Consortium to develop and build weapon systems

Dear fellow nations

I propose a consortium to develop and manufacture war fighting equipment.

My own nation is relatively small, so what I am looking for is 9 partners.

Basically 10 to 20 nation consortium of conservative value nations with strong or better economies, each nation will contribute 10% of the development costs for the weapon systems, and each nation will have 10 votes in the consortium for a total of 100 votes. I am looking for nations with populations of between 20 million and 50 million people.

No microchips or software override codes to allow one nation to take control of another nations weapon systems.

Each country will purchase their weapons from the consortium at cost plus 10%, and sales overseas of the weapon systems, the work will be evenly divided by 10% to each nation, and each nation will receive 10% of the profits.

I would also assume that given any conflict would be barred with a non aggression treaty as factories will be owned by each nation.

There will be non military pact save to safeguard the jointly owned facilities.

I don’t think any idiot nations who pick wars with nations on a daily basis will be invited.

Also I suggest that a boot out clause be an 8:2 or 7:3 vote by the existing partners.

Also, if you have more than one nation, please only nominate one nation to join the consortium to allow RPing to be shared around.

Any newish nations interested in building a manufacturing consortium?
