International Trading Fair(open to all)

Darvainia
11-08-2005, 15:05
The nation of Darvainia has for the first time in its short history decided to host a fair within its borders. Here all nations are welcomed to setup booths and other things to promote new products, raw materials, or any form of trade. This is also a great place to come to talk about opening up possible trade relations with other nations. All are invited, whether political leaders, entrepenuers, or just common folk who want to enjoy the sights and sounds, events, and games that will be hosted. The fair will mostly take place just outside our capital city, but other areas as well. The only thing we ask for those who set up booths is a very small 3% tarrif on any profits you make. Come down and enjoy, we are already have the following products on display from our own booths:

sold by the various Cheese Export industries:
Cheesecakes
Nachos and cheese
and Cheese flavored soda and other softdrinks

The trout farmers:
Trout patties
Trout sushi
Fried trout

The Uranium Mining association:
Uranium nightlights

(sorry no weapons or arms can be sold, however they can be put on display and you can distribute information on what you may wish to sell to other nations)

Also enjoy our rides including the Ferris Wheel of Cheese, and our "Uranium Arcade", as well as sideshow games like the "Cheese Toss" or try your luck at the later trout races. Again all are welcome, feel free to come down and behold the joys of free trade in the nation of Darvainia.

An enormous transport helicopter flew over head, hovering above the fair. The Darvainian citizen's looked up at it, curious. This wasn't part of the schedule. The doors to the helicopter burst open and two dosen Fatus Maxians slid down ropes, their hands protected from being burned by gloves. They leapt to the ground, causing it the shake slightly, and raced towards the cheesecake booths, shoving each other to the side in a desperate effort to get there first. They reached their destination and immediately formed a line behind it, anxiously waiting to spend their donuts on an entire cheescake.

One of the cheese merchants grinned widely as a line of huge people formed at his booth, he eagerly whipped up the cheesecakes and took their foreign currency and put away to be exchanged later.
Slowly the fair built more momentum and people from all over Darvainia flocked to enjoy the festivities, though very few from other nations had come the organizer were hopeful that some would, most though understood this would help the economy either way.

Meanwhile those at the Ferris Wheel of Cheese ride nervously watched the large people enjoy their cheesecakes, and quickly wrote up a sight and put it at the ride saying, "This is not made from real cheese, please do no eat..."

We would like to request setting up a booth to promote our upcomming religious celebration:

We also would like to sell life size plush platypi and giant plush platypi as suveniors. I also would like to order 50 cheesecakes of different varieties for the celebration. This should cover everything. 10 million USD wired to the fairs account.

Thankyou national commonwealth for participation in our fair, you may set up a booth for your animal, and also promote your banking services in our nation, we hope you enjoy your time here.

Fair Announcement: legislation has passed and we are now serving Roast Dragon, however they are very rare and hard to catch so they are expensive @ $20 a plate. The booth has already been setup and roast dragon meals are available with a small softdrink and a small order of fries, enjoy! Oh and don't forget to try our trademark Cheese Flavored Soda before you leave, it is...well...interesting tasting anyway...

Thank you Dakkaaaa uh...? Thank you my friends, I'm sure you know already but you are not permitted to sell arms, however as said you can display them with a booth, which we grant you full permission to do. Who knows we may even come down sometime in the future and do some shopping if your booth impresses us, we are readily searching for weapons as we are a new and small nation with limited military resources, and are looking to invest more in defense. Thank you as always, for your participation in our fair.

Mondoth Arms Ltd. wishes to show case our infantry equipment, as per your injunction no weapons will be sold but if allowed we would like to establish a MILES combat area in which attendees can participate in the most realistic game of LaserTag ever (used by militaries world wide as combat training) using both Mondoth Arms Ltd. systems and those of foreign companies to show the clear superiority of our products.

2. The Shipyards at Wull and Farthing wishes to sho case their comercially available yachts, cargo ships, speed and ski boats and personal watercraft.

The Commonwealth of United Island Empires wishes to show off (and sell) its latest policing, peace-keeping and anti-terror stun-guns, which can be used to detain, without causing lasting damage, criminals, armed-millitants and terror-suspects. We have a stock of 1 mill. to sell. Price negotiable.
Darvainia
16-08-2005, 18:05
Parliament has discussed your pending booth and approved, we were hesitant because you seemed to be selling weapons, but because they are nonlethal, proceed as you wish. Set up your booth as soon as you wish.

The Mondoth Arms Booth arrived in the form of a pickup truck with its bed full of what appeared to be canvas like cloth and air compressors. As the four men in charge of setting up the booth began working though, it was apparent that the entire booth and arena would be inflated. within minutes the booth and arena were well on their way to being fully inflated while the workers scrambled around tying down stakes and making sure the structures went up right. Almost as soon as the booth was finished, another truck arrived with a trailer which had clear panels allowing people outside to see a full suit of Mondoth Arms Ltd. COmbat equipment set up on a dummy with pseudo holograms describing the various parts of the suit and weapons. From inside the trailer was pulled a flat screen wall T.V. and several racks of MILES enabled Combat equipment that quickly went into the Arena's inflacted instructional area.

The Shipyards at Wuller and Farthing arrived later in the day in a full five ton truck pulling a minor assortment of water craft behind it and several boxes which opened to be several durable LCD screens that fit together to form the Booth. the screens constantly displayed comercials for the shipyards and scenes of people going recklessly fast on boats and jet skis emblazoned 'Wuller and Farthing'

Still later a Utility Vehicle arrived, the East Mondoth Trust's booth was quickly erected of corrugated steel and a small number of material samples were scattered on around the booth, they were actually plastic but unless you were a seasoned geologist, or actually touched one, it was hard to tell.
Cobra Global
19-08-2005, 23:16
People of Darvainia, Cobra Global is a worldwide emerging corporation. We specialize in arms, scientific research, and energy. We provice much more however. We were once simply an emerging corporation in our nation (a huge island basically in the middle of nowhere), but eventually our country decended into anarchy, and it was us and only one other corporation that was powerful enough to restore any kind of order or rule in the land. We warred for several years politically, economically, and militarily and eventually we came out on top and swallowed their assets. Now we own all the land in our country, and our citizens all serve the company in one way or another. You'll find our corporate militia very impressive, though feeble in comparison to most of the nations of the international community, of course I digress.
As a marketting consultant for the corporation, I would like to set up a booth in your fair to promote the many goods and services we plan to offer, we will hand out literature, and advertise our storefront (which is yet to come). We would also like to build an Imax Theatre in your capitali city, here will play various advertisements, a movie that shows a tour of our facilities and operations, as well as promoting goods and services, we will also play many entertainment films there as well. If you grant us these permissions we will pay you well for the booth, and the land given, and we guarantee you will be an economic hotspot, as we will conduct many of our dealings here.

The Silver Sky
19-08-2005, 23:39
The Silver Sky would like to open 3 booths.

1) A small booth to showcase our many infantry arms and as you have asked, nothing will be sold, though we would like to know if we could open a small (750m by 100m) live target range (away from the other booths of course).

2) A large video arcade to showcase Have Fun Incorporated's new line of Virtual Reality Games including a fighter jet game with many fighters to chose from, a boxing game, a military style combat game and many other games.

3) A booth showcaseing the many strategic resources and fine metals.

Shadowthone
20-08-2005, 01:35
We of the Holy Republic of Shadowthone noticed the lack of non-cheese beverages in this great fair.

We would like to request to set up a booth, selling our unique one of a kind brand of soda drinks. With the great variety of flavors and awesome taste, we hope to make this fair even better.

Furthermore, our publishing companies would like to showcase some great books for the enjoyment for all.

A Large black van pulls up to the main entrance playing Snoop Dogg and Pharrell's "Drop it Like it's Hot..." and shaking to the hydraulics placed in the vehicle. All of the attendees of the fair look puzzled at the van, as 10 Pimp-Soldiers pop out and start smacking people. They make their way up to the Fried Chicken line and start buying like crazy. They then make a beeline to the Liquor Store across the street, and come out with 2 Colt .45 40 ouncers' a piece. Then, they flip the dismayed crowd off, get in to the van, and take off. Not long after, though, they all come back, and in a half-drunken rage open fire on the crowd with SC-2000K's.

*Buy an SC-2000K Today, and kill a huge crowd!*
Darvainia
20-08-2005, 14:25
Go ahead with your booth shadowthone

Meanwhile the entire crowd ducked down, barely able to avoid the bullets, but this fair had military security, and over 30 men instantly scrambled on the scene armed with SC-2000K Modular Assault Rifles and returned fire and at the men and their van. Meanwhile the alarm sounded, alerting the innocents around to run for cover from the resulting assault.

Thank goodness the pimp-soldiers were in a drunken rage, and wearing bullet resistent fur coats. They fired back at the guards and were suprised to find that they SC-2000K's were firing blanks! They ran for cover and got into the van. The Van sped off towards the horizon...
