The New healthfood restraunt, "Vita!", has begun an agressive corporate war with Sante'. They wish to expand into other states. They have bought out all of their assets in Laquasa, and according to their sources "offer a wider selection and better- and much healthier- food than Sante." Vita does offer lean meats, and all organic vegetables in a tasty style, atmoshpere, and price. On Fridays 10% of profits go to feeding children in Africa.

The Vita! Slogan

OOC: Whoa! Vita!? What a fucking rip off.

Communiqué from Eurasia

The Britannic Commonwealth would like to allow Vita! locations in our nation, but due to your policy of helping children in Africa, we can not do so. Too bad, so sad.

Signed,
Francisco Scaramanga
Minister for Irritably Dismissing Asinine Buisnesses

CEO Mark Haraki wishes to point out that British Londinium has other things to worry about, like changing their government again.

OOC: Whoa! Vita!? What a fucking rip off.

OOC: I see someone else uses the strategy of obscure departments with riddilously specific names.

Statement of the Coalition Military Authority,
British Londinium

The Coalition Military Authority is deeply interested in securing investment in the shattered British Londinium economy. Vita!, like any other private company, is thus welcome to set up here. The Coalition Military Authority has no knowledge of "Francisco Scaramanga" or a "Ministry for Irritably Dismissing Asinine Buisnesses". We assume this is a hoax, and apologise for any confusion caused.

[OOC: EDIT: My mistake. Retconned.]

OOC: Er, no. And no. And no again, Prætonia. The Coalition restored my government, so I have the right to dictate my own nation's affairs. Laquasa, ignore Prætonia - he has no right.

We thank the coalition for toppling the old Londinian military regime. We suggest taking away nuclear weapons and uranium supplies, never allowing them to build more, but allow them to have an anti-missile shield and conventional military.

Vita! shall begin opening locations in Eurasia.

OOC: Er, no. And no. And no again, Prætonia. The Coalition restored my government, so I have the right to dictate my own nation's affairs. Laquasa, ignore Prætonia - he has no right.

Err... I'm confused. What's going on? May I have a summary of events in this war?

OOC: No you won't. And you're a fucking corporation in this thread, who are you to dictate policy?

IC:

Official Statement of the President

If Vita! opens locations in Eurasia, their employees will be arrested for treason.

[OOC: Well no one told me, and since I have troops in your capitol building, all major infrastructure in your capital and your capital's international airport, one would have thought I would have some say in the matter.]

OOC: One would, but since it's illegitimate, to me, to make policy decisions for a sovereign state, you don't.

Also, get on withdrawing troops - it's very annoying having my President have to listen to your nation just because he has a small group of soldiers pointing guns at him.

OOC: No you won't. And you're a fucking corporation in this thread, who are you to dictate policy?

Doesn't that violate the treay? So much for "becoming a liberal democracy"

OOC: How is that not a liberal democracy? You'd be violating a law. Too bad, so sad, watch me laugh my ass off. I can arrest employees for working at a business that finances terrorism.

[OOC: My troops are not withdrawing. They still control your infrastructure and they still control your airport. If you break the treaty again your country will be seized again.]

But how is it funding terrorism?

OOC:BL the provisions of the peace treaty..do not be an idiot, or else.

OOC:

Jesus frickin' Christ. Why the fuck does every thread have to turn into a fucking flame war between you two? I'm getting sick of this shit. :rolleyes:

PINA (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Public_International_News_Ariddia) newsflash

A new restaurant chain claiming to be "healthier" than the famous Ariddian restaurant chain Santé! (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Sant%C3%A9%21) has opened, based in Laquasa Isle.

"Vita!", whose very name is reminiscent of "Santé!", has stated its intention of competing against the Ariddian company. Vita!, unlike Santé!, sells meat, and has pledged to make donations to charity. The company has announced it wishes to expand to the international market.

A spokesman for Santé!, Bernard Larousse, has said he welcomes the creation of a new health-focused restaurant company.

"If we've started a trend, if Santé! has proved inspirational in this way, I can only say I'm very glad."

More on this story as it develops. Stay tuned to PINA (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Public_International_News_Ariddia).

Honako is not usually a nation for welcoming rival food chains into there nation, but they believe the fat oppressed people of this nation need to be 'persuaded' to eat healthily, so we would like to take a trail number of two restaurants for each major city in Honako.

Head of the Honako Ministry for Health
