Just like it says on the tin...who has the best Presidential [Edit: OR ROYAL!] Plane, Yacht, Palace, Cars, Helicopters...skis...who has the oddest of these? Plates of cookies to those with the most interesting designs.

I'll kick off:

So, our NS nation? Would this not be better suited to the NationStates forum rather than General?

I was unsure. If anyone wants to move it, please do.

I was unsure. If anyone wants to move it, please do.

i'd simply loooove to move it, ... but i can't :(

I was unsure. If anyone wants to move it, please do.Seeing how much thought and work you put into this, it would be a bit sad to see it drown or being spammed here in General. I think you best post a thread in Moderation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1231) and ask them to move this to the appropriate forum (probably the NationStates one?). :)


Edit: I just made the thread in Moderation & asked for the thread to be moved.

Our empress has one of these:

OOC: Ignore the livery.

This is the primary aircraft used by Field Marshall Maximus Seville II for official traveling engagements. It is a custom designed 4 engined jet airplane based on a Phoenix Dynamix prototype featuring modern military-grade avionics and defenses with the accommodations of a luxury cruise liner. It also contains high-tech communications and observation electronics.

From time to time, he also may use the UH-1A1 Super Huey,The C-13 JackRabbit supersonic transport, the C-15 Nova, the C-16RD and in a pinch the C-14, on official business. As a qualified pilot he frequently flies other commercial and military aircraft for both fun and non-official self-transport. A specialized, massive airship (details classified ) can also be used by the Field Marshall for command and control of the entire nation and its military.

My MT Empress seals a message in a bottle for your FT guy.

"Your dragon is so pretty. I wish I could have one just like it! Sadly, Kesshite dragons just rampage instead of letting their Empress ride them. It's unpatriotic.

AIV Destiny
Destiny Class Destroyer. First (and so far only) of it's class.

This sucker's only 260 meters long and manuvers like the small ship she is, but she also packs the punch of a full-on war cruiser, complete with all-new (or advanced form of old) weaponry, an ESG, deployable ablative armor, hull-hugging shields, and a highly-experimental phase cloak. Built using a combo of ancient Atlantian, Zoir, and Demon (Titan) technology.

And Empress Atlantia, the hands-on asskicker she is, has (or will) claim this vessel as her own personal command.

If those are award winning dogs, Maraque...as someone who's been to numerous dog shows (a fact I'm not proud of) and owner of 3 Great Danes...award winning ones have their ears cropped up.

My president has a special edition of Playboy printed for his personal use.

PWNED!

Oh, once there was a war because of that magazine, I can link you guys to the thread, if you wish.

A war over a playboy magazine, I'd love to see that thread lol.

As for my president - well, he just got bunker busted so that position is kind of vacant at the moment, though I figure I'll go for an armoured ferrari, a Gurkha, or some sort of luxury airship...or all three, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I am so sorry I let you down. I feel so bad now.

Sure. If you want a specially-painted SuCO-1 like this...go order one from SU here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=486999) (Space Union is the only place to get the best planes :p) and I'll see what I can do. Credit, btw, must go to Willink for his excellent work on the original lineart of this plane, which I have since bastardised.

Can't do without those.

The Empire does not have a President, its head of state being His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty uses a variety of ways to get around, and many of these modes of transport are also utilised by members of government.

Aircraft

2 x Airbus A340-600 specially modified to carry seventy passengers
6 x Airbus A321 specially modified to carry between twenty-four and seventy passengers
6 x Mil M-24 specially modified to carry between twenty-four and thirty-six passengers
(on order) 4 x Boeing 787-900 - likely to be modified to carry fifty-six passengers - it is also likely that these will replace four of the 321s

Ships

2 x Ptolemais Class vessel modified to carry 560 passengers. It looks similar to this

6 x 200 foot yacht designed to carry thirty-six passengers

Trams

8 x AF class trams (#248-#256)

Motor Vehicles

Official Ptolemais Residence of His Majesty the Emperor

http://www.umdiewelt.net/pics/49_19_IMGP3337.jpg

His Majesty has thirteen further residences throughout the Empire and the old Ptolemais Summer Palace has become the usual residence of His Majesty since 1965

Built at the end of the nineteenth century, the prime minister’s special luxury train, the Veriadënwën, is rarely used in today’s hectic world. Opulent, glamorous and extravagant, it is resplendent with lavish sleeping compartments, intimate lounges, cabaret restaurants, and saloon cars that house stylish smoking compartments and fashionable drawing rooms. The private train also has (amongst other things) a special cabinet conference car, a press car, and the prime minister’s personal office car. The Veriadënwën is the very last word in luxury, comfort, and class, with elegant brocaded draperies, soft gilt leather upholstered armchairs, and rare mahogany panelling.

The lineart was originally drawn by Willink, edited by yours truly, and coloured by me. It is based on the specs drawn up by Space Union (link above). And its by far one of the less ridiculous things ever seen on II.

The Wagdoggie People's Government is based in the only fitting sort of structure for a Socialist state with big dreams for the future, a Palace of the Revolution!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Palace_of_the_soviets_%281931%29.jpg
Behold the majestic interiors, complete with internationally-recognizable (among Socialists anyway) "Order of Victory" motif...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Iofan_palace_of_soviets_interior_1946.jpg
And the interior plan...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Bauskizze_des_Palastes_der_Sowjets.jpg
This one building is quite large enough (415m tall) to house our National People's Congress (100m tall and 160 central Main Hall normally open to the public, with some 21,000 seats total), Supreme Court (6000 seats in East Wing Little Hall), National People's Political Consultative Conference (6000 seats in West Wing Little Hall), Revolutionary Command Council (the interior office tower just above the Main Hall), General Secretariat & General Secretary's Residence (the tower top just below the upper rotunda and statue base), and offices for all of these.
Included in the given height is, of course, the customary 100m tall and 6,000 metric tonne statue of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin; leader of the first undisputedly Socialist revolution. And last but not least, this time no cathedrals were harmed in the construction of this edifice.

Excelsior EJ-8

http://www.netikka.net/cuesla/ns/bizjet.png

Not the largest, fastest, or most expensive VIP aircraft in the world, the EJ-8 designed and manufactured by Excelsior AeroIndustries is the mainstay VIP jet of the Royal Air Force (KMA).
Seating up to eight passengers in a high-density configuration (five or four in a more spacious outfit), the EJ-8 is mostly used on domestic and near proximity flights, due to its relatively short range.
All of the EJ-8s in KMA service are painted in the same livery, the aircraft pictured here is operated by the 98th Air Transport Squadron, 1st Flight "King's Own".

[OOC: Hehe, funny and interesting...which reminds me, I really need to write up about the executive jet in my own country...]
