Official Pacitalian Government Statement
Attention, nations of the world!
The Strait of Fentomeria and Rio Timiocato Divisional Channel (RTDC) are now open to international shipping and marine trade. Until this point, these important connectors for the Caribbean and Pacific were only open to ships of Pacitalia and her allies (tariffs applicable on the allies).
Now, the Pacitalian Canal-Shipping Administration (PCSA) has ratified legislation passed by the two chambers of government in Pacitalia that allows all nations of the world to use the channel.
Effective 1 March 2005:
Pacitalian and Anubisyrrian ships may use the channel system freely
Ships of allies of Pacitalia (see below) may now use the channel system at no cost
Other nations not in the list may use the channel system with a tariff of 15.0% of the value of the goods contained in the ship
Military restrictions:
Pacitalian, UWP and OMP naval craft may use the channel system freely
No other military presence will be allowed within 10km of the Pacific and Caribbean entrances, let alone in the channel system. Disregardation of this rule will be treated as hostility towards Pacitalia
The PCSA reserves the right to stop any ship in the channel if it believes illicit materials and/or products are being carried in the craft. The craft, products and crew will be detained until a bilateral agreement can be reached between the government of Pacitalia and the government of the nation the ship is registered to.
Consequences will be severe if any harm is caused to the natural environment by the careless actions of some ship crews. This is not your territory therefore we ask that you respect the surrounding land and these waterways by treating it as though it was your own backyard. That is, with respect.
Here is a map of the channel system:
