Attention good people of the World of Nation states! After years of
development, after initially purchasing Airship technology from such
wonderful nations as Tokarev and Raysia . Now we have finished the
factories to turn out mass produced goods for those nations that enjoy
plying the skies of NationStates.

Notice
For those at home with slow Internet connections, I have only one pic on
this Storefront to give all a sense of the ships. Links are provided for
those that wish to see the rest of the ships. All ships were brought from
the Website at http://melgage.noip.org. Again, these are NOT my pics, I
did not draw them, This Stoe front is also designed for those Nation that largely enjoy fantasy. Obviously none of these ships are scientifically sound, so please no nitpicking. If your a swords a sorcery Nation however,or have just Industrialized, this might be for you.

<<Pic removed for being too 'Un-Weildy'>>

For those nations with strong trade treaties to other nations,
the Crossroads Heavy Cargo ship provides an incredibly versatile solution
to reaching all of your neighbours. The ship can ply the Oceans just as
easily as it does the skies. Carrying up to 100 tons of cargo in its hold,
it can cruise at 60km in water, and 100km in the skies. The large ship even
provides for it’s own defence, reducing the need of pricy escorts.

Crossroads Inc Light Cargo ship (CS-100)

For nations that are too small, or simply do not have the need for a large
ship like the CS-150, there is the 100. This small ship carries only about
20 tons of cargo, but at a fraction of the cost. Of course such a small ship
cannot as easily sail the seas as can its larger cousins, it can fly at about
60km.

nations. Its huge form offers the ultimate as a Gunnery platform.

missile, The MS-250 allows a nation to outfit it to suit its needs. Although it

, smaller, side cannon turrets, the base model can carry 500 tons of
armaments and weaponry insides it’s heavily armoured double plated hull.
Also standard is a detachable Armour Shield. The massive shield attaches
to the front of the ship and can allow it to ram and impale smaller ships,
or be used to deflect heavy incoming fire. Although it’s weight of 100 tons
reduces its speed by about 20km.

Crossroads Inc Cruz-Mobil, Grand Royal Yacht

For those heads of state, be you a Dictator or President, any leader wishes
to travel in Style. The Crossroads Grand Royal Yacht is the ultimate
expression of wealth and power when travelling to other Nations, or even
touring your own lands. The large vessel is much more then a pleasure
craft. Its upper rooms contain a War Room, mobile command centre, and
advanced radio communications for keeping in touch with your capital.
Of course it also spares no expense in its luxury with 20 suites for
entertaining guests or diplomats. The ship is also deceptively simple.
While it may seem a easy target, it is covered with a double plated hull of
high strength alloys, and the front of the ship conceals several pop down
cannon turrets for defence. The ship can cruise at a quick 200km for
speedy trips to wherever you need to go.

Well... Its not actually my pic, But since I provide links to all of them anyways, It is easier to just remove it... In anycase, Le-Sigh, I know Airships arn't all that popular among the Bomber and Tank equiped Modernizied nations... But I figuired I'd get a couple of people interested in the novelty of them, or at least for Fantasy themed Nations.
Oh well... :?

Following TROUSRS' massacre of civilians in the Burnsian Desert, the government of the Federation of United Microstates asks that Crossroads Inc. and other nations do not engage in any commerce with TROUSRS.

t is good to see such a young nation show such an incredable interest in LTA Aviation. I am sorry to say I cannot sign off on your purchase for 50 MS-250 Battleships just yet, 50 Billion is a huge sum of money for a young nation...

to better figure out your Military budget go here and change my name to yours:
http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=Crossroads%20Inc&defenseprovided=1&defense=10&militarybudget=1

But don't loose heart, I will give you a free Royal Yacht for showing such interest, and I am sure you will soon become an Economic power as we work together
