Nations of the World:

The United States of Cookesland has owned the territory of Ugotini for several years now, but has decided to now auction it off to the nation, corporation, or political entity that bids the highest.

Ugotini is a large island about 1782 m2 or 4615 km2 that has many natural resources such as coal, iron, tin, and copper and also possible oil off it's coast.

The Island has a very varied terrain from the northern mountains to plains in the south. It has a temperate climate and is affected by the four seasons. The island is uninhabited, but there are weather stations and buildings previously used by scientists.


Unfortunately we feel the island is too far away from Cookesland to both effectively maintain and manage. So we hope to find a suitable buyer for this territory.

The starting bid is 10,000,000 Universal Standard Dollars

350 Million

This is the top bid so far

OOC: 350 million is worth less?

One-hundred and fifty Billion USD

$260 mill

One point zero five trillion Universal Standard Dollars, along with the former deal.

Vontanas's deal was 1.150 trillion USD. We, instead, bid 1.2 trillion USD

OOC: ...he bid 1.5trillion

OOC: Oh really? Then my bad.

1.6 trillion then...

Two trillion dollars then.

$2.1 trillion.

Too rich for my blood.

The Democratic Empire of Great Vantania adds it's previous bid, 1.05 trillion USDs and arms deal, to it's comrade Vetalia.

So with the combined offer from Great Vantania & Vetalia the highest bid is 3.6 Trillion plus the billion dollar arms deal, if my math is correct

4 trillion!

4 trillion!

OOC: I just realized that's an obscene amount of money for the land. However, once that bastard's converted to an enclave the economic output will be pretty close to $2 trillion or so. So, it'll be paid for in a decade.

bump to see if anyone else is interested

Interested. 4.1 billion by Dealthy Hallows Corporation, located in the VDB.

Sorry, the bets are in the trillions now.

We are curious as to wether you have the economic ability to pay the 98 trillion that you have bid.

We are able thank you very much.

bump for post error

[That is all a load of crap. None of the last several bids are even remotely believable. No country has 250 trillion to spend like that, especially considering Ruthless Slaughters entire GDP is no more than 150trillion. UK2, no way in hell it has even a fraction of it's bid. This is all nonsense godmodding by the majority of the bidders. Cook, put a stop to this.]

If this is how NS works... 1,000 trillion!

Actually, the last pheasible bid was around ten trillion. (Checked economy calcs as well as economic standing) That being the case and admitting our folly at bidding our entire economy and then some with our research into our opponents, our only bid will be 11 trillion USD.

OOC:
Thanks to Kroando for blowing the whistle. It's very late where I am and I'm just not thinking.

In the interests of the UDD, Shenyang has decided to offer to meet Ruthless Slaughter's bid half-way, with 6 trillion USD.

The VDB wishes to add on 1 trillion to Shenyang and Ruthless Slaughter's offers in the name of the UDD!

[OoC: Yeah, im ending this now. By the way what's the UDD?]


The Auction is now over...


The Winning bid is 18 Trillion of Ruthless Slaugher, Shenyang, and Vanek Drury Brieres and a weapons deal offered by RS

The island of Ugotini is now yours

Edit: 2,000th post w00t!

The UDD stands for the United Defense Directorate, an alliance based off of nations coming together as a universal think tank for advancing technology. As a result, all member nations are actively working to improve quality of life for their citizens as well as developing extremely efficient weapons for defensive purposes only, unless an ally is attacked.

RS, Shenyang, and me, I suggest we split it like this-

I get 1/19 of the isle, and RS can have 12/19, and Shen can have 6/19. Suggestion.

And I'll buy some of your part of the isle, RS and Shen. In total, I have around 100 miles squared, Shen had 500, and RS has 1100 with my proposed plan.

Sounds good, my plan is for my portion to be owned privately by my chief arms manufacturer, United WeaponsTech and have a massive research and testing facility with unconfirmed reports of biological research (thread ideas anyone?). I'll start up a map and we can edit it from there. Everyone take a look at the geographic description and pick an area. I'll definitely be setting up shop in the mountains.
