The vesh pij verr would like to invite the international community to a new investment opportunity. In the months following the war with ClemsonTigers, the Rayverr people have rebuilt the infrastructure of Cvechiokal to make it a haven for the refugees of the former Sean Empire. However, due to the peculiar nature of the vesh's economy--probably best described as socialistic--we do not have the capital necessary to employ all of these refugees. The end result is that we have a large number of intelligent, healthy citizens who need work in a region where the basic infrastructure is sufficient, but not yet as completely modern and pervasive as we would like it to be.

This is where you, your nations, and your corporate interests come in. The vesh pij verr is quite interested in arranging mutually beneficial relations so other nations can invest in the four hundred million citizens of Cvechiokal. The region is the flood plain of a river that flows from the mountains that surround it on two sides; there are mining opportunities in the mountains and the river, now cleaned and restocked after the war, has economic potential as well. Cvechiokal is land-locked, but České, its capital, now has a burgeoning airport and spaceport, capable of world-wide service. All of these assets, and the workers needed to utilize them, can be part of the return on your investments to improve the infrastructure of Cvechiokal and by connection the well-being of the vesh pij verr.

We can negotiate terms on an individual basis, but the basic plan is that we retain all authority over Cvechiokal; investment capital represents ownership of an interest in Cvechiokal and that it can bring a return as the region improves, much like stocks. We cannot guarantee that every investment will be profitable in the short term, but all investment requires some risk and this is by its very nature a long-term endeavour.

Anyone interested in this offer can either contact our corporate interests on Machiavelli Station (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=392682) or contact us directly, here in Cvechiokal. We can provide more information upon request, and look forward to working with all of you.

Masjon Hieronymus Styger of the vesh pij verr, Greetings:

We are interested in this investment opportunity, and as a fellow socialist country we feel we must help no matter what, we currently have 30 billion dollars that we are willing to invest, as an intial amount, with more to follow if we are feel it to be prudent.

We are awaiting your response as to how this might be best invested for a maximum benefit both to these refugees and to our own humble selves.

o Advisor F McCloud (Foreign Investments, Constitutional Monarchy of Gordenia)

Advisor:

Thank you for your interest. Thirty billion dollars is a most magnanamous investment that would go a long way in private infrastructure. In the days of the Sean Empire, this region was more rural, being more remote from the core regions, and so its transportation infrastructure is decidedly subpar. The roads networking Cvechiokal's cities need improvement, and the inner cities require public transportation assets from people who have better experience with such things than we do. We have solutions in place for the moment, but seeing as most of the civil engineering experience was in the core regions (which is now the Holy Empire of ClemsonTigers)...

Your investment would be best suited to improve our infrastructure. If you have civil engineering specialists with experience in traffic systems and highway networking, we would be most appreciative if they could assist in applying your investment effectively.

Thank you for your assistance,

Masjon Hieronymus Styger

Subject: Mining exploration

In response to your advertising of your region's mineral potential, DeepCore Mining is interested in conducting a series of surveys in order to flesh out just what potential for resource extraction there is. Our own geologists believe, based on their own guesstimates, there's enough there to warrant investing; depending on the exact size of resource deposits, an initial investment could reach in excess of one billion USD within the first two years.

We eagerly await permission to begin our surveys to get the ball rolling.{Erthkai'i'tamdekmake'terr}

o SrVP Kelly Pryor, (Exploration, Deep Core Mining)

Excellent. The erthkai vesh pij verr sees no reason why it should not grant your request, although additional information is perhaps appropriate at this juncture. As you perhaps know, the region of Cvechiokal was annexed militarily due to the unacceptable belligerency of ClemsonTigers, since reformed thanks to our military intervention. However, as could be predicted, there are still insurgents lurking about, those still with loyalties to the long-dead Sean Empire, trying to... interfere with the policies of the vesh pij verr and by extension our attempts to improve the region of Cvechiokal. The cities and fields are safe, well protected by our forces, but the mountains are somewhat more dangerous, as they are sparsely inhabited.

The first danger is from insurgents; this can be quickly mollified by a military escort, if you so choose. The second danger is that the mountain range acts as a shield wall between us and the irradiated portions of the Sean Empire, the result of a nuclear barrage by ClemsonTigers. We cannot have any change in the mountain's ability to block or absorb radiation--and we doubt verymuch that is a concern--but we can also only guarantee that our side of the mountain range is free from radiological taint. I do not know if this will adversely affect your desire to investigate our resources, but it is only right that you know.

Subject: Joint agricultural development projects

We see great potential within Cvechiokal to beomce a breadbasket for the entire region, with sufficient development. We are interested in long-term infrastructure projects, particularly the damming of the main river within Cveciokal for the purposes of power generation, flood control, and irrigation. We are also interested in helping Chechiokal develop a modern agricultural base to exploit to the fullest its food production potential.

Total investment would be, at the minimum, five billion USD; depending on the extent to which work needs to be done on the river and modernizing agriculture, the actual amount could well be triple that.{Erthkai'i'tamdekmake'terr}

Thank you for your interest. The local geographic staff of Cvechiokal looks forward to your projected assistance, but they do have one warning of note: the river draws down mineral-rich silt from the mountains and deposits it along its flood plain in annual low-scale flooding, much like the Nile albeit on a much, much lower scale. Unlike the Nile, however, that is not our only arable terrain; Cvechiokal is mostly a broad plain with deciduous and conifer forests in the foothills of the mountains to the northwest. The plains are quite capable of good crop production with care, but the flood plain is certainly our most fertile area and is the center of most of our food production at the moment. The geographers and the few civil engineers we have native to Cvechiokal have some theories; it would probably be most effective if you talked to them directly.

If this situation does not present too big of an engineering problem to your interests, then I look forward to your assistance in improving the erthkai vesh pij verr.

Subject: Interest in building a factory

RayEarth Hope Appliances is interested in building a pilot factory in Cvechiokal to produce toasters and microwaves for the Juumanistran market. Should the project prove to be successful, we would be interested in expanding our presence as well as the diversity of the products produced, as well introducing our products into the domestic Cvechiokal.

We eagerly await your response.{Erthkai'i'tamdekmake'terr}

o Manager Ray Uzuki (Regional Production, RayEarth Appliances)

Due to the privations of the fall of the Sean Empire and the conflict with ClemsonTigers, the local populace has gone without many of what they consider to be 'modern' amenities for quite some time. According to the regional historians, their standard of living is equivalent to the 1930s--more comfortable than a great deal of the world in the cities, true, but nowhere near modern standards. All this is mostly because Cvechiokal suffered a 'brain drain' of engineers with the fall of the Sean Empire and the engineers of the region have only been able to maintain this level of technology. Bringing in any sort of technology that relies on directed energy, my science advisors tell me, would improve this situation a great deal.

If you wish to build a factory here, the vesh pij verr welcomes you.

Masjon Hieronymus Styger of the vesh pij verr, Greetings:

Our country is one of rural highlands connected to large metropolises,and tied to the outside world by large bridges, we have many experienced Civil Engineers, Municipal Development Planners, Enviromental Engineers, and Structural Engineers who would be able come and assist your nation in developing an efficient and orderly infrastructure.

The money is partly from the government budget but mainly from private businesses in our nation. While a percentage of the money has been marked as donation for public work projects (with the associated tax deduction for such donations) and should be used that way, with the knowledge of help received being return enough, another portion is for use in investing in some business ventures, with a more substantial return expected.

We will have our investment and engineering experts flown into your area next week to see how best this money should spent, and what area we can provide the maximum assistance.

The erthkai vesh pij verr thanks you for your effort and will make every effort in return to ensure that your experts feel welcome in our lands. The vesh pij verr has never been, on the whole, a monetary society so by many standards we do not have much; however, we still have hospitality and good grace to extend until such a time that we can repay our debts to you more fully.

Thank you for all your help,

OOC:

I am going to have to get more work done on the map tomorrow, but right now here is a preview of what I have (in it you can see the mountains [brown], the rolling hills [green], and the flood plain [lighter green], and the river system [blue]):

http://www.weirdozone.0catch.com/projects/compyart/photochop/cvechiokal.gif

To the northwest is the "Irradiated Zone," which is ex-Sean Empire and leads towards ClemsonTigers after a short ways. It continues northward, and while the vesh technically has control of it, it isn't interesting except as a post-apocalyptic landscape under reconstruction. To the east and south, however, there are other nations...

Unfortunately, I do not know who my neighbors are. A most unfortunate oversight, especially that ClemsonTigers is in a feeder region and my Shkai region is a placeholder for the entire vesh.

I suppose I should find neighbors, then. The whole of the old Sean Empire, according to ClemsonTigers, was landlocked... maybe I should make a new thread and take applicants. Thoughts?
