The Dominion Commonwealth of Azaranthia Factbook

Geography

Area: 4,5600 square kilometers

Terrain: The Dominion is a land of rich beauty, the environment having been zealously defended by the politicians and the backing of the populace. Large, exotic forests cover most of the nation, with logging companies here and there, carefully cutting down pine, ash, oak, and the other woods needed for their businesses and following the careful policies set by the government. On the north side of the nation, is the Kalacii mountain range, the only mountains in the nation and a fantastic tourist spot. It is here that the Matriach herself has a luxurious home, that is built into the highest mountain, adequately named Alexandria after the Matriach. That isn't the only hotspot for tourists in the Dominion, for the long beaches on the east coast of Azaranthia, the only part of the country with access to the sea, are major spots of tourism, as well as trade. The many ports and shipyards are sites of major trade with other countries. However, as beautiful as nature is, some visitors may prefer the cities and the government of Azaranthia has gone to great lengths to provide for it's people and it's guests.
With brilliant silver and white structures, the large steel spires of the many cities are a gorgeous sight to behold. The many businesses and corporations have set up shop in these cities, watched carefully by government inspectors and the police so as to ensure fairness, and to prevent corruption. The various neighborhoods of the cities are full of friendly, kind citizens who will be glad to help you and make your stay enjoyable. There are many hotels and other places to stay in as well as many key locations that make up Azaranthian culture. The Shrine to Grand Matriach Alexia is one, a holy place of utter sanctity to all citizens and the place where new Matriachs are selected and give their inauguration speeches. And the star-shaped Hall of Heroes is the main building for military operations, serving as the heart of all operations and where the military watches vigilantly over their nation. Military bases are a common sight, seen around some cities and deep within the jungles and in the mountain range of the Dominion, as well as naval bases.

I belive they would have to pay you for the land they use, if they were to use your mines. Or if they partner up and help sell off your copper, you would be a share holder in the profits

OOC: Forgive my stupidity, but what would this do and how would it help my economy?OOC: You can never learn anthing if you do not ask.;) Well, I would pay a given price that suits both of us and I would give you a amount equal to about 15% of the overal profits from this. Also, I would create a good deal of jobs that pay quite good wages.

OOC: Alright, just want to make sure as I am a newb to MT. I will be discussing a price of course.

IC: To The International Precious Metals and Stones Exchange & Holding company,

I am glad to hear of your interest in our nation's mining industry. I am willing to discuss and negotiate a deal with your company about the mines you have requested. I just want to ensure the free market economy of my nation and to ensure all workers have fair rights and wages, but I am sure a company with your reputation will have these. I will only need to discuss this. If you so wish, you may travel to my relaxing palace in the Kalacii mountain range. Attached to this letter is a map and a note of recommendation from myself, which will allow you to come see me unhindered by the red tape of politics. I do hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

The Grand Matriarch of the Dominion

hole place of utter sanctity to all citizens

Great factbook so far, a nice inventive nation, with appealing geography.

Minor grammatical point, does the 'hole' in the description above needs changing to 'whole'?

Alexandria MalokevTo Her Eminence Lady Alexandria Malokev:

I thank you for the invitation and I will arrive shortly in your fair country by means of an own private jet, but I wish to be given the most convent coordinates for me to land at. On a different note I must I can ensure that the full time miners shall make at least 30,000 Darvians a year (roughly 45-48,000 USD). As well, we give all our workers most of their normal rights of free speech and most of the other things, but the only thing is that they cannot prevent other people from entering during the event of a strike and are not able to strike on company controlled ground yet they are allowed to protest on the unused area in front of the mine and the used up area. Yet, also for environmental concerns we do admit that we do use some damaging methods when strip mining, but after the mine is used up we turn into a nature preserve and in the event of underground mining we use the methods that ensure a hardy profit for ourselves, but will not result in anything except maybe a little earth being moved up a few inches if the mining is very extensive.

Signed,
