Tradin’ in Alexias


This is the reference for trading with the sovereign nation of The Alexian Empire.

The Emperial Government regulates all international trade, acting as mediator between two parties, and in addition controls most of the international trade directly.

Consequently, all trade deals so must be run through the government.
Before attempting to initiate trade, please establish diplomatic relations with the empire through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

All prices are the normal price for said thing.

Thing is 7% sales tax on everything with the exception of UDF member governments.

Natural Resources of the Alexian Empire: staple crops*, Iron, Copper, aluminum, Zinc, Nickel, lead, potash, wildlife*, fish*, coal, natural gas, hydropower, salt, sand, molybdenum, silver*.

*The wildlife is greatly diminished by habitat destruction, pollution and overhunting, and is now very scarce and essentially useless. Most of it is now under environmental protection.
*There used to be an abundance of fish on the southern shore, but it is now almost non-existent due to overfishing. The government has programs to try and re-stock the coast underway, but with not much success.
*The silver is now drying up.
*The empire, as a whole, produces massive amounts of staple crops, and many farmers are extremely anxious to get there crops onto the international market.

Natural goods offered for export: Wheat, Rice, Vegetables, Tobacco*, copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, lead, coal, salt, sand, molybdenum, silver.

*Tobacco is also produced en masse in the empire, mainly as a cash crop. It is of low quality, but extremely cheap.

Manufactured goods offered for export: Industrial Steel, Steel, small arms, AM/FM receiver radios, Cigarettes, Pipe tobacco, textiles, shoes, light bulbs, clockwork clocks, electric clocks, hub caps….(I forget what I was doing, so I will add more later.)

Investing in the Empire

As with trade, the central government heavily regulates and supervises investement, and as with trade, you must establish diplomatic relations before making investement.

Government Bonds:

1,500,700 government bonds in agriculture at 50$ apiece for 0.5% interest.

1,500,700 government bonds in industry at 50$ apiece for 0.5% interest.

Other investements:

Please contact the emperial government with details.

(Suggestions: Are you a first world national leader? What about bussinessmen? Why not save money buy using cheap labor of the Alexian Empire for your factory production?! The minimum wage is next to nothing, and with the exchange rates, you’d probably go over anyway! And on top of that, it is a huge untapped labor force! There is massive enemployement, and the government welcomes coarperate investement, protects it, and is desperate to create jobs!)

Tourism

Tourism is also very much controlled by the government, simply because they want more tourists, and they do not want tourists hurt.

There are many many historical sites around the country, government run tourist bureau does many tours, also there is things for hikers and eco tourists and whatnot(also government run) aswell as thousands of resorts on the shore and near the mountains, aswell as in the tourist districts of most cities, aswell as many resorts in otherwise rural areas, with wonderfully elaborate hotels, little towns, ect.

Alexia is a country packed with historical sites, and the people love tourists. The exchange rate for a strong currency is wonderfull, and everything is much cheaper than at home!

Come see Alexia, the jewel of the second world!

( I was also thinking of doing some tourism RP's, plus me and Aust were going to do something, anyhow...)

I could do an FT RP, I'd be happy to, but I just don't want to divide my time up to much, you see.

But perhaps.
