IMPERIAL OIL AND GAS WORKS
Apart from the Defence Industries (both home-grown and foreign), the petroleum companies profited the most out of the recent regional war that engulfed Greater Dienstad and the Holy Stevidian Empire. The Golden War of Succession - A Passion Play (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=439156) – was a war that the Empire technically lost but managed to gain hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of land and the Otium Aqua Sea that separates the Stevidian Island Territories and former Guffingford. The seizure of the Otium Aqua meant that the oil companies of the Holy Empire and its dominions could leap upon it and leech off the mass amounts of black gold that sit beneath the surface.
Because of the massive oil and gas deposits in the Otium Aqua, Stevid has joined the ever growing group of oil exporting nations. The nation is up to its neck in oil and the primary buyer of the oil and gas is the military. The ever growing Royal Navy and an ever improving air force demands increased need for fuel, the general population are also large consumers of the oil and gas but even with two major groups buying the oil, supply far outstretches demand and the stocks are growing ever larger. The Otium Aqua is littered with oil and gas rigs and the shipping lanes transporting the goods to the on and offshore refineries make it one of the busiest seas in the entire world and the oil and gas supply in the Otium Aqua shows no sign of running out since mining only began en mass several years ago. Underground reserves look set to last several decades if the current mining operations continue as they are which has prompted mass international and national investment in the Imperial Oil and Gas Works. IOGW shares are worth hundreds and hundreds and the company has become one of the worlds largest and most respected in the fossil fuel mining industry.
They are also popular with the general population of not just Stevid but the entire Empire due to their very low prices on fuel. Many thousands of oil company charge a standard set rate for a barrel of oil which is usually between 35 and 50 dollars a barrel. However it is obvious that oil is a seriously abundant natural resource (OOC: Obviously on NS- think about it, everyone here will know more than ten nations who claim to have vast amounts of oil) which means companies are charging a ridiculous amount of money for oil and gas. Government own corporations are then corrupt because they are hording money from paying nations because they are charging a set rate despite the huge worldwide oil reserves that exist. The Imperial Oil and Gas Works is a government supported corporation but is part of the free market and will charge prices that reflect the abundance of oil. National petrol prices range between 50 pence and 55 pence a litre or, considering the current exchange rate, $0.35 a litre such is the amount of oil Stevid now has.
Due to all the excess oil, IOGW is now looking more internationally for foreign buyers because until now it has only exchanged within the large Holy Empire. Shares can also be bought as well as gas and barrels of oil as well as other services provided by this flourishing company.

Additional Information on the Imperial Oil and Gas Work and the Otium Aqua
The Otium Aqua is undisputedly one of the most oil rich seas in the entire world with oil field that stretch for literally thousands of miles across the entire sea and are extremely deep. Survey vessels belonging to nautical agencies and the Royal Navy first discovered the richness of the seas two months into the War of Golden Succession, before the Holy Empire had become involved. The Guffingfordii Navy were also curious of the recent scientific interest shown by Stevid towards the sea and quickly learned of its strategic value in military and economical terms.
Once close allies, Stevid and Guffingford had become more and more aggressive and both now started to mine the oil fields in the Otium Aqua. War inevitable broke out but not over the oil fields. A sudden clash of international incidents brought the two countries to war but the battlegrounds were to be in the Otium Aqua. It was this very sea that has been the stage for two of the most epic naval battles in modern naval history and victories have landed in the hands of the Holy Empire… twice, however the second is disputed by the Golden Throne who claimed a tactic victory rather than a strategic one. In either case, the Royal Navy retained the Otium Aqua from former Guffingford and The Macabees and Stevid now controls the Guffingfordii East coast and have drilling platforms all over the Otium Aqua Sea.
The Imperial Oil and Gas Works admit it is a dangerous stretch of sea, it is the possibly the staging grounds for future combat operations and the seas themselves are exceptionally hostile as the forces of nature regularly battering the rigs, the tankers, the naval craft and the western coasts of Rubet Island and the Stevidian Mainland and the average wage of a man working on an oil rig is very large- the basic pay an hour is around £20.80 during winter and £12.75 in summer.
While relations with the Golden Throne are still very bad, the Otium Aqua is quite safe from foreign aggression and the oil and gas assets are only threatened by the force of nature. The Royal Navy is spread liberally throughout the sea and total ship numbers make up three whole battlefleets- the 1st, 2nd and 4th Royal Navy Fleets while the other patrol the seas of the Empire and other coasts of Stevid. The Otium Aqua is a sea of history and wealth which is way a total of five different countries have fought in it in a struggle for domination and only two countries have succeeded: Stevid and her ally Independent Hitmen (who also has oil and gas interests in the sea).
The Imperial Oil and Gas Works are the Empires largest oil and gas industry and have refineries all over the Empire and rigs all over the world. The largest refineries are in Rubet and Guffingford because they are closest to the Otium Aqua which is the richest sea the Empire has access to. The largest refineries not in Stevid, Rubet or Guffingford belong in the territorial Dominions across the Empire; Adaptus Astrates is home to nearly eleven huge oil and gas refineries, Kurona is home to just one small one and Ryou has recently been the place where a single massive oil refinery has just been completed offering the population over seven thousand new jobs, a further two refineries are set to be built in Ryou while further development in Kurona is pending due to their government’s stance on the environment and the beauty of their landscape which Stevid has tried not to intrude upon. Development in Adaptus Astrates is on going as they drive their growing economy onwards to new and frightening heights, three oil and gas plants are to be constructed under Astratii government administration until the IOGW begins refining the goods which will directly aid the dominion.
The tanker fleet is one of the biggest in the world and stands at just over one thousand super tankers with reserves stretching the numbers ever further. It is almost a certainty that in almost any port in the world there will be an IOWG tanker in dock, leaving or waiting to enter the port, the company is that global and that powerful that its influence really does stretch over the horizon and across the world. Stevid is a global power, military, politically and economically. It is a nation of the seas but most of its economic influence is unseen on the seas, however the IOWG tanker fleet is one serious symbol of economic power that the Holy Empire utilises fully.
