>>>Coded Message<<<
From: Asurnahbian Department of Military Funding and Acquisition
To: International Wiccans Weapons Co.

We do not normally send our invoices in code form, although, since your Storefront requires explination for the purchase, we make an exception; and respect your wishes.

Asurnahb has long been a Nation of free will, we have a rather small Military, but it is either well equipped - or in the process of being equipped. Asurnahb's National Defence Service, the equilivant of a National Gaurd, if you will, has long been searching for a light tank capable of speeds which will allow it to respond quickly to an invading force. We believe that your Nature Mk. I Light Tank, and your Nature Mk. II Medium MBT will be viable tanks.

As such, the NDS has decided to allocate some of its budget to purchase 300 Nature Mk. II Medium MBTs, as well as 500 Nature Mk. I Light Tanks.

Although we request that our order Mk. II Medium MBTs be outfitted with a 120mm Smoothbore cannon. We would be willing to pay extra for this addition.

The total shall be $1,500,000,000 this does not include the amount for the requested 120mm cannons, that is up to you to decide, and we shall pay accordingly once a quote is specified.

Department of Asurnahbian Military Funding/Acquisition,
Martin Spade

OOC: Blessed be.

From: The People's Republic of Independent Wiccans
To: Asurnahbian Department of Military Funding and Acquisition

We have discussed the details of your purchase. No additional funds shall be requested, although to fit the cannons will double the production time (to a full year). If you require any more in the future, this problem will be removed, as we will have blueprints prepared, however additional costs may be inferred. We hope this ammended order suits your needs.

OOC: Consider the 120-mm version the Nature Mk IIb. In future I will add $250,000 to the cost if anyone needs this variant, but not for this order.

OOC PS: Blessed be :)

Hi Independent Wiccans. Just wondering:

1. Do I get a discount, as I'm the only person in your region that doesn't, as yet, get a discount?
2. If I want to buy stuff off you, how do I go about it? (eg. transfering money etc)

IC: Since our nation seems to becoming frequently involved in military operations we wish to arm every civilian and military personnel with a weapon in which they will use on a daily basis for training and possible combat use.

50,000,000 Guardian Pistols $10,000,000,000

Funding for this purchase will come entirely from our Law and Order budget.

Although Takha does not fully support this action, the Ministry of International Trade has granted your request. The arms will be shipped via an escorted Galaxy transport.

IC: In our nation Military service is mandatory, it gives our civilians great respect and training on how to live life and what to do should they ever be called upon. It is also because of our military training and great funding in law and order that we have no crime. These guns will not be used to harm other civilians and will be mainly used to have fun at shooting competitions with cardboard and other non-animal targets. Every citizen ages 5 and up usually owns a gun and knows when and how to use it, so there is never any accidents.

OOC: Uh, Independent Wiccans, fairly good weapons and equipment first off...but, quite frankly, some of the prices (primarily on the ships) are WAY to low. A carrier carrying 80 fighters will cost billions of dollars (say around $4-5 billion), not $600 million. Also, while setting up your storefront and getting involved and the such is great, realistically, your way to small to be constructing so many types of military equipment, especially with only a strong economy. Realistically, building large aircraft carriers is next to impossible due to the great costs involved in research, development, and construction. You should start off by selling small arms, and maybe some light vehicles, then work your way up by adding various kinds of tanks, aircraft, smaller naval vessels, and then aircraft carriers. Of course, I'm not saying you HAVE to, but people will generally think more highly of you if you do everything more realistically, as a 16 million person nation won't realistically be building all these things.

OOC: I've seen april nations selling aircraft carriers for about $500 million, i don't think it's that harsh. I mean, a standard refit is around, what, £300 million for a typical AC? With an AC, that's a near total redesign. Also note the lack of anti-submarine + anti-air and the fact that no modern Aircraft Carrier holds under about 70 aircraft anymore..

Also, for the 500th time, I KNOW HOW TO ROLEPLAY. I've been playing for well over a year, I know what I'm doing. Read my sig.

Sorry this is so harsh but I'm getting a little sick of it, no-one would give me this hastle if I still played Coldorra. :headbang:

"Of course, I'm not saying you HAVE to, but people will generally think more highly of you if you do everything more realistically"

Having a storefront for a nation is unrealistic. Having the 25% military budgets most nations seem to have is unrealistic (mine is 0.5%). Having a UN that no-one listens to is unrealistic. Having no set way of fighting a battle makes for things to be very unrealistic. The lack of paying for every piece of ammo is unrealistic (I just buy a huge bulk and presume it's enough for one battle) NationStates, to me, isn't about realism.. it's about fun roleplaying.

I do it for the roleplaying mostly... not for the realism. If you don't like it, don't buy :rolleyes:
