Kelonian States

Are you a smaller nation that's yet to develop satellite technology, or the means to launch said satellites? Well, we have the solution for you!
It has come to the attention of The Federal Republic of Kelonja the importance that GPS, Satellite TV systems and weather satellites can have on a developing nations' citizens' quality of life, as well as the advantages it can have in allowing developing nations to obtain some of the things that larger nations take for granted. Because of this, the Kelonian Space Agency have decided to allow restricted access to it's launch facility at Sudiviyan. Nations who have the technology to develop their own satellites can simply pay a flat fee for the use of launch rockets and the base itself, while to other nations, the KSA can build the satellites on-site, and the purchasing nation can merely provide the software specifics they require to operate the satellite.
Security Note: Security obviously works both ways, and while we are obviously unlikely to offer unrestricted, unsupervised access to the facility to anyone but the most trusted allies, we will also respect nations' security; the only tests we will run on supplied satellites will be to ensure they are not capable of offensive warfare, and are safe and compatible with KSA launch vehicles' technology. A delegation of scientists, diplomats and media from purchasing nations will of course be allowed to attend their launches, and will be completely under the protection of the Kelonian State Military (delegations will be allowed to bring a security detachment of up to 20 personnel, none of whom will be allowed to carry more than semi-automatic weapons - special cases will not be considered).
WE WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LAUNCH SATELLITES CAPABLE OF 'WEAPONIZING' SPACE!
________________________________________________
Basic Launch: $250,000,000.00
We will take delivery of your locally-made satellite, inspect it to ensure it fulfills the criteria required for launch at our Sudiviyan facility (no weapons capability, etc) and will, weather permitting, launch your satellite within one NS month. Handling will be exactly as described above; your satellite will be allowed to be accompanied by a security detachment to ensure it is not unduly tampered with, but will never be unsupervised by Kelonian troops from the minute it is unloaded at harbour.
Satellite Missile Defence System: $650,000,000.00
By purchasing this system, you will be having a number of satellites positioned over your nation, using systems similar to those proposed by Reagan's SDI (Strategic Defence Initiative) to destroy incoming missiles launched by enemy nations against your country. Using mini-missiles to intercept incoming missiles and destroying them in mid-air, you will vastly reduce the chances of any enemy ordnance finding it's target; with enough satellites, the chance starts to become almost negligible! (Note: the system is designed for use against missiles, not aircraft - we cannot guarantee effectiveness against aircraft capable of evasive manouvers).
Special Deal: for $6bn, we will distribute for you a 10-satellite system in geosynchronous orbit over your nation. For systems in multiples of 20, a price of $5bn per 10 satellites will apply, e.g. 100 satellites will be $50bn
GPS Satellite System: $500,000,000.00
We will supply you with three GPS satellites per launch (note: the real-life GPS system has over 20, the more satellites you have, the more accurate your system will be) in a precise delayed-distribution system. If you have several billion to spend, you can establish a frighteningly-accurate navigation system inaccessible to other nations - including Kelonia - inside a few months.
Special Deal: for $3.5bn, we will distribute for you a complete 24-satellite GPS system, comparible to the current IRL system)
Satellite TV System: $350,000,000.00
Capable of broadcasting up to 150 seperate channels, this advanced TV satellite will provide your nation with as much TV as they could possibly want to consume, from reality TV to cookery, and from soaps to sports. Simply provide our technicians with the frequencies you wish your satellite to transmit and receive on, and your nation will soon be consuming all the TV they can get their eyeballs on.
Special Deal: for a limited time only, if you wish, we will provide your nation's media organization(s) with free a 50-year licence to live feeds of KeloniSport TV, featuring the rich Kelonian Premier Soccer League, as well as other quality sports transmissions in English, Russian, Kelonian or for you to re-dub with your own commentary.
Weather Satellite System: $300,000,000.00
Make your nation's weather reports, for whatever purpose, from around the globe vastly more accurate by being able to analyse weather patterns from above, as they form, with a weather satellite system. The (IRL) United States currently operates three of these satellites, used to keep a close eye on developing and dynamic weather events, and the potential uses for this information are limitless: if your nation is prone to hurricanes, you can now spot them coming and tell your populace to get underground, or be able to tell people that four-week cold snap is finally coming to an end - civilian and other uses abound.
Special Deal: Three for the price of two: buy two weather satellites from us today and you'll get one free of charge, giving you effectively a complete weather-monitoring satellite system: three satellites - the same number currently operated by the (IRL) USA - for just $600,000,00.00

All delegates and security detachments will be provided with plush on-base accomodation, fully protected within one of the most secure facilities in our great nation. Spouses and families will be admitted, and if they so wish members of delegations will be allowed off-base and will be assigned personal Secret Service bodyguards if they feel they require it. All visitors will be treated with the same comforts we extend to all diplomats, and will be comfortable and secure for the duration of their stay. Distinguished guests and their families may also be invited for dinner with Base Commander Temur Beloijan, famed for his help in creating Kelonia's space programme, as well as veteran of three orbital missions.
