OOC: Even with a sale I still can't get people to shop at my store? If it's the concern of registering with the International Mall than you don't have to do that; just post your order here!

OOC: On a totally unrelated note, I noticed you're from Madison. I was just there last Sunday at Apocalypse Paintball. I live in Racine, and it's good to see some Wisconsinites on NS!

OOC: What I would give to play some paintball right about now; it seems like at least half a year since I last played but it's only been about three weeks.

Currently, I'm up further north in a little town called Waupaca until the middle of August doing odd jobs to scrape up some money for the summer. It's not much, but at least it keeps me occupied (and well supplied between battles).

Your merchandise looks interesting, and Union of Socialist States of Rubberduckistan is interested of buying right to produce said products. Except raw materials, which we would like to buy annually from you. Especially computer technology interests us, since we are designing new artillery control system, and are looking good computers to use. Our satellite state of Raving Duck does produce the computers and information technology, but we would like to expand our commercial reach, maybe as subcontractor for you? In exchange we could sell you oil.

Premiere Rubberduck of Duckche-Party

Before we can honor your purchase we are curious as to what exactly would you like to purchase from Designwerks. Are you requesting to purchase the rights to a specific set of technologies, or are you requesting a blanket purchase of all Schultarian technology? A blanket purchase of all Schultarian technology might amount to several hundred billion dollars, so we want to make sure that you want is exactly what you get without any damage to your national budget.

As for any repayment by oil, our nation is completely independent of any petroleum based products; since we could not procure liquid fossil fuels very early in our nation's history, we've become entirely powered by Industrial Ethanol. While your gesture is noted for its generosity, we simply have no need for it in our nation's industry or domestic livelihood.

In regards to any subcontracting of our technology: Currently Designwerks is a government owned enterprise with no shortage of labor; unfortunately, we simply do not have any deficiencies in our labor pool to allow for any subcontracting at the time being. Also, since our nation has had a history of semi-protectionist labor practices, most of our more advanced employment sectors are expressly forbidden to be subcontracted unless by a nation of closely allied ties.

A BUMP for the Morning's customers.

Check your order form, comrade.

Blanket purchase might be in order, because you have so much stuff to sell. Satellite state Raving Duck´s economy is Powerhouse, so we will tap into their budget since it´s defense is handled by Rubberduckistani People´s Liberation Army, so money is not problem. Rubberduckistani Space Program really needs computers and modern production plants, plus their energy production. We are planning to launch our first LEO Research Lab in 5 NS years.

OOC: Just attempting to clarify on your order Rubberduckistan...
Neo-Soviet Russia, your order has been cleared and invoice has been noted.

IC

Before we can complete your order, one question remains. Are you purchasing individual products or production rights? Once this is cleared, we can begin our pricing and establish our final invoice to your nation; also, we have performed a thorough economic check on your nation and everything seems to be in order for the purchases we think that you have in mind.

Wishing you a good day,
Central Director Elliot Schultz

A BUMP for the Night's customers.

SP. The production rights would be better, so I could turn out as many as I need, plus modify them accordingly. If the combined economic power of Rubberduckistan and Raving Duck is not enough to buy them at once (I´ll put 5% of national budgets to this project), I´ll buy the rights in 10 years period.

Premiere Rubberduck

To the Nation of Rubberduckistan


Thank you for purchasing from Designwerks in our time of economic crisis; without your support, many of us in Schultaria Prime feared that we would have to close down this store for good. We hope that you find our technology to be of the absolute highest standards compared to any other international firm, and that the Schultarian pursuit of innovation is embodied in each and every one of our products. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at any time. We always strive to meet the demands of our consumers.

While we have decided to grant you the bulk of Schultaria Prime's technological base, there were several technologies that our nation has deemed either too sensitive to sell at the present moment or is currently unable to generate a reasonable price for sale. The technologies Designwerks will not include in this package are as follows:

+All Designs From the Designwerks Connexion
+All Schultarian Delivery Rockets (Please contact us if you wish to purchase these technologies on a per design basis; Designwerks is still hammering out the costs of research for each device).
+Kamor-IBBEM Kinetic Anti-Missile Satellite
+DALIER Class Supercomputer (Most of the Quantum Computing and Data Storage Technology is still highly classified and only available to high level computer researchers within Schultaria Prime).
+DIMMAR Binary to DNA Transfer Service
+Mark VII Haarvekord Nuclear Reactor Core

The Pricing for each device was calculated by the following method.

-(Designwerks Advanced Research Supplies / Designwerks Component Design) = [Price Per Unit] * 10,000
-Designwerks: Interkosmos = [Price Per Unit] * 100 (NO UPGRADES INCLUDED, ONLY BASE PACKAGES PER SATELLITE)
-Designwerks Manufacturing Industries = [Price Per Unit] * 50

The details of each of the technologies listed shall come via a ROTOVO archive free of charge. If you choose, Schultarian contractors will help train your workforce in our manufacturing and computational equipment at no additional cost. Also, since you are the second of five purchasers under our Remodeling Sale, a discount of 10% will be accounted to your bill.

Your total cost (10% Remodeling Sale Discount Included): $177,786,000,000

Thank you once again for choosing Designwerks,

Union of Socialist States of Rubberduckistan thanks Schultaria Prime for its products. Order will paid in 5 year period, when our technicians will be trained by your expert. Hopefully you accept cash? *cameran pans to gigantic Antonov, where heavily armed guards oversee hauling of gold bullions to plane*

Sincerely

We thank you for your payment option; by our estimation at $392 Dollars Per Troy Ounce and a standard gold bar at the present weight of 55 pounds, Schultaria Prime shall expect the delivery of 515,381 and one half bars over the next five years. As always, you have our thanks for this order, and if you still wish to discuss the possibility of acquiring any of our launch vehicle technologies, please contact us if you so feel the need.

Before we can come to an agreement, we would like to know exactly how much grain (weight amount) and cattle (fair market value) you will exchange with our nation on a per annum basis. We will be able to then associate how much steel you will be able to afford from Designwerks, and then negotiate accordingly. Hopefully, our two nations can come to a fair and reasonable compromise on this exchange which will allow for increased trade between our two nations in the near future.

Please contact us with your initial offer, and we will decide how to negotiate our terms. Since some of this technology is still very closely guarded, our nation is curious as to how much value you place it at. We hope to hear from you soon.

Sephrioth...

As mentioned in countless other posts regarding your usage of the English language:

I implore you to utilize a semblance of proper grammar and punctuation in your writing.

If anything, your posts hurt my eyes as I try to read them. It makes me very frustrated (as the son of an English teacher) to see such terrible usage of the very language used by this forum.

The reason I created this new thread was to start with fresh creditability. Whenever you posted, I tried to give you pointers but I feel that I lost more international business every time I tried to help you. Because you frequented my storefront so much before the move to Jolt, I pretty much surmised that I would have to start anew as soon as possible.

Also, since you have been branded the single largest godmodder in NationStates by nearly every user with over 1,000 posts, I am compelled to make the following statement.

I HAVE NO QUALMS PERMANENTLY IGNORING YOU FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE.

Thank you, and please try to work on your grammar and role playing skills. This order has been ignored.

If you want help, I suggest reading a nice science fiction novel. Try the novel Dune by Frank Herbert as a starter to help you develop a storytelling voice all your own.

ooc: Heh, woah, someone's fed up with Sephrioth.

OOC: If you backtrack in my posts and find my previous storefront, all you will find are pages and pages of nothing but Sephrioth orders for absolutely preposterous amounts or types of items. Many of them were insane if you think about them in the real world sense, and plenty of others were simple copy and paste jobs with no forethought behind them.

I don't mind that some people simply request the technology for purchase, but Sephrioth clung on to my earlier storefront thread. Despite my subtle pleas for him to actively try reform, I feel that I'm obligated to use a more blunt approach to get my message across.

Designwerks thanks you for this rather extensive purchase of technology. We believe that your nation is trustworthy to purchase this without the fear either abusing its production rights or utilizing it for offensive military means. Thank you once again for the chance to help revolutionize your nation's technological base through the proliferation of Schultarian products.

If you require any assistance beyond this current product line, Designwerks: Projektum would be more than willing to assist you in any means possible.

For public accounting purposes, the final sum for these technologies is disclosed at $1,500,000,000,000 to be paid over a 10 to 15 year period in both hard currency and 50% partnership in Rubberduckistan's Daedalus II Orbital Factory project.

Greetings, Central Director Elliot Schultz.

I am grateful for any assistance provided by Schultaria Prime. We shall repay your kindness someday, somehow.

Your suggestion of atriums has been studied and debated within my government. We have decided that this is a worthwhile investment, mainly because we have long term plans for city expansion. Our five metropolitan cities of Lorn, Vau, Lodis, Kalista, and Medina comprise over half of our population within the cities themselves and their suburbs. The rest of our population reside in towns and villages across Sharina.

Our plans for the atriums would be the following:

1. Peaceful parks and recreation areas.
2. Libraries and museums so our knowledge and artifacts won't be lost in an invasion.
3. Shelter for our population (build it under the "pleasure" atriums)
4. Storage of emergency provisions.
5. Provide underground living space.

Lorn is the largest and oldest city in Sharina, with 2 million people. Kalista is the second largest, standing at 1.2 million. The other three major cities have approximately 600,000 people each, give or take several thousand people.

Lorn and Kalista are located next to rivers, while Vau is a coastal city sitting among the Bay of Secundis. Lodis, our second oldest city is situated in the mountains, the origin of our ancestors. Medina is located in a plain, near several oil fields.

There is still a lot of unsettled land in Sharina, so we have plenty of room to grow in the future.

We are looking into using and developing extensive railroads to efficiently haul quanities of material, goods, and people around. We don't have any major airports, and we might consider constructing a highway.



For defensive structures, we would like to discuss with Schultaria Prime and Designwerks potential development of the following areas:

1. Near Lodis located in our Grebev Mountains
2. The Karanos Plains where the oil city of Medina is located
3. Sites / regions around our two riverside cities of Lorn and Kalista,
4. The hills and the large bay where our coastal city of Vau is situated.

*5. Options to expand our defenses in the future as we grow larger.


We would also be interested in developing a mobile and flexible defense as you suggested.

Also, shall we telegram you regarding working out a trade treaty, friendship treaty, and / or future alliance in the TAPRES?


I am eternally grateful once again for Schultaria Prime and Designwerk's offers to aid our growing nation.


Live well,
President Rand Veristek

I have yet to hear any reply from Schultaria Prime regarding my development requests. I posted my request in this thread a few posts above, and in Schultaria Prime's Designwerk forums.

My population is "Profile population + 3 million". The 3 million are the refugees from the war in Hataria Mammalia.

We will be more than ready to grant you a contract of 10 billion barrels of Industrial Ethanol per annum in contracts extending up to 10 years. Our nation hopes that this first contract helps you to achieve a certain amount of energy independence from constantly dwindling petroleum supplies, and we wish you the best of luck in its usage. If the containers of Industrial Ethanol are kept properly sealed and relatively free of corrosion, the expected storage life should be roughly 30 years for emergency purposes.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at any time. We always strive to meet the demands of our consumers.

President Rand Veristek

To the Nation of Sharina


Our researchers at Designwerks will attempt to answer any questions you have regarding our newest product. No matter how generalized or detailed, Schultaria Prime will always have time to answer your queries. We hope that you find this facility to be something worthwhile for your nation's future in addition to the other projects we have yet to finalize between our nations.

As of now, Schultaria Prime is currently utilizing the concepts of Plasma Physics in developing increasingly advanced propulsion devices for our nation's growing space administration. However, given our scientists' capacities for creativity and willingness to explore ideas beyond the scope of their set research projects, there might be the possibility of a power generation breakthrough. Of course, since we are not actively funding any initiatives on Haarvekord's more advanced power generation devices, our nation will consider exploring those avenues as well in the near future.

Hoping to hear from your nation soon,

Also, we send you your 1.5 trillion$ royalties from Daedalus II Orbital Factory.
Our synthetics research have met great success, in producing lighter fabrics

OOC: For clarification, are you requesting the supercomputer center that our nation has recently built (i.e. http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=353915) or are you requesting our newest archive technology? Just so you know, the supercomputer that has recently been produced is not an individual machine, but even that amount of knowledge is still classified IC'ly. The supercomputer might not be declassified for sale for several decades (if this is what you are asking to purchase instead of the NEXCRA).

I will RP the appropriate response once I know your intent.

IC:

To the Nation of Rubberduckistan


Designwerks shall await your full order in regards to the procurement of multiple NEXCRA archive units; if you are asking for the three of these devices, (as per your first order) than we shall process the paperwork and issue an invoice for immediate confirmation. You will find these data devices to be quite impressive; the security of storing 15,000 years of human civilization in the space of a sugar cube should be put to good use with your scientists.

Unfortunately, the National Assembly of Schultaria has not been so forthcoming in releasing any specification of our newest supercomputer complex, but they do offer a compromise. Designwerks will assist your nation in developing a supercomputer center custom tailored to your needs. From the limited data that has been released to Designwerks it appears that the technical specifications of our nation's newest procurement will not be fully declassified for some 30 years; nonetheless, your nation has always had very amiable relations with Schultaria Prime and we feel obligated to help you in any way possible.

Please contact us to discuss your expectations for this supercomputing system and to confirm your current order.

Eagerly awaiting your reply,
-Central Director Elliot Schultz

OOC:

Thanks, Schultaria. I just posted in the new Eldaimovey thread. Sorry about the delay.

To Schultaria Prime, from Rubberduckistan Science Academy.

We accept the kind offer, and create the joint-research team to design
the computersystem needed in Mt. Kurmootespakka facility. Your scientists
will be granted A1xx Security Clearance, so they can access all the needed information.

For those who are interested in the future of Designwerks' product line, we present this update!

From the "Up and Coming Projects" thread at our International Mall Store:


Project "Cognita Sizlensia"

As the Schultaria Prime's quest for knowledge expands to beyond the reaches of the protective comforts of Earth, our researchers have been perplexed with the harsh environment of hard vacuum. After years of exhaustive study and research, computer designers from the University of Schultaria Prime: Colloi determined that critical improvements must be made in processor architecture to maintain a competitive computational edge in future manned and unmanned expeditions. However, they also came to the conclusion that Schultaria Prime's current series of quantum (QBIT) processors are simply too delicate to be of any immediate use.

Undeterred, Designwerks has explored the possibilities of developing a three dimensional silicon doping process than can create more advanced and heartier central processing units. While most ordinary central processing units are merely one level of micro-transistors and electronic gates, this project seeks to take individual processor chips and "stack" them. With a minor increase in thickness, a normal electronic processor can effectively quadruple its processing potential while having the same penchant for high reliability.

This project, expected to cost roughly 8 billion dollars, is anticipated to take approximately 10 years of dedicated research.

-----

Project "Meipapem Colmba"

In Schultaria Prime, an initiative was proposed to create a lighter alternative to the normally heavy and bulky visual displays currently associated with computers today. From a mandate by the National Assembly of Schultaria Prime, Designwerks was charged with the task of creating a "visual display apparatus whose dimensions must not exceed 5 mm in depth and contain the vibrancy and clarity of modern CRT and LCD displays." After four years of development, the first viable prototypes of what has been called "E Paper" have taken the research community of Schultaria Prime by storm.

Though twice as thick as an ordinary sheet of paper, this project has already exceeded the specifications of the government's mandate in terms of clarity and thickness. However, Designwerks has set new goals to make this project the greatest invention since the invention of the writing slate. Utilizing charged biochemical photoreceptors in a matrix of small capsules called "ball pixels", this electronic paper can create an image with clarity of 2,500 individual points of color per square centimeter, but the rate of image refreshment is still very slow. Designwerks hopes that, by the end of this current research cycle, this "electronic" paper will not only replace all visual display devices in Schultaria Prime, but serve as a means of preserving fragile paper medium in a viable, and tactile, electronic form.

This project, expected to cost roughly 750 million dollars, is anticipated to take and additional 2 years of dedicated research for worldwide viability.

To quote specific pricing, we would like to know the following specifics about the area in which you will require this hydroelectric power facility. Since the cost of the facility is dependent on the amount of power that this dam is capable of generating, and varies depending on the waterfront, Designwerks would like to know the answers of the following questions...

+ How much power will this facility generate on an average basis? (In a derivation of Watts)

+ What are the major features of the waterway that could prove to be costly to constructing a hydroelectric facility?

Your responses will help us to better tailor a hydroelectric project better suited to your nation's unique circumstances. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Designwerks is pleased to introduce a new launch vehicle designed specifically for items too large to be carried by conventional devices: The Eaolenketsan!

If you have never visited Designwerks, perhaps you should take a look today!

Schultaria, I hate to ask, considering how busy you are, but...

Any ETA on my requests for your factories like titanium, ethanol, steel, etc. and a couple other things that we discussed about?

I am aware you're quite busy lately, but I was wondering if I should drop the request or wait a few more weeks? Or should you provide the blueprints then I can try to build these factories and projects on my own?

Thank you very much for you response, we have already identified one such potential location to be converted into a dam.

The amount of power that is needed to be generated is: 2,500 KiloWatts

The waterway is surrounded by mountains on all sides and the only way out of the mountain is through one valley in the mountain. Its much like the RL Hoover Dam.


Thank You.

OOC: Now that I'm back, I should be able to respond to your queries within a few days Sharina. Schultaria Prime will help construct these facilities in addition to providing you the necessary schematics to develop your own expandable industrial base.

I will have your requests completed before Friday, mainly because I will be traveling homeward for the weekend so I wish to tie up any loose ends prior to then.

IC:

Thank you for your quick response to our queries, your information provides us with a better image of the situations our engineers will have to face. Since the power facility will be placed in a mountainous region, Designwerks researchers have estimated the following: in order to compensate for the traversing of rougher terrain and creating diversion channels in geologically difficult mountain regions, a cost of roughly $2,150 per kilowatt would be adequate to construct this facility.

Total construction time of this project should take no more than 4 NS years and will have an operational life of about 60 years thereafter. We thank you for your continued support with Designwerks, and hope for your nation's success in the future.

Your total cost: $5,375,000

A Personal Message from Central Director Elliot Schultz


"Unfortunately, due to the present hostilities between your nation and Dumpsterdam, we in the government of Schultaria Prime are presently wary of establishing such a long term project of this magnitude. The State Industries of Schultaria Prime does not want to divert funds that would be necessary for your nation's civil services into a potentially costly and very liable project such as a large fission reactor complex.

Our financial advisors have estimated the cost of this project would amount to roughly some 25% of your national income. Given that your nation is currently in an unstable economic and political situation, we in Schultaria Prime do not want to bankrupt your government or give any hostile forces a potential target of interest in the immediate future. However, once the more active elements of your nation's Civil War have finally subsided, Designwerks will be willing to assist you in helping to reinforce your civilian infrastructure."

A BUMP for the Evening's Customers.

Greetings from the Technocracy of Sharina.

We have been wondering if we could purchase several dozen titanium, steel, aluminum, ethanol, and waste diposal plants?

We have determined that we need titanium for our Space Program, steel for building more cities and railroads, and waste diposal plants to keep our waste to a minimum. In addition, we are in need of a boost in aluminum production capacity to produce metallic components for exploration and construction. We also need ethanol for machinery and research purposes.

Perhaps we could figure out a way to put these black silica glass to some use. We want to look for 100% usability and recycle any waste material, so there will be no waste of material. This way, we won't need expensive landfills and such, and thus conserve thousands of acres of land.

We would also like plans for these buildings so we can produce additional structures as our population and nation grows.

We are in dire need of help in our water treatment sector. It is 30 to 50 years behind most other nations, and we need some way of treating waste and sewage efficiently. We would like to have a system which seperates the liquids from solid wastes, then purify dirty water, urine, and other liquids back into drinkable water. The solid wastes should be made useful, such as fertilizer or transformed into clay or brick type of material. Would any of that be possible?

We eagerly await your reply and proposals.


Live well,
President Rand Veristek

Major Hostilities between the Republic Of Endenia and the Nation of Dumpsterdam have ended. We would now like to commission your corporation to design a Nuclear Fission or Fusion plant that will provide at least 3/4 of the previous power stated.

In order to gauge your specific national needs, The State Industries of Schultaria Prime would like to know what the current demand for each of these materials. Our nation has already established a baseline per capita consumption ratio for Aluminum, Steel, Titanium, Ethanol, and waste production, but we would prefer to know how many citizens will our facilities will be required to effectively service. This way, our services will provide a necessary buffer for your nation in to prepare the establishment of your own indigenous industrial capacity.

On a related note, we have concluded that the production rights to each of our industrial facilities would be set at a base price of fifty times the cost of each unit. This is based on previous contracts with other nations who have desired to purchase our technology; however, as with most Designwerks transactions, is completely open to further negotiation. We will await your reply on this matter.

Also, Schultaria Prime has found several uses for the silicate remnants from our Plasma Induction facilities. The glass remnants, being completely inert, can easily be converted into industrial ceramics and suitable building components. Quite a few of the silicate ceramic alloy's properties also make it extremely useful in developing cost effective heat shielding for spacecraft as well as ablative armor for more "defensive" structures and items. Of course, we are just beginning to explore the potential uses for this material.

In regards to your waste treatment proposal: Our engineers are currently working on a solution to enhance your waste treatment facilities through a multi-faceted chemical and bio-technological approach will enhance both treatment output as well as water quality for your nation's environment. Development of this technology for export is currently nearing completion, and we thank you for your patience in the matter.

We are strongly interested in beginning our own Space Program, with the long term goal of establishing an International Space Station orbiting Earth. Please advise us where to begin.

Thank You.

To the Nation of Endenia


In order to best suit your needs, we have determined that the best course of action would be to implement two multi-core nuclear fission facilities. The will be placed approximately 50 to 75 kilometers from any dense population centers to best minimize any dangerous effects should a catastrophic accident propagate. As for fusion based technology, our engineers are still in the process of developing a reasonable reactor design based on our current research reactors; the development process is expected to take at least another five years to come to a feasible conclusion.

Each of these facilities will hold three Mark VII Haarvekord Nuclear Reactor Cores and are capable of producing an average collective power output of 1.575 Gigawatts. In order to anticipate for future needs, each facility would be capable of containing and managing 5 reactors of the same dimensions as the Mark VII. All facilities will be made with the utmost care and forethought and your engineers shall be trained at the University of Schultaria Prime - Schultaria Prime in the peculiarities of the Haarvekord design.

Since Designwerks will try to revitalize your economy by utilizing local materials and labor wherever possible; therefore, those costs will not be factored into the additional cost of the facilities. However, due to our safety concerns with nuclear fission, contractors from Designwerks will specifically construct the protective core assemblies to your specifications. The additional cost per core will be approximately $475,000,000 in order to build the additional assemblies.

The Final Totals for each Facility are as Follows:

Reactor Complex 1: 3 Reactors (2 Vacant): 1.575 Megawatts | $3,750,000,000
Reactor Complex 2: 3 Reactors (2 Vacant): 1.575 Megawatts | $3,750,000,000

-Grand Total

Reactor Costs (6 Mark VII Haarvekord Nuclear Reactor Cores): $7,500,000,000
Facility Costs (Reactor Shielding for 6 Nuclear Fission Cores): $2,850,000,000
Total Cost: $10,350,000,000

If you find these numbers to be unacceptable in any fashion, please contact us. We are very open to negotiation on these terms,

Greetings, friend Elliot Schultz.

We would like to inquire into purchasing the plans for each type of industrial plant that you have. We are prepared to pay $1 trillion for a package deal as our nation is rapidly growing and it looks more likely that by the time we construct our initial order of factories, we would need double that number.

We are willing to donate funds for research regarding the black silica byproducts from the plasma waste plants.

We appreciate your nation devoting time and resources into researching an excellent sewage and water treatment system for us. We are willing to supply you with money or compensation.

We are also prepared to grant a $200 billion gift to Designwerks for their excellent quality products and our beneficial cooperation over the past few years.

We eagerly awaiut your response.

===========================
OOC:

I'm not sure how many tons of steel, aluminum, titanium, etc. are produced annually by the United States. Sharina would require double the production of the United States (as by the time we figure all this out, Sharina would likely have 350 - 400 million population by then).

Sharina has nearly 10 trillion GDP, superb civil rights, powerhouse economy, and excellent political freedoms.

If you have any good suggestions I'm game. I was wondering if there's a good "base-line" such as 1 steel factory for every 1 million citizens, 1 titanium factory for every 2 million citizens, 1 ethanol factory for every 500,000 citizens, etc.

At any rate I appreciate you taking your time to help me out with infrastructure and industry stuff. :)

OOC:

From the information I was able to garner, I have a moderately accurate representation of US per capita consumption. Of course, depending on your nation's industrial techniques and dependencies, the numbers can be "massaged" to better suit your requirements.

However, I will be away this weekend with limited internet. Expect service to continue either late Sunday or Monday evening.

IC:

To the Nation of Sharina


Thank you for the information that you have provided us; with your nation's economic data, Designwerks has developed a comprehensive estimate that we think will help to boost industrial capacity to unparalleled success. We hope that you find our plan to be reasonable to your nation's current material consumption, and that it should cost slightly less than the $1,000,000,000,000 proposed by your government authorities once your discount has been factored in.

Based from other global manufacturing and industrial powers, Designwerks has concluded the following per capita consumption ratios are acceptable to sustain a rapidly growing, technologically modern, society.

+Steel - Annual consumption: .41 Metric Tons
+Aluminum - Annual consumption: .04 Metric Tons
+Titanium - Annual Consumption: .0055 Metric Tons
+Ethanol - Annual Consumption: 35 Barrels

To compensate for the amount of time it will take to manufacture these facilities, The State Industries of Schultaria Prime would like to include a 40% overbuild into your nation's current requirements. Therefore, your nation will be able to help adjust for the demands of a construction hungry populace of up to 425 million residents without any major supply shortages, giving your industries plenty of time to build more facilities based off our designs.

The totals to maintain your nation are as follows (based off current projections, rounded up):

Industrial Ethanol Production: [298 * $175,000,000] = $52,150,000,000
Bulk Aluminum Refining Production: [486 * $500,000,000] = $243,000,000,000
Bulk Steel Manufacturing Production: [872 * $625,000,000] = $545,000,000,000
Titanium Production: [234 * $800,000,000] = $187,200,000,000
Waste Disposal: [284 * $25,000,000] = $7,100,000,000

And, since you are a country under good standing with the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime, we shall tender a 15% discount to this purchase and offer you the production rights at no extra cost. The total construction time for all of these facilities is anticipated to take 24 years by our best estimates. We thank you for your continued support with Designwerks, and hope for your nation's success in the future.

Grand Total (With 15% Discount and No-Charge Production Rights): $879,282,500,000

Thank you once again for choosing Designwerks,

One final BUMP before I leave for the weekend.

Endenia, Designwerks will offer its advice on your space program sometime on Monday evening.

Designwerks, your aid isn't needed anymore, Dumpsterdam has assisted us in the development of the Space Program. Thank you for your kind assistance.

Greetings, Elliot Schultz.

The money of $879,282,500,000 shall be wired immediately, and I truly appreciate your generosity and graciousness between our two nations.

I will be sure to expedite visas and the paperwork to allow your fine Designwerks engineers access into Sharina. I am ordering Sharina's construction industries to prepare for construction of these new structures and factories.

I am also sending a $200 billion gift to Designwerks as I stated in our previous communication.

It is always a pleasure to hear from you, Elliot. I hope we can meet in person someday.

Schultaria Prime,

Any progress on water treatment tech and stuff for me?

OOC: I've been thinkin about buyin from you for a while, just never got around to it...
IC: the allerston lab co. itself(not affiliated with the INGC in any way) would like to purchase 50 dalier super computers and 50 nexcra data storage systems to go along with it.

The governmental department of research would like to purchase 10,000 dalier supercomputers and 5000 nexcras along with them. DOR would also like to have a complex able to house these along with the technicians needed and also enough room for medium sized nuclear reactors to power these computers and, areas for technicians families and supplies. Please note that the DOR would also like this area to be able to withstand humungous nuclear blasts and also be able to protect itself, iin other words also being able to house 1000 marines and their families. Also, please incorporate greenhouses and areas for animal grazing inside
OOC: too much to put in one post for tonight, i'll post rest tomorrow

OOC: Sorry that I haven't gotten to your project Sharina, I just want you to know that I haven't forgotten about it.
OOC: May Bad shul... I was really tired and needed to make a fast post. Basicly what I need is a giant underground complex capable of housing all of the previously stated, room for technicians/service personell (2500)and their families(10,000+total including wife and kids), room to house several hundred(900 at most) military personell and their families(3600+total military personell and their families) to safguard this complex, room to store food and water to keep all the previous staff unhungry for up to 1 year, medical facilities ready to deal with any major or minor problem, room for backup generators incase of attack, room to store enough fuel to keep these generators running for a whole year. Also, It would need an armory to hold weapons and body armour for the military staff and a back up reserve of militia men essentialy. This bunker would have to be able to withstand several nuclear direct hits, and be able to keep out enemy troops for one year. It would also need 3 entrances/exits, all with 10 safe doors(NBC Protected), getting stronger and stronger before hitting the main complex's door which would have to be the most fortified of them all. Also, auto AP gun turrets from doors 5 inward would be necessary to help stave off attacks. Hopefully you can get all that within a 500 square mile complex. Thanks,

After extensive theoretical testing and prototype design, Designwerks believes that we may have a solution to your waste treatment situation which will be highly efficient, simple to operate, and provide easy maintenance. Since all of Schultaria Prime's public utilities are highly centralized, utilizing components from our mass treatment facilities was rather difficult. In essence, this system was built from the ground up and represents a new evolution in urban ecology.

This water treatment facility incorporates commonly used techniques with the addition of several process alterations designed to minimize the impact of dangerous solvents and chemicals from discharged water supplies. Certain sequences remain largely unchanged, such as the initial filtration of the waste water through gravel and sand beds, though the process of dealing with any eventual waste products are left to more advanced biological technology. Other processes, such as the large, expansive, and smelly open waste tanks, have been replaced for more aesthetic and energy efficient purposes.

Process Diagram

Step 1: Major solid waste components are removed through automatic screening processes. All collected waste is then discharged either into tanks with extensive methanogen bacteria colonies or storage units designed for agricultural purposes depending on purpose. Roughly 95% of all household solid waste in the bacterial colonies is digested and produced into readily accessible methane gas. The remaining masses of solid waste are then discarded by means of plasma induction.

Step 2: Skimmed waste water enters natural sediment (sand / gravel) filtration system. Any minor particles that were not collected through the initial screening process are collected in this area. To prevent any potential health risks, the filtration system is heavily monitored for bacterial growth and chemical deposits. Under average conditions, this natural filter should be replaced once every year.

Step 3: The initially filtered water is then passed through an extensive hydroponics area designed to capture any loose organic chemicals not filtered by the previous two processes. Plants of limited agricultural worth would occupy this hydroponics area due to the potential dense presence of very potent and reactive non organic chemicals.

Step 4: After spending several hours in the first hydroponics area, the water undergoes a high pressure Pasteurization process. Any potential bacterial colonies remaining in the water would be exposed to high temperature steam for a period of two minutes and thirty seconds, rising the water's temperature to well past water's boiling point under normal pressure.

Step 5: Once thoroughly subjected to the high temperature treatment, the water is then introduced to another hydroponics facility for one last filtration pass. High yield agricultural products will absorb any organic components remaining from the Pasteurization process along with some of the more excessive metallic compounds.

Step 6: With the filtration passes completed, the water is then introduced to a large doubled walled clear polycarbonate dome for distillation. Utilizing solar radiation, the evaporating water ascends to the top of the dome where the double wall is open. This naturally distilled water travels within the space of the two walls along the periphery of the dome to a collection point where the water can be readily reused. In the case where factors can not effectively distill enough water for consumption, three massive artificial distillation plants will serve as a backup.

This facility, designed to operate on as little as two city blocks, is capable of serving the water needs for approximately 1,250,000 residents daily. The cost of this facility and all of its constituent parts has been set at $160,000,000 per facility; we hope that this is acceptable for your nation's requirements.

OOC: Illior and Endenia, I'll get to your projects within the week.

To the Nation of Illior


The bunkers designed for your specific project will be based on highly modified specifications initially designed for the Nation of Sdaeriji. The enclosed bunker complex will be approximately 260 meters on each side, five levels high, and secured some 300 meters under solid earth increase protection to the sensitive living quarters and underground stores. Of the total profile only a single floor with the necessary security measures will be exposed above ground covered by a protective layer of alternating reinforced concrete and titanium spacers of some 8 meters thickness.

This bunker, at 67,600 square meters per level, is perfectly capable of housing 18,000 individuals and defensive forces plus equipment and food for 370 days without additional supply. Also, this bunker is outfitted with the amenities that any normal person would require; medical facilities, recreational gymnasiums, and secure telecommunications are some of the more basic comforts already included into these designs. The total cost for each facility, including the necessary installation of high speed telecommunications, emergency power facilities, and computational equipment, is $39,000 per square meter, or $13,182,000,000 for the bunker complex.

However, since this bunker is required to endure numerous catastrophic events, not excluding full scale nuclear attacks, extra reinforcing measures will be implemented to insure maximum survivability in such unfortunate consequences. The bunker's internal shielding, normally 4 to 5 meters of Titanium and Steel Reinforced Concrete, will be increased to roughly 9 meters in areas where potential man-made deterioration (such as potential paths for "bunker busting" weapons) is more likely to strike. In addition, two Haarvekord nuclear reactors will also provide emergency power in the more than likely event of catastrophic power failure under constant assault. These additions will cost an additional $13,000 per square meter, or $4,394,000,000 for the bunker complex.

Unfortunately, since it is against the law in Schultaria Prime to produce any weapon which is not already connected to an approved defensive system, we will not be able to provide you with the necessary weapons to outfit your anti-ground warfare bunker systems. Any automated weapons platforms designed to serve as a protective defensive measure for this bunker complex will have to be purchased through another corporation. However, we will fully integrate any device you purchase from a third party buyer to insure the defensive capacity of this facility.

The total costs for this facility are as follows:

-Bunker Basic Amenities Total: ($39,000 per square meter at 67,600 * 5 Meters): $13,182,000,000
-Additional Reinforcement and Power Upgrade Total: ($13,000 per square meter at 67,600 * 5 Meters): $4,394,000,000

Grand Total for Illior Bunker Complex: $17,576,000,000

Greetings Elliot Schultz,

I am excited about your proposed waste treatment facility. It would greatly aid my nation in becoming more healthy and reduce the impact of pollutants and toxins. I would like to look into production of these facilities to meet the requirements of approximately 400 million people daily, to fully service the nation of Sharina.

I would also like to inquire into the acquistion of the plans for these plants so that I can order my engineers and construction workers to to produce more of these waste treatment plants as Sharina's population expands to 500 million, 750 million, 1 billion, and so on.

I eagerly await your response, and I truly enjoy doing business with you and Designwerks.

Live well and prosper,
President Rand Veristek

I notice that I'm pretty much the remaining "major" customer of DesignWerks. Its quite sad, actually. People are more interested in buying warfare stuff than civil and industrial infrastructure.

My Space Station is completed by now, so I was thinking of perhaps helping DesignWerks establish factories and such in space. Work has already begun on construction of my very first space-shipyard to launch my very first ships to the moon, Mars, and beyond upwards to Pluto (no FTL though).

Greetings, Elliot Schultz.

I would like to make another request of you and Designwerks. I have been seeking advanced composite materials for sea vessel hulls, as I am trying to have my scientists figure out an effective composite that would be malleable, have the same strength and toughness of steel, and weigh in at between 1/2 or 2/3 of steel.

I've been looking at Kevlar or titanium as alternative hull material for shipbuilding. I have also been exploring the possibility of meshing the two material, as titanium is lightweight yet flexible, while kevlar has outstanding durability for fiber-based material as it is tempature, shrapnel, and explosive resistant.

Do you or Designwerks have any suggestions or recommendations in composite material that would hold up under extreme stress in the oceans, such as violent hurricanes, water cyclones, tsaumis, or warfare with ordiance and such?

Any help would be invaluable, and I am willing to authorize payment if necessary to compensate you for your time and effort in research.

Live well and prosper,
President Rand Veristek

In response to your query for a suitable armor scheme to protect your naval forces, our defensive researchers have been working with armor that might fit your requirements on a smaller scale. For nearly two decades the Armored contingent of the SKC has utilized several blended Titanium / Aluminum alloys and various armor meshing schemes that have maximized the full ballistic protection of hardened steel while at about 70% the mass. However, in the case of increased protection of kinetic weaponry, our armored units utilize ceramic dispersal plates made from the wastes from our plasma induction disposal facilities.

Unfortunately, those ceramics can destroy the advantage of a lightweight armor alloy, so we recommend a blended Titanium alloy with the addition of 6 to 10 cm Kevlar shielding in areas critical to ship protection (ship magazines, communications equipment, engine facilities, etc.). This should allow you at least a 35% reduction in mass compared to current steel options and provide you with the very same protective barrier. As the armor is developed, the initial costs in refinement and smelting this blended armor compound will hover around a cost of about 5 to 10% more than current steel plating.


-SECURE TRANSMISSION: DOMMAR SALMETEX (AAUTH: CORINTH-DELTA RHO)


Our nation wonders if you would like to partake in a small research program designed to enhance optical stealth capabilities. Though the particulars are still being developed by our researchers at Eldaimovey, we have found a way to take Project "Meipapem Colmba" and develop it on a mass scale for the purpose of optical disguise. If this research proves successful, then other nations will have to resort to more technically advanced methods of detection when searching for massive surface fleets. Please contact us at your earliest possible convenience if you are interested.
