We are open for business!

20-11-2003, 08:46
As the name of our esteemed nation implies, we have wonderful opportunities for Foreign Direct Investment. We have recently blown our economy wide open to the excesses of multinational globalization, and we hope to see every corner of our fair land plastered with foreign corporate logos.

Why invest here you ask? There are no wages too low, no workplace conditions too horrible, no rivers too polluted, and no palms too greased.
In other words, we are here for you. Build a factory on top of a forest? We'll build you a highway right to it. Dumping untreated waste? What untreated waste? All we see are more jobs, and rich foreigners.

Granted, there are still some industries closed to outside investment, such as human traficking, but our bureaucrats are now busy devising new regulations to open such markets. However, in the meantime, you can go straight to local-level governments to get your foot in the door in such cases, as they often conveniently "forget" national laws.

Hand in hand, there is no limit to what we can do for this land (or to how much money we can stuff in our pockets). Our office is now accepting bids; if you think you can make money out of it, we'll displace some locals and build it. Worrying about the costs of corruption? Don't, it's cheaper than regulation!

Please submit all bids and enquiries to:

The Rogue Nation of Low Tide wishes to know if you would object to drugs being sold to rich members of your nation (i.e. you), and opened for resale amongst the general population. You could make a damned tidy profit.

Low Tide,

We abhor such immoral talk! Our glorious nation wants to protect our people, not destroy them. How dare you question the integrity of our moral and upright leadership!

(read talk to the local officials in the border areas, they'll be more than happy to help you out. Our "Blind Eye" Council will set up the contacts for you. What prices are you looking at?)

Austar Union,

What markets are you wishing to expand? Remember, human traficking is still a protected industry, but the slimy expat market has been opened wide and is ready to take off. What do you have to offer?

FDI Opportunity,

We are pleased that your nation has opened itself up to the world like a promiscous street worker. Our CEO's brother-in-law Gary knows people in this profession well, much to our CEO's dismay, and has advised us to take advantage of your offer (though we don't want to be loved "long-time)

We require fifty square miles to construct a processing facility and shipping center. With no labour laws and loose interpretations of human rights make you the perfect trading partner.

The only thing we ask is that you don't allow another liquor distributor into your great and easy country.

To the CEO for the Council for Global Trade,

The Holy Empire of ImperlisticPrussia's Energy Department is harvesting nucular energy for a wide range of "purposes". This however spawns several "undesirable remnants" which the Department of the Interior wishes removed. Henceforth we believe that you could be of some use in this matter. In exchange for this most necessery service we will endevor to provide enriched urnium so as to assist your own energy and defence programs as you see fit. If this sounds appealing, p0lease do nmot hesitate to contact at you earliest convince.

Do not worry, you are and will remain our sole foreign liquor distributor.
We will grant you the fifty square miles for 200 million, and as a show of good will we are giving you sole rights over a nearby village of 10,000 to stock your processing/shipping facility with slave labour.

All that we ask in return is that you not electrify the fence surrounding the compound; the Slimy Expat, our national treasure, is already endangered enough as it is.

Finally, we will also offer you a free copy of "Exploitation...What Exploitation?", a locally published and world-reknowned instruction manual on how to deal with pesky press questions regarding business practices in developing countries.

Sincerely,

We need...testing grounds and several test subjects. Could you supply this?

Imperlistic Russia,

We will accept your waste products in return for some help in developing our World Peace Weapons Program. We are currently doing feasibility studies on a number of locations that could potentially serve as dumping grounds. Our educated guess, however, is that someone will be bribed, the studies will end, and you will soon be able to dump your toxic trade anywhere you please (including under children's playground, see our "Not in Your Backyard..Just Buried Under It" industry initiative)

We will also throw in a free copy of the locally published and internationally reknowned press kit titled "See No Evil", a guide to keeping your citizens in the dark about their ecological impact on other, less fortunate nations. This one has had tremendous sales in the West, we are quite proud of it.

FAO Chairman

We beleive that the "Stop the War" co-alition headquaters would be most suitable for this purpose, and shall look forward to incresing the security of our region by proliferation weapons grade urnamiun to you. For an extra 500g of usable urnium we request that they are in there when the drop is made.

Thank you for your offer of "see no evil" but this is not required. At the end of this dispatch i will attatch the reason why. I shall keep you in my diary as in these grave times of trouble like minded States are hard to find as socilism rampages through the world. I shall wire soon to tell of specific times and dates for the "products" in question
Now find inclosed my own dispatch on "Media Relations"


FAO Foreign Sectaries

The Holy Empire of ImperlisticPrussia humbly invites you to submit bids of a cash nature for the services of KMK- Kaisers Media Korpriation.

The purpose of this is to assist any non socialist Government to “educate” its people as to the ills of a socialist state. Furthermore this organisation will “establish a flexible Government posture on any issue”

Henceforth a vicious, boorish savage decimation of a rival country which involves turning it into the world’s largest nuclear waste disposal center/prison/carpark/Disneyworld becomes “Regrettable minor actions taken in the name of defence and security by defence volunteers engaging in security actions along our common boarders with our noble neibours”

Furthermore a “Brutish Dictatorship” becomes “ A Government believing in streamlining its members to facilitate better communication and action”

PS We are P for Prussia, rather than R for Russia, your error will be overlooked, but we do not think kindly to being labled communists, who are our sworn ememies

Imperlistic Prussia,

Many apologies for the mispelling of your vaunted nation's name, it is rather difficult to see the screen or the keyboard through all this smog.

Your request could not have come at a better time! We have just razed some slums near our capital to make space for the NoEthics Medical Technology Park. You have the honour of being our first tenant if you so wish.

We require a list of suitable characteristics for potential test subjects, and this will be forwarded to our intelligence services at no cost.

The most vaunted nation of ImperlisticPrussia is most thankfull for the correct use of our Esteemed name. the Grandfather of our Country looking down from the battlefield on high, General Bismark, is most proud.

In relation to our business dealings we have dispatched our shipment of "unuseful, yst envirmoment enriching" products, which we expect to be placed in our chosen location.

Underlined. Full Stop.
