To keep our own wildlife and trees protected the Chazakain Empires wishes to buy

100,000,000 tons of Logs/Lumber at $450,000,000 USD per year

Your request has been processed and confirmed. In order to protect our country's ecology as well, roughly half of the lumber that will be sent will be made up of a composite "virign" wood/wood pulp/polymer mixture. This mixture acts just the same as wood, yet it is also more resistant to the environment as a reuslt of the plastic polymers.

The first half of our payment of the year has been sent $225 million. and we are quite fine with your composites.

Ok, good. Shipments will begin immediately.
((Man, I need something to do, lol. Haven't had a good war in a long time, but a terrosit attack? Now that is something I could go for.))

((That works with me! The Tower is the main headquarters of SNOWPEC, and also home to at least 100 other international businesses. I think that qualifies it as Captialistic. However, if I can make one request, please do not directly destroy the tower.))

OOC: I'm gonna remake this storefront to better appeal to other nations.

don't plan on destroying it(most likely way best the technology and funding of my little group)(would you prefer an airplane or two hitting it or a bombing or some third choice?)

don't plan on destroying it(most likely way best the technology and funding of my little group)(would you prefer an airplane or two hitting it or a bombing or some third choice?), i'll get on the thread right away if you want it.

OOC: Ok, thanks. Preferably, a bombing. There's a No Fly Zone around the tower, so if you used a plane, it would be swarmed and shot down almost instantly. If you can think of anything else however, feel free to use it. That is, so long as it can be concealed well enough to bypass a very well trained security entourage. Oh, and start on the thread whenever.

OOC: Hah, I though everyone had forgotten about SNOWPEC! Man... that brings back memories. First real thread I ever posted in.

OOC: Yea. I remember it still. Well, it's main headquarters is about to get bombed, so no telling how long it'll be around, lol.

occ don't suppose you have a link to the original thread that was the construction of your tower (i'm lazy and don't want to search through a ton of threads to find it)

OOC: I do. Let me get it for you. There aren't any mentions of security measures in there, but the guards are some of the best trained in Falkasia. If you have any questions regarding the security, just ask.

occ I'd imagine so, but put enough fanatics in a room and who knows what they can come up with.

OOC: yea, tell me about it. Here's the link by the way.
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=564174

occ just thought of a good idea for the bombing, are there any major holidays in Falkasia that would lead to the lowering of security of the tower or is someone visiting that would require shifting guards away from the tower?

OOC: Well, the monthly SNOWPEC Meeting would raise security significantly, but that could have a reverse psychology effect on the guards as well. Theere are massive amounts of guards, so they'd think no sane person would attack in their right mind. They'd also be doing a shitty job patrolling because of their numbers.

There's also Heroes Day, which commerates all the people, soldiers and civilians, that have given their lives for Falkasia. During this time, the tower is temporarily closed in the morning, with the guards at home feasting usually. The tower reopens in the afternoon. However, during this time, the 6 foot tall fences around the building are energized with electricity, security cameras are put on high alert, and the complex's gates are hydralically, electrically, and manually locked.

There's Independence Day, which celebrates Falkasia's independence from Russia at the end of the Cold War. The situation with this is similar to above, although the tower is open all day but with minimal security staff. The staff, however is better trained than the normal guards.

Just incase it goes under before you can respond,

I'll go edit the details to make it during the SNOWPEC Meeting

OOC: Ok.

OOC: re the 'storefront' _ Is there any possibility that its products would include vehicles such as I was looking for here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=570629)?

We thank your nation for your support to us regarding the crisis in the wheat industry.

Also, we wish to open a trade route for automobiles, e.g. this one (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=587471) - take a look at it now. All official reviews have AutoWeek in the thread title and are a recommended read for any nation wishing to trade with us.

this requires lengthier, more complex, detailed negotiations, since we have to customise vehicles to the specifications and safety standards of the nation they are being exported to.

TO: The Great People's Republic of Falkasia
FROM: Department of Agriculture of The Democratic Republic of Asiom

The Department of Agriculture of the Democratic Republic of Asiom wishes to
place an order of 3,000 tons of grain. The types of grains are indicated below:

-Corn (500 tons)
-Wheat (1,500 tons)
-Barley (1000 tons)

Since the cost per ton of grain is $110, the fee for the entire arrangement
will be:

-Corn 500 x 110 = $55,000 USD or 63,000 Ç (charts)
-Wheat 1,500 x 110 = $165,000 USD or 173,000 Ç (charts)
-Barley 1,500 x 110 = $165,000 USD or 173,000 Ç (charts)

The total price will be $385,000 USD or 409,000 Ç (charts)

The transaction will be bought through the Asiom Chart (Ç) and converted
through the Universal Standard Dollar (USD) monetary network.

If your country does not participate or use the Universal Standard Dollar,
we will convert our Charts and send them to Falkasia,
where the money will be converted there instead.

Ralkovia is also in need of 100 million tons of tungsten which would be at the cost of $2,200,000,000,000.

Ralkovia would like to buy 1 million tons of cobalt for $93,000,000,000 however half this cobalt must be of isotope 59 for any sort of transaction to be made.

Ralkovia would also be interested in a contract for 20 billion tons of steel over a 60 year basis and would like to discuss a deal.

Bjorn Enterprises would be interested in the purchase of a single bottle of vodka encased in a log container with gold and silver casing. It should have the initials B.B.B.B. on its top and bottom and a single B on the front, the back, and its two sides.

Order confirmed. Regarding your deal, please lay out your terms and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

The Deal would last about 60 years with Ralkovia paying about 500 billion dollars every year for about 333,333,333.33 tons of steel. Or Falkasia could deliver all 20 billion tons within the next 10 years and ralkovia will pay 500 billion every year for the next 60 years.

(Would you give me a discount or anything since I am buying in BULK?)

OOC: Discount? Why would I do such a thing?

That would be most acceptable. As our factories are already producing overtime to meet the incessant demand of equipment being purchased from the Universal Defense Corporation, we have enough steel set aside to be available to you, fully delivered, within a year or two. As with the huge order, we will cover the first 10 years of payment as a discount.

(I already said I'm buying 30 trillion dollars of steel. Your country is going to be freaking rich thanks to Ralkovia plus we are allies...or do I have to worship you. LOL
Also you might want to take a look at my economic alliance the association
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=588027 )


This is acceptable to us and we look forward to doing business in the future.

OOC: Ended up giving you a discount anyways, lol. My country is already rich from our sales at UDC, lol. Anyways, I'll look into the alliance, and I was only joking sarcastically about the discounts.
