Eugoria, this is what we forsee for your country. We open factories, producing various goods. Textiles, wheat refining, automobiles- These are just a few. You receive favored trade status, we open up three duty-free ports, and all is well.

We get a guaranteed 1/10 stake in all mineral resources found in the mountains, as well as a 1/10 stake in all uranium within your borders, to be bought and exported to Samtonia, and a 1/10 share in any future discoveries of the mining nature. We also get even more Samtonian factories opened!

Please reply as to status of deal, point out anything you want to haggle over.
Golencia, here's what's going to happen with you. At least 12 arms production facilities will open, each employing anywhere from 150,000 to 750,000, with room allowed for growth. We sell all production to you at 1/3 the normal price, you gain many jobs and cheap state of the art weapons.

We get a 1/5 share in all uranium in your nation and a 1/10 share in all petroleum in your nation, as well as a 1/10 share in any future discoveries of the mining nature. We also get more Samtonian factories!

The Samtonian Factories...unless they all employ Golencians we do not feel comfortable with this....Can we make the 1/5 of Uranium anywhere from 1/7 to 1/10
Samtonia
29-11-2004, 21:28
Golencia, of course only your countrymen will work in the factories! If you read our code of construction/upkeep for all factories and buildings built by us, you'll find that not only 100% of all people on the production lines will be your citizens, 58% of the transportation jobs and 20% of all management jobs will go to your citizens. Suc a great deal for your people, with jobs for all skills and trades!

And we feel that possibly going in the middle of our offers and meeting at 1/7 for the uranium is an acceptable price for you to pay.

Your response as soon as possible!

And keep the orders coming!

I like my deal, but since I have no need for any uranium at the moment, you may BUY as much of it as you like, at the current market price which I think is $47,000 per ton. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. General climate-Warm most of the year, with a cold front that moves in during late October, and leaves Early January. Very hilly, with several Cliffs as well. Sits on the edge of an ocean of the Western Seaboard Italy.
2. Minimum wage is 7.37 Kreukolians an hour, medical and dental plans. Maternity leave depends on job status, but generally 10 weeks.
3. Iron Ore, Natural Gas(Out the Yin-Yang), and Fish. Fish is almost a currency here
4. Western Seaboard of Italy (Sorry about not having a map :( )

I like my deal, but since I have no need for any uranium at the moment, you may BUY as much of it as you like, at the current market price which I think is $47,000 per ton. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
OOC-Well, from what I've found online, it's about $19 USD per pound for the best uranium. On average, around $16 USD per pound for uranium. So, doing the math, we get...$35,273.96 per metric ton of uranium. Round to neaerst dollar for import fees and we get $35,274 USD per metric ton of uranium.

IC-
Eugoria IV, we'll accept your offer to buy it, at current market prices.[OOC- See above]. Congratulations on your new trade deal! It has been a pleasure doing business. Stop back anytime! Spread the word!

Golencia, congratulations on your new trade deal! It has been a pleasure doing business. Stop back anytime! Spread the word!

30-11-2004, 02:37
Upper Xen would like to begin trade relations with Samtonia-but we are unsure about what package to choose....as we are not exactly a small nation.

Here are some details.

1. Our general land types vary widely, we have cold deserts and steppes in the North and west, temeperate grasslands in the central areas, wet, semitropical climates in the south and some mountains in our Japanese and South-Central Chinese lands, plus a very tropical, rainforesty landscape in Hawaii.

2. We have a government based pension to supplement a standard 401(k), Social Security, some tax breaks and subsidies for major industries (like defense, banking, and agriculture), legal unions (white and blue collar), relatively few antitrust laws, and a National Health Service (no HMO's), plus a minimum wage of 7.50 Xenthalers per hour (equivalent to about USD$10.95 per hour). Firing is to be done with a reason, and we allow strikers to demostrate only in designated areas (not in streets). Work hours are a 5 day workweek with 9.5-hour days.

3. Our major natural resources are:

Coal (and Lignite)
Iron Ore
Copper
Tungsten
Tin
Phosphates
Mercury
Zinc
Lead
Pork Products
Rice
Sugarcane
Farm Products
Tea

4. We are based in RL China, Japan and Hawaii (we also have a protectorate in Mexico).

We hope this will help.

Upper Xen, you’re going to be receiving the trial run of the Advanced nations Economic Package. This is designed to exponentially help the growth of both our economies. It’s going to be multiple parts, all which will certainly be effective in increasing economic output.

Step One: Lower trade barriers, as per Favored Trade, but with nation given status of Most Favored Trade. All tariffs, taxes, etc… are not to exceed 5% of the production costs of any product manufactured in either of our countries and exported.

Step Two: Begin general re-vamp of economic output system. Samtonian cash will start to flow into your Stock Exchange, to bolster your economy in the event of a market crash.

Step Three: Factory Output increases. Samtonia will go through your largest industries and find ways in which our companies can help you save money. Better line set up, newer machinery, newest trade secrets- We’ll help existing areas of your market become competitive again.

Step Four: Factory Growth. AS per economic packages, new factories and other buildings will be opened. From arms production to mining, from ports to condominium development, Samtonia Engineering will make thousands of new jobs available in your country in excellent areas of business. 35% of all building materials to be provided by you, rest of Factory deal applies as per first page.

This is just the beginning, but it seems the best way to get your economy back on the growth track again.

We want a 1/10 share in all newly discovered mineral finds, a 1/12 share in all mineral purchases now at International Standards, and a lowering of prices on all Tungsten, Mercury, and Iron Ore purchases undertaken, not to be less then 15% less then current cost.

Please reply as to status of deal.

Kreuk-Topia, we see a broad based economic turn around. With lowering of tariffs, we’re going to open at least 15 brand new production facilities in your nation, in all sectors from Automobile Production to Arms Manufacturing. We plan on opening two new ports and will probably begin a complete re-structuring of the natural gas pipelines.

This will be followed by Samtonian Gas and Mining opening up a series off natural gas recovery areas, where we’ll take the stuff and ship it back to Samtonia. Same with fish- a few fishing companies want to open up shop.

With all this flowing in and the arms your country will have obtained, you will certainly prosper. All we ask is a 1/10 share in all future mineral discoveries, a 1/12 share in your natural gas findings, and 250,000 acres of land to build the various factories and harbors on.

Please reply as to status of deal.

Ramissle, pretty much the same for you. You’ll get at least 14 factories and a few hundred mining stations, with Samtonian Gas and mining setting up shop and employing your workers but shipping back to Samtonia.

We’ll also throw in part of the Military Trade package due to your extenuating circumstances, with at least 1/3 of the production from all arms factories sold to you at exceedingly low prices.

We want a 1/6 share in all current mineral resources, a 45% reduction in any sales of said resources to Samtonia, and a 1/12 share in any future mineral discoveries.

Please reply as to status of deal.

So, with all these new applications, we once again urge all nations to apply! These trade deals are helpful for all! Tell your friends and allies! The more customers we get, the more deals we create just for YOU!

"It's a Deal. We feel that much of these provisions are fair, and reasonable. Tariffs on Samtonian goods will be reduced to 3.5% and tax breaks of up to 3.5% will be extended to Samtonian companies to meet the provisions of the deal. Our main stock exchanges are the Hang Seng Index and the Nikkei.....Samtonian companies can list their quotes on those markets. We hope this will meet our end of the bargain."

"One question on the factories.....Will they be Unionized?"

General climate: Cold. Absolutely frigid during the winter, in the summer, a "heat wave" is any time the temperature is over 55 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 3 days. It's dark all year round. In the winter, the sun doesn't rise because of how far north Callisdrun is, and in the summer, the sun is obscured by the constant thunderstorms. It's very mountainous, with fjords on the coast. Here's a map:
http://www.criesofthecarrots.com/images/dan/callisdrun.jpg

Corporate laws in existance: Very strict corporate laws. Very high minimum wage, top level executives are allowed to make no more than 15 times the income of their average employee after taxes. Heavy tarriffs are in place against all nations except ones that have been deliberate exemptions. Health care, etc. is free. Almost all workers belong to some union or another. Very few chain stores and restaurants exist.

Natural resources: Iron, lumber, fish (extremely high levels), various kinds of stone, various metals.

Dominant industries: Book publishing, Ship building, fishing, music, pornography, among others.

Approximate location of country: The far far north.

We would like Favored Trade Status, for now. Obviously, if granted, your country will be exempted from many of our tarriffs.

Ramissle, we would guess Samtonian purchases of minerals would at the very least increase expoonentially, to the power of four. You stand to gain something like 100 times the amount of money we currently pay you for minerals, so something to the tune of an extra trade surplus of 3 to 4 billion USD per year.

Kreuk-Topia, moving the amount up to 1/12 is completely acceptable. With that, it seems we have a deal. It has been a pleasure doing business with you- make sure to keep Samtonia in mind for all your economic needs! And tell your friends and allies the excellent deals you have received!

Countries of the World, keep the requests coming! We'll soon have the economic package for YOU!

Upper Xen, the factories can be unionized if that's what your workers do. If not, they're not. Simple as that, really.
[OOC-Don't have to if you don't want to. I mean, if you want to change your outlook on issues to represent your more commercial economy now and greater foreign investments, go ahead. But I was just assuming this was RPed. But hey, more power to you.]

And thank you for helping us come up with this excellent deal for both our nations! It has been a pleasure doing business with you- make sure to keep Samtonia in mind for all your economic needs! And tell your friends and allies about the excellent deals you have received!

Upper-Xen, it was excellent doing business with you.

With these transactions, we have another two nations who have received these excellent deals and are happy with them. NS, you have seen how good the deals are. Anyone is welcome to apply for a package!

We'd like the Continental Package, say thankya (please)

1. The General Climate is just barron desert. There are a few areas with hills with grass bu mostly desert. There are rather massive mountains in the west, but they are to far from any industrial center, maybe you could build factorys near them to jump start the area.

2. Laws? For the friends of the High Sherif?

3. Oil, possibly gold and other metals, but mining operations have been very hard to get off the ground.

4. In the west of The Badlands
