Colony up for Auction!!

The Empire has decided to sell off the now-abandoned Colony of Suqusa to the highest bidder.

The colony is an island, 3620 km² in area, in the tropical belt of a large ocean, covered by a relatively dry tropical forest. It has deposits of zinc, lead, lignite, and oil shale. Imperial scientists have found the island to have good soil for farming, and an indegienous variety of wild rice.

The island was colonised by the Empire 2 years ago, but our incompatibility with the tropical climate and the hazard of typhoons lead to the eventual failure of the settlement. The location is not strategic enough for us to use it as a base, nor is the local ecosystem of any value as a nature reserve.

Let us start the bidding at US$ 1,000,000

The Most Divine and Illustrious Waldenburg Empire would like to enter a bid for 300 Million USD for the colony. It would also like to remind the Maldorians what happens when imperial glory takes the place of judgment. Your burning citizens of Cyprus will concur with that. Any battle fleet sent by the Maldorians will be turned by by the Third Imperial Deep Service Fleet. Which has been activated and directed to the area. All nations are free to bid in this, and Waldenburg shall enforce that most emphatically.

We would however be most obliged if the Maldorians were struck from the list of buyers, perhaps a sum of one Billion USD could be paid to the auction board so that the Maldorians are incapable of becoming more of a threat?

Your allies, your allies? You gibber as much falsehood and lies as your false God, your whorish prophet, your deranged sect of lunacy. Your dare trounce out that name before the face of Holy Men? Allah? A mere sigh of the desert winds, the fantasy of criminals and whores. More practically where are your allies? Has your region rushed to your defense, have they dropped their business and come to assist your nation of pompous overinflated infidels? They have not they abandon you like a sinking ship, Quadesh fled to us at the mere offer of land, and they are not the last. We must admit that they were however not the most useful allies, announcing a strike instead of performing one. We however have smarter allies, hidden ones that are prepared to strike you down at my word. We need not even mention the others that rape your colonies as we speak.

The Enlightened Empire would be curious to know about the condition of said colony as regards proper infrastructure. As it stands, we are quite reluctant to spend so much money on a mere 'island', given the payoff of the resources. Still, it would be appreciated to have a rundown of the administration of the previous tenants.


In addition, should we decide to not bid on this, we are willing to assist (for a suitable fee) in providing proper construction and administration of the island assets until the new owners should claim possession of their property. Given the resources required to start from scratch making such a large effort, it would behoove you to consider this offer.

The colony consisted of 5 settlements, 3 of which are still in perfect condition. Paved roads link to the zinc and lead mines, which remain undamaged. Power facilities were shut down for ecological purposes when the colony was abandoned, but most power lines are still intact, as are the pipelines and the groundwater-processing plant. Port facilities and the bridge linking Suqusa to the nearby guano- and phosphate-producing, and still inhabited island of Denura, were destroyed by typhoons. The settlements on the south of the island will need to be repaired as well. We will consider your offer, or refer you to the new owners of the island once they claim their territory.

"Consider the implications! The first Snefaldian Empire- a colonial power! We'd have a port in the ocean, natural resources outside of the country, and more exposure with the outside world! Think- we could establish a library, a port, ship materials in and out, colonists to live! It would be perfect. The first territory to become part of Snefaldia since 1700!"

Bel-Ha'ad Nam-aten-usur stood before the Tuhran Bel, speaking on the topic of the Kiravian island currently on bid. Many of the Bel were nodding their heads in agreement, murmuring to their colleagues. Only a few were frowning- that would be the leftists. Marco Maliuliumi, one of the most outspoke of the leftists, rose in question.

"Tell me, Ha'ad, how much would this Imperialists nonsense cost us?"

"The bidding is currently at 145 billion. a bid of 150 billion would be sufficient."

More murmurs. The leftists were turning purple with indignation. Maliumi was livid.

"150 billion what? Me-wak? You'd have us spend that much money on a tiny island? What kind of Imperialist nonsense is this?"

aten-usur shot back. "Pennies in the bucket! Consider the benefit- raw materials without the necessity of foreign middlemen, economic benefits for out citizens, new job and living opportunities! If only for half the amount of money this government wastes everyday! I can see no reason, and thus I move the question!"

The vote came down predictably; the leftists and their supporters lost and the decision was made to being bidding on the island. The Tuhran Bel had spoken, so it was going to happen one way or another.


The Centralized Mountain States of Snefaldia, by the authority of the Tuhran Bel and the Motions which govern it; do hereby bid the amount of

2.5 trillion, do I hear 3 trillion?

Colstream, I'm interested in your offer, and would gladly accept some non-financial bids, but our Colony of Eregula already produces enough uranium to fit our needs, and our other Rare Earth Metals are purchased from Alfegos.

Bah 20 billion a year plus 1 trillion down payment!

11-09-2007, 22:24
Also, it wouild take 6000 years to pay 6 trillion dollars. Would you want that or 6 trillion up front.

OOC: Apparantly I'm back.

We raise the bid to 8 trillion. With us, you would get 8 trillion today.

They offer 500 bil a year and 2 tril down. With them, it would take 10 years just to get up to 8 trillion.

OOC: I already covered that. Oh, without down payment? Then it would take about 50 years or something. Even Longer!

I keep my price, seeing that Spectare's bid just got worse.
Spectare
11-09-2007, 22:54
But see, short term you only get 8 trillion, in the long term you FOREVER keep recieving money.. That will eventually surpass the 8t and even become over 15T

Are you kidding me? You probably have 100,000 troops. I have 10 million. Beat that! And Maldorians has... a lot more.

But see after 100 years he would have made 50 trillion.. So my offer still stands.. 500 billion forever.

Lawl...

@Spec: 500 billion forever. That is such a broad thing. 500 billion per day forever? per century? Go into detail, for f***'s sake. These are 1-line posts, it shouldn't be to hard.
Spectare
11-09-2007, 23:03
Well last time I knew forever lasted for a LONNNNNNNNNNG time. Anyways, I'll make it more clear for some people.

500 billion "dollars" intil the end of time.. Once a year a secret plane will drop off the money at an undisclosed location.
Explained enough?
Maldorians
11-09-2007, 23:08
10 trillion USD now up front
Spectare
11-09-2007, 23:16
Think about it... After 200 years that is 100 trillion dollars.. That's an income! Think of the long term of your future of your people! This will forever help your people!

Given the insane amount of money being offered for little more than a typhoon-ridden island in the middle of nowehre; a colony that by the admission of the Kiravians is untenable for their own kind; we have no choice but to withdraw our offer of a joint bid and wish the winner luck when the next tsunami hits.

We would also like to congralute the Kiravians on the obscene amount of money they are going to pull in. At the current state, it's more than three times the amount of our government's budget. We are in awe of such a great PR team that would convince the Maldorians to spend an entire ten percent of their entire government budget, roughly equal to the amount of monet they spend on education, and half what they spend on defense, for such a tiny little island.

Cheers!

We appreciate your consideration. Yet, you forgot, you just counted Maldorians. The Mandalorian Empire extends to much more. We have vassal states and some of their taxes will be used to purchase this island. Had you done your research you would know. This tiny little island is going to be transformed into an important part of the Mandalorian Empire.

Yes, untenable for OUR kind. We are from a drastically cooler climate, have very pale skin, and have no use for tropical fruits in our diet.

Maldorians, your 9 trillion is acceptable.

As stated before, the Enlightened Empire is willing to assist in administering the island in absence of the new occupiers. We require an only modest fee (in view of the expenses for the island) in order to assist in the development and logistical problems.

Please refer to the current tenant for details. Thank you.

The Most Divine and Illustrious Empire of Waldenburgers will not allow, as stated, the Maldorian expansion into smaller islands. It had been proven time and time again that any conquests shall be used for more conquests. Our Imperial Second Surface Fleet (I can't remember which one is attacking you homeland but I have four of them...) shall deal most harshly with those found on the island. Once conquered the island shall be sold to the next highest bidder provided they still wish it theirs, the money shall then be taken to rebuild conquered Maldorians. We are not an Empire building people but we shall also not see the small of the world trampled by those with the slightest grasp of sanity, and delusional power.
