Deserted Territories Land Reclamation Services

Has part of your nation, or any land you own, been devastated by an enemies attack, natural disaster, or sinister company? Have your rivals blown turbulent holes into the once tranquil country side of your nation? Has a Tsunami or other natural disaster scarred the face of your land? Or has a private company with private goals ripped up your precious land for something as petty as coal or oil? Well, if it has, contact the DT Reclamation Services.

We use age-old techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to restore your land to its former beauty. Though the charges vary depending on the amount of damage, no price is too high to repair your pockmarked and ugly landscape, right? DT Reclamation deals with a variety of such troubles, saving you the money of buying all-new equipment to do a job no one in your nation can do properly anyways.

DT Reclamation can fix:
- damage done by natural disaster; such as earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, ext.
- damage done by man-made disaster; such as spilt oil, fires, collapsed buildings, ext.
- damage done by humans; such as strip mining, abandoned quarries, ext.
- damage done by assaults; charred earth, craters, missing cities*, blood stains, ext.
- damage done by nuclear fallout
* cannot replace missing cities but will remove rubble and level terrain.
note: DTR can supply construction crews at a pre-negotiated price.

Prices vary in each category depending on the extent of the damage. The extent of damages are classified into four general levels.
Level 1: Minimal Damage; scorched trees, cracked pavement, exterior damage to buildings, ext.
Level 2: Medium Damage; uprooted trees, destroyed roads, damage to exterior/interior of buildings, ext.
Level 3: Large Damage; missing trees, scattered roads, missing parts of/ missing buildings, ext.
Level 4: Devastating Damage; barren, leveled landscape, disintegrated roads, nothing to be found of buildings that once dwarfed the Empire State Building, ext.
Note: If you report the wrong amount of damage knowingly, and the reclamation team discovers this upon arrival, you will be charged a 10% penalty on the new price.

Prices

Penalties and Discounts
If it is a smaller order, I wish you could do your own math, however, if were talking large-scale, I’d be more than happy to talk it out with you to asses the damage, and, depending on the total charges, see to any further discounts you could receive. Since DT Reclamation has set out to help people, the following discounts may be used:
Allies: 5%**
Emerging Nations (150 million pop. Or less): 5%
Hurt Nations (10 Billion Dollar order or more): 10%
Battered Nations (25 Billion Dollar order or more): 20%
Devastated Nations (50 Billion Dollar order or more): 30%
** even though I give allies a discount, I do not penalize or deny service to enemies, unless I am currently at war with them.
Note: You only get the best discount, they do not add up.***

Teams will be sent to site within 72 hours of receiving payment. DTR transports will transport them to the nearest accessible runway and they will travel to the site immediately. By supplying police escorts you can hurry their progress to ground zero.
ALL DTR service convoys travel with armed guards.
If you have any questions direct them my way.

Deserted Territories Land Reclamation Insurance Program

Do you have lots of enemies? Are you constantly on edge waiting for the next bomb to fall or the next volcano to erupt? Have a horrible feeling your about to be glassed? Well, you can insure your nation is restored to its former glory at a minimum of cost by buying DTR Insurance today!

Policies
You will only recieve the discount if you are documented here, so make sure your name is here if you buy it. You can only use a policy once, after that you may re-instate it for 25% of the original price or lose it forever. In addition, you can upgrade and existing insurance discount for the price of the new discount minus the price of the old discount. We will not refund money to you if you downgrade: this is not a bank for you to store money in, I belive DMG runs an excellent extablishment to that end though.

Greetings. The Kraven Corporation turned an entire continent that used to belong to us into radioactive glass. We would like to enquire into the price needed for Land Reclamation Services.

Well, that would definetly fall under level 4, how big is the continet?

Well, that would definetly fall under level 4, how big is the continet?

About 1.5 times the size of Australia. Actually, not really worth the probable cost at this time.

Let me look some things up and i'll get back to you with the final price.

First i gotta change some things here. Why'd i use acres?! I;m switching to kiliometers (they're biger and easier to calculate.)

your total comes too $57,617,250,000
Add in your discounts (im changing these after this, there too low, everyone will be getting discounts) which is the Devestated Nation and you get:
(as a grand total) the low price (trust me, for land reclamation this is bank robbery) $28,808,625,000
Should you choose to accept this offer Land reclamation teams wil arrive at the local airport in 72 NS hours.

Er... there's no local airport. When I say he glassed the entire continet, I mean all of it. There's nobody left there. I mean, you could probably find a flat spot to land, though. And, as I said before, I'm not really sure it's worth it at this time. Perhaps is I end up experiencing overcrowding, but I don't really have the people to put there at this time.

Should you change your mind we'll still be here. And, for future reference, lets just say they'd arrive at the closest airport to said "glasssed" continent.

Hi,

I'd like to prebook land reclimation, do you offer an insurance program?

For instance if I put in x billion yearly can I be covered for some other ammount? Just wondering..

at the least ICCD will put in 100 billion investment in your business upfront. ICCD is geussing eventually ICCD will be attacked and not completely annihilate it's enemy and suffer some damage so we may as well start a tab.

Thats a good idea. I'll start writting something up.

OCC: Hey DT, thats not a half bad idea you got there, orginal at least. Too bad I have the trade emargo on you, or I would have hired you;)

Alright, i've added the insurance program, ICCD i'll give you a discount on insurance since it was your idea, 15% or something.
to The PeoplesFreedom: what do you know, it did come back to bite me in the but! :headbang:
I'll be updateing it later with the option to be covered later for a larger amount by paying a smaller amount now. I'll come up with an equation that'll calculate that, and leave a spot saying how much certain people are covered for.

okay, i've updated all the insurance program stuff and fixed pretty much all the typos. If you have any sugestion send them my way, i might be getting rid of the discount policys later anyways.

Don't let my beautifull idea die with your mean ignoring behaviors please.

Greetings,

Our second largest city Turkan has been completely leveled by a a 11 magnitude earthquake that caused a massive tsunami that destroyed 90% of the city.

It's approximately 39,191 square miles in size, and housed close to 43 million residents. Nothing is left in it's place except rubble from buildings as tall as 3,00ft high.

I'd also like to discuss an insurance policy for our largest city, before a disaster decides to level it as well.

Signed,
Emperor Jovan Norris

Maraque, That rounds to 63 kilometers, and i'd say that's a level 4 under Natural Disastor ($2,000). Coming to a total of $126,000. That will send a crew over immediatly that will remove all the rubble, fill in the broken earth, and replace the washed-out topsoil. Leaving you a level field where you can begin reconstrcuting, or, for an additionl $200 per sq. kilometer, you can have the whole are re-forested and turned into a park.
If you accept, the crew will arrive in 72 NS hours, and complete the project in 6 NS months.
As for your insurance, you may select the discount variety by choosing your level of discount (can get you a huge bargain with a bit of risk), or by using this folmula: Insurance Coverage- insures you up to x amount- (use following formula): x - (.15)x = cost, for a garunteed amount.
It has been a pleasure doing buisness with you. just confirm the reclamation order and pick an insurance policy.

OOC:

39,191 sq mi = 101,504.224 sq km

$2,000 x 101,504.224 = $203,008,448. :p

IC:

Greetings,

That's acceptable. It's been a pleasure doing business with you. I look forward to your crews arrival.

The crews are on their way.
I hope you enjoy your new land.

And do you still want an insurance policy?

Yes, but we're unsure as to which one at the moment.

The bump at the top of the page was impressive. I like the creativity.

We would like to contract your services in advance. It is highly likely that the entire Hatarian controlled country of Algeria will be destroyed in the very near future though military action. We expect most major cities to be leveled and most of the infrastracture to be destroyed. You would need to provide security, as it is highly likely that most of the Mer des Ennuis Army will be re-deployed to Spain soon after. We will pay extra for this. Would you be further interested in providing reconstruction services? How much?

I can have the crews standing-by and ready to reclamate. I will take your advice and send extra secuirity at no cost to you. About the price for reclamation, i will need to know approxiamtly how much land would be destroyed and how badly. As for reconstruction, I can send engineers, equipment, and a small work-force as a special order. I'm not sure how much the recosturction service will cost yet, but i assume somewhere around 1 million for the whole project.

Bob Dole bought my apartment.

Since combat operations have not begun yet, we cannot say. We anticipate all major cities to be heavily damaged, and much of the desert to be glassed (not necessarily by nukes). This is a rather large task, seeing as the country is 2,381,740 sq km (according to the CIA). Would you be willing to flat it (price wise) as a level 2 or 3 disaster (much of the country will be better, alot will be worse), at, say, $2,381,740,000, maybe double that with major reconstruction operations?

Taken a look at the insurance program is the payment a one off to cover the discount prior to need of reclaiming? Or is it annually paid?

Also once I use the reclaimation services, in the first case (one off precoverage) does that then nullify the prebooking meaning any future reclaimations are at full price?

Or is it the case that the ammount for insurance is paid annually and ALL reclaimations for that year have the full discount?

One flat price.
You may pick and choose which reclamations you use your policy on. So you don't neccessarily nullify the policy after your first order.
You may have multiple policys.

If you wish to work out a different agreement, I'm sure we could come up with something.


Mer des Ennuis:
Flating the price at a level 3 is perfectly acceptable.
If you pay $2,500,000,000 for the reclamation, plus double that with the constrution, you will qualify for the Hurt Nation dicount (15%) and your new total would be $4,250,000,000, saving you roughly $700 million. We appreciate your buisness, so please, accept these savings.

We'll take one of each insurance policy.

Ok, that sounds like a fair deal. We'll flat the initial $5,000,000,000 (seeing as it isn't our nation that will be hurt) now. In the event the war actually occurs, we will pay a bonus of $320,000,000,000 in stages to help with unantipcated costs. (note: this is under the amount spent in Iraq right now. We do not anticipate an insurgency, since, unlike the US, we do not pussfoot and would rather just CE everything to the ground and kill the survivors).

Okoay, crews are await your instruction to begin (after the attack of course)

ICCD-Intracircumcordei']We'll take one of each insurance policy.
So all these:
Bump & Bruise Insurance- 5% discount- $500,000,000
Minimal Insurance- 10% discount- $1,000,000,000
Standard Insurance- 15% discount- $1,500,000,000
Premium Insurance- 25% discount- $2,500,000,000
Extended Insurance- 50% discount- $5,000,000,000

And, Insurance Coverage- insures you up to x amount- (use following formula): x - (.15)x = cost (specify amount)


Or just one discount poicy and one coverage policy?

Evening Bump

Sorry about my un-imaginative bumps.

So how much is the full coverage at your highest discount rating, in a preorder?

The highest discount would be 50% for $5,000,000,000.

BUMP
Ewww, "dark orange" who thought up that color.

seeing as the RP fell through, we will pay the agreed price of 5 billion, and you may order your crews to stand down. We hope to do business with you in the future.

Alight, thank you.

In the name of bloodshed nuke each other and hire me! Please!

Deserted Territories, you are just whom I'm looking for. Several years ago a province of mine Dinsmer rebeled. When my army and the Dinsmer army clashed in Brena, the provincial capital, my army that relied on brute force did serious damage to the city and surrounding area. 12,000 sq km of land was turned into this:

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n220/Neo-Erusea/Brena1.jpg
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n220/Neo-Erusea/Brena2.jpg
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n220/Neo-Erusea/Brena3.jpg

I'm pretty sure this would be level 3 so it would cost 12,000,000 USD. However you may check to see if it would fall under this category. Perhaps you can restore roads, remove rubble, and repair lightly damaged buildings (there are a couple). Good day and I hope you can help restore the city.

Level three looks perfect and your calculations are correct.
Crews are on their way. May your new land serve you well.
Predicted completion, 2 years.

In light of the recent outbreak of wars, I'm sure there are loads of people in need of reclamation, so, come one people, here I am.

The Armed Republic of Neo-Erusea is pleased at the results of our city, Brena, and wish to purchase Premium Insurance for $2,500,000,000.

Neo-Erusea, transaction confirmed, you're on the list for premium insurance.

The entire nation of blainseville. Not sure how big it is, but i'm sure its of fairly decent size. Name your price. Same as the hatarian deal in terms of security, and you'd be responsible for some corpse disposal. We'll pay extra. Name your price, payment up front.

Yes, blainseville will be in need of serious rebuilding. Any idea how big it is? Probably pretty small. Since the are a CA member, and an emerging nation, plus they will be completely ahnihilated, and because you seem to care about them, whole thing, corpeses and all, for $325 billion.

Payment upfront; and, realizing corruption is necessary, I'd hope a billion or so would be kicked back to appropriate authorities ;P. Same deal as last time, money will be wired over the next year or so.

It's been a pleasure.

In light of the huge wars that (to my knowledge) only ended recently, you know, the ones invlolving BC and all that, i'm reactivating this thread for all you nations that got glassed, and I know you're out there.

So, the Benevolent Undying Paternal Order of the Elks compells you to buy my services!

Since the death of DT, I have founded DTR, which is the same nation under a different name. I will once again be opening the shop and hopefully pounding out any bugs in it.

EDIT: Scratch that, I won't be opening up untill im sure I can't get my old nation back. If I get my account back, I'll open up shop here, but if I can't i'll start a new thread.
