Basically, to extend further diplomatic relationships, The "Democratic Republic" Of Ankara Alphyaz is extending the hand of friendship (Yeah right). ANyone that wants to send a diplomatic envoy over to check out AA, so to speak, is welcome to post on this thread. When at least two people are interested I'll make the thread.

For reference Map of Ankara Alphyaz (http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/8277/ankaramap7yf.png)

Ankara Alphyaz is a Dictatorship bent on controlling the media, the people, and the economy. All of Ankara's Economy, with the exception of the Praetonian East Ankara Company (which controls 34% of Ankara's Economy and 29% of it's national production).

Ankara favours Defence, Healthcare, and Education (Obviously, only important things like Natural Science and how to fire a rifle, are taught in Education.)

It's people are highly nationalistic and often make rude remarks about other countries.

AA is ridden with propaganda, some of it dating back 60 years to the Boran Antana regime.

AA's weather is extremely hot, reaching averages of 38-41 degrees centigrade while sand encompasses 91% of Ankara Alphyaz.

Alphyaz is the north of the country and Ankara is the centre/south.

The dictator, or "chancellor" of AA is a Ferro Fontanel. He is almost worshipped by the populace, and although he claims to hate and combat capitalism, members of the Free Press Revolution have much evidence he has many contacts in the EAC and hosts a great deal of parties for leading generals and shareholders in both Ankara's economy and the EAC.

So what are you waiting for? Your free ticket to the world's most sandy dictatorship is on YOUR doorstep!

Press Release - Joint Board of Directors and Shareholders of the East Ankara Company

Dear Potential Investors and Interested Parties!

The recent few years of operations of the East Ankara Company have, I am pleased to say, been a spectacular success. Initial investors who still hold their full share in the venture have made an estimated 5,600% on their initial investment, the company now controls more than a third of the economy of Ankara and more than a quarter of their national produce. Our operating profit has grown to a record 353,467,346 Praefelis based on half-yearly forecasts and major investment has been made in our tea, cereals, fabrics and electronics manufacturing sectors, and His Majesty King Sarius I has granted the Company a Royal Monopoly on all trade to and from Ankara.

Our involvement in the nation does not end with financial matters, however. Over the past five years, the average wage in Ankara has increased by 12% in EAC-controlled sectors and EAC housing estates now house a large proportion of the working population. EAC-funded pension schemes based on investment in the company itself and in a broad portfolio on the Imperial Stock Exchange have already begun the process of improving the financial security of the Ankaran populace. Our good working partnership with the Ankaran Government has allowed us to secure many valuable Government contracts, and our market share continues to grown with EAC subsidiaries, franchises and client companies springing up across the nation.

In addition to our glowing success in Ankara, success a little closer to home is expected to come to fruition in the next few weeks, as EAC announces today that the process of applying for floatation on the ISE have begun today. Should this application be successful, it will coincide with a joint meeting with the Ankaran Government to be attended by both EAC and Foreign Office officials to discuss future contracts and opportunities for Praetonian companies, of which the foremost is EAC. The possibility of building a small naval station in Ankara to support the Ankaran Navy in anti-piracy operations against Company trade vessels will be discussed and homefully agreed upon.

All investors have our warmest thanks and best wishes, and we expect that you will be receiving a more tangible reward in terms of EAC shares considerably more valuable than your current EAC Investment Share Certificates which also carry a substantial dividend. With our imminent floatation, growing reputation with the Praetonian and Ankaran Government and rapidly expanding business interests, I am sure that a bright future awaits Praetonians in Ankara.

Yours Sincerely,

Carillus Minus,
Director General of the East Ankara Company
