After years of strictly ruling my country economically, I am making efforts to privatise it by raising commerce funding and lowering the tax rate. I am willing to put $20 Billion in a new advertising program encouraging foreign industries to go to the North (Prussiatopia resides in the Arctic).

The economy isn't that bad under centralisation (an average out of all Economic calc's conclude that my GDPPC is around $25,000), but we'd like the country to be more than state-driven propaganda at every street corner. We've already opened up economically in our own region, now we must go to make efforts NS wide.

Yoko Okahijima, President of Prussiatopia.

Pale Rider Arms would be quite willing to build Arcologies in your nation. We would purchase the land from you and build the Arcologies ourselves. These mammoth structures would act as low cost housing as well as contain numerous factories for the production of consumer goods. In case of war, these buildings can also operate as shelters for the civilian populace, as they contain their own independant nuclear reactors, aquaculture and hydroponic farms, and dependable defense systems. All we ask in return is to retain ownership of the buildings, a 110 year lease on the land they occupy, and the right to enforce PRA corporate law on our property. I eagerly await your reply.

Arigato,
Daniel Quetzal
CEO of Pale Rider Arms

Re: Investment

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your sound decision making. This move to promote business and industry within your nation is a welcome step towards greater freedom and prosperity, fundamental values that should be maintained in every nation. We salute you.

Helfaer has many large businesses, mainly dealing in arms, pharmaceuticals, and metallurgy sectors. We would be willing to provide financial incentives for Helfaer businesses to operate in Prussiatopia by adding your nation to our Economic Development Register. These incentives would include reducing corporation tax on businesses with branches in your nation, and removing tariffs on imports from Helfaer-based firms. Our projections indicate that within a year this could create over half a million jobs, significantly boosting the economy of your nation.

Also, in line with your wish to cut taxes, we could assist you by allowing you to send prisoners to Helfaer to serve their sentences rather than staying in your prisons where they would leech money from your hard-working taxpayers. We would also be happy to deal with any prisoners under sentence of death. In exchange, all we ask is that you pay for their transport to Helfaer. This is a token fee simply to cover our transport costs, and will certainly be far cheaper than taking care of them in your own prisons. Our Detention and Rehabilitation Centres will ensure that even your most hardened criminals return as model citizens.

Sincerely,

K. Almarxa, Finance Minister, Helfaer

Hello,
This is Citizen Amara Cruon, Trade Delegate to the Commonalitarianism. We are willing to sell you Flexible Fuel Plug In Hybrid Automobiles, Armored Cars and Trucks, and transport submarines.
The transport submarines are purely for civilian purposes and run at 12 knots all electric. The price for submarines is $3 million for a 40 ton submarine, $6 million for an 80 ton submarine, and $9 million for a 120 ton submarine.
We also wish to open your country to our aquaculture. We have both fine cultured pearls and cultured coral for the beautification of your citizens. Our fish farms offer a wide variety of ocean going fish for your citizens consumption.
As we do not accept embassies on our soil. We only accept cultural, scientific, and trade delegates, we wish to park a 40 ton unarmed submarine in your harbor. Feel free to inspect the submarine. There we hope to conduct trade negotiations in complete privacy.

Best regards,

Trade Delegate, Amara Cruon, Cruon Commerical House, Registered Family Syndicate

Otiga - How much land do you want to purchace?
Helfaer - Yes, we'd like to send prisoners to your land, and will open up our nation to your industries at a lower-than-usual rate of 20% tax, which will decrease as civillian income tax itself decreases. We have about 4,500,000 Prisoners in Prussiatopia. We can pay a maximum of $10 per prisoner, making $45 Million at your disposal for transport organisation. We only spend 1% of our GDP (approx. $570 Billion) on prisoners, but despite this, as I'd like to say, "all the more to go to the commerce budget".
Commonalitarianism - Awesome! We'd like to buy 140 of these 40-ton sub's. I believe this totals to 420 Million USD. All we want on our soil is some of these "aquaculture" production plants, and also a production plant in our capital city (Borderton) to produce lighter, commercial subs (for consumer use).

Thank you all nations assisting our economy!
Yoko O.

This is entirely acceptable. Several transports will arrive to collect prisoners in around three days time, although the movement will take some time due to the sheer numbers involved. Three convoys will arrive every day until the prisoners are all moved.

Meanwhile, one of our largest metallurgy companies, Moerck Heavy Industries, is looking into opening a group of steel plants in your nation. Although it is too early to make a definitive statement, there is every chance that they will begin operating in Prussiatopia.

Also, I once again thank you for your co-operation in this venture.

Once again, don't just ask for mediocre prices such as what you're asking, all outsiders have accessability to a good chunk of the budget. We're willing to give you $100 Billion to open & maintain your operations in Prussiatopia.
Also, we ask you to not go near any major cities. You can build a HQ only in cities with a pop. below 600,000. Thank you.

Fine, you may build these archologies within Prussiatopia. Take a bit from my budget while your at it so long as it doesn't exceed 0.3% of GDP, and it's a minimum of 100 Billion (the restrictions I'm placing on all nations as of now). Thank you.

It has been brought to our attention through our friends in the IH State Department that your nation is looking to expand the amount of foreign investment that there is in the country.

We wholly approve of this move, it shows considerable foresight on behalf of yourself and your advisors in securing your future economic prospects. J Corp is the largest privately owned company in the USIH and we are reponsible for several large projects in co-operation with our own government and that of other friendly governments around the world.

We wish to extend to you the offer of our experience and knowledge in many different areas, but principally in our mining operations. We believe that, if allowed by your government, excavation and survey teams should be allowed to scour the Northern Area of your country for mineral and other valuable deposits that may be hidden beneath the frozen taundra. Recent cold weather exploits in the Holy Empire of Abrams by our teams discovered sizeable deposits of oil as well as small gold reserves that promise to unearth more riches. If such resources were to be uncovered in your land by our excavation teams it would provide a specific boost to your economy.

The only thing that we ask for in return is payment for the excavation work, along with a contract for no less than 50% of any drilling works that come about from discoveries made by our teams.

We also have experts in construction and military services that can be made available to you if you so desire, for an appropriate fee of course.


Sincerly,

Sir Jonathon Hamilton

If you so wish We shall. I will leave it up to you to pick the city of your choice for our Facility. And once again Raven corps Thanks you.

I can sell you the 40 ton submarines for $520 million. We will began work on a production facility for smaller commercial submarines. This will be a new industry for us so it will produce 10 a month initially we have to test the new models. We plan on building two large aquaculture farms on your coastline. It is easier to manage the fish pens this way. We will also build a plant for culturing pearls. I do not see a market for seaweed in your area yet-- nor does it seem like you want a kelp ethanol plant. We thank you for doing business with us.

We've mined our own gold nearly to extinction, but feel free to look around unexploited oilfields. We also still contain one of the largest unexplored areas of Tin and Copper within the Northern Hemisphere.

Now.. HQ.. where would you like your HQ to be in Prussiatopia?
Borderton (pop. 34,000,000) - Pretty little space left in our CBD, you may actually have to build in the outskirts.
Ipu Heights (pop. 32,500,000) - The CBD is having a revamp, take this oppurtunity to get a HQ building (pre-built) while positions are vacant.
Zaing Wong Tao (pop. 24,500,000) - The CBD is still needing buildings to occupy it, plus you get a nice Mountainous view if you build all windows facing to the east.

Also, how much are you wanting paid? Will your employees need parking space? Would you like included in our Business Conference Network? (A link-up of TV's combined with Cam's among a number of Business's for the purpose of having a Muli-Corporate Conference, it's aged technology elsewhere, but we're about in the mid-1980's in term of Tech) Do you want the street surrounding your building named after you?

OOC: Ah, big business. My company has yet to get up running and properly, so I'll advertise for you.

The Macabees' crown company, Kriegzimmer Conglomerates (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=409787), has the new Global Oppurtunity (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10009664&postcount=847) offer (you'll have to scroll down to see it, and specify whether it's a land factory, air factory or naval factory.

We are of course disappointed to here about your nations current lack of gold, however we would be more than willing to continue exploration for the copper and tin deposits that you mention. We at J Corp have a range of technologies for surveying under ice packs and in hazardous terrain.

In answer to the several questions that you posed for us.

1) We would like to place our Headquarters in Zaing Wong Tao. We will begin construction almost immeadiately as soon as our contractors have flights out to Prussiatopia. For the construction of the building we will endeavour to use as much local labour and materials as is possible so as to further develop your economy in that area.

2) On the subject of payment. We feel that a deposit of $2.9 million USD should suffice for initial exploration. We would then charge an additional $2million USD per month of exploration, with at least 6 months needed for a full survey. In addition we would require that J Corp is awarded private contracts for any mining or drilling operations that arise from our exploration. Rates for these contracts can be negotiated at a later stage.

3) We will provide ourselves with a large underground carpark for all of our possible staff and we are interested in joining your Business Conference Network. Perhaps the Technology Sub Department of J Corp can aid you in modernising this system in the future?

4) If it is your wish, we would accept the naming of roads in our honour.


We also have several questions for the Prussiatopian government relating to several matters of interest to us before we begin exploration.

Firstly, what is the current state of security within Prussiatopia and more specifically in the Northern areas where our operatives are likely to be operating.

Secondly, how much local labour would you be expecting for us to contract on the drilling operations.

Thirdly, we wish to be sure that the Prussiatopian Government has no fears about the stability of the region and therefore no security concerns about the Northern Hemisphere area.

All conditions you specified are acceptable. Yes, we would be interested in developing the network further. Perhaps these new "TCP/IP" protocols we've been hearng about could be of use? We've been experementing on it, but so far it's infereor quality to the current communication standards (radio and microwaves) we use. We'd also like to develop a cellphone network (any other nations willing to do this, come on in!).

Our defence budget is Zero, but our main neighbours (TIB and Nerobi) commit nearly their whole budgets to security. Their economies are stronger than mine at the moment, plus we remain good allies. Security needn't be a problem.

We want you to hire at least 2.5 - 7.5% of the local workforce (500,000 - 1.5 Million people), at about 140% -- at the least -- of our current Minimum Wage rate (Min. wage rate is about 3 COINSKE's/$4.65 an hour).

There are no security concerns around the area. We isolated ourselves because of war. Now, we're trying to change this, by putting a brave face and opening ourselves up.

Also, do not let them speak about democracy. We still allow NO POLITICAL COMPETITION, the following expressions are not allowed to be said:
Democracy
Human Rights
Democratics
Democrat
Liberalism
Liberty
Liberal
Liberalisation
Nazism
President
Benevolence

We hope you do comply with our laws. I don't want people to think, just because they are with foreign company, they have freedom from the usual bans on what they're allowed to say.

OOC: Did you see my post, or do I have to make it IC for you?

I did and would prefer if Investment came to me. We're not open enough yet to let that be the other way about.

Bump

the sephrion arms tecjh incorp would like to build 100 weapons labs in your nation said labs would be used for classified research

Okay, so long as you build in the outskirts -- infact, not even that.. I shall restrict you to building in the tunda deserts (that are barren and uninhabited) in the east of my nation. If everything gets too (uhmm*cough*) devious.. like a nuclear arms operation, we will force you to cease operations in our country.

Oh, and Bump!

All J Corp employees will of course comply with these local laws and we find the conditions agreeable. Skilled labour will of course be highly valued and we endeavour to use as much local labour as is possible.

Whilst we do not ourselves provide a cellnetwork facility we can put you in touch with other companies from the USIH that can provide such a service to you with systems we know are compatible to our own.


HQ Construction will begin at once and our exploration teams will be flying in with their lighter equipment within two days. The J Corp icebreaker Window of Oppurtunity, carrying their heavy equipment, will rendevous with them as soon as it arrives in the area where the base camp will be set up. We will, of course, give you regular progress reports on our operations as well as any problems that may occur.
