Piers Bel Draconiam, Exhalted CEO of the Corporate Technocracy of Francopolis

As of 8:00 P.M. FST (Francopolis Standard Time), our esteemed Corporatum representatives would like to announce the opening of the Kyvvas pass international tradepost! Located in the abandoned underground ampetheater beneath Kyvvas, we hope for it to become not only an example of Francopolis' superior engineering, but a staple of economic prosperity as well. The many industries of Francopolis are open for international business, and this opening will, in time, become a great opportunity for the global market at large.

We've spared no excess in this event. The ampetheater's top floors have been renovated, and should put to shame any five-star hotel. We've made sure each room has been stocked to the brim with entertainment of all kinds. A jacuzzi and minibar come standard, of course, as well as a grey-market bar (we promise to have the narcotic of your choice within the hour!) and room service...including francopolis prime's oh-so-famed succubi. These biosculpted beauties are at the beck and call of our guests, all hours of the day. In addition, we have a spa for those who wish to relax in a more natural fashion, as well as a lounge on the lower floor if you prefer a bit more social interaction in your stay. The Umbra Corporatum wants your stay to be a luxurious and profitable as possible, and your vice is our command!

The remainder of main floor has been divided into 3 segmets:

The central trading room

For all of the 'standard' trading fare, the central showroom is te place to be. Francopolis' primary exports will be showcased here, and, additionally, other nations may set up showrooms for a minimal transaction cost. Francopolis Prime's many exports include:

Military arms and equipment
Computer hardware
Automobiles
Luxury goods
The latest in biosculpting and cyberware modification technology
Information technology
Ores and precious metals
Natural gas
Synthetic materials
Manufacturing contracts

This is just a taste of what the Umbra Corporatum has to offer! More details on specific showrooms will hopefully be available soon.

The Gray market

This section of the market is reserved for goods and services to suit more specialized clientele. Again, showrooms in this section can be claimed for minimal transaction fees. Showcases include:

Gray market biosculpts and cyberware
Gray market entertainment contracts
Paramility/defense contracts
'Assault' software
Self-regulating artificial intelligences

Black market quarter

For those nations with economic interests some may find 'distasteful', the black market quarter has been set aside. Items traded from here include:

Narcotics
Black market biosculpts and cyberware
Cloned organs ('wetware')
Human resources

Keep in mind that Francopolis Prime will deal in ANY market it views as lucrative! The country of origin matters not, if the Umbra Corporatum sees a profit, we will most surely make a deal! The Umbra Corporatum aims to please!

Security

The 1st transhuman regiment is on site in order to secure the assets of Francopolis Prime and its allies. To those disruptors who believe that a stance of anti-consumerism is a staple and not a sin, the Umbra Coporatum STRONGLY advises you to rethink your dogma before attempting to disrupt any operations which the 1st transhuman regiment has watch over. Failure to comply with this advice may result in unpleasant scenarios.

Pacts and agreements

Umbra Corporatum Representitives are always at the ready to negotiate any and all trade agreements. The Corporatum has a histoy of favorable dealings with its clientele, and our economic ambassadors will do their best to work out a suitable arrangement based on the needs of the parties involved.

As you can see, the Kyvvas ampetheater has gone from an abandoned hotbed of antigovernemntial dissent to a beacon of economic superiority. Here at the Umbra Corporatum, our ideal is to combine the best of a modern consumer marketplace with the benefits of international trade. Enjoy your stay, and may profits continually bless Francopolis Prime!

Unfortunately, this event is not generating the level of interest we'd hoped for....thus, additional promotion is in order. The Corporatum would like to welcome any and all international participants to this event, as any opportunity for economic growth is welcomed.
