The Wonderful Tanagon Breadfruit

The Sovereign Nation of Tanagondaria greets the other True and Valient Nations of this Joyous and Wonderous World.

Here in Tanagondaria, under the True and Benevolent rulership of his Royal Eminence, King George I, we are pleased to annouce opening sales for our one of a kind product, the Tanagon Breadfruit.

Breadfruit is a highly nutritious and starchy melon, usually weighing between two to five pounds. As a fruit, its light yellow flesh has the starchy consistency of unripe potatoes which makes it seem more like a vegetable. As the breadfruit ripens it softens to about the consistency of a mango but without the sweetness.

The reason for the name breadfruit is that when eaten before it is ripe, breadfruit not only feels like fresh bread, but also tastes like it. Not only are breadfruit trees in the Pacific prized for their fruits but their wood is also highly valuable.

Here however, we have our own variety of Breadfruit, called the Tanagon Breadfruit, which is nearly 30% larger than the normal breadfruit, and have a shorter growing period, due to the unique soil consistantcy and specialised plant husbandry practiced by Loyal Citizens of the Island.

The wood of the tree can be used to make fine quality canoes, drums, and surfboards. The bark of the breadfruit trees were used for making tapa cloth.

Are you on an island with surfers? Do you require large amounts of food to feed your growing population of labourers? Have you need to build "traditional" canoes for tourists? Whether you are totalitarian or total capitalism, here is an opportunity for you.

The prices are negotiable at Forty cents ($0.40) USD per pound of Tanagon Breadfruit. With a minimum purchurse of 5'000 pounds.
Seventy-five Cents ($0.75) USD per thousand feet of Wood Board. With a minimum purchase of 50'000 feet
And Ten Cents($0.10) USD per ton of raw Wood Trunks. With a minimum purchase of 100 tons.

Ab-shalom and greetings;

It is our desire that 125,000 pounds of breadfruit be purchased; our freighter Castronada will be picking it up.

50,000 USD will be given upon load confirmation.

We would also like 30 tons of soil in which your breadfruit grows, for which we will pay an additional 50,000 USD.

Namaste,

To Voyate Shumash Ben Allen,
Vizier of Commerce,
Vastia.

It is with deep and sincere regret that the soil is not purchaseable under any circumstances due to the fact that it is a registered trademark. The growth procedure is under patents, and patent pending number 21223123-1 and 21223123-2.

The Castronada may dock at the eastern port town of GeorgeTown, where the Mayor and Corporate CEO will assist the ship Captain in his paperwork and goods transportation.

A clearing near the beautiful Western Palace has been cleared for the shuttle royal, and private chambers have been arranged to house his Royal Majesty and his entourage. Might we enquire into the number of accomodations required as well as any leisure activities preferred by the guests?

The Agricultural Institue Teivovo, Serevi are interested in this breadfruit. And are interested in a trial growth of the plant. We are therefore looking to purchase several plants at various stages of growth.

However we will not interfere with our islands ecology replacing native species with this variety.

Would it be possible to recieve these plants?

I'm afraid that you have misunderstood. The shuttle will only come and collect the fruit. Royla is just the shuttles name. sorry for confusion

Although if King mole does get a taste for breadfruit a royal visit shall be arranged, but strict secruity measures will be enforced. Thankyou again

Unfortunately, as per registered patents, Tanagondaria is the only place were the Tanagon Breadfruit can be grown unless we licence you as a subsidiary. You are of course, welcome to become one provided you pay the appropirate royalties for doing so. In order to maintain the strict quality of our product, you will have to prove that you are indeedd capable of producing the fruit, and can maintain or achieve current standards in a very short period of time.

Thank you and sincerely,
