The economy of Bredford was flourishing.

the unemployment has been decreased in %0.08, the GDP per capita made it to the $40,000, the stock market was flourishing, the export has passed two trillion , the BRD Credit gained twenty cents, and the new investments in Kahanistan and Alfegos raised Bredford's economic influence.

However, in one day..

The oil company "Komo Oil Corp" bankrupted.
nobody expected it.

Oil companies in Bredford usually took loans from the banks, in order to build new oil well or something like that, and they were always repaying it.
so the banks also tryied to profit from this deal, and raised interest for the oil companies. this wasn't really influencing the oil company, so they continued.
however, "Komo Oil Corp" was apparently in big losses, for a year now.

it seemed like the company was out of cash, and in debt of $550 billion USD to the banks.
ofcourse, the situation had happened before, and "Komo Oil Corp" sold assets regulary to keep itself.
however now, they were officialy declared bankrupt.

and "Komo Oil Corp" weren't small company, they were trillion dollar company, and their falling could lead to larger fallings on the market.

And in the mean time, the Bredford bourse keeps crashing, as many oil-related companies began falling.. who knows what will happen next.

The Mephrasian Empire is sad to hear of the economic trouble that plagues our Novan neighbor. We would be willing to offer low interest loans in various amounts, and would be willing to provide our own economic advisers. We suggest in the meantime, to take care of your people, to expand social welfare and ensure that the populace is fed.

General Resources Conglomerate would like to bid on the leftover assets of Komo Oil, provided the government does an assessment of how much they are worth on the open market.

General Resources Conglomerate wishes to reopen Komo Oil as a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Resources Conglomerate to give back jobs to BredFord citizens and help stave off a major economic crisis.

Due to the economic agreements between Breford and Alfegos, such as the BAECT (Breford - Alfegos Economic Co-operation Treaty), the Alfegos government felt obliged to purchase $40 billion worth of bonds in the Breford government.

Greal is willing to loan 50 billion to Bredford.

OOC: i think you didn't understand. its a company bankrupt, not an entire country crisis, though it might develop. the goverment dosen't need loans or anything similar.

IC:

To General Resources Conglomerate:

The goverment of Bredford has discussed with the banks, and the assets will be fully sold to cover all the debts "Komo Oil Corp" has, to the banks, in bonds, to the stockowners and so far..

The company had a debt of $550 billion to the banks, another $85 billion in bonds, and the stock-owners of the company will be repayed in $0.30 for each stock they owned (which means $51,000,000,000).

the total price for the assets is therefore: $686,000,000,000 Universal Dollars.

However, local companies already bidded $720,000,000,000 for the company, mainly BIC (Bredford International Commerce).


Bredford Bourse-

In the mean time, the small (relatively, $650 billion USD) oil company "Geogra Oil" crashed with several oil-realted companies (such as piping and refining companies).
it seems that the entire crash didn't only effected the oil market, but also the financial market, as the company E.F.G (Edward Finance Group) crashed, as their most of their investments were in the oil market, specifically at "Komo Oil Corp".

Losses for this time are measured in $3.5 trillion universal dollars, making it the largest economic crash the Bredford Bourse ever experienced.

the total damages are unknown, as Bredfordian investment companies began losing hope in the oil companies, and further crashes are expected not only on the oil market.

it appears that the goverment is hopless on the situation, as a full closing of the stock market will totally destroy the investors confidence, and letting it stay open might cause a full economic crisis, and the economic law number #81 forbids the goverment from holding any stocks in the Bredford Bourse.

Bump..

The Alfegos Rare Earth Metal company, the richest in Alfegos, had seen the tumbling value of the large oil firm, and saw it was a good time for a bid to take it over.

$1 Trillion dollars, equivalent to around Æ750 billion, was the bid put forward for the oil company. This hopefully ould be a good investment.

The bid of Alfegos Rare Earth Metal company has been accepted. Bredford International Commerce offers $2 trillion dollars.


In the Bredford Bourse, the stocks of the light drinks company "Super-Soda Coala" has crashed to the bottom, with the stock crashed in one day from $11 to $0.3, "BeBe Drinks" and "Vexel Silver" has declined in %19 each.

Many startup companies (especially manufacturing ones) crashed today on the market, as investors began losing confidence.

Losses are now estimated at $6,000,000,000,000.

Representives from "Vellion Bank" and "Wall & Bien Banking Services" have met today in effort to find a solution to the market falling.

OOC: What are the customs like in your country? What can I bring in, what if I bring in a lot of people at once on a private jet?

General Resources Conglomerate

We'd like to offer a deal to pay $.50 to every dollar on the shares of Komo Oil Corp. We feel this is a more than generous offer that pays a ludicrously high amount for a company that has failed so utterly.

We recommend we take this to the shareholders themselves without bothering to have a government intermediate. This is the free market after all, let us meet them and greet them.

We also put forth a deal to pay right now, $.55 cents for every dollar for every share of Super Soda Cola, and wish to put it to a stockholder's vote.

Lists of companies hurt from the falling (manufacturing ones):

% is buyable percent. [xxxx] is price of the buyable part. Notes:xxxx is special notes. NW: xxx is networth.


"Super Soda Coala" %20 [$72 billion USD] NW: $360 billion USD (Light drinks company)

"Commonwealth National Arms Ltd." %5 [$145 billion USD] NW: $2.9 trillion. (Producing ammo, rifles, tanks, and other military ground systems)

"Southport Gruman" %20 [$180 billion USD] Notes: also builds civilian ships. NW: $900 billion. (Military and civilian ships building company)

"Newfield Car Industries Co." %10 (%5 by single entity) [$100 billion USD USD] NW: $1 trillion USD. Notes: Subsidiary of "Newfield Heavy Industries". (Cars Manufacturing)

"Genius House" %20 [$340 billion USD] NW: $1.7 trillion. (Electronics company)


Bredford Bourse-

And in the mean time, the stocks of "Newfield Electronics" and "Newfield Industries Inc." keep falling, as the investors are thinking that the stock disaster in "Newfield Car Industries Co." (%69 crash in one day) might have bad influence on the mother company itself, and its subsidaries.

It appears that sectors are falling together, and the stockholders of "Teor Electronics" and "Genius House" already began selling stocks, fearing a total crash of the Electronics sector, altough it seems "Genius House" suffered more.

In the mean, the stocks of the large conglomerate "Lexus Motors" has experienced a %9 fall, however every fall like this could lead to %90 fall in the almost violent climate on the Bredfourd Bourse. It seems that "Bredford International Commerce" not only hasn't falled, but also made some small gains (%3).

The losses are staggering, and arrived to the mighty sum of $9.5 trillion dollars. economic analysts are fearing this will have a crippling impact on the Bredfordian economy.

TO: Bredford Bourse
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Stock purchases

The Lyran Governmental Trade Department would like to submit bids for the following stock:

Commonwealth National Arms Ltd. (5% of total worth) [$145 billion NSD]
Southport Gruman (20% of total worth) [$180 billion NSD]
Newfield Car Industries (5% of total worth) [$50 billion NSD]

Further to that, Lyran Arms has submitted a tender to Southport Grumman for the production of three hundred medium tank transport ships in the 25,000 tonne range. While injecting substantial amounts of capital, the four year project will provide continuity of employment and continuation of cash supply into that crucial area of Bredford's economy.

Lyran Arms has issued a public statement, declaring that it will purchase any available shares to any Bredfordian Manufacturing concerns. North Stornian analysts predict certainty of demand will shore up Bredfordian share prices.

Negotiations between Lyran Arms and the Bredfordian Bourse are ongoing. Should there be any questions specifically for me, please let me know.

Dear Sir/ Ma'am,

VLT Automotive is one of the largest automobile manufacturers worldwide, but is always interested in acquiring more stocks in more automobile companies. We must say, we have been following the developments in Bredford with some concern. Therefore, we have made the decision to make ourselves useful, and offer to buy stocks in the Automotive Companies of Bredford.

With this, we hope to get the automotive manufacturing capability of Bredford back on it's feet, and also generate income to recuperate from the rest of the economic collapse, if we may call it this way.

Now, many companies in Bredford wish to expand into Pinguinum, and i am sure they can.. however, i have a few questions.

By recent check we did, there are few... disturbing things we find in your nation. PMC seems to be your only Television company, which may state on two things... one, that you are a socialist nation that has state companies, and second, that you might not have a free, unmonopolized market economy.
Anyway, either of them dosen't look well, especially for more then two hundred million population state.

Hope you answer me soon,

Victoria Mackenzie,
Bredford Minister of Finance.

Economy Law #331 was written today at the goverment office.

Economy Law #331, or "The Anti-Communist law" as he soon became known, forbided any activity of any element coming from country without free-market economy (thus, including Iron First & Compulsory Consumerist States). basically meaning, any company registered in country without free-market economy, or any company which is the subsidiary of one and so on, are forbided from any activity in Bredford. any citizen coming\born\parents or grandparents born\strong feeling to\ever had been a citizen\visitor on those countries will be, on his arrival to Bredford, interrogated by the secret agency. any assets of those mentioned will be automatically confiscated and auctioned to citizens or returned to companies.

It appears you have done inadequate research regarding television and I would say that you also appear to have no broadcasting, postal or telephone network.

If you wish to trade with Pinguinum, it is best practice not to make remarks about competition.


PMC now renamed PBC is the main original broadcasting company. Although, it appears that we have only one, there are others although they aren't as popular and don't carry as much weight.
You will have to dig depper to find all of our information. There is already a substantial amount of information on the World Factfile (wiki). If it isn't on there, then it will be on the official government website.

PBC is regulated by the Ministry of Communication not controlled or owned by it.

Every company in our nation is regulated by a government ministry.

This is standard practice and is perfectly acceptable.
As I said, we are developing our stock exchange.



It concerns us that you say you still have a strong economy even though you have suffered an economic crisis.
My answer to the telegram will come in the next fews days. HM is currently reviewing the governmnetal ministries. At the moment, the request is being dealt with by the Office of Companies.

Our Television, Radio, and Telephone network are all made by very small companies, however, there is very large number of them. (more precisely, 67 Television companies, 42 Radio companies, and 79 Telephone companies) those companies are mostly local (like "Silvet-Vision", or "OaktownTelex"), but there are some who are country wide (like "SuperPhone", or "Radio One").

Economic Crisis, is something temporary. it will be over.

Thank you and good day,

Victoria Mackenzie,
Bredford Finance Minister.

To: National Bank of Hamilay
From: Bredford Bourse Group

We wish to know, before authorizing such a large investment, is the National Bank of Hamilay a private company? if it is a goverment organization, we cannot possibly allow this buying.

To: AEFN
From: Victoria Mackenzie

We thank the AEFN for its noble interests in helping our economy, but unless the investment is made by private company or person, it is not allowed.

Thank you and good day,

Victoria Mackenzie, Bredford Minister of Finance.

I would like to know more about these companies you talk about. What are all their names and logos. Would you mind if I added them to the government list of companies... For record purposes.

OOC: and those "argus krystals" worth how much in dollars?

To: William Wexter, CEO of Bredford Bourse
Subject: RE:Procurement of stocks for Automotive Companies

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your answer regarding my last letter. I have contacted you once again to finalise deals for the automotive market in Bredford. As of now, we are interested in buying large portions of all three companies, but seeing this isn't possible, we will be acquiring the maximum amount of stock for each, being:

"Commonwealth Automobiles (CWA)" %20 [$144 billion USD]
"Newfield Car Industries Inc." (NCI)" %5 [$50 billion USD USD]

Also, we would like to state our interest in buying further stocks of all three companies. This would preferably be done in cooperation with the companies themselves.

Signed,

Miss Kristin Becker
Board of Managers,
VLT Automotive Group N.V.

Very well then, we shall inform our corporations of the matter...

ECONOMIC SLUMP!!!!, Fresh Meat!!!!, send an offer this instant boys!, economic downturn equals crime which equals prisoners, which we need for the mining, and weapons testing!,
Message to the Nation Of Bredford........
New Trindad PLC. amd its competitors, Umojan PLC. and the Kel-Morian PLC. will be more than happy to take over our offer in the Bredford Bourse

OOC: That would be... $6.5 trillion USD.

No weapons are allowed, at all. its a big possibilty that you may not even be able to enter, because of your nation category (Compulsory Consumerist State), which is basically communist in the eyes of the goverment. you will not be able to bring ANY products from your country, and your ability to bring money from your our country will be... extremely limited (to the amount of 500 BRD Credits). your ability to buy at our country will also be extremely limited, and monitored by goverment agencies.
As you can see, we extremely dislike communists. just try to make a strange move or gesture near a person and that will be 'a try to hurt a Bredfordian citizen'. try to smoke, and it will 'Ecological Terrorism', that's partially also because we don't like smoking, but mostly because you are communist. lolz. have fun.

OOC: The nation category is wrong due to a bad choice among those notoriously hyperbolic issues. I've been trying to be nice and moderate in them but it hasn't gone back yet. And most people don't RP by their nation page.

Anywho, what about private jets? Are they searched? What about international shipping? For a country your size, billions of tons of goods must enter via shipping routes and that would take millions of workers and thousands of ships moving around. Can you honestly say you can search all that without spending tens of trillions on security and delaying by several weeks all industry that relies on external shipping.

OOC:
I have to agree here. For a start, penguins don't frolick though forests.:)

I know, the whole game is hyperbolic, it mentions about being quite exagerrated in the FAQ page.:)

I try to play as realistically as possible.

The security checks are in airports. Private Jets are not searched. Shipping from netural countries are searched, from allied countries not (which is like %99 of my import). HOWEVER, the private jet must be already written in the Ministry of transport. so you will have to register it. and it must be from allied nation for not to be searched.

(OOC: no reply for me?)

OOC: sorry, i thought i have answered you. Your purchases are approved (i have no time for IC message, since i am going to play COD2 now. bye)

OOC: Well turns out the issue about regulating newspapers a bit more strictly turned me into a Compulsory Consumerist State, and I'm back to Capitalist Paradise. I'm afraid to mess with it again.

And I've sold you weapons before, shouldn't we qualify for neutral country?

Umm.. not as i remember. oh, those bombers. well..

%100 tax rate? lol. that's is communist state, no matter what is your UN category.

OOC: I don't RP that tax rate because it makes no sense for a capitalist paradise to have a 100% tax rate. I RP a bracketed tax around 12-30% depending on your income and a corporate tax of between 10-20% depending on business size and market penetration.

Ah... Ok then. your neutral nation. still that means you are searched. however your not viewed as 'Communist scum' anymore.

OOC: Is your crisis settled now? I presume it is but I haven't heard from you in a while. Curiouser and curiouser...
