OOC: It is, but a nation as new as yours does not get money like that. Refer to here (http://nstracker.retrogade.com/index.php?nation=Zernia) to get econ. statistics.

Wow! Quite an offer! Can anyone match it?
The Silver Sky
19-11-2006, 22:50
I hope you know that at 75% profit you would be losing money Marque.

$20 trillion, 25% discount on any military goods (in my link) and 50% profit.
Zernia
19-11-2006, 22:50
I cannot match it, however the Holy Kingdom of Zernia does wish to ally itself with Maraque.
Maraque

The Silver Sky

$30 Trillion, 25% discount on any military goods (in my link) and 50% profit, and a Non-Agression Treaty with The Silver Sky.
The Horde Of Doom

Argh! To go for the money, or get the military discount?
Sunya
19-11-2006, 22:52
I think at that range, silver sky, you'd all be losing money...that's what's funny about this whole thing.
Maraque
19-11-2006, 22:52
$35 trillion, 75% profit.
Zernia
19-11-2006, 22:53
The money..then you could build a great huge military!!!
Sunya

Or a pimp-ass crib.
The Horde Of Doom

Sold to Maraque for $35 trillion, 75% profit!
Maraque
19-11-2006, 22:57
OOC: All I really wanted was the island. You can have all the profit for all I care.
The Silver Sky
19-11-2006, 22:58
I think at that range, silver sky, you'd all be losing money...that's what's funny about this whole thing.

Yes, I know that, which is while I'll back out of the treaty, and Maraque, the island isn't even worth that much.

If there were a billion barrels of oil and you sold them for $37 USD you realize that that is only $37 billion and if there were 25 billion metric tonnes of uranium and you sold it for $1,000 per metric tonne that would be $25 trillion, you'd lose like 10 trillion dollars.

Maraque, you just ruined your economy. :P
The Scandinvans
19-11-2006, 22:58
Maraque you not own the most valuable land in the world.:p
Sunya
19-11-2006, 22:58
The scorn is palpable!
Maraque
19-11-2006, 23:01
Today in the capital of Maraque, Super City, billions of now impoverished citizens scream at the top of their lungs at a massive protest in front of the Grand Imperial Palace at Emperor Jovan Norris for ruining their lives.
Zernia
19-11-2006, 23:03
Today, Zernian Citizens pressure the King into taking over Maraque
Maraque

The Emperor says:

Oh snap.
Sunya
19-11-2006, 23:05
Maybe Maraque will auction off themselves to pay for the 35 trillion dollar boondoggle.
Zernia
19-11-2006, 23:07
Zernia chants, "Auction off Maraque" "Auction off Maraque!"
The Horde Of Doom

A company that started with 18 dollars to it's name and 9 deaths, 4 crack deals, and 1 island later, it has become a multi-trillion dollar company.

Now you guys can expect more land to be discovered but at lower prices!
Maraque
19-11-2006, 23:09
OOC: I spent 19% of my GDP. How much damage did I just do?
Zernia
19-11-2006, 23:09
Yay!
Emporer Pudu
19-11-2006, 23:10
Maraque now has a piss-poor economy, the population is in turmoil, and the military is responsible for something like 30,000 more acres of land...

I could just invade the island and keep it myself.
Galation
19-11-2006, 23:16
Maraque you not own the most valuable land in the world.:p

Actually, I just sold an island for 100 trillion. Want some money?

Horde of Doom, didn't I sell you the Isle of Beertopia that was quarantined because of the population of VODAIS plague zombies.
The Horde Of Doom
19-11-2006, 23:20
Was it before or after my civil war?
Commonalitarianism
19-11-2006, 23:23
I think it was before your civil war. It would make sense. There would be a sunken floating city not too far from it hit repeatedly by orbital bombardment.
Maraque
19-11-2006, 23:27
OOC: Screw it. The Silver Sky can have it if he wants. I'm going to colonize another planet anyway. Planet > Island.
The Horde Of Doom
19-11-2006, 23:28
Hmmm...I think i nuked it during my civil war....or in the war with pythagoria....or during the anarchist revolution...or during the Cult Wars....

Anyway it's most likely destroyed by now
The Horde Of Doom

Maraque

OOC; The planet has to be close enough for my PMT space shuttle to reach.
