OOC: This will be a mixed IC/OOC thread wherein I will post stuff about business and commerce in Brutland and Norden. Post here if you want to take on our latest offers. You can also post here if you wish to trade with Brutland and Norden. Basically, post here if you want to do business with us.

Several offshoot RPs may arise, but in general, I do not want to flood I.I. with threads for every product Brutland and Norden has... you can find them all here. If all goes well for certain transactions, we can create a separate thread. ;)

Message from the Plaatische Consortium of Wineries
Our recent sub-par harvest of grapes has resulted in a limited 2008 vintage. In order to remain competitive with Suidphalian wineries, we will require seventy metric tons of Brutland grapes, which will become a specialty "Import" of the 2008 Vintage. The $21,140 (est. £14,280) in question has been earmarked for immediate transfer to your accounts once this order is confirmed.

Message from Overseas Specialities Grocer

Kind sirs,

The recent "Brutland & Norden" selection in our national chain has become immensely popular. A total of two kilolitres of both Castell'arthicana and Lionella, in addition to fifteen metric tons each of Red Tortona and Purple Brute cheeses. Sudden quality control issues with our Gaullican suppliers have left us in the lurch, as His Majesty's Plaatische Government deemed Gaullican cheese to be of unacceptable quality. Therefore, to maintain our "Regional" selection we are willing to pay full price + 5% for rapid delivery of twenty five metric tons of Camembert and Mozarella cheeses.

Your payment awaits confirmation of this purchase order.

Belshaft has recently suffered a minor famine due to the loss of our acricultural hearlands to plauge, and our response to the plague. Therefore to help deal with the shortage we wish to purchase the entirity of your Wheat, Rice and apple crops, at price. This will go a long way to dealing with our food shortage.

Greetings!

We are glad that our products are being liked! Of course, Brutland and Norden would be very happy to fill your supply gaps.

The 25 metric tons each of mozzarella and camembert cheeses will be flown out as soon as possible. The farmers of Quonzicchio will fill the order, and as such, the cheese will depart from Campognano Airport within eight hours. You can expect it to arrive within 18 to 24 hours*.

The purple and red cheeses, along with the wines, will be shipped out from the port of Trasco within a day. Expect delivery within four days*.

Total cost of the mozzarella and camembert is $66,963.75. The red and purple cheese, $59,475; and the wines, $4,382. Total, $130,820.75.

As for the grapes, I have forwarded your requests to our farmers. Attached is their reply.

Thank you for doing trade with us!

Good day!

The farmers of the Calcea valley will fill your order. We will send 70 metric tons of our first class grapes. As we are winemakers ourselves, and we use the same grapes for our wine, we expect that these grapes will be perfect in producing wine.

The grapes will be shipped out via the port of Trasco. Expect delivery within 4 days*.

Thank you very much.

(OOC: Um, of course, I'd like all of my produce stocks be entirely disposed of (bought), but I think you're having not just a minor famine. Did my calculation, your order amounts to $2.02 billion, only a little smaller than your GDP (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Belschaft). Surely you won't take out your entire GDP on grains and apples alone (unless you make apple-fiber enriched bread, which is yummy, mmmmm. :D) Also, millions of metric tons of wheat and rice is more than enough to feed 80 million people... unless you want to resell the excess. ;) Will post again upon your next reply. :))

I really couldn't be arsed to the maths to work it out, as i'd rather watch tv and drink wisky. If you can be bothered to work it out, then go ahead. I can't, and i doubt many other people really care that much. If you do the maths, then i'll by what you reckon i need. To help, our national production was about 40% of expected, enogh to feed about 38 million people.

We are sorry to hear of the famine in your country, and we will try as much as we can to fill the orders. We tried to negotiate prices with our farmers, but it seemed that our prices are actually bargain prices for our produce already. Nevertheless, we would want to help in your situation somehow, and as such, and will not charge the shipping costs to your nation. The 60,000 metric tons of apples, 1,232,000 metric tons of wheat, and 1,900,000 mT of rice will be shipped in four batches to your nation. The total cost of the produce is $483,836,000. The first batch will be leaving soon from one of our ports as soon as we receive half of the payment. As I said earlier, the shipping cost will be shouldered by us. We are glad to help the people of your country.

Dear Brutland and Norden Business Bureau,

We are interested in doing a trade with you. We need 1,000 bottles of each of your fine wines, about 100 metric ton of each of your selection of cheese, and about 2,000 liters of ox, goat, sheep, and deer milk. The wine is being purchased due to a new branch in our company that will dominate all the alcohol markets in Avalic hopefully that and it'll be in limited supply allowing us to use higher prices. The cheese and milk will be used due to the fact that there is a craze for foreign food in our nation. A total of 13,077,440 dollars that we will wire to you when the deal is accepted. When you open your vegetable section, please tell us as our farmers are not producing enough potatoes, carrots, tomatoes (which is not classified as a fruit in our nation), and peas. If you are interested we are selling several exotic fish and fish eggs, poultry, and beef.

Greetings!

Our producers are prepared to ship 100 metric tons of each of the cheese varieties we sell, but however, our surplus of Camembert and Boy's fart cheese won't reach the 100 metric tons. We will, however, ship the entirety of the surplus. We warn you of Boy's fart cheese: it will be transported in special smellproof packaging as it is extremely stinky. One tip when eating the cheese, is to put in lime or lemon juice on the cheese to neutralize the smell.

The winemakers will also ship out 1,000 kL (kiloLiters)* of each of our wines, and 2,000 liters each of our milk. Our surplus of deer milk will not reach 2,000 liters, but we will ship the entire deer milk surplus anyway.

Total cost is $14,169,045; we will start shipping as soon as we get half the payment. It will be depard aborad container ships from the port of Brutland City, estimated time of arrival to your nation is four days.

Also, we will inform you as soon as we have data for our vegetables. As for exotic fish, I believe that there is a market for that in Brutland and Norden, as catching (but not buying or owning) most exotic fishes is not allowed in most areas of Brutland and Norden.

Thank you very much.

Dear Ma'am,

We hope you may have heard of us. VLT Automotive is one of the largest automotive companies worldwide, and produces it's vehicles in many nations, while also exporting them to many other nations. The reason why we are sending you this letter, is that we wish that Brutland and Norden is added to our list.

Therefore, we wish to establish an importer of our products, so that they may be sold through locally-owned dealerships. We have studied the market in Brutland and Norden for a bit, and we already know that our sales will certainly not be the same as in Van Luxemburg, but the Nord-Brutlandese market is stable and large enough for us to enter.

Second, we have a proposal for Brutland and Norden. The establishment of a (small) VLT factory can solve unemployment in a grant or region, as it employs nearly 5,000 persons, and can produce around 400,000 automobiles annually. Of course, we prefer to have this factory built on a plot close to a motorway, waterway or rail line which we can use to transport our products in large amounts. Of course, the factory will meet all legal requirement. VLT pays 10% over the average salary, and always constructs factories in the most environmentally-friendly ways.

We hope that this offer is acceptable.

Dear Ma'am,

I contact you with the request to buy 1,000 litres (bottles) of each wine Brutland and Norden. This to re-fill the wines in the cellars under the Grand-Ducal Palace, which houses an impressive collection of rare and wines for consumption during dinners, balls, official state visits and the like.

The Grand-Ducal Office will send a personal ship to pick up the goods we have requested, so we can personally oversee they are shipped with the utmost of care. The amount of this order comes to $12,929, but we will gladly pay $15,000 to complement the wineries and farmers of Brutland and Norden with their excellent wines.

However, we have come with a special request. You see, it is unacceptable for us to drink wines of which thousands of bottles exist during special occasions or with high-ranked foreign dignitaries. This is why we usually select the best wines from Van Luxemburg and abroad to serve during these events. We wish to inquire if Brutland and Norden can offer us a few of these wines.

The Brutland and Norden Business Bureau would be very happy to help find the producers for you. We would arrange the meeting and discuss the specifics. Thank you.

OOC: Do you need a separate thread, or would you prefer to do it here? Also, I would like to know what would be the agenda... importation contracts, free flow of goods? ;)

Dear Ma'am,

We hope you may have heard of us. VLT Automotive is one of the largest automotive companies worldwide, and produces it's vehicles in many nations, while also exporting them to many other nations. The reason why we are sending you this letter, is that we wish that Brutland and Norden is added to our list.

Therefore, we wish to establish an importer of our products, so that they may be sold through locally-owned dealerships. We have studied the market in Brutland and Norden for a bit, and we already know that our sales will certainly not be the same as in Van Luxemburg, but the Nord-Brutlandese market is stable and large enough for us to enter.

Second, we have a proposal for Brutland and Norden. The establishment of a (small) VLT factory can solve unemployment in a grant or region, as it employs nearly 5,000 persons, and can produce around 400,000 automobiles annually. Of course, we prefer to have this factory built on a plot close to a motorway, waterway or rail line which we can use to transport our products in large amounts. Of course, the factory will meet all legal requirement. VLT pays 10% over the average salary, and always constructs factories in the most environmentally-friendly ways.

We hope that this offer is acceptable.

Greetings!

We are elated that a highly esteemed company as VLT would desire to do business in Brutland and Norden. We welcome you to the Nord-Brutlandese car market, and our car enthusiasts would certainly await your fresh car models.

Brutland and Norden, unfortunately, has no large-scale importer of foreign cars. Since VLT will establish a factory in Brutland and Norden, we suggest that you establish a subsidiary here in order to coordinate all of VLT's activities here: production, importation, and exportation of cars. Brutland and Norden is proud that it is easy to start a business in the kingdom, but our staff will still gladly assist you in filing the necessary paperwork in order to start your company.

We are also glad to hear that you would build a car factory here in Brutland and Norden. The Business Bureau had posted a bulletin and we got three locations in which you can choose:
1. Colonella di Bruttii, grant of Plano Verta, province of Brutland
The city of Colonella di Bruttii is located on the western coast of Brutland. The medieval port city has a large area, a population of 1,120,000 and an educated workforce, thanks to the presence of a local university. Brutland's C1 highway runs within city limits, as is the C1 rail line [C1 runs along the coast of Brutland]. Colonella di Bruttii (known locally as Colonella) is also relatively insulated from power outages (in the rare times it happens), thanks to the presence of a local hydroelectric plant along the Zocoa River. Additionally, the workforce is skilled, and relatively non-unionized. The province of Brutland has laws that effectively discourage labor unions, and thus, labor relations in Brutland had been more peaceful than in Norden.

2. San Vittore, grant of Santelleria, Union Territories
The town of San Vittore has a population of 671,000, located on the northern coast of the island of Santelleria, facing the nearby island of Fiorgamino. Santelleria is Brutland and Norden's technology center, where many tech firms are based. San Vittore is a short drive away from the port city of Pelargone, the port that handles one-fourth of Brutland and Norden's shipping. San Vittore is also accessible through the many airports located on the island of Santelleria. Also, it is located near Kingsville, the capital in the center of the country.

3. Larghativa, grant of Borcenna, province of Norden
The city of Larghativa has a population of 598,000 located along the Borcenna river in Dennland. [NB: Norden is traditionally divided into two: Normark, the northern part of Norden; and Dennland, the southern part.] It is also relatively near the capital. It is connected to Norden Route 80 [Pavulo-Brendola Highway], a major thoroughfare in this area of Norden. The Borcenna River is also navigable at Larghativa, and it has excellent docks and a municipal airport. Moreover, raw materials may be easy to find, due to its proximity to the ore mines of Platina, Doro, Borcenna, Jorca, and Morlise. In fact, one of the major steel mills of Norden is located upstream at Lorica, and there are many companies working with steel in the area.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Ma'am,

I contact you with the request to buy 1,000 litres (bottles) of each wine Brutland and Norden. This to re-fill the wines in the cellars under the Grand-Ducal Palace, which houses an impressive collection of rare and wines for consumption during dinners, balls, official state visits and the like.

The Grand-Ducal Office will send a personal ship to pick up the goods we have requested, so we can personally oversee they are shipped with the utmost of care. The amount of this order comes to $12,929, but we will gladly pay $15,000 to complement the wineries and farmers of Brutland and Norden with their excellent wines.

However, we have come with a special request. You see, it is unacceptable for us to drink wines of which thousands of bottles exist during special occasions or with high-ranked foreign dignitaries. This is why we usually select the best wines from Van Luxemburg and abroad to serve during these events. We wish to inquire if Brutland and Norden can offer us a few of these wines.

Signed,

Julia Richter,
Director of the Grand-Ducal Catering Services
The Grand-Ducal Office,
LUXEMBOURG, VAN LUXEMBURG
To: Julia Richter,
Director of the Grand-Ducal Catering Services

We would like to thank you for your patronage of our wines. Your order is being assembled and will be shipped within 2-3 days.

Our Bureau had also done research on rare wines. On the list is a 1810 Tropea red wine, of which only one of the six known species remaining is for sale. This is the last vintage produced from the hardy Pannondrian mountain grape from the vineyards of the village of Tropea d'Adda, grant of Valtebriggio, province of Brutland. The old village and the vineyards were destroyed when a great avalanche swept down the Adda valley in 1811. Only six bottles were retrieved when the old village was excavated in 2006.

Also on the list is a 1976 Traconalto Brutland berry wine, the oldest available vintage of this rare wine made from wild Brutland berries. Traconalto Brutland berry wine is produced at a rate of only 10,000 bottles per year. There is also the 1908 Sant'Arcangèlo Secolo (Century) Wine, produced by the monks at the Abbadio di San Canico [St. Kenny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cainnech_of_Aghaboe) Monastery], Palombara di Baeta, grant of Baetina, province of Brutland. The monks produce only 2,500 bottles per year, age the wines for 100 years, and sell only 1,000 of the wines commercially [The Monarch of Brutland and Norden buys 250, the Primate of Brutland and Norden is offered 250, and the monks consume the remaining.] in order to support the monastery. Due to its rarity, the Monastery restricts buyers to only three bottles.

More common, but still rare, ones include the Pannondrian blue wine, known for its natural blue color; the rare La Svente Fegatoque (The Liver's Bane) 175 proof (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_%28alcohol%29) wine - the wine with the highest alcohol content (guaranteed to induce cirrhosis early); the Ferradena lizard wine, which is a strong coconut wine with an egg and/or hatchling of the Normarker green lizard (Lacerta norremaquica) soaked in it; and the Misterica flower wine, a unique wine made from flowers. Each bottle has a different but delicious taste due to the different combination of flowers used in its production. Here is the list: (prices are per bottle)
1810 Tropea red [1 remaining] - ₤1,553,000 ($2,298,440)
Montenero white (vintage 1337) [2 remaining] - ₤1,553,000 ($2,298,440)
Traconalto Brutland berry wine (vintage 1976) [4 remaining] - ₤97,500 ($144,300)
1908 Sant'Arcangèlo Secolo (Century) Wine [251 remaining]- ₤7,500 ($11,100)
Pannondrian Blue wine (vintage 1990) [44 remaining] - ₤4,920 ($7,281.60)
La Svente Fegatoque (The Liver's Bane) 175 proof wine - ₤2,786 ($4,123.28)
Ferradena lizard wine [104 remaining] - ₤1,445 ($2,138.60)
Traconalto Brutland berry wine (latest vintage) [2,045 remaining] - ₤877.50 ($1,298.70)
Misterica flower wine (vintage 1995) - ₤507.25 ($750.75)

Dear Ma'am,

VLT Automotive Group always establishes subsidiaries in the nations they operate in: VLT Automotive Brutland & Norden will handle all activities VLT currently engages in in your nation. This will include the factory, the importer, customer services, spare parts distribution, building and maintaining a dealership network, etc. This will all be done from one central place: the VLT factory that will be constructed in Colonella di Bruttii. Reasons for this are the skilled workforce, the reliability of the electricty network, as well as the transportability of our goods.

The Colonella plant will be about 500 hectares large, and produce around 200,000 vehicles every year. We will require around 2,000 employees to man the factory. Then, we will also establish the importer in an office building on the factory grounds, which means we also need around 500 employees that work for VLT Automotive Brutland and Norden as part of the importer.

Next to this, we will also be offering positions for Nord-Brutlandese citizens to open a VLT dealership, since we prefer that these dealerships are privately owned. This will open up more employment possibilities for the Nord-Brutlandese populations.

Dear Ma'am,

We are very grateful for the details you gave us on some vintage Nord-Brutlandese wines. Having looked through the data, and having invited Sir Alessandro Panicucci, a local authority in terms of wines, we have come to the following list of orders:

1 1810 Tropea red - $2,298,440 a piece
1 Montenero white (vintage 1337) - $2,298,440 a piece
1 Traconalto Brutland berry wine (vintage 1976) - $144,300 a piece
3 1908 Sant'Arcangèlo Secolo (Century) Wine - $11,100 a piece
5 Pannondrian Blue wine - $7,281.60 a piece
5 Ferradena lizard wine - $2,138.60 a piece
5 Traconalto Brutland berry wine (latest vintage) - $1,298.70 a piece
5 Misterica flower wine (vintage 1995) - $750.75 a piece

We have decided to not order the La Svente Fegatoque wine, as Van Luxemburg currently has a -very contested- ban on alcoholic beverages which contain more than 60% of alcohol.

If we have calculated correctly, this will cost us $4,831,828.25. The amount of $5,000,000 has been transmitted to your account.

Official Company Communication
FROM: Koch Pharmaceuticals International Relations Department
TO: Director Ventresca-Crognale, Brutland and Norden Business Bureau

Dear Madam,

Koch Pharmaceuticals is now preparing to embark on a major initiative to expand our business internationally, and we are pleased to say your fine nation seems an excellent place to begin. Allow us to introduce our corporation; Koch Pharmaceuticals Incorporated is one of the largest pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the Federal Republic of Hamilay, holding 49% of market share. We have proudly announced a $560bn USD profit for the past financial year. With over three hundred billion Hamilayan dollars per year spent on research and development, KPI is a national leader in the field, achieving great success with anticancer and antiretroviral drugs in particular.

Naturally, we wish to sell our products in Brutland and Norden. We would also like to establish facilities to for the convenience of us and the Brutland and Norden market. These would consist of the following:

- One facility (~450,000 sq m) for research and development, at an approximate cost of $5.8 billion USD and employing 600 local personnel.
- Two factories (~285,000 sq m each) for pharmaceutical production, at an approximate cost of $2.3 billion USD and employing 1,050 local personnel each.

The total cost to us of this venture would total approximately $150 billion dollars.

Due to the nature of our business, we presume we would also require information on local laws relating to pharmaceutical research, testing, quality control etc. Please provide if this may be a matter of concern.

Finally, we wish to purchase 1,000 bottles of Valfloriana red for corporate use for $1670.

Best regards.

Greetings!

The Bureau would like to apologize for the delay for compiling the information. We are pleased that our country has been deemed to be a good place to expand your business.

Market and Competition
The Nord-Brutlandese Market is generally an open market. According to the Nord-Brutlandese Pharmaceutical Industry Association 2007 report, pharmaceuticals were a ₤290 billion ($429 billion) industry in Brutland and Norden, shared between three major manufacturers and several smaller ones:
MedVerita (27%)
Alva Farmasciutetto (23%)
Pasquale Laboratori (20%)
Bertinotti Co. (9%)
TonziLoggie (7%)
Others (13%)
Pothecario Reala Nordèbrutelliense (1%) - known in English as the Royal Nord-Brutlandese Apothecary, the PRNb is a public company (ziende reala; crown corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_corporation)) which is concerned exclusively in the research, development, and production of orphan drugs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_drug).
If you need more information, you can contact:

Nord-Brutlandese Pharmaceutical Industry Association
1869 Corso Santa Cristina, Gianicolina, Vilòstresa, Esolo di l'Unnone EU019
(+1509)(+01) 349-68-024

Taxation
As said earlier, the Nord-Brutlandese market is an open market. There are no tariffs, or quotas levied on imports of drugs into the country. Also, most drugs are not taxed, as the government deem medicines to be an essential commodity.

However, some forms of taxes may affect your business. Brutland and Norden has a lower rate of corporate taxes than many other nations.

Legislation on the Pharmaceutical Sector
A drug needs approval from the Bureau for Food and Drugs (Nord-Brutlandese: Biure per Limentu e Drogu, BLD), under the Ministry of Health, before it can be sold in Brutland and Norden. The BLD is the government agency tasked to regulate the research, development, testing, sale, and safety of drugs in the Nord-Brutlandese market.
Research & Development
The universities of Brutland and Norden also conduct pharmaceutical research, mainly for the PRNb. However, some pharmaceutical companies had partnered with universities for research.
Testing
Unlike in some other countries, Brutland and Norden does not ban animal testing. Drug testing undergoes several stages, and drugs are tested rigorously to ensure that they are safe and effective.
Quality Control
The BLD is also responsible for monitoring the quality of drugs. It can also conduct bioequivalence studies.

The BLD can be reached via:
Biure per Limentu e Drogu
Bureau for Food and Drugs
Giusallo Petrelli, Recinto di Finisterre di Loggie
4820 Strade Thessalia, Universitade, Vilòstresa, Terru di l'Unnone EU014
(+1509)(+01) 257-34-910

Patents
Brutland and Norden has a substantially different patent system for medicines. The main patents governing medicines in this country are process patents, in which the manufacturing process in producing the drug is being patented; as opposed to chemical patents, in which the chemical itself is patented. Process patents can last for 30 years. The government also issues chemical patents, which can last from three to seven years. Upon application and acceptance of the patent, a chemical and a process patent is granted. The duration of the chemical patent depends on the amount/proportion the government spent in helping develop the drug. Thus, if your company independently developed a drug, you can be granted a chemical patent good for seven years and a process patent effective for thirty years.

Patents are effectively enforced in Brutland and Norden. We advise you to get in touch with the governing body for patents in Brutland and Norden:
Ufficio Reala per Pattenti di Norden e Marchòbrutellia
Brutland and Norden Royal Patents Office
500 Bolvardo Costa, Rifrardone, Brugnatella BR035
(+1509)(+07) 762-59-900

Location
We posted a bulletin on our Bureau about your interest in building an R&D and two manufacturing facilities, and we have received six applications:
1. Castagnole, Esolo di l'Unnone, Union Territories
Castagnole is a town of about 858,000 located southwest of Brutland and Norden's capital, Kingsville [Vilòstresa]. It is classified as a suburb of Kingsville, but it has become a center of its own for health and health-related businesses. The Royal Institutes of Health (Stiutti Reala per Loggie) is headquartered in the town, and the College of Medicine of the University of Brutland and Norden - Kingsville is also in Castagnole. Pasquale Labratori, a major Nord-Brutlandese pharmaceutical company, also has its headquarters there.

2. Pennsburgh, Timberland, Brutland
The city of Pennsburgh is located in the English-speaking grant (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13562581&postcount=21) of Timberland (Nord-Brutlandese: Marchòcchiese). Located on the northern coast of the Timberland peninsula in southeastern Brutland, Pennsburgh has a population of about 1,435,902. It is also the host of the University of Timberland - Pennsburgh. Additionally, the workforce is skilled and highly educated, and relatively non-unionized. The province of Brutland has laws that effectively discourage labor unions, and thus, labor relations in Brutland had been more peaceful than in Norden.

3. Basingstoke, Timberland, Brutland
The town of Basingstoke has a population of 710,000 located on the southern coast of Timberland Peninsula. There are several factories in the town, and is connected to Brutland Route C5 and Timberland rail line. Basingstoke also has a small part facility and a municipal airport (Wessex Municipal Airport, Basingstoke). Like in Pennsburgh, the workforce is largely English-speaking and skilled, with peaceful labor relations.

4. Revigliasca, Tonzivibbia, Union Territories
With a population of 503,000, the town of Revigliasca is located in the grant of Tonzivibbia, an island south of Union Island, where the capital is. Tonzivibbia is linked via ferries and an undersea tunnel connecting Tonzivibbia to Union Island. Moreover, The King Kyle I International Airport is located in the nearby city of Dorzano.

5. Ballagorio, Fonzo, Norden
The city of Ballagorio is located in the industrialized lower Denna valley. It has a population of 854,000. Its neighboring cities include Carreri, Trossoleto, Staletti, and Mendicino, all of which are home to chemical processing plants and related industries. Ballagorio is connected to Norden Route 60 (Nordville-Fonzo Highay), a major thoroughfare, and a north-south rail line passes through Denna valley. The Denna River is also navigable in Ballagorio, such that it has a docks for small ships and barges.

6. Nordville, Norden
Nordville is the capital of the province of Norden. With a population of 30.2 million, the city has many industries and huge industrial districts. It also has several universities and colleges within city limits, and working class areas. Nordville is a focal point of Norden's transportation routes. It also has its own international airport and a big port which can handle large amounts of cargo.

As for the wines, we had assembled it and it will be flown from Morbello Municipal Airport. Expect delivery within one day.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

That was $100 USD per subscriber per year. If you can guarantee over 100,000,000 subscribers we could cut the price down to $10 USD per year, our bulk subscriber discount, we would also like to inquire about opening a news office in your nation, and was wondering if you could tell us who we would need to contact about the permits and such for that.

NordenCable Company has 54,758,920 subscribers, and so we are afraid that we cannot avail of of the bulk consumer discount. Also, NordenCable cannot afford the $100 USD per year per subscriber unless we raise rates, but our company will not do that. Therefore, we would like to ask if the price can be lowered to the range of $80-$90, so the channels can be added without us losing customers.

As for your question, we will direct you back to the business bureau.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

We would certainly welcome the establishment of a news bureau in our nation. There are several notable events occurring in our nation which you can cover, especially this year's general elections (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=553517).

We are proud of the freedom the press enjoys here in Brutland and Norden. The only permits you need that we can think of are the usual things needed for building/renting buildings and the registration at the Ministry of Communication. For more information, you can contact the Communications Minister at:

OOC: Do you need a separate thread, or would you prefer to do it here? Also, I would like to know what would be the agenda... importation contracts, free flow of goods? ;)

OOC: Sorry about the late reply, I only remembered about this earlier today, and I have been away for the long weekend. I would like on the agenda to include such things as importation contracts as well as an impediments to trade such as export quotas etcetera. While the meeting would initially be on the two original companies I mentioned, I would like to extend it to some sort of trade agreement that encompasses all trade between us. I do not mind if it is on this thread or another, but this current time for about a week maybe a bit shorter I am extremely busy with one thing and a million others, I will send you a TG to inform you when I am ready and you can reply when you are ready, I hope this doesnt put you out to much

Attention: The Hon. Giusto Costrelabbia, Minister for Communication, United Kingdom of Brutland and Norden

Dear Mr. Costrelabbia,

Radiotelevisione Ruccoliana (RTV), the Republic of Ruccola’s public broadcaster, is actively searching for a base to cover the vast South Pacific region. After covering a story on Nord-Brutlandese expatriates in Ruccola and their participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections, it has come to our attention that Brutland and Norden would serve as a perfect base of operations in the South Pacific. We wish to file the requisite permits to open a news bureau and a regional head office in Vilòstresa.

Moreover, our company plans to hire one hundred Nord-Brutlandese journalists and researchers upon arrival, in addition to the twenty-five Ruccolian staff who will relocate from our headquarters in Arugula.

Yours sincerely,

Timothy Lau
Head of Corporate Communications
RTV - Radiotelevisione Ruccoliana

Attention: Nina Ventresca-Crognale, Director, Brutland and Norden Business Bureau

Dear Ms. Ventresca-Crognale,

Our company, RSC (Ruccola Semiconductor Corporation), is the largest supplier of semiconductors to the Ruccolian and regional markets, with 63% and 55% market share respectively. We are actively scouting for new manufacturing locations and new markets, and have concluded that Brutland and Norden is the best place to begin, after hearing about its highly sophisticated information technology sector. We wish to establish a semiconductor fabrication complex in your nation. This project entails a total investment of £7.53 billion* (approximately $4 billion universal dollars), and involves the construction of the following:

Three semiconductor fabrication facilities, with a total area of 280,000 square metres and a cost of £6.77 billion* ($3.6 billion)
A research and development laboratory, with a total area of 20,000 square metres and a cost of £760 million* ($400 million)
We plan to employ 3,300 local staff at our fabrication plant and 200 local researchers at our R&D laboratory once construction is complete, and production is projected to reach 90,000 silicon wafers per month at full capacity.

Yours sincerely,

Marco Risorgimento

Dear Ms. Ventresca-Crognale,

After reading about the importance of shipping to your economy and the large size of the Nord-Brutlandese merchant marine, our company, Minguo Heavy Industries, would like to construct a new shipyard in Brutland and Norden. We have twenty-one years of expertise in shipbuilding, and wish to serve the Nord-Brutlandese market as well as markets beyond. Our shipyard will specialise in container vessels, refrigerated ships, crude oil tankers, liquefied natural gas carriers, car carriers and passenger ferries, and will produce ships for export as well as for the local market. Construction is expected to cost £5.65 billion* ($3 billion), 5,000 locals will be hired, and shipbuilding capacity is projected to reach 4.5 million deadweight tonnes in five years’ time. We look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Antonia Callea

Greetings!

We are more than happy to host your regional news bureau. Actually, the only permit you need from the ministry is the certificate of registration certifying that RTV is indeed a broadcast media outlet. The application can be filed at our Section of Permits, though I assure you that it would be approved; the ministry rarely denies reasonable applications.

The other permits you might need are those pertaining to building (if you choose to build a headquarters) and business permits. For more information on that, you can inquire at:
Sn. Vito Martella
Deprete Civita di Commerzie
City Department of Commerce
Municipio di Vilòstresa
600 Viale Modica, Cumunoíe, Vilòstresa, Terru di l'Unnone EU003
(+1509)(+01) 186-00-000 loc. 05
We will also post a bulletin so that you can easily hire local journalists. Also, we have informed the Royal Nord-Brutlandese Ambassador to Ruccola, Uldarico Iannuccelli, about issuing working visas and residency papers to your staff who will stay in the country.

Also, you don't need to worry about censorship. Brutland and Norden is proud in having a very free press, and only rarely do we have to handle cases.

You might also be interested in broadcasting in our country. We have some foreign news channels broadcasting here, we'd be delighted to have a new one here.

Thank you very much and don't hesitate to contact us should you need help.

To: Mr. Marco Risorgimento
Head of Corporate Communications
RSC – Ruccola Semiconductor Corporation

We are pleased that Brutland and Norden has been selected as a great place in which to expand your high-tech business. We posted a bulletin and we have received five application wherein you could build your factory.

1. San Vittore, grant of Santelleria, Union Territories
The town of San Vittore has a population of 671,000, located on the northern coast of the island of Santelleria, facing the nearby island of Fiorgamino. Santelleria is Brutland and Norden's technology center, where many tech firms are based. San Vittore is a short drive away from the port city of Pelargone, the port that handles one-fourth of Brutland and Norden's shipping. San Vittore is also accessible through the many airports located on the island of Santelleria. Also, it is located near Kingsville, the capital in the center of the country.

2. Santa Rossa di Santelleria, grant of Santelleria, Union Territories
Also located on the high-tech island of Santelleria, the village of Santa Rossa di Santelleria is a few minutes drive south of the grant capital of Pelargone. Located beside the beach, the town has a population of 14,000, and its residents are highly educated, with most of the adults having a college degree. Once considered a bedroom community of the larger neighboring towns, Santa Rossa di Santelleria aims to become a high-tech center in itself.

3. Pennsburgh, Timberland, Brutland
The city of Pennsburgh is located in the English-speaking grant of Timberland (Nord-Brutlandese: Marchòcchiese). Located on the northern coast of the Timberland peninsula in southeastern Brutland, Pennsburgh has a population of about 1,435,902. It is also the host of the University of Timberland - Pennsburgh. Additionally, the workforce is skilled and highly educated, and relatively non-unionized. The province of Brutland has laws that effectively discourage labor unions, and thus, labor relations in Brutland had been more peaceful than in Norden.

4. Laterina, grant of Cantabrica, province of Brutland
The town of Laterina has a population of 103,000 located along the B-02|B-03 highway. Several high-tech companies have their factories there, such as the phone maker Cortel.

5. Larghativa, grant of Borcenna, province of Norden
The city of Larghativa has a population of 598,000 located along the Borcenna river in Dennland. [NB: Norden is traditionally divided into two: Normark, the northern part of Norden; and Dennland, the southern part.] It is also relatively near the capital. It is connected to Norden Route 80 [Pavulo-Brendola Highway], a major thoroughfare in this area of Norden. The Borcenna River is also navigable at Larghativa, and it has excellent docks and a municipal airport. Moreover, raw materials may be easy to find, due to its proximity to the ore mines of Platina, Doro, Borcenna, Jorca, and Morlise. Deposits of gallium, germanium, and other materials for making semiconductors.

As for hiring employees and the necessary permits, I'm sure the individual local governments would be more than willing to help you out.

Thank you very much.

Head of Corporate Communications
Fiore d’Oro Hotels & Resorts

We had passed word to the deputy foreign minister for tourism and she's glad that the president of Fiore d’Oro Hotels & Resorts enjoyed our country. With her advice, we gsuggest the following locations:

1. Fontanariva, grant of Marchesta, province of Norden
The beaches of Marchesta are well-known for their white sands, sunny weather, and great surf. There are many resorts around these area, and they prove popular with ordinary Nord-Brutlandese and showbiz stars and wealthy people. Even the King of Brutland and Norden regularly visits the area.

The town of Fontanariva (pop. 98,000) also hosted last year's Miss South Pacific beauty pageant. It is one of the more popular destinations in Marchesta for the well-to-do, and the King of Brutland and Norden has a villa at the outskirts of town. As of this writing, there are beachfront land available in Fontanariva.

The town is accessible via the Falcade Domestic Airport, a twenty-minute drive from town, or by boat via the port of San Colombano d'Esta, 9 kilometers south of town.

2. Monteleone, grant of Voccanica, province of Brutland
Welcome to the land of ice and fire. This region of Brutland is known for its hot springs and healing waters, with nearby skiing areas. The town of Monteleone (pop. 47,000) is located on the foothills of the similarly named Monte Leone (elevation: 3,617 m). There are natural hot springs located in town, and you can tap into the soothing waters underground. There is also a skiing area outside town, and whitewater rafting at the nearby Caloracqua River is a popular pastime for locals. On rare times, the Pannondrian mountain tiger can be sighted up in the snowy mountains.

We had been informed that there are mountainside properties available in Monteleone, and that permission can be granted to tap the hot waters in the area.

As for the ratings, it is the Bureau of Tourism of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with the Brutland and Norden Hotels and Resorts Association, that issues the ratings for hotels. They can also give advice on how to achieve that coveted five-star ranking. You can contact:

Greetings!

We are delighted that you deemed our country to be a great place to do business. It is fitting that your company has come during a time that Brutland and Norden is expanding our trade abroad - hence the increased demand for ships. Brutland and Norden is also a nation of islands, thus ensuring that there will always be some demand for ships.

We posted a bulletin and we got these responses so far:

1. Vendrogno, grant of Terrallo, province of Norden
Vendrogno is a town of 202,000 people located on the Gulf of Lione, on the southern coast of Norden. It is located along Norden Route 6 - one of the main thoroughfares of the province. Also located near the town is the main shipyard of the Royal Nord-Brutlandese Navy, in Toglenova, grant of Nativiscare. The resources are also located relatively near, with steel refineries in Borcenna, Doro, and Platina. The workforce is also skilled, given the centuries-old tradition of shipbuilding in the area.

2. Tandro d'Untrassiamo, grant of Plano Verta, province of Brutland
Tandro d'Untrassiamo (locally known as TdU) is a city of 1.1 million people located beside a small bay. It is accessible via Brutland Route B1 and is the eastern terminus of Brutland Route B35. Additionally, the workforce is skilled and relatively non-unionized. The province of Brutland has laws that effectively discourage labor unions, and thus, labor relations in Brutland had been more peaceful than in Norden.

3. Cursola, grant of Fiorgamino, Union Territories
Cursola is a town of 500,000 on the island of Fiorgamino, located to the northeast of Kingsville. The town has a long undeveloped coastline, fit for building the shipyard. It is also relatively near the sources of raw materials, with southern Norden being across the Tambione Strait from the island of Fiorgamino.

As for the permits, the local governments are more than happy to help you out, though for a large industry such as your shipyard, we believe that the environmental compliance certificate must be procured from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. They can be reached at:

Good day!

We would be more than happy to issue RTV with a business permit. We would be acquiring most of the requisite documents from the Ministry of Communication, and so you do not need to submit it to us.

We scouted the city's downtown and business districts (Cito Tanda and Cumunoíe, respectively) for available space. We found the following:

1. Giusallo Monterolli
598 Viale Modica, Cumunoíe, Vilòstresa EU003
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6687/kvillemonterolliew4.th.png
Monterolli Building, center, located just across the big marble structure with a blue dome [Kingsville (Vilòstresa) City Hall]. To the south (left) is the Ministry of Commerce; at the lower left (with a fountain in front) is the Ministry of the Treasury.
2,100 sq.m. of available space in five floors
£559/sq.m./yr($374.5/sq.m/yr)
Located in front of the Kingsville City Hall, this space in the Monterolli building had just opened up. Given that space is scarce in the Nord-Brutlandese capital, this is the most perfect opportunity to get prime space. The area is served by the Rinno Kail di Malenetto and Municipio stations of the Kingsville Metro.

2. Giusallo San Colombano
655 Corso Stubblefield, Cumunoíe, Vilòstresa EU003
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8871/kvillesancolombanoyv2.th.png
The San Colombano Building is the tall white skyscraper with glass windows. At the upper left of the picture is King Kyle the Fair Square (Piazzo di Rinno Kail di Malenetto), the red brick building at the right is the Nord-Brutlandese House of Lords (the upper house of the legislature). Both the San Colombano Building and the House of Lords face the Riverside Park (Parco Fiumòquianda).
2,050 sq.m. of available space in two floors
£544/sq.m./yr($364.5/sq.m/yr)
The San Colombano Building offers a view of the Kingsville Business District and the Buona River. The area is served by the Rinno Kail di Malenetto and the La Strito stations of the Kingsville Metro. There is also a bus station nearby, at the corner of Corso Stubblefield and Viale Borcenna.

3. Tordo Maròquianda
176 Corso San Trinitario e Strado Baleno, Cito Tanda, Vilòstresa, Terru di l'Unnone EU002
http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6890/kvilletordomaroquiandatz6.th.png
The Seaside Tower is the tall skyscraper at the center left. There is a public beach nearby, and a famous restaurant at the next block.
more available spaces in thirty-six floors (approx. 1,500 sq. m per floor)
£521/sq.m./yr($349/sq.m/yr)
The newly-built Seaside Tower offers a majestic view of the beach and the sea, and even the neighboring island of Santelleria. Located in the historic Old City, the area is served by the Barrenechea Station of the Kingsville Metro.
Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

Greetings!

We had received your message and we are glad that the companies investing in Brutland and Norden also has a commitment to protect the environment.

We would be doing a joint environmental impact assessment with you as part of the process of issuing an environmental compliance certificate. Minimal dredging and land reclamation would certainly minimize the impact on the local ecosystem.

For the issuance of the environmental clearance, we would first need the general proposed plan, possible environmental impacts, and ways on remedying, alleviating and/or mitigating the impact on the ecosystem. We can expect to finish this within at least one month.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

Attention: Sir Vito Martella, City Department of Commerce, Municipality of Vilòstresa

Dear Sir Martella,

Thank you for your kind assistance. It is most highly appreciated. After careful deliberation, our company has decided that the Monterolli Building would best serve our needs, thanks to its strategic location in the centre of Vilòstresa. We believe that the relatively high rental costs associated with the location are justified by the benefits RTV will reap from entering the Nord-Brutlandese market and extending its coverage to the South Pacific.

Yours sincerely,

Timothy Lau

Attention: The Hon. Simon l’Englàtino, Minister of the Environment and Natural Resources

Dear Mr. l’Englàtino,

Enclosed is a general plan (http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/8542/shipyardjy9.jpg) of the proposed shipyard. Our company has identified four possible environmental impacts associated with the shipyard, and outlines these below, along with measures to eliminate these problems.

Habitat Destruction
The construction of a major industrial facility is likely to affect the local fauna in adverse ways, most notably through the destruction of their habitats. We aim to avoid this by locating the shipyard in an area of low ecological sensitivity, taking into account both land- and sea-based animal life. If we do discover that habitat destruction is inevitable, we will purchase adjacent plots of land with a total area greater than that which will be lost, recreate the habitat in question, and allow the local species sufficient time to adjust to and populate the new habitats before we begin construction. Moreover, to reduce the impact on sea life and minimise reclamation, we have decided to create a 16.5 metre-deep artificial basin on land, as you can see on the map provided.

Air Pollution
Typically, the heavy use of chemicals in shipyards leads to the emission of toxic chemicals into the air, exposing local residents and animals to serious health risks. At Minguo Heavy Industries, all materials and chemicals utilised in the shipbuilding process have undergone stringent testing, ensuring that our inputs are non-toxic, safe to humans and animals, and largely derived from natural sources.

Water Pollution
The industrial paints, coatings and other chemicals employed in the shipbuilding industry are a major source of water pollution, due to their high concentrations of heavy metals, dioxin and other toxic substances. These can also contaminate the sea bed, severely affecting the local marine wildlife and necessitating the costly treatment of the soil in future. Once again, our different approach to shipbuilding, and our commitment to safe, environmental practices eliminates the impact of our operations on the local ecosystem. The chemicals we use are designed to become biodegradable once they lose contact with the steel of a ship’s hull.

Noise Pollution
The issue of noise will be mitigated by the fact that the shipyard will be located some distance away from Vendrogno, the nearest city, and that it will only be in operation during typical working hours. Moreover, we only use state-of-the-art equipment that have a reputation for being the quietest in their respective classes, leaving local human and animal populations relatively undisturbed.

We hope you find this information satisfactory, and look forward to receiving your response. Thank you for your time and kind attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Antonia Callea

Dear Ms. Ventresca-Crognale,

It has come to our attention that the United Kingdom of Brutland and Norden has rapidly become Ruccola's largest trading partner outside our region, thanks to the efforts of your organisation in promoting bilateral trade and investment. In light of the growing economic ties between our two nations, we wish to propose a bilateral trade summit where the possibility of a free trade agreement will be discussed.

In the event of trade talks between the Republic and the United Kingdom, I will be representing my bureau as well as Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolina Chan, who is currently attending a state wedding in the Free Republic of Lamoni. We hope to hear from you soon, and look forward to meeting you in person.

We are impressed by your company's dedication to preserve the environment. The Ministry had convened a technical working group poring over the specifics of the project. For now we are receiving a satisfactory response from them. I'm inclined to give a green light on the project.

Recommendations from the technical working group include:

Location
The working group recommended the stretch of beach 1 km east of Vendrogno and 2 kms near the Nativiscare-Terrallo grant boundary. Exact coordinates are the beach south of the line drawn along 24° 18' 5.9616"S (the gutter of the eastbound lane of Norden Route 6) between 146° 11' 1.8528"E and 146° 13' 6.2688"E. Technically, the plot is shared by the jurisdictions of the town of Vendrogno and the hamlet of Sant'Arrigo di Terrallo.

There are no rivers emptying in the area, and the ecosystem is less richer than others nearby. It would be easier to remediate the area, and your pland had been approved.

Pollution Monitoring
The working group applauds and approves of your choice of chemicals. Still, the Ministry will conduct tests around the area and on the seabed to detect any dangerous concentration of harmful chemicals and/or possible excess nutrient loading due to the biodegradable chemicals.

As for noise pollution, the recommended plot is outside of Vendrogno town proper and a few kilometers south of Sant'Arrigo di Terrallo. The recommendation is given to minimize the impact of noise on the human population.

The Environmental Complicance Certificate will be coming within a few weeks. Thank you for caring for our environment.

We found a few suppliers willing to provide a steady, constant supply of apples. The Companne MeloMalo (AppleBoy Co.), operating out of the Danubio valley of Brutland, can supply you with 10,000 metric tons of apples every year. However, they are inquiring about the possibility of having a renewable contract, good for a certain time period. This is to ensure that their produce will be bought, you will have a constant supply, and you won't be affected by any price increase.

Meanwhile, this year's shipment of apples is being shipped by rail to the port of La Spergamo, where it will be exprted to you in refrigerated ships. Expect delivery within two to four days.

Thank you very much.

To: Para-Para Incorporated

In Brutland and Norden we have the usual domesticated cow (Bos taurus), and our very own national animal, the Brute cow (Bos bruta). Brute cows are more hardy and disease-resistant, but they produce less milk and has leaner flesh than an ordinary cow.

There are many farms that can supply with you with your needs. Just inform the Bureau what will you import and how many head and we'll seek a supplier for you.

I write to enquire as to what resources Brutland and Norden would have made available for trade with the company. More importantly, however, I wish to understand what (if any) tariffs are in place to protect your nation against foreign exports.

Yours sincerely,

Greetings!

We would like to thank you for your interest in trading with us. Right now we are in the middle of a huge agricultural surplus (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13611397&postcount=5). The Bureau is still gathering information about other industries involved in raw materials, such as mining, though some information about Brutland and Norden's production can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13324645&postcount=7). Production of some common metals and fossil fuels is barely enough to meet domestic demand, but I believe we have a surplus of rarer metals such as scandium, molybdenum, and bismuth.

We also manufacture computers and mobile phones, the latter being one of the biggest businesses in Brutland and Norden.

As for tariffs, Brutland and Norden do have small import taxes on a few products (wine, cheese, liquor, tobacco) but generally the country is open to free trade. We are still in the process of opening up the country and liberalizing the market.

Thank you.

Alfegos Aeronautics sells many vehicles, with large sales of such vehicles as the Driftwood Class Amphibious IFV. However, we are more famous for airship sales, with such nations as Neo-Ixania, Antigr and Colstream purchasing the popular I-class AeroPatrolcraft for both policing and military purposes.
Soon to be released to international markets are Stratellites, stationed in the Stratosphere at about 80km altitude. Here, the platforms are used to provide fixed signal transmission, providing a large area with high-quality internet, TV and radio, for a fraction of the cost of a satellite in Geostationary Orbit.

Such developments that may be accepted in your nation include the following:
- Small Facility
A few offices, warehouses, showrooms and maybe a small factory are all you would find in a small-scale development. Employing up to 500 local staff, the facility would be a representation of the company in that region, selling and possibly manufacturing such things as light aircraft and civilian arms.
- Medium Facility
More offices and warehouses in such a facility, but also with larger industrial aspects: instead of just that small factory, up to 5 factories doing such things as assembling heavy aircraft, making small military arms and manufacturing parts for assembly at other complexes. Employing up to 3000 local people, this sort of development is most common in the larger towns of a nation.
- National Facility
A large complex housing a national representitive office, extensive administration and sales facilities, multiple warehouses and large amounts of industrial development. In such facilities, a small airshipyard may be found amongst the 12-or-so factories, with large scale manufacturing and assembly occuring in the development. Often found in large cities, such a development would employ up to 40 000 people.
- International Hub Facility
A massive complex taking up a large area, with private unloading facilities and private aerodrome. Always with at least one large airshipyard, these facilities serve products to an entire region of nations and represent sales to numerous nations. Such a facility would have its own refineries, research laboratories and testing areas (underground) for military weapons, as well as any requested factory the host nation may wish for. Such a site would employ upwards of 180 000 local people, with some sites as in Milkavich employing up to 1.2 million people.

Revenues produced from a tax of 5% on each facilities profits would be(per quarter):
Small - $5000 - $10000
Medium - $80 000 - $520 000
National - $5million - $30 million
International - >$100 million

Any further details will happily be provided upon request.

[OOC: As of yet, I have no idea what the requirements of the population would be, and what imports we already receive from who. So best to leave the figures of how much foodstuffs are being purchased and imported to Atlantis rather vague, for now.

Dear Nina Ventresca-Crognale,

Excellent. Because of The Atlantian Kingdom's maritime nature as a Thalassocracy, there is a considerable lack of Terra firma under royal control. Thus, Atlantis lacks much vital agricultural territory and cannot meet the strains of feeding a growing population. Because of this situation, Her Majesty's government would willingly subsidize the company in the importation of various foodstuffs to sustain the realm, ensuring a substantial profit for the E.C.T.Co. As such, the company will pay for supplies of cows and goats milks, various grains, to a lesser extent fruits and vegetables and selected luxury items (i.e wines, cheeses).

We would also be interested in obtaining a supply of Scandium, and wish to submit an offer of 500,000 Universal Standard Dollars for one-thousand kilograms. Regrettably, we are primarily searching for raw materials and resources with which the Company may maximize capitol from at this time, and any trades made directly to Atlantis involving further products or services should be proposed to the Ministry of Commerce or Office of the Chancellor, as the E.C.T.Co. is a privately owned company.

From the documents provided, it does not appear there is any mention of seafood surplus in Brutland and Norden. Fish have long been a staple of the Lantian peoples, and due to our largely seafaring nature and colossal fleets the Kingdom catches under a million metric tonnes of North Atlantic seafood per annum. With the demand for foodstuffs relaxed due to importation from Brutland and Norden, surplus is expected, and would be available for shipping by the company upon the first delivery of said imports.

Yours sincerely,

Greetings!

We had posted a bulletin about your products. Hopefully some may become interested. As for building factories, it will be entirely your call, but we advise you to build one when the demand is high enough and/or you will use Brutland and Norden as your base for operations for the huge South Pacific region.

Thank you.

Good day! We in the Companne di Tellasdaglie Nordèbrutelliense (CTsNb; Nord-Brutlandese Telecommunications Company) have heard of your new Stratellites. CTsNb, being Brutland and Norden's largest telecommunications provider, already has several satellites and is looking to launch more.

We are interested in your Stratellites and would like to inquire more about its cost and specifics. If you like, you can set up your first test Stratellite in Brutland and Norden.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

Greetings!

The Royal Nord-Brutlandese Air Force is interested in your I-class AeroPatrolcraft. We would like to hear more about it, specifically its features, fighting prowess, and cost. Also, would the company be willing to sell us a "test aircraft" at a discounted price, so that our men can try it and evaluate it for fitness to join our fleet?

Thank you very much.

OOC: Your country is about the size of Hungary, and so I would base the requirements for it; however, your country population changes daily, so it's hard to peg stats for it. For your reference, this is a list of RL countries by population (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population) from which you can select a country to base your consumption on. ;)

Governor of the East Caribbean Trading Co.

Brutland and Norden would be very happy to supply your country with your needs. Your ships would be welcome to visit our ports in order to buy the foodstuffs that you need. The Bureau has a partial list of where certain produce are traded best. The ports where can they be shipped out of the country are in parentheses (if different from the trading place):

Wheat: Nord-Brutlandese Wheat Exchange, Bellino, grant of Santelleria, Union Territories
Rice, Barley, Corn: Nord-Brutlandese Grain Market, Luccheri, grant of Sceicce, province of Norden (port of Forlicesena, province of Norden)
Vegetables: Central Vegetable Exchange, Sant'Albano al Mare, Union Island, Union Territories
Wheat: Nord-Brutlandese Wheat Exchange, Bellino, grant of Santelleria, Union Territories
Cattle, Milk, Cheese: Confederation of Dairy Farmers and Producers, Trazio, grant of Trazio, province of Brutland (port of Boscio di Trazio, grant of Trazio, province of Brutland)
Watermelons, Bananas, Mangoes: Tropical Fruit Market, Colfetta, province of Norden
Apples, Berries, Grapes, Lemons: Brutland Fruit Exchange, Taurisano, grant of Merana, province of Brutland (Augusta, grant of Merana, province of Brutland)
Wine: Brutland and Norden Wine Exchange, Borriana, Union Island, Union Territories

As for scandium, its current trading price is $109,383/kg of 99.9% pure scandium metal and $702.25/kg of 99.0% scandium sesquioxide.

For the fish, Brutland and Norden is composed of two main islands and several smaller ones located in the South Pacific, though I believe that the domestic fish catch is barely enough to meet our needs. Like in other products, you can trade in your catch in one of the ports in the country, as there are no restrictions/tariffs/quotas for fish imports in Brutland and Norden.

Thank you.
