Recently, after three weeks controversial debate and filibustering, the National Assembly of the Free Commonwealth decided to open three SEZ's in the Vanteland. The move was immediantly endorsed by Lord Protector Tucker Boot, and got the stamp of approval from both the Vantanian Conglomerate for an Invisible Empire, and the Vantanian Conglomerate for a Better Vantanas.

The three SEZ's are provincial wide affairs, encompassing the four underdeveloped* provinces of the Commonwealth. The first, the Remote Islands, is almost completely uninhabitated. Gebra Port, the only official city on the islands, lays on Remote Island, and its only industries are fishing and agriculture. Rumors say that past choppy seas to More Remote Island and past even more choppy seas to Even More Remote Island lays a monastery full of crazed monks; the government has dismissed this as an urban legend.

The second province, Scepter Province, is at the north end of the Commonwealth. The capital, Litalia's Landing, serves as a military institute, as well as a major port for the comings and goings of the Vanteland. However, the rest of the province is mostly uninhabited, with the exception of New Vakkiri, New Townsend, and New Medab. These towns are all agricultural, and there have been rumors that Communist guerilla forces weild dominion in these areas.

The third province, Concordia Province, is a lumbering community. It's capital, Torria, is a major center of Canadian conventions, as well as a brewery and lumberjacking town. This is the most sparsely populated province in the whole of the Vanteland, and some say this is because there are native guerillas in the woods. However, the Vanteland denies this, citing the complete eradication of the natives by the Vantanian military.

The final province, Loathing Province, is actually a booming center for business. Its capital and major city, Seaside Town, is a major port and delivers the world with many fine supplies, as well as taking in many fine supplies. The only problem is that the population is extremely aggressive, as cited by the riots fought over beverage preferance.

OOC: No taxes. No labor restrictions. Nothing at all that would be bad. Union busting is encouraged. Small subsidies for foreign companies in the SEZ.

OOC: What natural resources, e.g. oil/gas and/or preciouis metals/stones, does the Scepter Province offer?

OOC: No problem. It's what I do in other countries, after all. :p Besides, most of my corporations do that themselves. The lowest Vantanian denomination is the Haycopper, the equivalent to the Haypenny. Most Vantanian workers make ten Coppers (equivalent = Pennies) an hour. Just as a reference.

A pleasant result for the rich is that inflation is incredibly low.

IC:

Greetings from the Free Commonwealth! Both of your requests are, of course, fully accepted. Be forewarned, however, that Vantanian business in the region, and there by competition, is likely to explode if profitable resources are found within Scepter.

OOC: Negligible amounts of natural gas and coal. Several small gold veins scattered throughout the mountains. Many, large, veins of silver, as well as large supplies of diamonds. You'll have to search hard for the diamonds though.

As well, we plan to open a number of factories up which will entail the production of clothes and we play to fund local production of food stuffs.

We are afraid we don't own the mountains, and as such you'll just have to try to keep any discoveries secret, or simply purchase the services of any miners for good wages to try to monopolize the minerals in the mountains.

Textile factories and corporate farms are completely be welcome. Please, however, be aware of the exorbitantly high minimum wage of one haycopper, and the restrictive environmental restrictions*.
