag to represent this if we go ahead with this?

Actually, I'd intended to make it proportional to the country population and economy to a degree, I just hadn't like you did right there, so thats excellent. You could just link to this thread for now, I'll probably come up with a graphic logo for DRI sometime, which you could use as well. No motto, but maybe something like "Covered by DRI" or something.

Ill give this its own page, with a list of covered nations and probably 2 or 3 contract variations or "packages." If enough sign up (cough cough bump hint buy now buy now!) I might give DRI its own musical logo too.

Plus when will you post a more professional looking thread for this? You may get more buisness with such a post, plus you should include a more fix pricing level so people can "buy" a set package.
