Khrrck proposes World's Fair!

Hello, everyone.

I've been juggling this idea around for a while.

The Idea

A World's Fair.
Show off your tech, your aircraft (I plan to have an airshow), and your architecture!

Preliminaries

Some things for before we start:

We need a host. Anyone who wants to host the fair will post, and after we've got 3 or more entries I'll add a poll for people to vote.

People should respect other people's technology.
There are probably going to be some fantasy/future/far-future nations, so "I'm modern tech, and I ignore anybody else" nations should consider not applying.

A lack of cheating. I'm thinking of having competitions, for "Best Pavilion", "Most Impressive Airplane", etc. If this happens, please, no puppet-voting.

A well-described site. Host should provide this. The host should also describe areas of land for each nation, etc.

A list of invalid structures. We'll need to make a list of things you should not build on your area of land. Weapons emplacements, etc. However, if you want to build a roller coaster, it's fine with me. :)


Anything else that you think should be added to the list? Just post, and I'll add it.

About Me

Now, I'm a fairly new fantasy/near-future nation. (yes, both.. more future than fantasy at the moment.)
My citizens are nonhumans (no, not elves.).

My internal structure is composed of three "major clans" and a host of "minor clans".
The clans elect the government, which is something like a fourth clan.
Each clan has its own military. The major clans have small, well-equipped military, and the government clan has a small military, equipped with whatever cast-off junk the clans are willing to give up.

However, the government pilots are the best in Khrrck, because, as one pilot puts it, "There's a lot more challenge in flying a P-51 that could fall apart at any moment than there is in flying a state-of-the-art jet in perfect condition."

The Holy Empire of Hatchibombitar is willing to discuss hosting this event. We can offer a suitable site outside of our capital city of Cornelius. We are willing to assume all construction costs associated with the grounds and infrastructure proper, so long as participating nations will agree to pay for their own shipping, construction, and power costs.

We will need grant money from the international community for hotel construction, as well as for a "World's Fair Village" housing complex for member nation participants.

Should the Nation of Khrrck find these to be appropriate points upon which further, detailed negotiations, may be initiated, we would be happy to host a fact-finding/site examination junket.

Respectfully,

Orland Musth, Minister of the Interior, The Holy Empire of Hatchibombitar

Finally, a reply.

We have received your offer.
However, we wish to receive more offers for hosting and hold a vote before deciding upon a location.

We understand the need for comparison shopping. We hope that, should a competitive bidding process be launched, Hatchibombitar will be afforded an opportunity to submit an offer.

Respectfully,

Orland Musth, Minister of the Interior, The Holy Empire of Hatchibombitar

OOC: It's not like you're getting swamped with offers, thus far :)

OOC: Yep. I'm planning to add a poll, though, not a bidding process...

(OOC: I've already thought up a "ride" for this :) )

Trinis will be willing to host this event. We have procured a 20-acre area outside of our capital city, Poznan. Most of the land is flat, but there are some hills and streams. We will pay for constructing and operating event sites, such as the main pavilions, but ask countries pay for their own transportation, and construction of special sites, rides, or exhibits. We also wish that the costs for the vistitor's village be relieved somewhat by the international community. We will share some of the costs, of course. Also, we will have hotels available in Poznan for those who can book a room first, our finest being the Hotel Prez-

Poznan is a cultural and economical center, able to recieve all visitors and participants. Trinis is happy to be eligible for such an oppurtunity.

[OOC: I'm planning to wait for a few more people to come in before I
start. Just say that you're going to participate.
Since we've got two hosts, I'm starting a poll now... ]

Drizzt, demonstrations will be perfectly OK. Are you planning to have a pavilion?

Dear Khrrck,

We of Nanakaland want to host it. We will offer a large tract of land just outside Port Nanaka. That would also allow naval demonstrations. Port Nanaka is the commercial center of my Nation and the southernmost city in my region. Port Nanaka is a very developed city and thus would have no problem housing enough people from the World's Fair, but the areas surrounding Port Nanaka are clear enough to set up a World's Fair.

Best Regards,
President Michael J. Smith,
President of Nanakaland,
Founder / President / Secretary of War of the Legion of Defence,
Member / Vice President of The Kingdom of the Midlands region

Khrrck
26-01-2004, 21:33
Agreed. Nanakaland should host it.
[OOC: I'd add it to the poll, but something's wrong with the forums.]

31-01-2004, 17:13

We would love to join in this fair. My nation would like to be sure of what sort of things should not be presented so that we have a better idea of what to present, but we will join in regardless.

Good, good.
Seems like we're moving.

When you're ready, Nanakaland, create the World's Fair topic and post a link, so we can all go there.
