Crystal Bay, Blubland

Out in the shallow, pale blue waters of Crystal Bay sat a huge artificial island. Stretching nearly twenty kilometers long and fourteen wide, Paradise Island was built to last. Sheltered from storm surges by the southern lip of Crystal Bay, the island had a mostly solid gravel and concrete base atop which sat an additional twenty meter layer of landfill and then fourty meters of sand and soil.

On Paradise Island there were hundreds of buildings still under construction. The amusement parks were finished for the most part, and employees were undergoing their in-depth training for operating the amusement park rides, saftey, public relations and first aid. Equipment in food establishments ranging from fast food burgers to 5 star "dining experiences" were tested, cooks practiced.

All buildings were constructed to be "green friendly" out of materials which would shed heat in the warm climate and retain cool air to reduce the need for air conditioning. Water used in buildings and storm drains would be pumped underground and filtered until it could be reused for showers, toilets and laundry. The need for drinking water was filled by sea water filters, as well as each building being equipped with sophisticated gutter systems to tank the water to the filtering building for processing.

Paradise Island had three large scale golf courses, two fresh water lakes for boating, fishing and recreation and even its own zoo. Shallow or deep ocean fishing tours were available, yachting, sailing, motor boating were also in abundance.

Paradise Island even came equipped with a large building housing ski slopes in a controlled weather enviornment, and there were talks of holding Olympic qualifications there during the summer.

The island was coming together. It would soon be opening. Already.. televisions across the world hinted at the venture, and reservations were beginning to fill.

To:Blubland
From:Adm Arnold, Head of Calizorinstani Navy

We wish to reserve a spot on Paradise Island if you don't mind, maybe a house or a room or something like that.

A pamphlet will be mailed to the inquirerer, with pictures of beachfront timeshares and condos which are still available. A little more than half of the properties have been 'bought out' so far, with plenty more left. An additional 25% of timeshare and condo rentals will remain vacant to allow for 1 to 3 day vacations by people who can't afford to pay very big for a more permanent place.

Thus, everyone gets to experience Paradise Island. Coming Soon!

AFTERBURNER

Afterburner would like to propose a deal, since the whole island is being used for the vacation spot you'll need aircraft for quick transportation. We have both military and civilian grade aircraft of many kinds and very well trained pilots/crew. If you hire us we can transport your guest or cargo for you and for a cheap price too. Just come by and tell us what you need (see link in sig) or if you have any questions. We hope to hear a reply from you soon.

YO! How are y’all doing? I hope fine as I want some land on this Paradise Island. I wants enough land to place a fifteen bedroom mansion on and use it as an out of Dominion home. I’ll even build this mansion Earth friendly. It would be my chill spot at Paradise Island.

Get back as soon as possible.

From the desk of Jonathan Skinner, Chief Executive Officer, 30th Century Realty

I would like to offer your company a lump sum of 5 million Whyatican credits in order to keep the Transylvanians out of Paradise Island. I personally hate their nation and their leader, and I will do whatever it takes to prevent them from having any presence in Haven, even if civilian. I would also like to purchase a 5 acre plot at the current market price.

Tranny,
We have acknowledged your inquiry, but due to the Haven's strict health codes and rules about diseases and such, we are forced to decline your request for the time being.

Calizorinstan,
The current going price is 250,000 dollars per acre of land. Due to the costs of constructing the island and obvious marketable value, we feel this is very fair. We look forward to continued business.

Afterburner,
We currently have no national airline. We would like to contract you to operate out of the Crystal City airport to deliver guests from all over the world.

Whatever. You just will not get my money then. And diseases? I don’t know what you’re talking about on that. The United Dominion has damn good health care system, we don't have any diseases. But there is a disease in Haven, it is called the Clandonians. Stay away form them as they lead you in unneeded war.

OOC: No offense, but are you trying to go bankrupt or your airliner doesn't pay for fuel, repairs and other things of that sort? Your wasting a lot of money doing a stunt like this. Wouldn't it be easier just to offer a smaller price then mine?

We are willing to negotiate the fee and maybe even lower it if you would like.

OOC: Your right, cause the price of the ticket/flight doesn't cover those things, you logic is undeniable. Why would some one pay you to operate out of their airport?

OOC: Really? I have no clue... :confused: Maybe because Afterburner is a mercenary cooperation and people pay us to do the work for them.

Deny the Skyians the right to be the sole carriers into Paradise Island, my friend. As our nations border each other, wouldn't it make more sense to allow us to be the deliverer of people from whereever they want to Paradise Island?

We will pay you $60 million a year for this right.

A plot of land for Cohenia Corporations executives would also come. Air Cohenia maintains a large fleet and a large source of destinations, arriving at most capitals in the region of Haven and other regions worldwide.
