In the quite country lands of South West Kurona a major operation had been going on. A quest to find oil. Most in the Government dismissed possible rich oil well as foolish. But Kurona was still importing a lot, and was still quite heavily in debt.

David Feelix a disgruntald young farmer, was the man behind the madness. His farm was struggling, his young wife was already pregnate, and expceting soon, he need something. When he was diging he struck a samll oil pocket. He has been searching and searching for months.

Annemarie, his wife, was growing impatient. "David. You have searched for months. We have nothing to havest, and no way to make money. Please just give it up."

"I know it's here someplace, we'll find it."

His crew of only five we're also losing hopes. They all ptiched in for a major oil drill, and so did their neighbors.

"David" Said Kyo Takanichi "I'm packing it in for the night, and going home."

"Give it up, man." Joseph Cambell said.

Most began to murmur in agreement, when a rumble occured.

Suddenly black liquid erupted from the rig. All men raced to cap it quickly.

"I don't belive it."

Everyone cheered. "WE STRUCK OIL Baby!"



And now several weeks and Government contracts later it was time for the nation to offer it's oil. While Princess Tomoyo insted on keeping it for continues production of the Kurona (As it's very locked in Past Technology)
The Order and Cabinate felt to solve it's economic stress they must sell sell sell. While keeping plenty for themeselves.


NATIONS: We offer you a great stock of oil. We will start pricing at $12.98 A barrel, but this price may go down if production can increase.

Pythogria wonders why you need lots of oil. Why not use hydrogen?

Rethink that question. Not every country has the financial means or tecnology to use hydrogen. Besides what would Kuorna use it for, they are a more Old Tech Nation (Basically it's old Tech in a Modern world)

True, true. It's just that if you CAN, why not use hydrogen? At least you can recycle plastic.

New Feluca would like to be the first to congratulate your nation on its discovery. We would also like to offer an initial contract. We would like to have 700,000 barrels shipped per-day to the port of Eastside in New Feluca.

That's an annual price of $3,316,390,000 for 255,500,000 barrels.

Approved

Excellent.

Uh, unless you are post-modern, you will not be using hydrogen yet. The shift from oil to hydrogen will be a mammoth undertaking and one you can't do in a few years. You would have to rewire your entire nation so that it works with hydrogen not oil. That and the logistics of it, considering its different from oil, will be far different and the end product is that don't expect shifting to hydrogen unless PMT or late-MT.

Well, or if you started different than other human civilizations.

And I RP 2015, as you know.

OOC: Jesus christ man. Not everyone wants to tech wank like you do, alright? Now bugger off and let the man RP how he wants.

TDRoH would like to place an order of 2 million barrels for a total of $25,960,000.
We are willing to pay extra for faster shipping, we are running out of oil.

OOC: Jesus christ man. Not everyone wants to tech wank like you do, alright? Now bugger off and let the man RP how he wants.

OOC: Here, I am NOT tech-wanking. Hydrogen is a good fuel. And of course I'll let him RP how he wants. I hgaven't declared war on Franberry for using oil, have I?

I shall consider purchasing some oil! Hydrogen! I'm a modern-nation (21st Cent) but seem to us not much resources, we are turning slightly enviromentalist!

ENCODED MESAGE:

Hello!
I am speaking to you on behalf of the Questarian Conglomerate 'Questarian AErospace' Plc. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=472461) We are an extremely large Questarian Firm that supplies the Questarian Royal Navy with almost all its equipment and supplies. We would, therefore, be interested in your oil.

Therefore, we are offering your small budding nation the deal of a lifetime. Your ancestors will look back and see your government as the one that began to make Kuronans rich.

We therefore propose to buy 50 billion barrels of oil for seven hundred and fifty billion USD. This price is at 15 dollars per barrel, so you can see that we are offering more than you asked for.

We don't want 50 billion barrels today, obviously, but this means that you will keep sending us oil until the oil dries up, or you have exported us 50 billion barrels. If the oil dries up before 50 billion barrels, we will not expect our money back. We will raise our price to 800 billion USD for our exports to be of top priority, meaning you must export all 50 billion barrels to us first before you start selling them to other nations.

In addition, QAE is a highly influential firm, and we can manage to secure a deal with the Questarian government, the holder of one of the largest navies in the world, to defend your country should any foreign nations see it fit to assault it.

What do you say to our proposal?

Wow what a proposal. All right we will accept. Fortunatly we can burn lamps on most kinds of oil (Veggie, olive) although patrollum provides the best light of course. Thank you for your great and wonderful offer.
