President Jackson walked up to the podium.

"Listen guys! By that I mean all of the CEOs of big companies, Rorotravia needs foreign investment in order for us to survive. I have already provided the infrastructure, such as the roads, and the airport, which I do intend to improve upon. Crime, while theft being high is not a real problem. So then I ask you, why dont you come to Rorotravia? Unemployment is high, so then if you come and build factories, hotels, and shops we will be able to become a first world country within fifty years!" The President saluted, and then walked off stage.

Rorotravia has blown its budget, on setting up the countries basic infrastructure which it has not even fully completed at this moment! Therefore, we beg all foreign corporations to come to our dear land and set up business. But there are some rules-

You may not exploit the workers
You must not make offensive, or sexually charged advertisments
You must comply with the law at all times, and make sure that the business you conduct here is worthy.

Secret IC:

"hmmm, Interesting.. A nation begging for Foreign Investment, The KCI could not possibly pass this up at all...." the Head of the KCI spoke, from his officed in Numonica...

"Perhaps, While AMF hounds our Homeland, We can spread ourselves like a Virus, Making us harder to root out.... hmm, Yes perhaps..."

In Character:


The Totalitarian Military State of The Kraven Corporation

To: Rorotravia
From: The Kraven Chemcial Incorporated

We have heard your plea for Investment, and as a company always looking to spread its wings and give business to other nations we would be honoured if you would allow The KCI to set up a Large Industrial Chemical plant within your nation, We can assure you that your workers would be looked after, after all is it not the workers that turn the very cogs of a nation?

We can assure you Wealth and good Revenue from this development, and would oil the great machine of economic development, we only hope that you will accept our offer and so we can discuss matters further.

As for Rorotravia, register at the Role Play University (http://s14.invisionfree.com/RPU). They will help you much more than I can.

“Dear President Jackson,
We are Napoleon Dzhugashvili, Efraín Herrera, and Gustavo Broz the CEOs of Potty 5's 3 greatest Information Technology corporations. Potty 5 Info-Tech, Cyber Monkey, and Handsome Ape Computers respectfully; As with any investment there is great risk for our corporations if out ventures fail in Rorotravia, as such we would prefer if there was some way that you could say for instance offer us exclusive rights as the sole foreign companies in the information technology field Also we would like to have temporary leeway in terms of the laws of your nation as they differ greatly in many respects from those that our managers are used to. For example in Potty 5 there is no such thing as content in advertising deemed offensive (by the goverment).

President Jackson has granted you the right to be the sole foreign corporation in the foreign information technology sector. However, our laws on moral advertising are simple, you may not have sexually charged advertisments, or ones with a political spin. That is the law, and it must be followed. The Kraven Corporation is also welcome to come and invest in our dear land. However, we would encourage you to make apartments, and to build department stores for our country. Please do, and we will be very greatful. Maybe you could even build skyscrapers!

We must warn you though, that expatriats in this country may not wish to live here. The reason being that we only have our roads, an airport, reasonably good hospitals however few in number, and some shanties. There is not as of yet a main street either, so there is no night life. There are no schools, however we are thinking of having classes in empty hospital rooms. The national bank, the only operating bank in Rorotravia, is a small kiosk like stand. Please be careful when investing, and if necessary we can post guards to defend you, my men are very loyal to me.

Official Letter from the Office of the Minister of Foreign Matters
Dear President Jackson,
It is official policy of the nation of Potty 5 to offer aid to developing countries who grant special considerations for corporate investors who may be risking large sums of money. As you have granted 3 of Potty 5's IT companies sole right as foreign IT companies this means that your nation is in tern eligible for aid. As such the Emperor Fat Monkey 13 has authorized the sending of a 10 billion dollar aid package for the setting up of wireless and satellite communications for your country as well as general and basic infrastructure including power lines, and telephone lines.

**another letter**
Official Letter from Acid Vodka Liquors Group
Dear President Jackson,
It has come to my attention that your nation has been willing to enter in agreements with Potty 5 Info-Tech Corp., Cyber Monkey Corp., and Handsome Ape Computers Corp.. These agreements include protection from other foreign investors; I, Theodore Steelman, CEO of Acid Vodka Liquors Group would like a similar agreement but in the field of Potato and Rice based beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). I would also like to know the legal status of drugs in food products, what the legal policy of recreational drugs is, and if the it is legal [It is in Potty 5] Acid Vodka Liquors Group would like to also access to that market and protection from other foreign investors.

Sincerely

**other letter**
The letter follows the same form as the others, but this time it is ‘Katsu-Shin Gambling Houses” from CEO Tonkatsu Shintaro asking for rights to be the sole foreign runner of gambling establishments.

Behind this is a rather strange letter, unless you know Potty 5. It is from…
‘The Official Potty 5 Bureau of Bordellos’ from Daji, this appears to be a Potty 5 government run business and Daji, a wife of the Emperor, is asking for the foreign market in legal prostitution. Unlike the others this letter simply carries the authorization of the Emperor with his seal stamped on the bottom of the last page.

OOC: How long and much do you wish to play this out?

Dear President Jackson,

On behalf of the Empire of Atruria, I would sincerely like to thank you for your former invitation to visit Samula, your capitol cit, which I received several days ago, by telegram. I would like to inform you that as soon as Lord Balor, Emperor of Yallak, departs from Atruria, I would love to attend. Additionally, I would like to intercede for two of Atruria’s most renowned companies. These are Royal Atrurian Airways (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=459684) and Atruria Automobile Manufacturing (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=459715). The RAA, or Royal Atrurian Airways, would like firstly, to buy the right to fly planes to Samula’s airport and to land them. AAM, our most prestigious car company would like to set up three factories in Rorotravia. This will provide jobs and commerce, in addition to creating cars, which we will sell in Rorotravia at heavily discounted prices for the government and the populace. Although AAM’s sales gallery is not yet up, it will soon be updated. Furthermore, I would like to encourage yourself, your government, and your people, to buy stocks in both companies.

Yours truly,
HIM, Charles III Magnus Lothar, By the Grace of God, Emperor of Atruria

To: The Office of the President of Rorotravia
From: HIRM David IV, Emperor of Yiddisherland

In interest of assisting your nation to break free from its perpetual state of poverty, and to the manufacture of military equipment and supplies for our war machine, we ask permission to build three factories within the borders of your nation. One factory will be used solely for the purpose of manufacturing ammunition, another for the manufacture of aircraft, and the last for the manufacture of short ranged ballistic missiles. We would employ 15 000 of your citizens, who would be receiving payment directly from the Imperial Ministry of War at wages considerably lower than would be paid to our own workers but 50% higher than those generally paid to your workers at similar locations.

Slowly The Kraven Chemical Incorporated constructor fleet left the docks of Numonica, the vast fleet contained the various means to construct the new facility that would bring prosperity to This new nation, and also spread the roots of the Corporation, making it more difficult to completely remove the Corporation, Like a Cancer the corporation spreads across the globe... and this is no exception.

The Theocracy of Yucania, with permission from our leader, Chancellor Blue Kearse, would like to set up a factory and a possible office building for our largest national business, the Darko Company. We do everything from entertainment to the auto industry, clothing, food, ect. So we will be awaiting a final decision to come from your government. We would like to thank you for hearing us out and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Due to the fact that so many have replied to this thread, I am unable to fully respond to adress each individual nation. We would like to inform Potty 5, that Gambling, and Prostitution are illiegal in Rorotravia, and also any drug apart from Alcohol is also completely illiegal. However, your companies are free to make soft drinks. We are also extremely greatful for your pledge of 10,billion but would request that we not have to put it to only just telecommunications, but the building of schools, and hospitals, and roads, and powerplants.

Arturia, we are very greatful that you have accepted our offer for a state visit, and we intend to make your stay an extremely pleasant one. However, we advise against you buying the routes to our land, because of the fact that we are not a very attractive tourist destination, and many of our people cannot afford to fly. However, you are free to use three of our soon to be built ten hangars, as the rest have been taken. You are free to pursue any economic interests later, so long as they fit in with Rorotravian law.

The Kraven Corporation, we must please ask you not to take such a stance on the way you should expand yourselves in our nation. We made such a deal on a mutual basis of understanding, not one in which one loses and the other benefits. We are greatful that you will help develop our housing, and President Jackson will see you later, you will receive a personel invitation.

Everyone may invest, so long as ROROTRAVIAN GOVERNMENT HAS CONTROL!

OOC: Rorotravia, see my previous post in the thread. Sign up over at RPU. Their teachings will greatly benefit you.

OOC: I am doing very well, soon my country will become democratic, you should not worrry, as it is in the countries best interest to be free.

Everyone may invest, so long as ROROTRAVIAN GOVERNMENT HAS CONTROL!

This is what worries Naviblah Industries, Naviblah's Defense and Logistics corporation.

What would stop you from taking our designs, machines and inventory in country? Especially considering many of the things made in potential factories would be subject to Naviblah's Security Clearance Program.

If you'd be willing to drop this clause we would be very interested in establishing our first foreign factories.

Dear President Jackson,

I write to you with several offers, once more, though this time, less corporate. First of all, I would like to agree on an embassy exchange, if possible, and appoint Thomas Fendigard as the Atrurian ambassador to Rorotravia. With your permission, I should also like to start up a program within the Royal Aid Corps, an organization similar to the Peace Corps of the USA, to send men and women to aid Rorotravia, including construction workers, teachers, and other such personnel. In addition, I would like to create a scholarship program for Rorotravian citizens at the Royal University of Atruria, in Talonia, the imperial capitol. Finally, I would be extremely honored your acceptance of a gift of 5 billion dollars from the coffers of the Empire of Atruria. Perhaps these are some of the things that we may discuss more in depth on my trip to your nation, no?

[Signed]
HIM, Charles III Magnus Lothar, By the Grace of God, Emperor of Atruria

We may allow it, so long as you can prove that you are surving both your homeland, and Rorotravia equally. For if you are here merely to make money off us, then there is not much point, as the aim of this investment drive is to encourage people to get some work. On the other hand, this can also highly benefit corporations.

We have simple business rules here, and these are greatly rooted in our traditions as a people.

-No hiding of intentions, or not telling business partners things.
-Being kind to the employees.
-Having moral advertisments, and businesses such as no sex.
-Having good intentions.
-Not trying to act bigger than the government, while still maintaning rights.

OOC: I know. But you should go to RPU to help improve your role-playing.

And click this link, and scroll down (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10009664&postcount=847). Post in Mac's Kriegzimmer storefront, regarding 'global oppurtunity'.

President Jackson has invited the Leader of Southeastasia to Samula, the Capital of the Rorotravia in order for them to exchange political views. He will also demonstrate what his rule by decree has done for the Southeastasian state, and also explain that he is doing it for the good of the country, and once everything is set up Democracy will only follow.

OOC: I haven't had any IC interaction with you at all, I've communicated with you completely Out of Character one hundred percent.

I'm not sure these restrictions are appropriate for our industry. After all we're building military equipment.


-No hiding of intentions, or not telling business partners things.
(We do not have business parters but contractors who agree to our terms.)
-Being kind to the employees.
(We are in the business of building quality equipment, you must compensate employee's well in order to get quality work)
-Having moral advertisments, and businesses such as no sex.
(We only advertise to other nations)
-Having good intentions.
(We build military grade logistics equipment, please explain good intentions)
-Not trying to act bigger than the government, while still maintaning rights.
(I am concerned about your currency exchange rate, and population.)


What is your countries number of skilled workers that specialize in Vehicle assembly, and engineering?

We may allow it, so long as you can prove that you are surving both your homeland, and Rorotravia equally. For if you are here merely to make money off us, then there is not much point, as the aim of this investment drive is to encourage people to get some work. On the other hand, this can also highly benefit corporations.


After consideration, and researching your country I'm not sure we'll be build any factories in your nation without signifigant tax breaks.

If we can come to agreement on taxes you need to understand we are helping your nation by building factories to employ your citizen's with high paying techinical jobs. Which in turn brings you higher taxable income.

OOC: Southeastasia doesn't mean that as an insult either, I've already seen some of the most skilled RP'ers on NS sign up for courses, which I plan on doing once i dont have so many RPs going on.

Your country has recently come to the attention of two of Yurka's most prestigious Corporations. Ragnarok Incorporated and the Dyne Corporation which are currently looking to expand all over the world. Ragnarok is essentially a nuclear power corporation, branching into enviornmental engineering, mining, and more. Dyne Corporation is responsible for Medical Goods, bio-tech and genetics. Your stance on nuclear power ultimately depends on if both of the corporations will branch into Rorotravia or simply one. Of course they will both need skyscrapers and offices built in your capital, and will open up two schools to supply training for your people to work in the aforementioned corporations.

We hope to be hearing from you...

Andrew Johnson,
Yurka Minister Commerce

Official Letter from the Office of the Minister of Foreign Matters
"Dear President Jackson,

It is official policy of the nation of Potty 5 to offer aid to developing countries who grant special considerations for corporate investors who may be risking large sums of money. This aid is to help the country and our own business that are operating in your nation. As you have allowed Acid Vodka Liquors Group limited access to your nation for business, but have denied Katsu-Shin Gambling Houses, and Daji's proposition there is little reason to spread our aid out over more areas that do not help Potty 5.

How ever our nation would be willing to offer the creation of nuclear power facilities, these facilities would be under direct control of the Potty 5 government, more exactly Richard Tunguska the Minister of Energy, Power and Electricity.

The initial plan would be set up at the expense of the Potty 5 government and it would sell electricity. If this is done then you would have to offer Potty 5 a monopoly on the nuclear power industry and not allow any other foreign based entity to infringe on the power market within your nation. Your nation would still be free to produce its own non-nuclear power.

Potty 5 does not help you out of pure goodness but rather because it also helps us. If you wish to expect more aid you must show how this will help the nation of Potty 5. We do not mean to seem selfish but, but the money that Potty 5 invest world wide is money that is not invested in Potty 5, and Potty 5’s people.

As transportation of Acid Vodka Liquors Group's products requires roads, we will offer a $2 billion aid package to help in the construction of roads and railroad tracks that will allow the running of freight.

[General Obnus Rajio’s signature, stamped]
General Obnus Rajio Minister of Foreign Matters”

OOC: Do you have a factbook, map, exc.

We are afraid that Potty Five will find very little work in Rorotravia, in terms of selling of power. The reason for this, is that most people cannot afford to pay for their own food, let alone their power bills, and the only reason why we have paved roads is to encourage people to work hard, for cars. We are very sorry.

We would like to thank Yurka, however we must say that the problem with our nation is that no one can afford to pay for their power. However, all of your other proposed industries will be extremely welcome in Rorotravia, so long as your medical research does not involve Abortion, or Stem Cell research, or Cloning.

OOC: Yes Atruita, you're correct. Rorotravia, I didn't mean to insult you, if that's what you felt. I'm only trying to help. There are many professional rp'ers on the RPU forum that are more than willing to help, provided that you're willing to learn. I've registered for quite a few classes there, and so should you. If you want to gain more respect on NS, that is.

Out of character: what natural resources does your country possess?
