Join The Slave traders Union

Strator

Fellow nations, Why should we answer to those who disagree with our practices, all those who support slave trading, why should you have to be at war with those who oppose a custom which has been around since the early days of man. All members will be supported when under pressure and be able to purchase slaves cheaper from slave selling members such as my own nation of strator. Band together and fight those who follow these weak and unlasting ideas and morals. Democracy has been around since late in the greek empire, slavery has been around for much longer. Its tried, true and helps a country thats lost its footing get back on track.

JOIN NOW!

The Libertarian Empire does hereby denounce this vile organization wholeheartedly, and will do everything in its power to put a stop to these barbaric practices. We do proclaim that any ship which flies the banner of a member nation of this organization will not be given entry to Cravan's ports, both in the homeland and in our Overseas Territories. If these practices of slaving cannot be stopped via peaceful means, "aggressive diplomacy" may be necessary to end your business.

The Empire is watching you and your comrades closely. Don't slip up.

The Government of Haraki is going to join our friends in Cravan in denouncing this organization as unjust and illegal. Slave trading, while perhaps an 'ancient practice' in some parts of the world, is still an evil act, and has been rightfully outlawed in all sane nations for a long time. As an example, ritual human sacrifice is also an ancient practice in some areas, and I think we can all safely denounce it as something immoral and to be avoided at all costs.

This 'Slave Traders Union' is hereby blacklisted by the Harakian government, and all nations entering it will find relations severely worsened with the Social Democracy. All forms of trade will be severed with these nations, though refugees will be allowed to enter Harakian territory if fleeing from these nations.

Well now, you certainly have caused yourself a bit of trouble, havent you?

The Tolarian Academy must, of course, join in the international outcry. We will not trade with any nation within this union, BUT neither will we take hostile action against them or seek to interfere with their commerce in any other way.
Stratorian ships may pass through Academy space as they wish, but will not be allowed to dock or take on supplies. While in Academy space Stratorian ships are under the protection of the TSF, and attacks on them will be considered as attacks on Tolarian interests. Once they are out of Tolarian space you may do to them as you will.

We urge all nations of the world to renounce slavery, an institution which is the basest of all social forms, and refuse Strator the company it so desperately seeks at the end of its brief reign of terror via this "Slave Traders' Union." You would only be wasting your money, since we will seize and emancipate any slaves transported through our territory by any means; your time, since many powerful forces that dwarf our own humble nation's in sophistication and numbers are already invading Strator to end the slavers' regime and this foul enterprise; and your reputation, by allying with so vile a scoundrel even if only economically. What point is there in such a losing exchange, for any sound and ethical businessman of any social system?

Monetistan
17-02-2007, 22:49
The chaos is vast, the machinery is vast, the wealth is vast.

Monetistan - not one nation, but thousands of them, combined in a vast conglomerate of franchises and phyles claiming nation-esque privileges, up to and including the occasional case of urban guerilla warfare or ethnic violence.

But that's rare. All in all, the economy's booming, import and export alike are blossoming, and lesbianism runs rampant.

If it wasn't for certain bits of the 'Country' requiring hazard suits to avoid permanent damage to one's physis (And sometimes psyche), it'd be outright pleasant to live there.

In any case. Aforementioned thousands of quasi-national corporations, being naturally interested in profits, do tend to constantly analyse potential markets, exploring gaps, gaining access, expanding, growing, taking over - they're the top of the food chain, and staying there requires work.

Yet, none of them appear to be particularly interested in Strator and its products. Nobody spends a second on considering the option of expanding there, of creating ties, of financing, investing, profiting.

And none want to buy slaves. Or join slave trader unions, come to think of it.

"Why not?"

The man who asks the question is nothing more than a construction worker, presently occupied with the timeless endeavour of Moving Stuff Around (tm), but insufficiently enough motivated to spend about half his time with a 'Coworker' - that coworker is, of course, a few tiers higher in the corporation's hierarchy, sitting there, googled into his notebook, and answering with rather significant pauses in between, clearly dividing his attention between some sort of pornographic entertainment in the metaverse, and said construction worker.

"Simple," he answers, slowly, pronounciation off, and with just a hint of excitement-caused-by-something-entirely-different. "Slavery doesn't work. Not well, anyway.

"Slaves, having a 'Guaranted' income - habitation, food and clothing to keep them alive and able to work, but nothing else -, have absolutely no interest whatsoever in working any more than they absolutely need to. They are naturally lazy and will, by and large, only move to threats. And no single millimetre more than absolutely necessary. There's no incentive for them to work harder - it wont make their lives any better than they are at any given time.

"A paid worker on the other hand - I.e. you or me -, does have this incentive. Work more. Earn more money. Buy a 50000 credit car, rather than a 25000 credit car. Look at yourself - you're doing overtime right now. Admittedly, not very productive overtime, but that's mostly because our superiors suck donkey balls and wouldn't know how to manage the company to safe their lives."

The construction worker nodded, idly swatting at a fly and peering outside, where laserlights were at work, doing... Laserstuff. "But we're also paid more. It should work out roughly equally, no?"

"Yeah baby, that ri- oh, wait. Nevermind. Anyway. Yes. If it was this alone, it probably would, although the quality of the product would suck.

"However, there's a second complication. Say... How much money had the company to pay you to start working in the first place?"

"Nothing."

"Exactly. They hired you - and me -, for nothing. We get our monthly wages, of course - pityful as they are -, but they didn't have to pay us 50k just to start up.

"This is, however, exactly what you do when buying a slave. 50k or more down the drain, for a completely untrained male who doesn't even want to work for you. And that's before the slave's even started to make the slightest bit of profit for you.

"It gets worse, of course. What does the company do when there's not enough work to do? It fires us. Well. You. My work's a little more valuable."

"Why, thank you. I love you, too."

"Sorry. 'tis just the facts. We'll for now ignore that you're actually Moving Stuff Around (tm) while I'm watching porn. In the end, it's all about perception, and computers beat dirty gloves. Anyway..." A sight pause, spent on squishing another one of the myriad of flies that seem to inhabit the hall. "What do you do with slaves when there's not enough work for them? You can't 'Fire' slaves. You can give them their freedom, of course - only wastes 50k bucks. Or you can keep them - wonderful. Only wastes the money they cost you for housing, food, medicaments, clothes, sanitary installations... Or you can shoot them. Again, 50k down the drain.

"Any way you look at it - slavery is simply outcompeted by free labour. This is, of course, why slavery died in the nineteenth century - sure, there were ethical concerns growing, a few wars were fought, shipments intercepted - but the very root of its death was that the slave-holding enterprises went broke in times when their products were in little demand, while the enterprises that ran with free labourers could survive these periods."

A brief moment spent on thinking this all through follows. "So. What you're saying is that Strator & customers will eventually go broke, and collapse all on their own, without outside interference."

"Essentially... Yes. They'll struggle, certainly. But their economies will never be a match for us - or anyone else who adheres to free market (And worker) principles. Think of them as an anachronistic joke that'll die off sooner or later."

I welcome you with open arms, a the slave trade has been part of every great nation (OOC:except Napoleans france) why should a government be forced to drop these practices just to fit in with the others.

Here is some information on my nation:

50,000 square feet is currently being mined for uranium, much remains to be found
100,000 square feet is being mined for what is referred to as the blood gem
We have 100 other precious stone mines
500 Arms and military equipment factories around the country
Thousands of researchers working on genetic enhancements for humans
Tens of thousands research new military technology
To all those in support of a governments rights:

I thank you for understanding that my country should be allowed to go its own way, i assure you that none of the sick or worse quality slaves are to be killed. They are just moved to a sick slave category Read http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=518169 and are bought for different purposes such as medical research.

To all those against the union:

I am fine with your unwillingness to trade with my nation, as some of my practices do not fit in with yours. But I am not fine with hostile actions, my country is fast growing and I make up for my current lack of troops with my tactical skills, I have already taken out a large part of a vaster nations navy. Soon i will have more troops thus making my nation even harder to defeat.

There are no international laws, you can go to war with, not trade with me, but you have no right to claim my countries actions as illegal. I am not a member of the UN so i don't have to conform to the internationally accepted human rights laws. The people i put up for being sold as slaves are criminals in my country and are being given a chance at redemtion in other countries rather than execution or life without parol.

Our nuclear industry is very massive and constantly expanding, providing entire nations with power and feeding power-hungry industries, yearly processing U3O8 in millions of tons. We think we can purchase the entire current supply, and look forward to establishing constant flow at full production capacity of the mines. We expect the current mines can provide 500 kilotons per year at ease, and, with intensifying productions, provide up to 1000 kilotons.

Very well. We'll transport the first shipments by airlift, and are currently negotiating partial blockade lifting with Rosdivan. Please keep at least one airfield or major road prepared for heavy aircraft landing.


We aren't planning to join the union, as we prefer economic incentives for people to work rather than enslaving. The irradiated wastelands of Vault 10 make survival without corporate support impossible, eliminating need for shackles and other primitive devices.
While not interested in exactly slave purchase, however, some of the slaves are of interest for us. We won't keep them as slaves - they will be liberated upon boarding the transport planes.
So, we would like you to select some slaves which have military background, or feature high physical capabilities. We need both military-skilled ones and just strong and capable, who can be used for many roles in the army.

To simplify the process, we would like to start soon - they can board passenger space on the airlifters.
So, considering that "Good condition" category costs $2000 per 100, how much would you request for the best selection?

We are not engaging in slave trade. We purchase resources, not slaves. And, when purchasing slaves, we liberate them, so it isn't slavery. This is just a way for us to provide immigration.

All members will be supported when under pressure and be able to purchase slaves cheaper from slave selling members such as my own nation of strator. Band together and fight those who follow these weak and unlasting ideas and morals. Democracy has been around since late in the greek empire, slavery has been around for much longer. Its tried, true and helps a country thats lost its footing get back on track.

"Unacceptable," the High Emperor spoke, as much to himself as to the aides that recorded his words for posterity, traditional feather quills scratching over thick paper in elegant calligraphy that would soon be first transcribed onto the palace's massive databanks, and then sealed in the low oxygen record room to be maintained until such a time as the originals were needed.

"Military invention is not an option, as you are doubtlessly aware, High Emperor," said Lord Halthor, seeming to materialize behind the throne.

High Emperor Lächthaii, with a great effort of will, managed not to start at the sudden sound. Lord Halthor made him... nervous, between the tatoos and his habit of appearing without warning. Though Lächthaii had been somewhat prepared this time.

"Which is why I summoned you, instead of one of the generals or the admiral," said Lächthaii, without turning around. As much as Halthor unnerved him, he trusted him not to stab him in the back. He was completely certain that if Halthor ever killed him, he would know it was coming, he would be on his feet, and he would have a weapon in his hands. He didn't expect any of that to do him any good if the day came, but still... "I want a small team to, covertly, remove the leader of Strator from his earthly burden (a well known euphemism for seperating a soul from a body, or, more bluntly, killing) and give the general impression that the same may well happen to the sucessor if this disgusting practice continues."

Halthor said nothing, and by the time Lächthaii turned, he had gone. In a few days time, he would board a private plane bound for Strator, along with a carefully assembled team of 'valets' and 'personal assistants'.
Halthor nodded

OOC: It might be difficult for Strator to ship slaves when all his ports are occupied by my and Wardog's forces and naval and air forces blockading him are a dime a dozen. ;)

OOC: Seconded. Do read the bit in my surrender terms about your slave trade being blockaded still, aside from your "liberation buying" exception that I accepted from your version, please. My sword may no longer be at your throat per se, but it is still at my proverbial belt, remember.;)
Thanks; so far you've RPed a great occupation, actually. It's b/c of your general compliance with the agreed terms AFAIK (I'll let orders slide so long as they're in compliance), and good humor too in that, that my country can allow you your personal Kirov airship and forces back after all.

That's not very nice! Didn't your mom ever teach you anything? Don't kill people over their punishment for criminals. You aren't the only person who knows how to assasinate.
;) Don't push me

@ Strator: Well, the first buy under the terms should be coming up, so you might just see me @ your store soon; once I get back from work tonight.
@ Barudii: ^=Win.:cool: I know the rule about those who live by the sword and those who live by the gun, hence why my actual occupation army has modern guns and body armor besides their old-school trenchcoats and Budyennovkas (Zh86 titanium flak-jacket going on under the coat and STSh-81 Sphere titanium helmet going under the Budyennovka, respectively. Essentially, my army dresses like a modernized version of Soviet troops during the 1940 Winter War...).

Strator is INVINCIBLE do not even bother trying to assasinate him
In other words, please don't

I shall fight back and Strator has hundreds of doubles and is currently in an airship so it would be pretty hard to kill him, and also he is very cunning and cautious
