Havian Prostitue Business Exceeds Expectations (Open, MT)
Havian Freelancer, Jared Scholeck
Five months ago, on H.71 Sept 12. (H.71n = 2002), a new controversial corporation was started by three girls and a boy. The girls are between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, with the boy being an age of 18.
At first it was a slow market for them, only managing to get one customer in the first week. They decided to try to make more money by advertising their 'products' through posters.
By the end of there third week, they had enough customers, that they were starting to ask for some other workers. They were desperately in need of another guy, but more was the case with an older female.
A married couple of two twenty-two year olds decided to join, so they did. Being over eighteen, and having money, they decided to say that if the group of people came up with a name for a company, they would make it a success.
They choose Prostie Corp, and for the last four months, they have made the red light market grow exponentially. They now have over 300 workers, and 1800 customers. Well, that's if you don't count the people who work behind the 'scene'. If you count them, you have a total of 350 people.
In the first two months, they got enough money to buy a place to renovate, and in the next month, they got the money to renovate it. They put up a sign, and well, the money has been going 'in'.
The government heard about this three months ago, and hey, since they had employees at Prostie Corp that could take care of anybodies needs, the leader, Jerry Sophrone decided to try it out. He has since abstained from such activities.
Now than, the true reason for this report isn't to advertise their company, but rather to say, oh wait no, it is to advertise.
They have already gone throughout the entire country now, and are getting more workers daily, but they would like to expand their business. If your country is interested in such an 'enjoyable' and profitable company, please call 555-9827. The area code is HAV.

General Morrigan Grimm after reading this report was seen by all of The Holy Republic of Bloodbank ether on TV or by eyes to burn the report and had this to say.
"This is a slap in God's face and I'll NOT stand for it. By this second all Prostie Corp and any who allow them in their contry are consider a enemy of God and well by the enemy of The Holy Republic of Bloodbank. We'll stop this enemy at all cost and anyone who gets in are way. We are God's Holy Warriors and now is the time to act as such."
After this was report all of Bloodbank's skys was a blaze of fireworks and all the people were celebrating.
The People's Republic congratulates the young company for their their liberty minded exercise, but wonders if there is not some other, less capitalistic way to go about it.

Eurasia welcomes this business to open up in our nation.
From the Frenzian External Affairs Council
We urge members of Prostie Corps to practice safe sex and have sent a box of a hundred thousand condoms.
All countries are permitted to allow the company into there country, but they can only go so far so fast. The Scandinvans will be the first country we will try this with. If that works, Eurasia and New Nicksyllvania will be next.
OOC: This is modern tech, and it's in the 'open' world. Are nations that are part of worlds allowed to be a part of this 'open' world or are they closed from it?
OOC Edit: Frenzia has a time warp. Oh, and don't worry. They do. Oh, and I'm just being grammatically picky, but it's "have sent".

Alright, for the time being the expansion shall be tested in the Valdra market with an estimated thirty thousand customers a week.

Bloodbank had gotten a report of this and General Morrigan Grimm was mad as fire. "Do what ever it takes but make sure that these 'ervices' are closed forever." She told her staff. They nodded and plans were underway for Operation: Babalon.

While we were thrilled to hear of your success as a business, the Night Court as always been regarded as a noble and holy institution within Kesshite. For centuries, our courtesans have served the realm faithfully and brought pleasure and beauty to royal courts. I don't see how Kesshite could benifit from a "McScrewU" type service.
~ Madam Alspase of House Alte
CEO of Prostie Corp
The great success in Valdran Markets has allowed us to get over 2,000 new people in the past year alone.
We have now moved to other markets, mainly Euroasia and New Nicksyllvania.
Oh, and has anyone else heard of a rumor about a nation trying to attack a company? I must know, how is that possible. Does anybody know?
Anyways, my time is short, I have to fly to Scandinavia. (OOC: Sorry if that's wrong) I still have clients I meet with.
Prostie Corp. is free to open business in The Community, provided all local "service providers" of this corporation pass the required medical inspections and receive the required innoculations.
While we have no official knowledge of any nation trying to harm Prostie Corp., if Prostie Corp. were to open for business in The Community, any hostile actions towards Prostie Corp. would be considered a hostile attack at The Community, and would be met with appropriate force.

The Ministry of Public Morality has, in incandescent outrage, sent a small letter tainted with Ebola to the offices of Prostie Corp so that we might obliterate this moral scourge once and for all.
Atopiana
24-01-2007, 03:09
OOC: Can somebody tell me what Ebola is? Also, maybe some text of what the letter is?
OOC: Ebola is a rather nasty virus. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola) As to why MinPubMor wants to destroy your country... it's a fascist nation! You're promoting under-age sexual behaviour! Horrific! etc etc
OOC: Can somebody tell me what Ebola is? Also, maybe some text of what the letter is? Oh, and why does a country want to destroy a company. That I must know. Why is it nations think they can control the ethics of international companies? I mean, if a company doesn't like the countries ethics (or vice versa) they wouldn't just go around trying to destroy them. I mean, if that was the case, don't you think that many American companies that are opposed for the same reason (but online pictures instead) would go around declaring war, and sending 'Ebola Mail' to the owners of these sites?
Mail Room, Prostie Corp. (Havaco, Havvy)
Secretary: Business Offer, that's a keeper, hate mail, for the trash. Hate mail, for the trash. Fan Mail, oh wait that's Hate mail. Either way trash. Oh well, I should show the CEO that they get hate mail also..
OOC: In reply to kesshite's OOC post, you have done the impossible, and not only that, you have done it without a single trace being found. Great job. Make sure your disease isn't non-communicable next time you do it. We can't make threats of terrorists because well, there's no trace their ever was.
OOC: Ebola is a rather nasty virus. As to why MinPubMor wants to destroy your country... it's a fascist nation! You're promoting under-age sexual behaviour! Horrific! etc etc

((OOC: Ebola is a nasty virus that causes internal and external bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Kills 50-90% of people infected, typically because their organs start shutting down. There's no vaccine available.
However, it's spread through bodily fluids or physical contact with an infected individual. You can't send it 'through the mail.'
Also, terrorist groups do target companies.))

New Nicksyllvania assures that all Prostie Corp Employees in the Nicksyllvanian Empire will receieve protection by the Nicksyllvanian Special Police. The Nicksyllvanian Homeland has yet to be attacked by terrorists in 50 years.
Laws for operating a prostitution business in Nicksyllvania:
The Imperial Nicksyllvanian State Corporation will control 30% of the market value of all brothels in Nicksyllvania.

Sex workers may service anyone who can pay.
The INSC reserves the right to nationalize, serize, confiscate, and commandeer any property in national emergencies. Compensation will be provided when convenient.
OOC: You can say another six months have passed, going with the time frame of this. Of course, this means an entire year passed with my government not doing much. Oh well, they can collect taxes for extra stat wanking. This also means though, that I should have to update my wiki page. Anyways, on to the business.
Havian Freelancer, Jared Scholeck
Six months ago, I reported on a company known as Prostie Corp. Now, six months later, I shall write another article.
The business has done great, and has gone into the internet area now.
They have a legitimate page for users who don't want to look at images, and a section you can pay for looking at pornographic images.
The good news is though, is that they provide translations for every language that asks for it.
They have grown through many companies, and for a one year old company, it is actually the fastest growing company of the year, gaining the award first from the country of Havvy, and than from the region of Sicily.
This business, unlike most businesses in it's practice, have been very legitimate, and working more like a gardening store than most other prostitution businesses.
They now have business starting in 6 countries, and already have business going full fledge in four others.
This will be my final report on this matter, and if you would like to contact them, please call 555-9827.

In all due seriousness, I would really like to know why you believe the country is fascist? Also, what you consider "under-age" is from your beliefs, and your beliefs alone. Nowhere in this world will you find a fact that says people under 18 can't have sex because they are so-called 'under-age'. Anyways, I'm going to repeat myself, why do you think Havvy is a fascist country?

No, sorry, we weren't being clear.
ATOPIANA is a Fascist nation. We object to the idea of prostituting 14 year old girls. We object so strongly that we have placed trade embargos on your nation, and are seriously considering a campaign of indiscriminant area bombing of civilian habitation zones.

Skgorria applauds the strong stance taken by our fraternal allies in Atopiana - prostitution of any form is a disgrace and horribly demeaning to women and men. All forms of prostitution are prohibited in Skgorria, and we most strongly encourge other nations to follow suit.
Right, bomb those who don't really have a line of defense. That's a great way to have a nation full of plate glass. Anyways, if you read the full thread, you'll notice that most of the company is outside of Havvy, and mainly found in Scandinovia and soon to be a few other countries. The company has started operation in Siap, so any attack on Prostie Corp, is an attack on "The Community".
Right now, this is all OOCish with an ICish voice.

OOC: The Atopian Strategic Air Fleets just like making firestorms. Our Air Marshal thinks they're pretty. :) Seriously, it doesn't matter where the company's based - IF - I do decide to bomb you in retaliation for your immorality I'll bomb the Havvians until they demand the company be shut down. That's the theory anyway...
Jerry Sophrone, Dictator of Havvy
Placing embargoes on countries you don't trade with is foolish. I don't know why I'm even contacting you? Also, bombing our cities because of a company that has no affiliation with the government of Havvy would be a foolish move, as even if we don't have the force to stop your nation, we can see if we can get help from friendly countries. Your threats don't scare me, and I'm sure they would be met with strong opposition by other governments.
(OOC: Government & Business are separate entities that have money as a common connection. Well, actually, it's more the fact the government needs to buy things and money is the best tool for bartering. In fact, money is made by another company altogether, and it's other businesses that give it face value)
Owner of Prostie Corp.
We ask you to quit your foolishness. Do you think you can shut down Prostie Corp by forcing the Havians, only one branch of our quickly growing business, to concede to you and eliminate Prostie Corp? I don't think that'll work. Hey though, if you want a list of nations we are in, here you go.

Dear subhuman Bolshevik scum,
We care not for your feeble and ineffective moaning regarding your seperation of powers nor your dispersion of your company. As far as we are concerned this means only that your nation is weak, and that we have a multititude of targets.
Cease trading at once or face destruction!
Yours, cordially,

Under Minister for Urban Area Bombardment.
Jerry Sophrone
Bolsheviks, isn't that socialism? If so, you know nothing of our capitalistic economy.
Please tell me, and the rest of the 12,950,000 citizens in this country, that this country is weak again. I'm sure you'll see a strong surge of unity, and a strong surge to start making weapons for war.
Also, your threat has little meaning, as you have one small, and vague command. You should know that trading can be considered anything, from international trade, from company to company, and even from brother to sister. You asking to stop all trade is an impossible task, and as such, we shall ignore it.
Dictator of Havvy.

Dear Scum,
Our intelligence agency reports that your annual defence budget is US$0.00 and your local currency is running at Z$9.99 to the Dollar.
In addition, I feel it my duty to inform you that unless Prostie Corp ceases trading within the next 24 hours, Atopian Strategic Air Command will commence bombardment of your pitiful country. We won't even bother suppressing your air defence system as you don't have one.
Such is the fate of the weak.

"The Socialist States, although not liking capitalism that much, is a staunch believer in the sovereign rights of a nation.

Official Riposte from the Ministry of War:
If the Socialist States engage in open war with Atopiana, we will be left with no choice but to respond with vast quantities of strategic nuclear weapons.
We may be a smaller nation but the flash of action will not go out without a fight!
I know perfectly well of NS Tracker. I just don't use it, as I rp a nation that is not of those stats. I have eliminated my military plenty of times through issues, and those stats reflect more accurately on my 'true' vision of a nation if I could run it, no questions asked. You are right though about the air defense. Is my Zomania really dipping that far? Wow, I should go check it out. Oh, and thanks for making sure it stays up another 30 days. It looks like some more economic issues might help me. Where is the one for a depression? I'll have to make sure to let the auto back, as that should spur consumption, if only for awhile.
I'll give an IC reply to this after I can get contact with another nation that I know. A nation that has a base on my country in fact. I did contact the nation through Telegram. I hope he gets to it in time. Maybe you would like to see a small political map of Havvy real quick. His base is on "Havaco Military Base" Island.

OOC: Red Tidean policy on nuclear weapons is of a no first use, same goes for bio-weapons. If a nuke is used on the SSRT, extermination of the offending nation through the use of its own nuclear and airborne biological weapons is assured. Red Tide does have a first use policy on chemical weapons, but rarely employs it on civilian populations. Please, lets keep it conventional.

[ OOC: Atopiana, sometimes war may be waged by corporations. Zero defense budget not always means lack of weapons, particularly not all nations have governments at all. Some may just hire others. Aerospace Logistics Corporation is one of the infamous providers of such services.
Though, of course, your country's military power is clearly considerable, capable of competing with ALC and clearly surpassing the military power of Havvy. Though, being a delegate of a considerable region, Havvy might have a good deal of support from other members, which could, if playing, surpass the power of both of us. ]
That would be an almost zero percent chance. Sicily isn't that really active in roleplaying, seeing as we don't have many active roleplayers. It's basically a gameplay region, and I can't leave because that is where I started, and the fact that I am the delegate. I have ties and I don't want to leave the region. I might be able to get a good size nation to help me if that nation has a good set up for his nation. This would also be my first time in war, and I can't believe that people are so war happy, that they would declare it over such a small thing. Oh well, it happened to Novakin4 or some nation like that. I'm glad he took most people away if they would do that for just the thought. So than, anyways, an IC post would be good now. I've been talking OOC since I have nothing IC yet.
Jerry Sophrone, H.72 April 7th (a.k.a. 16 Hours Later than the other thread you posted in)
Dear people of Havvy. Our existence is being challenged! Do you know why, or by who?
The reason is because of a company that is in our country, and in many other countries. The challenger is a person who says that they will bomb our cities and destroy the country. It is a fascist nation known as Atopia.
I declare it a state of emergency. There will be no extra powers granted to me, but we deem it that all businesses will be closed tomorrow unless you provide a basic service such as firefighting, healing people, teaching, gas stations, and police officers.
If you see a group of planes, I ask you to escape from the city and wait for bombing to be completed. Hopefully your house will still be there.
We are not going to declare war on Atopia, but instead remain in a defensive position, and wait for them to leave. All airport officials have been given hand guns, and they are suppose to shoot anybody who enters the airport from a plane.
We have stopped all immigration into Havvy, and travel through the country by plane is prohibited. If you wish to leave, we have set up over twenty planes at each major airport. They should take you to a safe country, and you may return after their bombing runs are finished.
We do not like this position, but are currently helpless to do anything about it. I am sorry people, but we are all in grave danger, and there is no way that we can stop it.
Furthermore, we have changed all TV and Radio stations to our military center, which holds all 8,000 members of Deaticom. (OOC: The Army) They will be relaying info if you watch television, and give you information about what our radars have collected. If your city is in route of one of their suspected plans, we will have an emergency evacuation happen.
Thank you for listening, and hope for the best.
Oh, and this will be played every 30 minutes in case you missed it.
OOC: If you want to start this war, start a thread, and make sure it is MT and Open. This can be in no way closed, as that would basically be the world watching you bomb something and than they couldn't react. In fact, maybe a title could be [Atopiana Declares War on Havvy [Open; Mt]] (Get ridof the last bracket)

[ OOC: Havvy, you have my moral support, too, and, if you need technological help, or if the nazi use their techy contraptions against you, telegram me. I'll check if they are feasible, and, if their creators are wankers (heck, these are the ones who do need prostie business!), I'll expose that in my usual violent and inconsiderate manner. For my designs, I know exactly what companies I would call to order the parts for the prototype and approximately how much would they ask; if the wanker doesn't have as good knowledge in that field, that wank is probably either deeply flawed or nonsensical. Well, in other words, 95% of NS designs can be blasted apart, and I can blast 90% of them in a deeply humiliating way, and I'm enough of an asshole to enjoy doing that - because if one doesn't know what he is talking about, he should forget about "designing" stuff and go back into the wankbooth. Especially for naval designs, except for Freethinkers' (he apparently works in the same shipbuilding industry, though at lower level). Or never mind, just enjoying playing an asshole. In any case, remember to TG me if engaged by prowankers.
However, IC, I can not give you support. First of all, we are corporations, and the only thing besides money we care about is big money. You, of course, are free to order ALC NDD support if you are attacked, but not for free. IC uber OOC. Second, while not against commercial adult prostitution, including male prostitution, I find it hard to approve and promote child prostitution... you knew what you were asking for, right? But anyway nazi infringement of nations' independence is worse. I'll provide some support, a limited amount and not direct, but still. ]

In response to the recent activity concerning the nation of Havvy let it be known that the Republic of Groznyj is allied to Havvy and will come to its aid in time of war. While I will not comment on the commercial cause of this incident, Jerry Sophrone has despite being a dictator shown remarkable restraint and moderation in the use of his powers. As such his people have had the liberty to live lives as free or better than of those in democratic nations. The people of Havvy are free to do what they want in life and pursue what goals they wish just like in Groznyj. It is the common mindset that unites our two nations. For this, I hereby declare that ANY military action taken against the nation of Havvy by any other foreign entity will be seen as an act of war against the Republic of Groznyj and in following a formal state of war will be declared. The populous of Havvy are not liable for the actions of a single company and even worse is that a Nazi nation would try to impose its beleifs upon those same free peoples. Because of this I condemn whole-heartedly the callous threats made by the fascists.

Official Response Of The Holy Empire Of Dentara
The Dentaran government has been monitoring the growing situation in the region of the nation of Havvy. Although we, as a nation, frown upon the practice of prostitution, it is in no way our position to force our ideals or beliefs upon other nations.

We also request permission from the Havian government to pursue any Atopianan aircraft inside their borders, should they attack.

Official Response Of The Holy Empire Of Dentara
The Dentaran government has been monitoring the growing situation in the region of the nation of Havvy.

Official Communique of The Republic of Groznyj
"Image"
In response to the recent activity concerning the nation of Havvy let it be known that the Republic of Groznyj is allied to Havvy and will come to her aid in time of war. While I will not comment on the commercial cause of this incident, Jerry Sophrone has despite being a dictator shown remarkable restraint and moderation in the use of his powers. As such his people have had the liberty to live lives as free or better than of those in democratic nations. The people of Havvy are free to do what they want in life and pursue what goals they wish just like in Groznyj. It is the common mindset that unites our two nations. For this, I hereby declare that ANY military action taken against the nation of Havvy by any other foreign entity will be seen as an act of war against the Republic of Groznyj and in following a formal state of war will be declared. The populous of Havvy are not liable for the actions of a single company and even worse is that a Nazi nation would try to impose its beleifs upon those same free peoples. Because of this I condemn whole-heartedly the callous threats made by the fascists.

btw, UES can I quote what you said to Havvy? that was funny as hell
Alright, but throw in [, Havvy,] in it so that the statement makes sense to those who didn't see it. Oh, and yah, I'm going to be quoted. There also seems to be no other thread, or I'm not searching hard enough. Also, is anybody interested in letting the business in your country?
If Atopiana does not respond by 9:00 P.M. EST, that I will have to declare this matter closed, and their won't be a war. This will be asking for the removal of many troops from the nation of Havvy and a lowered state of emergency. We'll still be watching the situation, but we will lower our defenses.
Also, this is an OOC post also.

Salaam,
Antanopia, we wholeheartedly agree with you in this endeavour. The Prostie Corp. is a vile, despicable corporation that smudges a long-honoured (though extremely distasteful) trade. As such, we must file an Order of Pariah upon the Corporation and its parent nation, also we will be calling for trade embargoes upon all nations who court the interests of Prostie Corp. in their borders. From this day forth, any Muslim who visits a country hosting Prostie Corp. will have a fatwa calling for his death issued upon him.
That said, it is not worth declaring war and killing unarmed civilians because you simply do not like their business policy, I for example find Christians, Jews and capitalists rather distasteful but they have the right to conduct their own affairs within their own borders. Antanopia, should you committ to war against this infidelic nation we will have no choice but to fight you. Regrettably, the Council of Ayatollahs has elected to opt for the lesser of two evils.
Peace Be Unto You,
Ayatollah Osama Hassan Djafar
Minister of War,

Jerry Sophrone (About a week later)--To People
I am officially declaring this state of emergency over. It seems that a great force of people against an aggressor was enough to scare the people of Anatopia off.
As such, I shall be asking for all patrolling craft around the nation to cease patrolling, and return home. It is a victory for sovereign nations and even though it's not a big win, it shows the world that we can stick together if a crisis occurs.
All business that were closed this week shall be reopened. We are sorry for any losses. As a result of this event, we shall be lowering your taxes 25% this month.
Now than, you are probably bored of hearing me speak. Please go back to what you were originally doing.
Jerry Sophrone (Same day)--To Contries
I have to say, thank you for helping my country, and more importantly, the civilians the chance to stay alive longer, and keep our sovereignty. As a reward, if you want an embassy in our nation, you may choose one in any area you would like, except for the island of Deleanti. The island is a national park, only open to scientists and visitors that respect the many laws of the island.
We do wish though, that every country withdraws their military force, except for Groznyj, which should basically return them to the island their base is.
Because of these events, I feel that the nation needs an air force to protect itself from outside threats. Unfortunately, I would need about $100 billion to start it, and another billion to keep it afloat. I should be able to come up with $1 billion each year, but having only 12.7 million people (Up 3.4% in the past year), we cannot collect taxes that will supply that.
That is why I am asking for a loan. If anybody can loan me $100 billion, I will pay them back one billion a year, and allow them free use of Havian docks for refueling and dropping off cargo. Granted, you will still need to pay for any fuel, but the docks, one of the few government owned businesses, will be allowing your ships in for free for the next 100 years. That is, if you help pay for the new air force.
Also, I'll be unveiling a new weapon idea that a person came up with. Any money we don't spend on starting the air force, will be to help this non-lethal weapon be developed.
Too sum this all up, thanks for helping us avoid war. We will be starting a military. Make sure to have a document ready for us to sign if you want to give us a $100 billion loan. We'll be developing a non-lethal weapon in the near future. More information about it will be given on a later date.
OOC: Docking can be for military fleets also. We have many docks, and our country is surrounded by water, since we are a small multinational group of islands. Jerry Sophrone will be developing 'Active denial System' which will be talked about later. It's a new piece of MT. We don't have that much money for buying things. In fact, we only were making $4 billion or something like that from 12.3 million people. I'll be putting all this information into a timeline of my nation. Basically, the loan is a great way to help start my air force, of which I haven't given a name. I serious dislike ground battles. I may have plans in the future to change the army into the national guard, but I won't change their name (Deaticom).
When I started this thread, I didn't expect a cold war, and in fact, I believe Atopiana left the conversation, seeing that the nation was being dog-piled for it's threats. That is the victory I saw.
I also plan on starting a military organization that I'm not going to join, but I'm going to lead. If I was to join, I could guide you towards an enemy that was favoring sovereignty just to help me out. I don't want that to happen, so yah.

Upon analyzing the market situation, Aerospace Logistics Economy Science Department has decided that looting the Low-GDP Nation of Atopiana would be worth the cost involved, considering rising land prices.
If Atopiana commits an attack on Havvy, we will participate in their military and government elimination, and request 30% of their land and property to be ours to claim for auctioning on the market.
The Republic of Kanami
We of the Republic of Kanami strongly condemn your allowing of human trafficking to go on in your nation. We understand nations wanting to chose capitalism over socialism, but forcing girls as young as 15 into sexual relations, before any of them are mature enough to handel that, is plain wrong, and that is where we draw the line in the sand. Capitalism should be about free business that obeys the law, and respects the people in humanity, not this.
Stop the business, and stop the trafficking, or face serious repercusions from the world. Kanami is placing a full embargo on you, and will proceed to freeze all this companies assets.

We strongly condemn this organization, beliving it is a sick and discusting breach of human rights, and not beliveing propaganda that the workers are all voulentary in the slightest. Regardless of voulentary or not, the age restrictions placed on it, are far too low. We also place a full embargo on your government for not taking actions to put a stop to it.
We also kindly remind RedTide2, that they need to look in the mirror and see who they are calling "Imperialist."
ooc: to the guys placing embargoes... just want to let you know that Groznyj is Havvy's largest trading partner so an embargo from you probably wont do anything to his economy.
Jerry Sophrone
Again with people putting embargoes on my country. It's not like this is the only country that allows prostitution at the age of 14. Hell, look at the countries Prosti Corp. are in again. You'll notice that one specifically says that it is allowing only females from the age of 14 and up.
Secondly, my country, and the businesses in them are separate entities. Please note that embargoes only stop companies from trading with your companies for the most part. I'm sure that you don't want that. We collect 1% of many finished and raw goods from companies that have them. This includes paper, lumber, fish, and some metals.
Thirdly, you'll have to pick it up with the bosses of Prostie Corp, if you think they are forcing people into their business. If you have proof, I'll have somebody look into the matter. Otherwise, I would really like it if you would shut up. Thank you. (Says shut up in a somewhat serious tone, and says thank you in a nice tone)

We condemn child traffiking, child prostitution and pedofilia as the horrible yet inevitable evils of our world. On the other hand, we realize that economy of some countries can depend on it, and just eliminating child prostitution is economically unsound. Is there a solution which can suit both sides?
Here, at Geneforge NLC (No Liability Company), we know the answer: Yes. The growing demand on pedo prostitution market is coupled with decline of demand in elderly prostitution. But age is a variable, not a constant.
We have studied the possibilities of restarting the production of one of our old models, XB-412, designed by a now scrapped employee. XB-412 is a female body replacement (can be applied on males as well), which has the looks of 11-15 year old girl (adjustable), and was tested not to show any signs of aging for a decade. We can start serial production of XB-412, modified to keep the desired age. Bodies in the XB-400 series use only partial gene replacement and therefore look different, avoiding the unpleasant similarity of XB-100 series.
The body replacement procedure is quite simple. A full set of organs, body parts, skin and fitting blood are grown using the mass production line, verified and tested for compatibility with the subject. Then subject's body is disassembled step-by-step with replacing components first by temporary machinery, and then, once blood is replaced, with new body organs.
Partial replacement, replacing just the skin (with our state-of-the-art non-aging model) and the sexual organs, is also possible, but we recommend full replacement, as new organs durability will allow for longer working day, more intense work to improve client satisfaction, and therefore higher return of investment.
With XB-412, you can extend the service life of your prostitutes to over 100 years past first use (with two body replacements), instead of industry average 25 years. Further expansion is not possible currently due to brain degradation, but this problem will be solved long before current units' service life comes to the end.
The cost of full replacement, around $6000, may seem high, but, considering currently rising prices on the international stock market for the "bulk preteen slut" lot (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Preteen_slut), and expenses involved in cosmetic prostitute service life prolongation, it is a cheaper alternative, and much more efficient, since the body retains the desired age for a long time with little maintenance. Healthcare costs also drop dramatically, due to organ interchangeability between same model bodies, allowing easier reuse of materials from decommissioned workers for medical operations on ones still in service, without extra compatibility verification as before. Consider also that it allows reactivation of prostitutes currently put out of service, combining experience and newer body, with looks of any desired age between 10 and 20.
Unfortunately, currently low-cost production of full bodies with brains is not possible, as our engineers are just beginning their way to mastering the scientific discoveries in learning sequences. However, if your demand for teenager prostitutes is above decommissioned prostitute supply, we can reactivate the XB-412 developer and consider producing them with simplified brain. The simplified brain has no capacity for thought, only instincts, lower than even a highly developed animal, but these are sufficient for sex industry, especially pedophile-oriented. It also makes the live sex provider unit clearly non-human and so exempt from human rights, allowing for unrestricted 24/7 sexual exploitation. However, it's likely that reactivation of older prostitutes will satisfy your pedophile-oriented prostitution demands. The experiments conducted by our now scrapped employee have shown that experienced prostitutes with XB-412 display even more natural and pronounced loli qualities than the real teenagers he purchased (they were rehabilitated at our expense and released), suiting the client's needs in the optimal way.
This may look somewhat uncomforting to people unfamiliar with genetic engineering industry, but I can assure you these things are not as bad as they seem, and much better than real child prostitution, horrible effects of which most people underestimate. It's better to let the real by-choice prostitutes to do their jobs with factory-made bodies, rather than promote real child prostitution. Furthermore, prolonging the service life of consciously enrolled sex workers is not just harmless unlike real child prostitution, but more profitable, if one considers improved income and return of investment and doesn't just aim for expenseless child exploitation. Considering the just reaction of the international community, we are ready to offer discounts for the initial exploring into possibilities of human economy in prostitution business.
Looking forward to doing business with you,
Jeff, Geneforge NLC.

[ OOC: Loose MT, rather. Though it isn't some deeply researched design, just quite loose made for RP. But there's not much to it, mostly just cloning of organs and some experiments into primitive brains - since genetic research was never restricted in Vault 10 (there are too many radiation-mutated animals and humans), but rather encouraged, it's not past feasibility. All organ replacements are possible today, these just include skin which doesn't start to look aging - pretty much like genetically modified fruits sold today which can look fresh for years (so you never know how old they really are and they are cheaper to handle). It would take just digging deeper into human genetic engineering to make skin with non-aging look and inhibit growth of body features beyond certain age. Well, so I think it fits for sake of RP - this is peacetime one, after all.
And it was meant to be inhumane and showcase the extremes of corporate evil, of course; Vault 10 is not the land where Satan dwells, but he surely graduated here.
Back IC. ]
As for persons using replaced bodies, they stay just normal persons, of course unless the body replacement causes mental trauma, which is a case only for involuntary operations.
The primitive brains don't really let a specimen to do much. They aren't persons, and have very little individual features. The subjects only inherit instincts, and can hold simple training to use them, especially if electronically assisted, but lack consciousness and ability to think, staying more like animals (and not the smartest ones), but better controlled. However, their instincts work fully and application can be modified, and the surviving results of that experiment perform nice in bordellos, requiring, however, a real human pimp. Basically, except for sex industry, they are of little use; even crash testing can't be done properly with them as the brain dummies are much more resilient to damage, and training them to do work is inefficient. We are only in the early stages of research into reproducing brains.
That employee currently continues to engage in pedophilia, but in another role, serving as a prostitute in a New Reno bordello, using XB-412 body, as a punishment for his deeds. We'll request him shipped back.
Looking forward to doing business with you,

Some people more than others, but still, never would I hire one of those for such a job as that. It's just too sick.
I do like your cloning research though, and well, if you can create ones that can do things like cleaning, than we would be happy to buy one of these primitive minded creatures.
Also, this probably isn't much, but I'm sending you a check for thirty thousand bucks. If you can, please try to create some of them that can think. If they can think, but they don't want wants, than we basically have free labor, and can move on into hobbies.

"A corporation is a legal entity which, while being owned collectively by a number of natural persons, exists completely separately from them. This separation gives the corporation unique powers which other entities lack.".
...And so corporation lacks morality and has unique powers of defying all borders of humanity without casting a shadow on the owners.

To Prostie Corp CEO
Well, selling slaves is not the business we are working in, and not even the one we are exploring. The sexual slaves - or rather creatures, as they don't have personality to enslave - were experiments of one our employee, and brain research is aimed at improving genes responsible for human brain development, rather than producing slaves. We brought this up only as a more acceptable alternative to international child prostitution. But this is not the prime offer.
Currently, the prime business of Geneforge NLC is helping people to get predictable children; the customers can decide for themselves how many fingers do they want their child to have, where should the child have hair, and how should the proportions be; most customers just order normal pre-war human type. Due to high radiation exposure, all these are pretty chaotic among natural children of people who spent the War on the surface, and the demand for our services is steady.
Our second, rapidly growing business sector is replacement of body parts and organs. Taking the customer's gene sample, we can produce fully compatible organs in a short time, and replace almost the entire body. Not only this serves to improve health, prolong life and restore crippled people, but some of our products already start to exceed the capabilities of natural ones. In, particular we have successfully isolated genes responsible for extreme radiation resistance of some post-war mutated animals, and can incorporate them into most products.
XB-412 is the result of integrating many improved organs with special non-aging skin. While the employee was punished for his secret development he used for personal pleasure and smuggling, as we were yet just a LLC then* and couldn't afford the public reaction.
However, today there would be no restrictions to that, and XB-412 may be used to reactivate old prostitutes or improve their productivity. The operation may be fully consensual, and we are sure many of your prostitutes would gladly do it. Just take a look at all the efforts expended to lower the visible age - but here is the true solution. Not only it involves no nonconsensual labor, but it will let to decrease the number of new prostitutes hired, instead letting the employees to work in the industry for longer, not worrying about their bodies. This can also satisfy demand for child pornography and prostitution without involving any actual children.
Looking forward to doing business with you,
Jeff, Geneforge NLC.
* From Vault 10 Business Encyclopedia:
"NLC, or No Liability Company is a further extension of concept of resticting legal liability of large entities, pioneered by the Corporation (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Corporation) and Limited Liability Company ownership forms. Typically NLC own enough air force that it is easier for them to bomb one into non-existence if he bothers them too much, rather than carry any legal liability. Status confirmation requires power projection capabilities comparable to an average European nation, and at least one confirmed event of eliminating an opposing company in 24 hours after their lawsuit is filed. Laws do not apply to NLC, and lawsuits filed against them are redirected to recycling, for good of both.
The NLC concept was created due to the practice of the Aerospace Logistics Corporation to quickly deliver live airbombs to anyone suing them them and thus making the lawsuit invalid. It was soon decided that, as the law had no practical effect on ALC anyway, the company may be granted an official status recognizing that, which would help to prevent the collateral damage of airstikes. ALC became officially exempt from the law, and cases against them were ignored.
Geneforge NLC has received the status just a year ago, being a LLC, or Limited Liability Company before. The NLC status was connected to a scandal, started after a shipment to New Reno labeled "bulk preteen slut" (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Preteen_slut) was discovered to originate at Geneforge LLC experimental laboratories. The last surviving representatives of all kinds of religions formed the Temple of Sacred Godly Creation, an organization aimed at banning all genetic research and driving public opinion against corporations involved in it. In 4 hours after the lawsuit was received by the court, Geneforge LLC agent planted RDX inside the supports of the Temple, and then shot the few people who managed to crawl outside. Soon the court was informed that neither the address of the TSGC was valid any longer, nor any of their staff were alive, and so the lawsuit was dismissed.
Geneforge NLC is not the fastest company to achieve NLC status, however. That record belongs to the case "Thomas Jefferson and co. Network Services vs. Symmetriad and Lightning Communications: Anti-trust laws application to monopolization of communications and data storage industries", where the lawsuit didn't even reach the court.
Thomas Jefferson and co. Network Services filed tons of evidence of all communications monopolization, which has almost put his once prosperous company out of business. However, just half an hour after it was filed, as the post office was processing the mail, it turned out that Thomas Jefferson and co. Network Services has never existed, their employees have never been born or registered everywhere, and the apartments they were registered in have never been sold or rented. Furthermore, the IP address the company claimed to have was never allocated, the web domain "thomasjeffersonandconetworkservices.com" always belonged to a link farm, and their Uncyclopedia entry was written by an anonymous IP which was blocked indefinitely per WP:BALLS, and was never allocated anyway."

IC:
Thank you for your patronage, the Money will be transferred immediately.

OOC: I got kinda used to having to spell Sylvania with 2 Ls
For the Record, my country deems 14 to be the age of Adulthood where one is free to make their own choices in most things.
We are borrowing a few ships from companies in the country. They'll be picking up the planes, and taking them back. Please keep all of this a secret to the outside. We don't want others to get word on this.
OOC: 13 for my country. :)

[ In a sense, they are - there is no real government and no social security, so, unless they have other sources of income, people have to join some company.
But enforced labor is inefficient, so corps would rather just hire immigrants. Moreover, people have ratified the constutution just because it was in their best interests to have no government, as when they had one it led then to the Nuclear War; most survivors were ones who had a place in Vault-Tec facilities. The constitution warrants people the right to leave their job alive. It contains little more, though, and is not enforced, but at least respected.
When the employees are fired, they usually go and find another job. Unless it happens in New Reno, of course. Fortunately for the less fortunate ones, Vault-Tec high staff is becoming increasingly commie and warrants a job to anyone, regardless of his weaknesses, in their Vault construction and maintenance industry. ]

We inform you that the concepts of NLC and other specific business laws are just internal workings of the inter-corporation legal system. They work only among nation-independent corporations, corponations, and governmentless nations.
Our companies will use universally accepted methods for settling lawsuits with nations. [ Unless they consider it not in their interests, of course, as V10CC has no power to enforce them. ] We, of course, don't ask the permission to bomb anyone. [ Like if anyone ever does - Exxon Mobil clearly doesn't. ]
Keep in mind that many of our corporations are international and are responsible individually rather than collectively. They have no power over each other, and an attempt of one NLC to enforce anything upon another one would be disastrous, as all have considerable nuclear arsenals and means of delivery. Fortunately, the corporations have no reasons to go against each other, except when biting off pieces of internationally condemned countries, in which case they hire local mercenaries to settle the business.

[ BTW, actually the persons in the Thomas Jefferson and co. Network Services vs. Symmetriad and Lightning Communications case didn't physically disappear. They just were stupid enough to file a lawsuit against companies which controlled all the communications and data storage - including, of course, official persons and companies databases. These people and their company were just deleted from the records. ]
