The Founding of a Nation

The Aslanic Mountains
22-10-2006, 16:56
Buried deep in the dim grey terrain of the Aslanic Mountains stood the central government building of the old province of Gafeur. The evening sky was picturesque, the sun setting between two mountain peaks with snow beginning to fall, touching upon the dim grey rock that was the foundation for the new nation of The Aslanic Mountains.

The leaders of the old nations of Gafeur and Aslania sat in a room together by a fireplace, hunched over a piece of off white paper. Dressed formally with top buttons and ties slackened, jackets removed, they talked quietly with an air of importance about them. John N Harolds scrawled on the paper, before handing over the heavy ornate looking fountain pen to Stanley Farthing. He paused, hovering over the place he was meant to sign. He glanced up at Harolds who looked back, catching each others eyes for a moment before he scrawled his name also.

Harolds picked up the piece of paper, and took Farthing by the hand.

-----------

Today is the day that the peoples of Gafeur, and the peoples of Aslania come together. Today is the day that will change the history of our region, restoring stability and ending a conflict fought for a whole ten years. Before me I have a piece of documentation, signed by myself, former President of Aslania, John N Harolds and Leader of Gafeur Stanley Farthing, outlining the legislative process and system of government by which the new state of The Aslanic Mountains shall adopt.

The situation was a curious one. Two nations with two conflicting views and in complete contrast to each other combining to form a nation who's beauty and perfection was worthy of commendation.

However, one thing was apparent, and in urgent need of a solution. Despite an abundance of military armaments and power, it had little arable land and other resources. Capitalist and rich, they had a lot to offer. However, what they lacked could ruin them.

The Allied States of The Aslanic Mountains asks the world for trade and allies in these early stages.

The Arms Industry is our one major business. We have no need for any support in this area other than co-operation on research projects.

Food imports are, however, welcomed.

The Socialist Republic of Montegrande wishes to begin trade and diplomatic relations with The Aslanic Mountains. As most of the economy is run or subventioned by a gigantic public sector, the Socialist Republic asks the people of Aslanic Mountains about the needs of the importing activity of the country. About diplomatic relations, the Socialist Republic offers to begin an embassy exchange between both nations.

Manuel Salvatierra, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Socialist Republic of Montegrande.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

As president of the montegrandean grandest uranium mining enterprise, Jaguar Uranium Co., even when it is tightly regulated by the government, the needs of a growing sector and the potential of the uranium mining allows us to offer buying the 30% of the uranium mining sector in the Aslanic Mountains and is our purpose knowing if that is possible and the value the owners of that part would ask for that business.

Manuel Rodríguez, President of Jaguar Uranium co., Montegrande

A diplomatic exchange seems like a good deal on both sides. We agree to your terms and send the attached package out to you. Trade is also welcomed, and we have a huge Arms Industry, as well as Uranium mining sector. We can export these two goods in return for food and general raw materials such as steel and iron.

Many thanks,

First Minister J N Harolds
First Minister S Farthing


*Attachment*
There are currently two main places for you requested embassy to be situated. These are the two capital's of each of the old provinces, Halifi and Lighton. They are similar in many ways, with the crucial difference of being the home of one group in The Aslanic Mountains. We would like to remind you under the new statute these two groups are equals, and the position of your embassy shall not affect relations with groups in any way. Central government building is not located in either city.

We expect to hear from you soon.

Greetings from Elyria-Lorain!

Duchess Priscilla d'Avignon-Elyrie has noted your request for importation of food to your nation. We here in Elyria-Lorain are a primarily agricultural country with some 600,000 square miles under cultivation. As our land is blessed with a near-perfect climate and rich soils, we can provide you with virtually any grain, fruit, vegetable or animal food-stuffs. You can either provide us with a manifest of your needs or we can send our representative to your country to meet with you personally.

I am afraid we have only one area in which we can set up such an area. We would also offer the training of your forces too, due to our natural speciality in combat within a mountainous environment, we think this could be beneficial to you.

We await your reply.

We think both nations could benefit greatly from this deal. We need a lot of all sorts to make up for the demand we now face. Anything we can offer in return will be offered, and if you feel it necessary a personal meeting could be arranged.

Thank you for the offer, we await your reply.

Lacking mountains in Ponbridge (being an island city state) our troops are in dire need of training in rough terrain.

Our consumer goods include televisions, computers, refridgerators (for storing all that food that nations have offered to import), and portable electrical generators to power all that stuff.

So we have a deal?

OOC: I'm starting to like RP'in
The Aslanic Mountains
23-10-2006, 12:07
We do indeed have a deal. The training area is being set-up as we speak, and instructors sorting out training programmes. The location will be ready for use within four months and we will be able to accomodate 4,000 troops at a time.

Consumer goods would be good to have in our nation, although we are concerned about prices and the economy. We are offering you instead the chance to set-up your business here. We can assign you land free of charge for manufacturing and land to sell your goods. This way, goods should be cheaper for the people of The Aslanic Mountains. Corporation tax will be charged, although not for the first year. You may accept this offer of just export your goods overseas.

Yours,

First Minister J N Harolds
First Minister S Farthing

EDIT: You can improve the offer also if you so wish.

Within the nation of Pontbridge we have a large corporation conglomerate called "Gorillatech" which provides very much everything in Pontbridge. Heavy laws govern their conduct within our nation including the 20% ownership by the Republic of Pontbridge.

We would be happy to allow Gorillatech to move in to your nation. They will be regulated to use local Aslanic labour and also to keep reinvesting money in the Aslanic Mountains for the next three years.

We await your response
The Aslanic Mountains
23-10-2006, 12:20
We are glad to have Gorillatech in our nation. This should help solve our unemployment situation and pump more money into our economy. We will also be enforcing environmental laws. However, actions to make your factory fall in line with these regulations will be heavily, if not wholly, subsidised by our government.

We welcome Gorillatech to our nation, and with it prosperity and friendship between our two nations.

Very well. I would prefer to send an ambassador as I am thinking that I would be honored to have The Aslanic Mountains represented here in our capitol of Ariette. Baron Garon d'Islane will have full authority to conduct business in my name. I look forward to a long and profitable arrangement.

Your offer is an appealing one. It can give our economy a healthy boost, and the trade seems like a good one. A military base is hard to encoporate, although we would like to. The terrain wields little room for such a facility. If you could build on a mountain face or would take the time to level out some ground without destroying the environment, we would accept.

We are sorry to inform you that mining operations cannot be set-up within our borders. Exploitation of our natural resources is strictly controlled and as such foreign business is not allowed to set-up in this area. However, trade in raw materials and finished products can go ahead.

First, our nation salutes the bond of two peoples formerly at war, into a stronger and more glorious nation. Diplomatic relations with Aslanic Mountains will be a true honour and pleasure to be established.

Ultrasilvanian organic grains, fruits, dairies and meats are renowned throughout Central Europe, and beyond. We would be pleased to start commercial relations with Aslanic Mountains. Our products come at a relatively high price, due to their quality, but in the interest of a healthy population we believe that you will have no problems commiting to trade agreements. We also offer canned pure Ultrasilvanian air, free of any pollutants what-so-ever, harvested at the barely reacheable top of our mountains.

We are interested in weapons, of all kinds, with a special emphasis on high precision guns and remotely detonated bombs. We would take planes and rockets too, if Ultrasilvanian army can be accomodated by having them adapted to our requirements, either by your plants, or by a trusted third party.

We would like an exchange of land more than what it offered if possible. The ability to extend our military's sphere of influence is a far more appealing asset than currency. If you agree, we should have no problem in finding you a piece of land to suit your needs.

Our most prominent weapons company, AAT (Aslanic Arms Tech), is already working as we are told at 103% production. However, they are with increased demand extending their operations having obtained government permission.

We cannot promise you anything for six months when they are expected to be able to meet the demand. We do however, accept your trade. You diamonds can be used for further trading or to sell on in jewellry. We think this is a very worthy trade for both parties.
