OOC-This is my first RP. Have I done good on it? Also, I believe OOC means out of character, right?

In the lands of Egypt, the period of the ''Greek Pharoahs'' was going on with the reign of Pharoah Demetrios II. The Pharoah, Demetrios II lived in the city of Demetriana, named after his father, Pharoah Demetrios I (known as the Greek). Pharoah Demetrios II decided to leave isolationism and open diplomacy with other nations. He and Minister Zazamoukh went to the scribes and they told them to write down this-

''To the nations of the world,
The Empire of Egypt has been in isolation for some time in the reign of Pharoah Demetrios II. He has decided to pull up the anchor of isolationism and to sail into diplomacy with other nations. Egypt seeks to open diplomatic relations with other nations. Henceforth, we ask that other nations open diplomacy with Egypt. It would be appreciated if diplomatic relations were opened.''

Minister Zazamoukh sent messengers to deliver this message to other nations, hoping that nations would open diplomatic relations with Egypt.

To our Brother Nation of Pharonic Egypt:

With great pleasure the nation of Eonopolis, home of Spanoism, has decided to open full diplomatic relations with your nation.

Please consider also joining our region "Eonopolis the Beautiful" to see the greatness of Spanoism and Eonopolis for yourself.

Sincerely,

The Dear and Eternal Leader General Dante Spano

Long live Eonopolis! Long live General Spano! Long live the Brother Nation of Pharonic Egypt!

Minister Zazamoukh recieved the letter of Eonopolis while doing some work. He read it over and then had a reply sent-

''To Eonopolis,
Egypt welcomes your offer of diplomacy. We wish that an embassy exchange, trade agreements and so on can be opened between our nations. We will consider joining your region also.''

A messenger to Eonopolis was sent with the reply.

OOC: Yes, OOC means out-of-character. IC means in-character.

IC:

Recieving the message from Pharonic Egypt, the Supreme General Khonsu Izakabad replied with the following:

"We applaud your return from isolationism, and would like to ask a few questions about your nation before we apply for an embassy.

OOC: No problem.

IC:

Pythogria wishes to apply for an embassy within Egyptian borders. We also have an offer for you.

Being a new nation, I'd assum,e you need an army, correct?

Well, you can buy it from us, at 50% off.

The Egyptian Empire accepts an embassy exchange with Pythogria. Also, a army would be good as we are building ours up. May diplomatic relations between us be strengthened.

Well, what do you need for your armies? We offer assualt rfles, sidarms, armor, MBTs, HBTs, IFV/APCs, Cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers.

We require the basics mainly but advanced things would be appreciated.

The President of Witoslawski Syndicates, Alexander J.C. Witoslawski, would be more then happy to open relations with Pharonic Egypt.

However, his bill that is to open relations with Egypt is still in the Syndicate Consul.

Nevertheless, A.J.C. Witoslawski has sent a personal letter to the leader of Pharonic Egypt:

Witoslawski Syndicates is looking towards improving relations with all and opening up economic possibilites. As soon as a bill recognizing Pharonic Egypt and establishing relations with it passes the Syndicate Consul, we will be sending money, arms, food, advisors, engineers, and other forms of aid.

If Pharonic Egypt accepts, we wish to establish a Syndicate in your nation. This Syndicate would:

Flood your national coffers with more money.
Improve the economical standing of hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of your workers who work at the Syndicate.
Offer you various discounts on military weapons.
Improve relations with Witoslawski Syndicates.
Drive your economy (more people with more money = greater consumerism = bigger economy).

To learn more about this, visit our storefront.

We hope you will take us up on our offer.

Sincerely,
Alexander J.C. Witoslawski

The URL of our storefront is in my sig.

Egypt would like to open relations with your nation and would like more info on what a Syndicate is. Thank you for your time.

The 'Diplomatic Relations with Pharonic Egypt Resolution' has just passed the Consul, 846 to 150 (four abstained).

With this resolution, Witoslawski Syndicates has officially opened a diplomatic relationship with Pharonic Egypt.

A Syndicate is a factory in a given nation that is owned by Witoslawski Syndicates. In a Syndicate, the workers vote for their own managerial staff (the runners have to be qualified in certain fields though), earn money more closely representing the value of the products they make, and take part in direct decision making.

In a Syndicate, the workers own (collectively through the Trade-Labor Union) 75% of the shares. This, naturally, will make the workers richer. Some benefits of this to you will be:

The workers will be happier, and thus, less likely to revolt.
The workers will earn more, and because of this, they will be able to spend more, driving your economy.
These workers will pay bigger income taxes, making your national coffers fat.


However, there are rules to opening a Syndicate.

They can be found at my storefront thread:
Also, Witoslawski Syndicates is looking towards opening Syndicates in several nations for the production of various military and civilian products. Any nation that grants us land to do this will automatically receive 5% share of that given Syndicate. Lastly, every Syndicate improves your nation economy as it increases the income of the average worker and helps improve nation democracy.

Rules for opening a Syndicate on your territory:
There are some rules that apply when you wish to open a Syndicate on your territory. These are:

You must provide the land of your own free will. There will be no payment from Witoslawski Syndicates to your nation for it.
The land on which the Syndicate operates on officially belongs to the nation-state of Witoslawski Syndicates. Witoslawski Syndicates laws, rules, and juristiction apply to these lands.
Your national/regional/provincial/city rules, laws, and juristiction do not apply to the Witoslawski Syndicates land on your territory. Do not worry, this is only for socio-political-economical purposes, so that we can freely operate with our Syndicalist Union, industrial elections, et cetera. The same rules apply to airports (international territory) and embassies (territory of the nation that that embassy represents), so you need not worry, we promise.
When at war with another nation that has Witoslawski Syndicates operating within it, you promise not to bomb, destroy, or in any other way molest or harm the territories of Witoslawski Syndicates in that nation.


However, by agreeing to these terms, you will have several benefits, including:

Five per cent of the profit made by the Syndicate on your territory will go to your national coffers.
Seventy-five percent of the profit made by the Syndicate on your territory will go to the workers who work in the Syndicate, meaning that more people will be able to consume more things, driving your economy forward.
You will experience great relations with Witoslawski Syndicates, and perhaps you will be lucky enough to receive a discount when buying our weapons (after negotiation).
If anything ever happens to the Syndicate and it shuts down, this land will be returned to your nation and your nation's juristiction.


These rules are definately worth it, though.

If you agree to open a Syndicate, you will have greater national spending capabilities, a happier and richer proletariat, and a great economy.*

Just for you, Witoslawski Syndicates will ship 1,000 units of Abakan Assault Rifles (also can be found on my storefront) and we will send (if you wish) 500 Arditi, or elite special forces that will protect your nations capital and the Syndicate.

--
*Please note that this does not take affect on your NS nation, but rather on your RPing capablities. If need be, while RPing, refer to me.

OOC-Thanks for the info and all that, WS. I think we can be good friends.

IC-The Pharoah of Egypt has decided to accept a Syndicate in Egyptian lands. We request it built around the lands of Morrocco and we request that you could give us 1,000 units of Abakan Assault Rifles and 500 Arditi. We look forward to a great diplomatic friendship between Egypt and the Syndicate.

We require the basics mainly but advanced things would be appreciated.

Well, here are specs for our stuff.

---Infantry---

ZS-1 Infantry Battlesuit

Name: ZS-1 Infantry Battlesuit

Manufacturer: ZefTec

Hieght: Depends, comes in sizes for different soldiers.

Weight: Depends, but between 10-14 lbs

Armor: The ZS-1 uses a layer of fabric, then Kevlar, then Aerogel (a strong, light substance that looks like solid smoke) then insulators, to protect soldiers from not only bullets and fragmentation grenades, but from dirt, the cold, and heat as well. It also has elbow/knee pads made of polymers.

Sensors: The ZS-1 ses a VIOLA-Mini computer to run sensors all over the soldier's body. His/Her helmet's visor will help with targeting and asess threats. It even contains a small radar.

---Tanks/Other Vehicles---

XM-1 Main Battle Tank

Name: XM-1 Main Battle Tank

Hieght: 6 feet

Wieght: 82 tons

Length: 18 feet

Armament: For a primary weapon, the XM-1 uses a "Bolter" 120mm smoothbore ETC to fling shells at incredible velocities. For a secondary armament, it uses two .50 caliber coaxial machine guns, two .50 caliber machine guns on the roof, and two AT missile launchers for... long-range AT purposes, of course. The top machine guns each have an aerogel "bubble" over them, to protect against bullets, and the missiles can be reloaded from INSIDE the tank. All this uses third-generation autoloaders.

Armor: The XM-1 utilizes amorphous metal (metal wih no discernable pattern in atomic arrangement), to full effect, sandwiching it between two plates of ceramics, and covering it with triple-hardness steel. This allows it to withstand all but the toughest of attacks, but it is a bit heavy. The armor is sloped 80 degrees on the glaxis, 60 on the turret, 40 on the sides, but only 30 at the back. It's also 4 inches thick.

Sensors/Electronics: The XM-1 uses the Great Eye sensor sytstem (cameras, IR, etc.), and the VIOLA supercomputer for targeting, emergencyt intervention, and stuff like that.

Engine: The XM-1 uses a 3,000 horsepower engine capable of pulling it along roads at 40mph. It runs on either biodiesel, ethanol, or normal diesel.

XS-1 Supertank

Name: XS-1 Supertank

Manufacturer: ZefTec

Hieght: 8 feet

Weight: 160 tons

Length: 28 feet

Armament: The XS-1 uses two truly fearsome "Kaiser" 140mm ETCs to increase either it's rate of fire or power. (either fire one at a time, or at once). These are VERY heavy but serve the tank well. It also has THREE (Yes, three) coaxial .50 caliber machine guns. (One on each side of the two main guns, plus one in the middle). It also has four machine guns on the roof, again that use Aerogel domes. This one has four AT missile launchers. Again, third-generation autoloaders.

Armor: The XS-1 uses the same armor as the XM-1 except it is 6 inches thick instead of 4 inches thick. (Thus it uses amorphous metal (metal wih no discernable pattern in atomic arrangement) between two plates of ceramics, with a triple-hardness steel covering.) It is sloped 80- degrees at the glaxis, 60 at the turret, 40 on the side, and only 30 at the back.

Sensors/Electronics: The XS-1 utilizes the Great Eye (camera, IR, etc) sensor system, and a VIOLA supercomputer for targeting and other stuff like that.

Engine: The XS-1 uses the same engine as the XM-1, but a lot bigger, putting out 6,000 horsepower. It runs on biodiesel, diesel, and ethanol.

XC-1 APC/IFV

Name: XC-1 APC "Special Delivery"

Manufacturer: ZefTec

Armor: The armor used on the XC-1 is amorphous metal between two plates of ceramics coated with triple-hardness steel. It is sloped at a 45-degree angle on all sides.

Armaments: The XC-1 is an APC/IFV, so it has to defend itself. It uses a .50 caliber machine gun on a turret. The soldiers inside can also use special firing ports, and six .50 caliber machine guns point out the sides.

Engine:The XC-1 uses the same engine as the tanks, at 3,000 horsepower.

Electronics/Sensors:The XC-1 uses the VIOLA class supercomputer for targeting (for the machine gun) radar, and emergency intervention. It also uses the standard Great Eye sensor system.

Crew: The XC-1 carries 2 crew members, plus the possibility of 10 soldiers.

---The Navy---

VC-1 Aircraft Carrier

Length: 800 meters

Hieght: 100 meters

Beam: 150 meters

Draught: 25 meters

Hull: Trimaran (other two hulls only serve as stabilizers)

Armor: The VC-1 uses titanium, vanadium, aluminum, amorphous steel, and ballistic ceramics as armor. The torpedo belt crumples though- yo ucan't stop them, so it's better to absorb them.

Armament: The VC-1 is equipped with 48 CIWS guns, 24 VLS SAMs, and 18 Steel Lightning Anti-Air Missiles. They use Majar High-Fire Rate technology to lunch one after another very fast. The Bald Eagle carries a lot of ammunition to supply these.

Propulsion & Power: The Bald Eagle uses four MHD engines to propel itself at 35 knots. It is powered by six nuclear reactors.

Electronics/Sensors: Like all other Pythogrian vehicles, the VC-1 uses VIOLA supercomputers and the Great Eye Sensor System.

Aircraft: The Bald Eagle can carry 450 VTOL aircraft because it uses elevators to make sure as many aircraft as possible can be launched safely. To launch, doors on top open like an automatic door you may find in a supermarket, and craft launch vertically.

VB-1 Battleship

Length: 800 meters

Height: 98 meters

Beam: 300 meters

Draught: 22 meters

Hull: Trimaran (other hulls are just smaller main hulls)

Armor: he VB-1 uses titanium, vanadium, aluminum, amorphous steel, and ballistic ceramics as armor. Of course, the torpedo belt just crumples. Yo ucan't stop torps.

Armament: The VB-1 uses four 26 inch ETC guns, one on the front and back of the main hull, and one in the center of each other hull. It has six 24 inch ETC guns, behind and inf ront of the outer hull 26 inch guns, and four on the main hull, behind (or in front of for the back gun) and left and right of the larger guns on the front and back. It has 20 Majar missile launchers, and 16 Zergul anti-ship missile launchers. It carries a lot of ammunition. It also carries torpedoes (!) for use against submarines and other ships, and six helicopters.

Egypt accepts the gift of Pythogria and awaits the people of the Syndicate to build a syndicate in Egyptian lands.

The Federal Republic of Bonstock is very interested in opening up trade and diplomatic links between ourselves and Pharonic Egypt.

Our ambassador, Jack Davis, is currently en route to set up an embassy in your country.

The Federal Republic is very interested in securing the use of the Suez Canal for Bonstocknian naval use, and the Bonstocknian Air Force would greatly appreciate the use of bases in Pharonic Egypt in order to base KC-10 refueling aircraft, along with the use of Pharonic Egypt's airspace by Bonstocknian bombers, fighters, and cargo aircraft. In exchange, the Bonstocknian military will offer training to Pharonic Egyptian officers and will pledge to defend the country if it is ever attacked.

The Egyptian Empire would like to open diplomatic relations with Bonstock. We will accept all of the terms like the training of officers but we will consider the Suez Canal terms.

On behalf of the Federal Republic, our nation thanks you. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with Pharonic Egypt.

Egypt looks forward to the same.

Pharonic Egypt, long live your nation!
