The Vetalian Chamber of Commerce has announced a major opportunity for world construction companies to prove their merits through competitive bidding for the construction of Zolotoi Vetalia, the new, secure enclave territory for our country's wealthiest citizens.

We are seeking companies that have extensive experience in constructing luxury residences and infrastructure, and have contacts with the world's finest suppliers of construction materials. This project will cost at least $10 trillion for initial construction over the next 10 years, with additional projects added upon completion for future expansion.

No expense whatsoever will be spared...this land will be home to people with more money than some nations' GDP.


In the wake of the Ghogoth War, the Vetalian government and many of its wealthiest citizens recognize the need to build a new city-state to serve as a secure repository of their wealth as well as to provide an opulent and selective place for our best citizens to reside.

This land, named Zolotoi Vetalia, will be the greatest and wealthiest bastion of Vetalian society in existence and we require the best construction companies in the world to make it a reality. Zolotoi Vetalia will be constructed on a cluster of islands, either within our own territorial waters or preferably on land purchased from a host nation. This land will be managed, secured, and administered by our government and will remain sovereign Vetalian territory.

Q: Why would you want Zolotoi Vetalia near your country?
A: It would be home to the wealthiest of a wealthy culture and would create a massive economic boost for your nation.

Zolotoi Vetalia will be a home to the wealthiest citizens in Vetalia; the cutoff point for even considering residence in the enclave is a real income of 1 billion rubles ($2.18 billion), and it is likely the average resident will have a far higher net worth than this. You must be a Vetalian citizen to live here.


The winning company will receive 66% of the project while the remaining 33% will be split by a consortium of Vetalian companies. This is a rare opportunity for construction companies to literally dominate their competition with one of the biggest projects in history.

So, to sum things up, tell us why you deserve this contract.

OOC: And yes, the inspiration for this territory is Cato Neimoidia, for all you Star Wars fans out there.

The Democratic Empire suggests the Homeland Isles in the Medivantanian Sea, consisting of a midsized isle and minor outlying isles. The three main isles, Boros, Jarlse, and Petus, are named after three famous heroes from early Vantanian history, and are have not yet been settled due to the

What's more, we have a conglomerate of corporations, led by the Buy & Sell Corporation, willing to help in the construction. We promise that no expense will be spared in the building of the city, and that being in the central area of Vantania, you will have maximum protection. The main isle will be enough to hold the Vetalian city, and the other isles can be used as farmland and what not to support the city.

Official Clevingian Communiqué

To the Vetalian Chamber of Commerce:

The Commonwealth of Clevingia would be interested in developing some of the offshore islands around our nation for the purposes of creating Zolotai Vetalia. We would be using the nationalized construction corporations we have utilized to build Deva Victrix from the ground up.

As you can tell from the most cursory examination of Nyquist, our new capital, Clevingia is more than capable of blending the elegance and high culture favoured by Vetalia with practical defence and security needs. For materials and the like, Her Majesty's Clevingian Government is also capable of procuring some of the finest materials in the world, most specifically the transphase aluminum utilized in our Parliament Spire (http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z259/pertinax201/Structures/ParliamentHouse.jpg).

We present the Consular Manor (http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z259/pertinax201/Structures/College_de_Valleyfield_MP.jpg) and downtown Calcaria (http://www.civicarts.com/images/BBY/Business_City_CGI.jpg) as examples of our work.

Sincerely,

Consul of the Clevingian Commonwealth

A consortium of Alfegos Construction co., Polyspastoia and High Dreams have bid for this construction project. It will be located on the island of Ska'ilo, an island with an area of 270 square miles off the east coast of Alfegos, in a sheltered area of the coast.

The island has amazing volcanic beaches, and has at its centre a large tropical rainforest.
There is already a small town there, with the residents who wish to keep their dwelling on the nothern tip of the island in exchange for being hired as discount-rate ancillary workers and domestic servants.

The reasons why the island should be used for Vetalia:

1) The project will be completed within 8 months, to all resident's requirements.
2) The island offers beautiful beaches and lush rainforest in the centre.
3) The project will use the finest of Alfegos materials, including marble from the Milkavich province and hardwoods such as Mahogany and Bulletwood from the Grand Fegos, and discount prices for its abundance.
4) The citizens will be able to travel in style, either by boat from the sheltered harbours, plane from the airfield to the south, or by airship from the northern airship field.
5) All the citizens will be provided food from Alfegos for discount rates, including many tropical relishes and rare fish from the coast.
6) 50% discounts in restaurants and cafés across Alfegos with at least 4 Alfegos Cuisine Stars.
7) No airtax in Alfegos
8) Free military protection from Alfegos.

The island looks like this:

The three towns will be emptied, except for town 1, which will act as a residence for the ancillary staff, and as a necessary location for the utility station, which will be all "green".

We await your ideas of development.

We thank the nations so far for their bids. The process will be open for two more months (until Monday) and at that time we will deliver our decision regarding construction contracts.

A video sample of what the conglomerate has in mind:

The video starts off with a birds eye view of the isle, the smaller isles visible surrounding it. Zooming downward, hills are shown, mansions springing up on them. They have stained glass windows, and outer decorations of spledor on them. Each is like a small city, Vantanian servants scurrying about to serve the Vetalians. The camera goes into the inside of a manor, showing rich mosaics, walls showing classic scenes, electric chandeliers with various gemstones, libraries full of original books, etc.

The camera then leaves the mansion, going to the other sectors of the city, the magnificent piers holding ships of all nationalities, the classical sports areas improving greatly on Roman designs, the parks seemingly made out of grass that looked like emerald, the international, Vantanian, and Vetalian museums, the bathouses, gymnasiums, libraries, and other public relaxment areas powered by geothermal steam and molded out of the landscape, and finally, the massive glittering skyscrapers, modeled directly off of Vetalia City.

Finally, the camera shifts once again to the cliff side of the isle, where a smaller harbor is seen. Going through a tunnel, Vantanians can be seen scurrying about wildly, the various things necessary for the city to continue it's existence clearly evident. Massive turbines sap up the power of the steam, which is then directed to the bathouses. Still not enough, underground factories power making goods for the city above use emit smoke, which is also gathering energy off of it's smoke. Water treatment stations, desalination plants, recycling plants, and other similar stations positioned out of site of the Vetalians, letting them have the valuable territory while the servants slept underground. Lastly, the outerlying isles have simple villages harvesting a variety of crops, from tobbaco to sugar cane to olives, to satisfy the Vetalians needs.

We thank the Vantanians for the informative description of their plans for Zolotoi Vetalia. We will take this in to consideration when determining our contract assignment.

Bump. Perhaps Crimmond would like a contract?

OOC: Seeing as the due date has come and gone, who does the spoils go to?

Zolotoi Vetalia is going to be built near Clevingia and the construction contract will be awarded to a consortium from Vetalia, Alfegos, and Vontanas. The primary source of building materials will be Clevingia and Alfegos, while architectural design and conceptualization will be primarily done by the Vetalian and Vantanian companies. Construction will be carried out by Vantanian companies with Vetalian firms used to design and implement technological and electrical infrastructure.

The remaining work will be split evenly. All in all, this is a $10 trillion contract that will take up to 10 years to fully complete.
