The Formation Of OPEC

Fascist Confederacy
24-11-2004, 04:51
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries

OPEC has been formed under the sudden surge of Middle Eastern nations claimed by other nations. But, we also noticed, that there is no real organized association that will regulate, limit, or design the oil exportations. Thus, OPEC was formed. The central headquarters of this international cartel shall be Berlin, Fascist Confederacy; But every member nation of OPEC will have a local branch in their capital city in order to keep up-to-date with the crude oil news. The following is a basic vision and goal of OPEC:


Our Goals
Goal Number One: To regulate and designate reasonable oil prices for all member nations.

Goal Number Two: To locate and mine petroleum cells within the Earth.

Goal Number Three: To broaden economic and trade ties within member nations.

Goal Number Four: To keep an organized, responsable, and mature grip and gain ahead of the competition.

Our Vision
Our vision, is that one day, oil will be sold throughout the world to all nations. That they will be eager to associate and come through OPEC nations in order to gain the blood of their industry, economy, and nation period. We wish that one day, we are to become the leading petroleum company or group throughout the world.

Member Nations
Fascist Confederacy (Founder)
The Parthians (Founder)
New Zambuda
Pacitalia
FCD
Risban





We are in the process of recruiting likewise nations. We are eager and look forward to applications from any nation that wishes to broaden its petroleum industry. But, we do reserve one right: To refuse any nation (under any known or unknown reason(s)) we wish from acceptance into OPEC.

RE: OPEC
We view this new "OPEC" as an organization whose only real goal is to esablish a monopoly on oil, and as soon as it does this, mark up the prices per barrel exponetionaly. We urge all nations to refrain from joining this organization.

OOC: You've got a Code error in paragraph one

IC:
We applied you in your efforts, though, we worry, for other nations, as to if a monopoly will ensue, and the member nation of OPEC will dent fuels to nations they deem unworthy, for whatever reason.

Luckily, this wouldn’t affect us

OOC2, I suspect you'll be hearing a lot of that "This doesn’t effect me...ive got huge oil fields...blah blah..." My nation uses TDP technology to turn waste into fuel, a real, though unperfected, modern technology

Anyways, good luck with this, I hope people will respond in character, and not just pass this off as another "It doesn’t matter, im not affected" post

If that were the case...wouldn’t it see to be more beneficial to join, and save you the high pieces, and get the member discount?

Reply To Biologics:
Why would I, or my ally wish to form a monoply? If we wanted a monoply, don't you think we'd keep OPEC in secret and not invite other nations? That way we coul horde all of the profits. And secondly, I have a Powerhouse economy, and so much uranium ore and lumber in my nation, if I wanted a monoply, all I would need would be a chainsaw and a shovel. I denounce you accusations and officially recognise you as an malicious person trying to stomp out nations chances in uniting and bettering each other's economy.

OOC: Yes, I know, I fixed it. And probably alot of newbies will do that. Hopefully not though.

IC: We thank you for your support, Transnapastain. And we insure all nations, we will make shure that this association does not form a monoply.

Well I thought the REAL OPEC was supposed to be (trying to become) a monopoly so that they could control the oil prices.
I was gonna join, but if were not gonna be a monopoly whats the point ?

OOC: We are planning to form a monopoly, but we're, at this stage of formation, just trying to appeal so we can get backing. So, you can still join if you wish, since you know our agenda, partially.

OOC: If you noticed, it hints that our agenda is to become a total dominating force of the oil and natural gas industry. Kinda like, as long as we keep denying it, it will be the truth.

OOC: You're in a region that has Aligned Planets in it, meaning, you are probably Future Tech (FT). And I'm Modern tech (MT).
Risban
24-11-2004, 22:06
OOC: Hahaha. Oh, no no no. I moved to Sol Sector to increase relations with Aligned Planets. We first met when the Earth VI thing began. I had Italy and England, and he had France, so we formed an alliance and I moved to his region. I am modern tech. Should you need proof, I suppose the most active RPs I am currently taking place in are This one (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=375987) and This one (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=375800)

At this time The Phoenix Milita must withdraw from OPEC

Several things concerning some of the member nations have come to my attention, which I do not wish to discuss right now, but needless to say, they are of such a nature that they justify our withdrawl from this organization.

Dear Administrative Authorities of OPEC,

The Grand Imperial Nation of Tokarev would be more then interested in becoming a part of this organization. Our nation is heavily dependent on petroleum, as most modern industralized powers are.

Our total oil reserves amount to 659 million barrels
Our total oil production amounts to 4.8 million barrels/per day

Please note that the majority of our oil comes from rigs in the South Pacific.
