Official Announcement of the Confederate Banking Corporation

After a delicate research in several countries, we have decided to make several key investments throughout the private sectors of our neighboring countries, in order to better secure the Confederate investments.

We began in Van Luxemburg, purchasing the Bülacher Staatsbank for 2 trillion dollars and assuring ourselves a per-annum net revenue of 96 billion dollars. We proceeded to Praetonia, purchaing the Shrewshire Investment bank for 1.5 trillion dollars, and ensuring per-annum net revenue of 54 billion dollars for our company. There we also purchased Sutton Investments, PLC, for four trillion dollars. We hope the net revenue of 200 billion dollars shall satisfy our investors.

Another surprising buy was the purchase of a large amount of real estate in Hallad, for a total value of 1 trillion dollars. This real estate is now referred to as the Worker's Home Company, and specializes in the provision of rental homes and appartments to Halladi citizens. Though profits from the Worker's Home Company remain small – coming out to a net 50 billion – we remain morally secure in the fact we provide our shareholders with the all-important investment security

A less surprising development is our purchase of the Colonial Investment Company, in Questers, for 4.1 trillion dollars. We estimate that the net revenues of this company constitute approximately 170 billion per year, and we're quite happy with that, thank you very much.

In Spizania our men purchased the Alexandrian Airways Zeppelin line for a trillion dollars. It's 60 billion net revenue is small, but the high security of investment appeals to us. A similar purchase is the Spizanian Kalimantan Ordanance Incorporated. And finally, purchased by us was the famous Confederate Bridge and Ship Company in Spizania, for 8 trillion - we loved the name and the earnings, of 450 billion per year.

In total, the Confederate Banking Corporation now employs the following people per country:

Hallad:

Worker's Home Company:
750,000, of them 10 Allanean Freemen.

Knootoss:

Van Der Star PLC:
175,000, of them 25,000 Allanean Freemen

Praetonia:

Shrewshire Investment Company:
2,000,000, of them 150 Allanean Freemen

Sutton Investments, PLC,

3,900,000, of them 25 Allanean Freemen

Questers:

Colonial Investment Company

3,000,000, of them 200 Allanean Freemen

Spizania

Alexanderian Airways:

2,500,000, of them 10,000 Allanean Freemen

Kalimantan Ordanance Incorporated

60,000 employees.

Confederate Bridge and Ship

3,500,000 employees.

Van Luxemburg:

Bülacher Staatsbank:

1,751,584, of them 500 Allanean Freemen.


Our total revenue from these companies, per annum, comprizes 1.67 trillion. Other assets provide an additional 55 billion dollars per year. We also provide Wagdog with certain banking services.

Official Announcement of the Confederate Banking Corporation

Upon negotiations with the Bank of Athabaska in Izistan, we have invested 10 trillion dollars of the Confederate Emergency Fund in that bank. We expect to receive a payment of dividends of 300 billion dollars per annum from this enterprise, a comparatively low sum but we believe that the security of BoA justifies it.

Message from the Bank of West Soundgardens

Hello.

We have many housing and business loans, and our economy is being very shifty due to the civil war. The annual foreclosure rate is very low, but it is getting hard to manage these loans. Would you like to buy them? You can also buy shares in our puppet bank, Bank of Outshine.

Thank you,
President & CEO of The Bank of West Soundgarden

Official Announcement of the Confederate Banking Company

After several months of negotiations, the Confederate Banking Company has purchased the Rabinovich Investment Company of Rosdivan for 15 trillion dollars, expecting an average per annum dividend of 400 billion from the large company.

The General Secretary's Office had said, in part:

“Rosdivan is an unusually stable and reasonable country. We in the Confederacy of Sovereign Stats believe that it is a great place to keep the Emergency Fund, and we further believe that such an investment will not only be profitable for both us and the Rosdivani, but will also serve to improve the relations between the Confederacy member states and that nation. As part of that spirit, we guarantee that all dividends for the first year of the company's operation under new management will be donated to charity programs in Rosdivan. Obviously, due to the magnitude of the money involved, all charity activity has been cleared with the Rosdivani Government.”

The priority of the donations will go to endow children's hospitals, orphanages, universities – in particular, the construction of a separate building and library for Department of Havenic History at the Cosma and Damian University, and a memorial for the Rosdivani victims of the RMS King Charles.

Official Announcement of the Confederate Banking Company

As a finishing move in investing the entirety of the Confederate Emergency Fund, the General-Secretary of the Confederacy of Sovereign States had signed a deal today to invest five trillion dollars in a special savings account with Ugrimaa Pank, LTD, a medium-sized Olmedrecan bank. Ugrimaa Pank will pay the CBC 100 billion dollars per year (2%) in dividends, however we believe that the comparatively low amount of dividends is acceptable, due to the fact the Olmedrecan economy is extremely secure and the Ugrimaa bank is a highly respectable, safe company.

It is to be said that, because of the relative unpopularity of the Confederacy in general, and General-Secretary Kazansky in particular, certain moves will have to be made to appease the public opinion in Olmedreca. The General-Secretary has already agreed that for the first year, all dividends from the investment will be donated to charity programs in Olmedreca, and it is possible that additional funds will be brought in in the future.

While obviously the full list of endowments has not yet been completely worked out, it is already clear that part of the money will go to endow new burn wards at six major hospitals in Olmedreca, as well as a children's wing for the Varbola General hospital and a new Department of Classical Studies at the University of Varbola.
