In the name of President Cannon, the Department of Interior is authorizing a bidding for the resulting product of our newest uranium mine located deep in the heart of the Cannon National Rain Forest Preserve.

Prospecting company Nukes4U has uncovered a large uranium deposit in Nedlog's south-west.

...

"There's no need for an either-or decision," says the government's Minister for Mining, Clear-Felling, and the Environment. "We can preserve most of the rainforest and allow mining of a small part. After all, think of all the good that the money from this uranium deposit can bring to Nedlog.

"President Cannon? ... Umm President Cannon, sir? ...

... Umm President Cannon, sir?"

"Yes what do you want?"

"Sir, we would like clarification on Minister Clear-Fellings' statement concerning a new uranium mine."

"Oh yes, I am in full agreement with all of my Ministers. With all the noob countries continually forming trying to develop WMDs within the first week of creation :roll:, I figured WTF I might as well get cut in on a piece of the actions as far as wholesale supply is concerned. It's not like any of the noobs could actually find Nedlog on a globe or anything. After all there are what...? Something like 50 billion countries or somesuch currently in the world. What's the chances that something like this could ever come and bite us on the arse? Hmmm?

"Now go away. I have to retrieve my corpse on DiabloII... Shoo shoo now go away."

The Government of Nedlog has opened bidding for uranium production. All bids will be placed on a dart board on or about January 1, 2004, when President Cannon will, while blindfolded, determine the willing bid(s) based upon the final destination of the dart.
