NationStates Jolt Archive

A rather large collection of shipwreck and plane crash survivors have declared themselves independent from a large amount of mother countries. Apparently, 9 generations ago the first group of people crashed into the reef surrounding the snowy island and eventually, more people got themselves trapped on the island. The reason for the large amount of plane crashes in the region was a gigantic magnetic boulder that has now been sealed 4 miles underground.

Cetaceanus has a policy of armed neutrality and has a small, well-trained infantry division and, since the metallic boulder has been done away with, is working on an air force and a navy, with 32 propeller-powered fighters and a battleship so far.

Welecome to the world as a nation.
If equipment is what you wish, my national storefront (Link in sig), has quite a good selection. We even have modern propeller driven fighters if that is what you prefer. In fact, we prefer them ourselves, they are a great deal more manuverable and harder to hit then a large jet.
Anyway, please accecpt our offer, and browse the selection at your leisure, defence is not something to be rushed into.

We would like to personally welcome the small nation of Cetaceanus to the violent and tumultous world of Nation-States. As a sign of good gesture, our government would like to open both diplomatic and economic ties to your nation by any means possible.

May your nation continue to thrive in peace and prosperity.

Signed,

Jean Le-Blanc
Directeur de Affiars International

The people of the Shrin Kali would like to extend a hand of friendship to the Cetaceanus. We believe that, as we both are similarly sized and work with similarly small amounts of land, we would have much to offer. To facilitate this exchange, we request permission to establish an embassy within your capital city.
Furthermore, if there is any remaining way to access that boulder, there are certainly both companies and individuals who would greatly wish to study it. Such powerful magnetic fields are uncommon, to say the least.

THE EMBASSY - Likewise. We will give you permission to build an embassy in Archimedes if you give us the persmission to build one in yours.

THE MAGNET - Go ahead and take it. The magnet isn't as powerful as most people suspect it to be, but it can easily bring down a modern Boeing from a considerable distance in the air. For some reason, the magnet can bring things from a mile away but it isn't as strong as its size suggests. As for the actual location of the rock, we dumped it into the sea a long time ago. A strong and sturdy submarine with a powerful reactor should be able to retrieve it, though. I have sent the coordinates to you. Do whatever you will with them.

The board of Directors of Wilson Nano-Industries would like to set up a branch in your nation. This would help you greatly. the benefits to your economy of having a mega-corporation such as WNI are incalculable. As a sweetener, we offer $50,000,000 to help you make your mind. The ecology of your land is fascinating, and we believe some plants there could help cure diseases which ravage the world. Please consider this. Short of that, we would like to set up a corporate embassy.

How about a counter-offer:

The Cetacean Grapevine, although it has numerous healing properties, somehow stood still as evolution passed around it; the Cetacean Grapevine can keep a small population together, but it does not actually thrive in this rather cold region. We could give you, say, half the population of the plant on Cetaceanus for you to take them to a slightly warmer environment where they can flourish. In return, we'll take a 5% royalty on all medicines produced using this plant.

That is an excellent idea. We will give you the $50,000,000 as a gift, as thanks for this lucrative offer.

We certainly welcome your ambassadors in our nation! There is, however, one caveat. We are not responsible for the policing of your embassy. What we are willing to grant is a standardized plot of land is available free of charge in our capital city Noravos. This land will be adjacent to the city center and will come with a small office.
To ensure order on the property, you will have to hire from one of the local security agencies, or bring your own small police contingent.
In return, we wish a small plot in your capital city, near the government center.

As for the magnet: We thank you for the coordinates, and even if you find the magnet useless, we assure you that it is far from such. Based wholly on what you said there, we can see considerable uses in defense, if only by planting the whole darned rock on a mountaintop somewhere. A recovery crew is en route even as we send this message, although as we do not have nuclear submarines, it may take a while to dredge out of the ocean.

We will accept your offer and we'll hire security from one of the local agencies. In return, we shall provide you a plot of land just across the street from the capital building in Archimedes. A security force for the building will be hired for you, as well as construction workers.

We didn't consider the giant boulder useless, we considered it dangerous. A unique property of it is that it attracts both negative and positive chargers; some Cetacean geologists theorize that a positive magnet and a negative magnet stuck to each other thousands of years years ago and then molded into eachother creating a giant metal boulder that has two distinct sides, one positive and one negative.

We look forward to continuing peace with Shrin Kali, and the Cetacean Grapevine having a positive effect on diseases around the world.
