Uranium

The secretary of trade, Mr. Jack Daniels has approved free trade with other friendly nations with Uranium for currency. From past surveying, we have found mass parts of Akiremah having untapped uranium reserves!

We also hope that scientists from more developed nations can come over and help us start our own nuclear program in the future perhaps. Of course a nation needs to be very responsible, and we are very democratic, so there will be no room for carelessness down the road!

This Holy Republic salutes the U S of Akiremah and its fledgling democracy.Our beautiful nation much like your own is rich in Uranium.However at this juncture a sharing of this technology is premature.In the interest of goodwill however,we are sending to you a delegation of diplomats in hopes of opening a consulate in your capital city. We ask you do the same.In addition Brendanberia is sending our cultural minister and a high ranking member of our interior ministry to assess your mining practices and to offer assistance if needed.This,I believe is a good and responsible start to a lasting friendship between our two great nations.
Respectfully Mnsr.John Killian Moore Minister of State Brendanberia
PS.Our Prime Minister respectfully asks that your nation carefully review the sales of weapons grade Uranium to other nations ..It is Brendanberia's policy to review sales carefully and to enter non proliferation treaties with nations that we sell to...Subsudies may be available to your nation once lines of diplomacy are opened

We thank Brendanberia for their friendly approach to this issue. And to get down to the issue, the uranium shall never be sold to any nation proving to untrustworthy, and non-democratic. Before any of it is shipped out, the nation will go through an investigation period where we will go over the possible trade partner's history, and then we will come out with a final judgement.

Yes, you will be able to send diplomats to my capital city of Notingsaw to form a consulate here. And we will do the same? That will be great! And your cultural minister and other officials will be welcomed into Akiremah to discuss mining practices. We worry about the actual tools of doing this, but the personel is there to be trained.

We will also adopt your non proliferation treaty with nations that wish to buy our uranium. Akiremah will only use nuclear weapons to deter attacks from rogue nations, but the actual use of these weapons is extremely unlikely!

The government will not give mining permits for companies interested in this uranium project until after meeting with other national leaders on the issue.

The United States of Western Elizabeth is interested in purchasing your Uranium. The Uranium will be used in weapons construction, however not Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Akiremah
18-11-2004, 14:22
The United States of Akiremah will give you all the Uranium you want if you can teach us how to make these non-nuclear weapons as you were saying. Of course we won't escavate our entire country, but we will give your country a steady supply of uranium, in return, we get some free uranium based weapons, and we get production started so that we can better equip our armed forces.

What do you say?
Dumpsterdam

Dumpsterdam warns the nation of Akiremah to watch who they are trading uranium with. We don't have any problems with trading this mineral but we do advise to check backgrounds and seriously consider not selling it to rogue nations or other nations that have proven to be unstable.
Akiremah
18-11-2004, 15:17
We thank the concerns of Dumpsterdam, and we have looked into the practices of Western Elizabeth. From there we approved and processed their request to recieve uranium for currency, but we found a more suitable plan.

The Empire of Layarteb has a large sector of its power needs fulfilled by nuclear powerplants. In addition, many of our ships are powered by nuclear reactors. Uranium is low in Layarteb and we are always looking for more material elsewhere to help support our power sector. We have enough to supply us another 25 years but after that the future is uncertain. We are willing to pay $40,000 per tonne of Uranium if some would be acceptable for trade?

The President of Akiremah,

Slaytanicca uses nuclear fission for most of its power, in addition to producing nuclear weapons. We are always looking for more sources, so that less disaster will come of a problem with our own mining efforts. We have several things available for trade with your country, in addition to technology or hard currency, if you are willing. In addition we wish an exchange of embassies and possibly military bases with your country, if this is to your liking.
How could we not offer trade to someone named Mr Jack Daniels?

Sincerely,
Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

Caldaron is renowned for our Uranium power reactors, while the Soviet Nuclear Power Commission is 'anal' about sharing our designs, we could provide you with some less impressive designs. With SNCP's help you could have more energy than you ever could need.

But don't forget to beat down the environmentalists.

I do regret however not needing anymore Uranium, Caldaron was blessed with radioactive soil apparently.

Are you out there Akiremah?
Aligned Planets

In the absence of Akiremah, the Federation of Aligned Planets would also like to offer our services as a uranium supplier. With our main product currently being refined uranium, we have a surplus. We do not operate nuclear power plants, and have only a handful of nuclear powered naval vessels.

Any offers will be considered.

Very well Aligned Planets. Might I request 100,000 tons of Uranium to be delievered immediately for storage and such at a price of $40,000 per ton and a total of $4 billion?
Aligned Planets
22-11-2004, 21:09
We are currently selling uranium at $42,500 per tonne, with a total of $4,250,000,000

Is this acceptable? If so, we will ship immediately upon location information. Payment to be received upon delivery.
Layarteb
22-11-2004, 21:10
I can live with $42,500. Please ship to the following ports

Philadelphia, PA
New York, NY
Boston, MA

We will need to break them up into three shipments in order to keep it easy to transport on land, that stuff is heavy.

I now have enough Uranium to supply me until (IRL) 2.19.06!
Aligned Planets
22-11-2004, 21:17
Understood

Three shipments are being sent;
Task force Alpha AP 625 conveying 50,000 tonnes to Philadelphia, PA
Task force Alpha AP 314 conveying 25,000 tonnes to New York, NY
Task force Alpha AP 089 conveying 25,000 tonnes to Boston, MA

Each task force consists of 3 Wave Class Aligned Planets Naval Fleet Auxilary Large Tankers, with an escort of 4 Type 45 Daring Class Anti-Air Warfare Destroyers and 3 Duke Class (Type 23) Frigates.

Convoy Alpha AP 625 has 6 Wave Tankers, due to the amount of uranium.

No problem. Just FYI military ships from a foreign nation are not allowed within 20nm of my waters. We can escort your ships from there if necessary.

Aligned Planets,

We are always looking for new sources of uranium to support our own mining efforts, as we are dependent on it for most of our power. We can either set up a standing trade agreement or make a one-off bulk purchase to add to current stockpiles.
We eagerly anticipate your reply.

Gratefully,
Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

(OOC: dude, unrelated but do we still have troops in your country? Obviously not the same troops, they got the s*** kicked out of them.. [Tanthan shelling your airfield...])
Aligned Planets
23-11-2004, 00:02
OOC No - no foreign nation currently has troops within AP borders. You were all asked to leave when the Peace Treaty was signed.

IC

We would be willing to consider a trade agreement with your Nation; pricings are at $42,500 per tonne, with shipping costs of $7,500 per shipment - bringing to cost to $50,000 per tonne.

Would this be acceptable?

Please inform us of how much uranium you will require and we will try to accomodate you.
Slaytanicca

Aligned Planets,

We are pleased you have agreed to trade with us. Would it be possible to set up a standing order? Our merchant fleet is perfectly equipped to carry uranium, and we would certainly consider trading anything with you in return, including arms.
If this is to your liking, we would like to purchase 10,000 tons of uranium per annum at 420,000,000 USD per annum.

Apologies for writing of an entirely seperate issue, but we have a rather strange request to make of you. The Taltharnic shelling of your airfield is the biggest military disaster in the recent history of our nation, sort of a "Pearl Harbour" to us. As such, we would be greatly honoured if you allowed us to donate money towards its reconstruction. A great many men lost their lives there, and two infantry companies were all but anhiliated.

Thankyou, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

OOC: Oh OK. Just wondering if they weren't mooching around peacekeeping or someshit. I was busy doing RL shit when that thread got wrapped up, methinks.
Aligned Planets

Slaytanicca,

Yes, a standing order would be most acceptable. We are able to ship from the port of Calais (all other major shipping locations in France are currently being refurbished, and the South Pacific bases are not operational yet) to a location of your choice.

We could ship directly to your Nation, or meet enroute with your shipping fleet?

However, as stated in my previous message to you - pricing is at $42,500 per tonne, with a shipping charge of $7,500.

Without shipping, this brings the cost to $425,000,000 USD per annum, and with shipping to your Nation/Fleet, this brings the total cost to $500,000,000 USD per annum.

Any donations to the Aligned Planets monetry fund would be most appreciated; we are currently stretching our budget in the construction of new naval and air defences, along with new airfields and a naval base.

Aligned Planets,

Your suggestions are well received. We would be more than willing to pay your shipping cost, if you wish to ship yourself. Apologies for the mistake of five million USD in our previous communique; we will happily pay a total of four hundred and twenty five million USD per annum, plus shipping. In addition, our navy will regularly patrol these waters and keep them under constant surveilance, we hope to our mutual benefit.

We are grateful that you will accept money to help with the reconstruction of your airfield. We will wire five billion USD from our defense budget to your reconstruction fund immediately.

We thankfully have received your relief money.

Shipments of uranium are being despatched

OOC - sorry this isn't RP'd, very tired :-)
