After recently deciding upon a new research and development plan, a privatized system which takes a lot of strain off the Zanzii budget, the Zanzii Senate has voted to allow foreign citizens and corporations dig their hands into this system. This is the offer put forth by the Senate:

Accepting Party (You):

Jobs for up to 30,000 people (per facility) [All workers to be paid at least minimum wage of their country.]
Increased relationship with Zanziik
Decreased barriers on trade etc. with Zanziik


Offering Party (Zanziik):

Expanded R&D capabilities
Increased relationship with accepting party
Budget strain reliever

This offer has been extended to all who would like to accept, and the Zanzii government is awaiting responses!

[OoC: Ok, so basically, if you accept the facility, my country builds it in your nation. Your people are paid to work in my company, yadda yadda, and in return, I take absolutely nothing material from your country. The point of my establishing these is so that I can officially earn "R&D points" in my new system, at a rate of 1 point per facility per (RL) day.]

To: Zanziik

We Buy It Inc. is a conglomerate of hundreds of companies ranging from orange juice makers, arms manufacturers and oil drillers to uranium mining and ore mining companies in The Silver Sky, several years ago we exploded into the international market, we control many market sectors in many nations, and have recently brought the oil drilling, mining, and arms sectors in the nation of Czardas under our control.

We are very interested in extending of services and products to yet another nation, we would like to build several arms manufacturing plants for our three newest infantry weapons and we need places to build several new ethanol plants and oil refineries. And possibly to open new aluminum, titanium, and iron mines if you posses such resources.

But before we commit ourselves we would like know what types of natural resources your nation possess, any types, from oil to salt.

We hope to here back from you,
Steve Miller

To: Zanziik
From: Molly Spragg, Minister of Commerce and Trade

The Commerce Department has decided to permit Zanziik to build facilities in the following republics: Republic of New McFarland, Republic of North Saint Clair, Republic of Pink and the Allied States of the Islands pending further details of the benefits to the Commonwealth and its member republics.

(ooc: In essence, I'm asking for a bit more detail as to what we get out of it and how it would work)

[OoC: Added ooc stuff to first post to better explain it.]

IC:

Official Senate Communique to We Buy It Inc.

List of Resources Publically Available in The Divided Territories:


Iron (large number of untapped deposits)
Oil (large reserves, open for public sale)
Aluminum (small amounts of untapped deposits)
Osmium (very small amounts)
Cobalt (large amounts, but located high in the Ruvarri Mountains, hazardous environment)


As of now, this is the extent of public materials. We would be honored to open factories of your corporation in our country.

[OoC: Glad to see that you're interested.

Summary of Offer:
Well, what happens is, if you accept the facility, Zanziik will build a top quality research and development complex in your nation, with no charge to you. Even more enticing to some nations is the fact that these free complexes provide work and pay for up to 30,000 citizens of your country, who will be trained to the highest standard by Zanzii scientists. What this does for Zanziik is that it allows us to pay a smaller amount on R&D per year than previously, because we are not paying completely for it. Your labs will "work" to provide Zanziik with 1 R&D point per day, which will then be used by Zanziik to research new technologies, which may in turn become open to the public, working full circle back to you, the accepting nation. Any other questions?]

The Empire of Cantelmo would be more than willing to accommodate your scientists and facilities in our industrious nation. International cooperation is strongly encouraged by our regime and this mutual partnership seems very promising. We await the finalization and confermation of our agreement with anticipation.

--Emperor Cantelmo

To: Zanziik
From: Molly Spragg, Minister of Commerce and Trade

What you propose has been accepted by the Republic if New McFarland, the Republic of North Saint Clair and the Republic of Pink. One facility per Republic.

[OoC: Cantelmo, before I say yes, how many facilities would you like to host, and what is minimum wage in your country?

Saint Fedski, I am glad that you are accepting these facilities, but first I need to know the minimum wage laws in your country so that I can work out the payment per year.]

Green Sun will have to turn down the offer, as UziCorp would wind up buying the company if we did.

From: Steven Miller, Chief Executive Officer, We Buy It Inc., The Silver Sky
To: Zanziik Senate

We thank you for your speedy response, a single plot of land in each of our 5 major cities have already been cleared, it is now only up to you to build the facilities and recruit workers.

We are very interested in establishing oil drilling, iron and aluminum facilities, and very interested in the osmium and cobalt deposits, please send us a map as soon as possible.

After careful consideration here in Riegab we have decided that it would be in the best interest of both nations if we agreed to the terms of this deal. Consider Riegab to be a closer partner, for life. A parcel of land is being prepared in the comming week in Eutko, our second biggest city, and also in Bratsnom and Proskare for your facility.
