A True Drug Empire

Enrique Hernandez grinned happily as he opened the shutters, looking down at the field outside. It was early morning, and yet the farm was already abuzz with work, giant combine harvesters moving slowly through the poppy field, the whitish buds swallowed into the maws of the steel monsters.

The combine harvesters were light green, marked with the Allanean Pharmaceuticals logo. The company was famous world-wide, controlling over 35% of Allanea’s medical and recreational drug market – and Enrique’s family owned forty percent of its stock. Addtionally, they also dabbled in industrial hemp.

Enrique was the company’s Executive for Public Relations.

He watched gleefully as the company cameramen walked out of the house, their large hi-resolution cameras aimed at the combine harvesters as they made their way off the field. Today was the last day of harvest.

The poppy buds wold be minced up and loaded into large semitrailer trucks – these would carry them to a purification plant about twenty miles away.

Allanean Pharmaceuticals didn’t take to growing of opium by means of using the labor of uneducated farmers in third-world countries – they didn’t need to. Every single worker on this farm was an ethnic Edolian who grew up on opium farms, and whose family and ancestors were making opium for generations and generations. For these people opium and its products were a way of life – and they knew how to do it well.

Elsewhere, Enrique knew, similar farms were operating in the Hash and Mgweni – there, the locals made it their expertise to grow hemp. Even now, thousands of trucks were carting hemp buds and leaves to factories – and there it would be converted to high-grade hashish and marijuana of a thousand varieties, from pre-made hash brownies to trademark ‘FunnyTea’ teabags. The hemp was also used for industry – to make cloth, rope, aviation fuel for the Air Force, and even napalm.

Far away, in Allanean Kentucky, vast factories pumped out thousands of tons of methamphetamine. Unlike the operations in countries that prohibit drugs, these were vast programs, where the purity of the drugs was ensured and daily inspections by the company prevented accidents.

And the company wasn’t limited to vast amounts of recreational drugs. Not just LSD, morphine, and so forth, for use at home and abroad – but also various medical and semi-medical products, for export and import, for markets in Allanea, Ancient and Holy Terra, and other nations. Even in Reichskamphen, industrial hemp made by Allaneans was used to make military uniforms and produce fuel for Imperial tanks.

Given the complete legality of it’s procedures, Allanean Pharmaceuticals, Incorporated didn’t need to hire ‘soldiers’ to protect it’s enterprise. Indeed, the Allanean Army was there to protect the hemp farms, the methamphetamine factories, the hi-tech laboratories for them. Many remembered how foreigners once sent B-52 aircraft to destroy the Allanean Pharmaceuticals company – and how hundreds of foreign pilots were slaughtered in the skies.

As such, the products of the company were far cheaper then one would expect – and Enrique’s press release would account for that fact.

Two days later, the company created a five-minute propaganda video mash-up recording it’s various facilities, and launched it on NSYoutubue. Millions of dollars were spent to promote it in countries where such a thing was legal. By the end of the week, literally billions of new customers would have heard of the company.

OOC:

THIS IS NOT A REGULAR STOREFRONT. I will ignore posts where you post ‘I order X tons of stuff’ unless they’re somehow well-detailed and RPed.. Please just post in the format of ‘N tons of stuff are imported in my nation per year.

Also a note of importance: while Allanean Pharmaceuticals will not admit it, trhere are literally thousands of professional smugglers in Allanea that'll happily help you get these drugs to your country of choice. So I suppose you'd have a lot of cheap cocaine coming in now. :) Feel free to post whatever IC reaction you find relevant.

The AUM - Alfegos Underground Ma'fia - were interested in this latest drug offer. It would be a lasting rlation, earning them millions.

They would supply, and import.

The negotiator, Maf'soi, was onboard a small, sleek speed boat headed for where they knew they could contact them. Onboard was their first payment: 5 kg of the refined Fego'sias drug, known more commonly as Zen. It had the effect of severing the mind from the body, the conciousness detached, only vaguely aware of what was going on.

It was popular among artists, and those who wanted freedom, to escape life. And it sold on the streets for about Æ30 for one tablet. In all, there was about 8000 tablets in a kilo. 1 would make you unawares of yourself for a day. Two, for a few days. But three...

When you woke up, you would be a new person: your consiousness severed from your body, effectively dead. Noone ODed in it. They knew the conseqeunces from the news stories.

In all, their shipment was worth about Æ1.2 million, about the same in dollars. They would use this to import the fastly increasingly popular Cocaine and Opium: Heroin was shunned upon, as noone wanted its effects.

OOC: Alfegos, check your TGs.

Sorry about hijacking your thread a little Allenea, though you may hear from me in the future on this subject.

Allanean Response

We unfortunately have no interest in a payment in kind. However, we recommend the following deal: we will give you 3,000 tons of cocaine should you provide a recipe for this drug, and afterwards we will sell you our products under the normal rate. As usual, we have nothing to do with getting them into your country.

What was not mentioned in the message was that Allanea literally teemed with smugglers of different kinds – speed boat pilots, daredevils with Cessna smuggler planes, those who knew how to hide drugs in the seats of commercial airliners and inside children’s toys. It would be in fact possible to even put out an ad for a smuggle in a newspaper – and a dozen would likely answer.

Drakomis observed the communication with interest. Long ago Allanea had allied dealings with Anagonia, but he doubted they remembered. He observed the drug dealings and smirked. It was like Allanea to do this. Looking at his computer screen, he started a reply of personal interest. It would be short, but to the point.

TO: Allanea, whomever it may concern, ect.
FROM: An old friend.

I see your up to your old tricks again. Nice to see you. Hope to have future dealings.

And the response came:

Greetings, friends. We are pleased to know you are still there. Need anything?

And the response came. (COPYCATING!)

Um...not really...unless you have Pepsi in storage or Vodka. Thanks anyway. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
