No longer avalible

OOC: It never ceases to amaze me that a nation with the hammer and sickle on its flag is capitalist.

It's just a hammer that crushes communism and sickle that.... something!

OOC: Uh, right, and the swastika is actually a rotary saw that cuts fascism to ribbons.

OOC: Great, yet another pitiful storefront selling wikipedia articles. Haven't you realized that no one in their right mind will buy RL weapons? At least show SOME effort and add some custom designs.

Well that all I could think of with customs too.

OOC: You spelled Capitalist wrong.

OOC: Some smaller nations or non-state actors find stores selling RL products useful, but I agree that this storefront is somewhat lacking. It could be worse though - United Earthlings runs a storefront selling production rights to real life equipment and pulls in a sickening number of new RPers who don't know any better. Our new friend The United Government simply needs to put in some more time and energy - at least there's no malice or exploitation in what he or she is trying to do.

[OOC: Is it even possible to sell prefabricated missile silos? Especially large ones?]

All your prices are WAY too low. For somes examples, an Abrams is going to be at least $4,000,000, B-2s come it at a whopping $2,200,000,000 (Although with larger NS size orders that could potentially go somewhat lower), and an F-22 will run you $140,000,000.

[OOC:I agree, try desigining your own weapns and vehicles, and maye they will be good. Maybe you'll makea nice profit. Take Yanitaria for example, I have spent billions if not trillions in his storefront.]

What is a Bump?

Well a flag could mean anything!

Well a flag could mean anything!

Uh...not when it uses a universally recognized symbol that already has an agreed-upon meaning. Symbols have meanings and the hammer and sickle means "communism". Deal with it.

Well I guess i'm going to deal with it but please place an order or leave please!:mad:

Why would people place orders for RL equipment? They can simply state that they have the manufacturing rights and POOF! your storefront is useless.

From now on I will no longer reply to post that have comments! just place an order please

I don't see why you find this concept so hard. Symbols have meaning. By using a symbol with a meaning (e.g., communism), you are essentially labeling that item with the meaning. Therefore, putting a communist symbol (i.e., the hammer and sickle) on a flag is labeling your nation as communist. That is simply the way it is, the meaning of symbols is more or less constant and you can't just say that one doesn't mean something anymore.

Well in nationstates 2 I have the US flag!

Serouisly what is a bump?

Well in nationstates 2 I have the US flag!

OOC: :eek:MY FIRST CUSTOMER!!!!!!!!!!!:D

IC:

Order Confirmed!

Capitalist Storefront
List of Packages:
American Troop: $500,000 USD free to ACID/Eurasian Alliance
<snip>

Tank Patton package: $1, billion half off for ACID/Eurasian Alliance
-10,000 American Troop packages + Some

<snip>

open to suggestions!
Economically infeasible...

10,000*$500000=$5 billion
So, for $1b, you are offering a bucket load of tanks, plus $5b worth of soldiery things.... Doesn't quite add up...

OOC: so should I raise the price for the patton package?

Why would people place orders for RL equipment? They can simply state that they have the manufacturing rights and POOF! your storefront is useless.

OOC: All nations on NS do have all production rights to RL military equipment, however, if one is RPing a rebel faction, a war-torn wasteland of a nation, a new start up nation, a terrorist group, a corporation, or some other entity that would not really have munitions factories and such to produce 16,000 Stinger missiles or some similar thing, then storefronts selling RL products can be of use.

OOC: Additionally, storefronts that sell packages of RL goods can be useful, especially for the lazy nations among us (AKA me) who don't have the time/want to take the time to look up every single logistics vehicle fielded by an army using RL tech, in order to be accurate.

OOC:I'm trying not to crowd this store with OOC messages so please place and order or something! please:(
