International food bank

I have noticed a frightening number of nations in nead, and last night, I thought of how I could help. I came up with many ideas, but the one that I believe to be the best, was an international food bank. I believe that the world is rich enough to spare a few hundred pounds of food for those nations that can't. I encourage all of you to donate, or If you are in need, to take all that you need. I personally am donating 1 million pounds of freeze-dried meals.

For every million pounds of food you donate, I will give you a harrier.

I would like to know what other material your nation could give in exchange of food, since the Harrier fighter is not exactly what we need right now (bombers, tanks and ground to air weapons would be apreciated).

Well, we don't really need any military, but sure, i'll take some Harriers. Blargistania will donate 6 million pounds of food.

1.2 million freeze dried meals
600,000 MRE's (there is a difference)
2.1 Million pounds of canned food

plus, other non-perishable items and life necessities.

Nations in need, eh? Maybe I could make myself look at least slightly good in the international community (like that would ever happen no matter how much food I donate). Consider...

2 million MRE's

...sent.

You have Sapheria's full support, we will donate 400,000 pounds of assorted canned foods, and help in any way possible.

We will donate forty million pounds of various foods - from organic vegetables to inspected and approved meat, to seafood delicacies, as well as 2 million MRE's, in order to help the nations in need.

The Zoogie People will care for those that are shockingly unprovided for. The food will be donated over the period of two years. We ask for nothing in return.

The Kingdom of Crookfur expends large amounts every year in UN organised aid missions and appeals.

But to help those unfortunate souls whose incompetant and/or immoral governments refuse to accept the fact that the UN isn't some huge big scary monster out to swallow them we will pledge the following.


The use of climate controlled storage space, runway access and docking facilities on Fraser's Island as a distribution centre.

The use of 2 bulk cargo vessels and 1 container ship (crews still to be supplied and feul/maintainance costs met).

The use of 1 AN225 and 2 C-130J transport planes (same terms as above)

And finally a total of 50,000 tons of basic food supplies (rice, wheat, sugar, salt, cerals etc and emergency ration packs).

OOC: well soemone actually needs to think of the logistics of getting stuff out there...

My peoples are very pleased at the outpouring of help you all have given.

The police have stated their gratitude of your generosity that they can now work with full stomachs and that we as a whole can give the needy a slice of bread every two days for a nominal fee....

We seem to have a surplus of food now that shall remain stockpiled until such a time as it is needed for emergencies, at which time it will be given out for a small to medium fee, Or free if you work for one of our Fortune 500 companies.
