To celbrate his rise to power, our most glorious leader, the beloved lifetime president General Salazar, has desided to build a new and magnifisent capital.
In order to get only the best to come and work for us, we are launching an internationnal contest, we invite companies and contries alike to submit their proposal. The winner will be given exclusive rights, and a building contract for the whole project.
The deadline is set to monday 26th of april 07:00 CET

Feles Industries, with support from the Praetorian government, has designed a presidential palace for your leader:

Its futuristic and imposing design signifies progress under new rule and also serves as a very impressive centre of government, a worthy testament to the power of a nation.

The building is constructed of the latest Titanium alloys making it impervious to small arms and rocket launchers.

Inside the building is fitted with systems that can keep your leader and his government alive for 2 years without external help. The building features an internal powerplant and a network of emergency tunnels running 100 feet below ground level.

It also contains state of the art communications technology and a sattelite uplink, allowing your leader to quickly communicate with anyone, anywhere in San Libertad and indeed anywhere else in the world. It features government chambers and a lavish office for the President himself, as well as incredibly views over the new city.

Feles Industries is apologises for the fact that it cannot operate on a scale large enough to construct an entire city, but it can offer the presidential palace to you for 800 - 1200 million dollars. Price is negotiable.

As much as we apreciate your design, I regret to inform thet our glorious leader has dessided he wanted the new city to be less futuristic, he had he's mind set on 19th and early 20th century style architecture.
Your project is none the less perfect for our intended science and military compound located on the Alcazar plateau. If you could lay out plans for some production plants, labs and launchsites we would be ready to negosiate a price.

The Presidential palace design could function as a lab, or a normal command centre. What sort of size launch sites and production plants do you need? Are you making something very big? Also, how many do you want?

Once we have this information we can begin planning manufacturing plants and launch sites. We suggest that they all have internal power plants. It would push up the price but would ensure that one fault would not shut down your research and manufacture capabilities.

We need a large research centre, lauch sites for satellites and other spacecraft, but allso launchsites for our planned intercontinental missiles: Estiann.
We lay an order for two satellite launch sites and 10 missilesites spread over the contry.
As for the generator we think it's an interesting idea, but we do not wish to employ nuclear power for the time being.
The plants are mostly intended for our military production so they need to be able to withstand airstrikes.

And for all others, we remind that we are still looking for plans for our capital city.

while not futuristic, this design would be a perfect presidential palace. it has 12 deluxe bathrooms, 22 standard bathrooms, and 107 Bedrooms. the entire palace will cost 396 Milion ID (Indian Dollars).

Missile Silo:

http://www.aiacolorado.org/aiac/awards/images/02_silo.jpg

The missile silo is 250ft deep (this can be extended if need be) and has several ajoining rooms for missile control and deployment, as well as for storing supplies and a barracks. It is designed to contain 2 missile technicians (who can seal their control room) and 50 soldiers for silo security.

The prodruding part of the silo is coated in RADAR and thermal paint, which absorbs almost all radar or heat waves (the silo is fairly hot when fully operational) that touch it, making the entrance practically invisible from the air when covered with camoflauge netting.

The internal power source is not nuclear, but either oil or hydrogen fuel cell (at a substatial extra cost), and contains a back-up generator. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell is almost as good as a nuclear generator but does not produce radiation and can be easily replaced.

ICBM Silo: 500,000,000
Options:
+ Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Supply + 45,000,000

Launch Pad:

The launch pad is constructed of a concrete and ceramic heat-resistant tiles. There is also a support structure constructed of titanium and steel. The whole thing is reuseable, although the ceramic titles must be replace every couple of launches. The site includes a control tower and communications / control array, to track and communicate with the space vehicle.

We can also sell you a large vehicle for transporting the space vehicle to the launch site and build a large runway for use with space-shuttle type vehicles.

Launch Pad, Control Tower and Com Array: 350,000,000

Space Vehicle Transporter: 20,000,000

Large Runway, Control Tower and Com Array: 250,000,000

The reaserch labs cost 300,000,000 and follow the design for the presidential palace, except it is fitted with laboratory facilities instead of the Presidential palace facilities.

Your requirements for manufacturing facilities are hard, do you want:
a) Underground manufacturing facilities that will be very expensive but meet your requirements or:
b) Above ground facilities that wont be so expensive but cannot be made air-strike proof.
