We are curently looking to buy or lease for a long period of time a piece of land, preferably an island. A piece of land with sea access is also acceptable. The land will be used for building a space port, according to our plans to make space flight a cheap alternative to the masses.

We need:

- to be situated at the Ecuator or near it
- calm climate with as many sunny days as possible/year and little chance for storms
- to be leased for a minimum period of 49 years, though we wish for a 99 year period
- to be considered Calpe territory in this time, giving us the possibility to emplace defensive troops and equipment that is to be used only for protection of our investment
- no volcanoes or mountains on it or in the vicinity as it might interfere with the space port activity
- must have a minimum of 50-150 sq. km. surface (we are willing to lease more -> more money/year)
- must be accessible by sea (coastline permits the building of a port)

We offer:

- 100 million $ for each sq. km/year (5-15 billion $/year for the lot) ( price is negociable if the land has some extra qualities/facilities that might interest us)
- Investments in the area (plans include the building of hotels, space port, roads, a port, a new city if the period is for 99 years or one from prefabricated materials for shorter periods)
- Access to our space technology that exists or is to be developed, including rights to buy for yourselves space planes capable of sending turists into space at affordable prices (the Cosmos series of space planes that are to be developed, capable of taking-off and landing from normal airports)
- At the end of the lease period the space port and all our investments will be given freely to you (we plan to build an artificial island by then) if the deal cant be renewed.
- we will include tours of your country for our space turists in some packages and that could also help your turism
- give you access to the space port for your space efforts or for use of the space planes you might buy from us
- a trade agreement and possibly an alliance


Please provide details of the island/land you are willing to lease to us and the terms if you are interested.

That is on NS not on some Earth right? Please provide here details concerning your offer. We will wait for some more offers and make a decision afterwards. We need climate/relief/sq.km./current facilities/road coverage/sea access and other details you might find useful.

Mt nation is a large island located of the coast of Equador. We can offer you every requirement you havr asked for, eveyone can be met if you chose to lease on our Island. Road access os ok that the moment, the area of our island is very flat and situared on uor wesr coast. Due to the high mountains about 1,000 milest to our east the weather is almost always clear and calm. There is already a large port there that you can use.

We may offer the southermost island of the Comona Island Chain, Lukai Island, about 230 miles southeast from Mainland Vuhifell.

-Very calm seas
-Chances of severe wheather 1:290
-Maximum lease timeframe: 65 years
-Calpe territory status: Granted, however, Lukai Island is only 3 miles away from a major Vuhifellian Military base on Johanna Island.
-Volcanic Activity: Minor
-Mountains, very few
-Surface Area: 83 sq. miles (largest in island chain)
-Sea access: Can't have an island without it

==========

Interesting features: Comona Island chain is one of the most mineral rich territories of Vuhifell, 1 out of every 3 useful elements can be found throught the Eastern Part of the chain, while 1 out of every 2 useful elements can be found throughout the Southern and Western parts of the chain.

Investments: Do you really want to waste money on building a hotel when you can get about 1 megaton of bauxite*, uranium, iron, and coal(sp. ?) ore in about 6 months

Access to space tech: Vuhifell currently has 3 luanch sites in the island chain, 19 miles west of Lukai Island

The Vuhifellian States your offer is the most interesting one we received so far. We would like to sign the treaty as fast as possible and begin construction of the spaceport on the island. We have prepared the 21 billion $, funds for the first year of lease and they will be wired as soon as we sign the contract. In regard with the vuhifellian military base, we have no problem with that as we will keep only a limited number of troops there for protection against terrorist atacks. However, some sort of flight coridors have to be established so that no accidents occur between the spaceplanes and any military planes that might fly in the area.
Also, if you will desire to buy the Cosmos One or the Cosmos Pioneer variant once they enter production please let us know.
We will send engineers and workers as soon as you confirm the deal.

Flight Corridor Zanzibar has been redirected from Johanna Island to Lukai Island.

We must respectfully decline your offer for space flight tech. For we already have our 5, Nortoga Class space explorers.

Your workers may land on nearby JoiPol Island to be flown to Lukai via dropship.
