The Griffincrest Corporation, always looking for new markets to expand into, has decided on a way to find potentially new customers. They first, however, need to test the world's waters, and find the general world opinion of the company. Before long, a brief survey was sent to the leaders of nations all around the world.

Have you heard of us?: Yes.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?: We are generally suspicious of corporations. We are not aware that Griffincrest is any better or worse than the others.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?: No.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?: No.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?: No.

Other comments: As a general rule, if a corporation or nation sells weapons, we don't buy anything else from them either.

The Praetor was a busy man, with the war and the challenge of maintaining the NDPV's hold on power occupying most of his time, but there was always time for Griffincrest. The Confederacy was one of the country's biggest sources of income, putting trillions of rubles in to the government's coffers from the very profitable business dealings and the large Vetalian expatriate presence that accompanied such success.


The Griffincrest Corporation would like to ask you to take the time to fill out this brief survey. We thank you in advance for your time.

Have you heard of us?:

Yes, we have. Vetalian investors and this government both hold significant interests in the Confederacy and do business with the Corporation on a regular basis.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

Based upon our own surveys the Corporation is one of the most admired companies in Vetalia (23% of respondents) behind the Bank of Vetalia and the two recently privatised GSEs Elektronika and BioPreparat Corporation. My personal opinion is in line with that of the people whom I represent.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

Vetalia consumes all of these products provided by your corporation, in particular platinum and uranium.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

We would be interested, especially for long-term purchasing contracts given the fluctuations in global markets. This is a matter for the Vetalian Senate, however and is not directly in my hands.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

I am not aware of them but if they are productive and enhance the financial performance of the Corporation we are fully behind any kind of social responsibility undertaken by Griffincrest.

Other comments:

Thank you for sending this survey. We have long had cordial relations with Griffincrest and the Confederacy even when the actions of allies and other nations friendly towards Vetalia may pose a threat. Hopefully this reinforces our commitment to long, profitable relations between us.
Allanea
17-03-2009, 03:07
Have you heard of us?:

Yes. Most recently the Griffincrest Corporation had attempted to declare war on our shipping. We have proceeded to sink several thousand Griffincrest vessels. We are pleased to report that this has lead to a cessation of Griffincrest piratical activity and a general amelioration of their customer service.

We will happily recommend the services of the new Griffincrest corporation to the consumers.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

Cautious, yet sympathetic to the improvement of the company's ways.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

The Allanean military procures fuel and plastics from Griffincrest.


Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

See above.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

Yes.
Derscon
17-03-2009, 03:09
Have you heard of us?: Yes

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?: The Dersconi Amaranthine Imperium retains the complete Blacklisting of all Corporate Alliance members.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?: No. Not only is the CA blacklisted, Derscon has no need to import these products.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?: No.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?: No, because they do not exist, and if they do, they are fronts for corporate imperialism.

Have you heard of us?:

Yes, definitely

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

We hate the Griffincrest Corporation wholeheartedly, as it has more than once attempted to seize our findings and those of our allies. We will not stand for any move by the Griffincrest Corporation anywhere into a location under our control.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

Absolutely not.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

No.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

No.

Someone, somewhere in a make-believe government, was having a boring afternoon. Nothing like a corporate Q/A to lighten such dull day, and as such anonymous individual hoped to, it happened, and now he had a chance to pretend expressing the opinion of a supposed government inside an Anarchist Confederacy.

An opinion taken like serious business, where the culture, values and view of the people would become clear regarding such Griffincrest Corporation.

Have you heard of us?:

Yes, the guys who refused to challenge the one man's army of a redneck with his sawed-off shotgun defending the sea-based oil fields in his artificial island and who only take oil from barely defended holes.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

If you don't invade Automagfreek for Oil, you are worth nothing LOL

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

Easier for a paper dog to chase an asbestos cat in Hell.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

NO U

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

The Beatus
17-03-2009, 04:21
Have you heard of us?:

No, however my aides have.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

Well from what my aides tell me, Griffincrest Corporation, is a bloodthirsty ultra-capitalist organization, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all competition, through buyouts, hostile takeovers, or failing all else, paramilitary action. If even 1/10 of this is true, than I believe yours is the corporate model that all others should strive for.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

Yes, mainly from domestic sources.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

No, sadly, our domestic sources, can provide them at far cheaper prices. My suggestion to you, would be, to lower your prices or you'll never be able to compete in the Beatusian market.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

No, neither do my aides, however, should there be such things, it would come as a great disappointment to me, and greatly tarnish Griffincrest's to this point, silver coating.

Other comments:

Keep on truckin' you crazy go getters! And never, not ever, forget why you got into this. You got into this to make money and dominate the market, not to provide humanitarian aide, or high standards of living to your employees, down that path lies the darkside.

~Office of the President~

Have you heard of us?:
Of course.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:
The Griffincrest corporation is in our terms, psychopathic. We despise the Griffincrest corporation. No Griffincrest products, employees or establishments are permitted on Cazatanian soil.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:
All products, as stated previously are banned. All Griffincrest products that are found in Cazatania are taken by the government and used for our own purposes.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:
The only contact we would like with the Griffincrest corporation would be between Cazatanian soldiers and your board of directors.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:
*Officials in the room with the President later recalled him falling off his chair laughing at this question.*

Other comments: The Union Navy will continue to seize or destroy any Griffencrest-related shipping that approaches Manthian national waters under the authority of anti-piracy statutes. This should inform you quite unambiguously of the Union's stance on your corporation in general.

Have you heard of us?:
Yes, yes we have heard of you. We heard you died, twice.
-And the second time, you tried pinning the blame on us...

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:
They are a global terrorist organization in possession of nuclear weapons.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:
No, we do not use Griffencrest Petroleum Products. Nor do we povide shelter for their nuclear weapons or stockpiles of precious metals.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:
No, we are not interested in negotiating with terrorists.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:
Yes, we do know of three particular aid missions, and have been meaning to speak with you regarding the level of radiation we encountered in sector 7G...

Other comments:
You are under arrest, Mr Griffencrest. Please report to the nearest Hurtian Embassy immediately for processing.

***REPLY FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF TRADE, NEW CHALCEDON***

In response to the Griffincrest Corporation's request for information, we have issued this communique. Hopefully, it will contain the answers that Griffincrest seeks.

[signed]

Martin Rivers,
Secretary of Trade.

Have you heard of us?: Yes, the Empire, while it has never directly crossed swords with the Corporation, has heard a great many things of the Corporation, all negative. However, if Allanea is willing to certify that Griffincrest has changed its ways, then we will give you the benefit of the doubt, as Allanea is known to us as an honest, noble nation - despite our ideological differences. (OOC: Allanea, you are libertarian, as far as I know. I am a centrist as far as economics go. But I respect you - you make good arguments.)

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?: Negative, however, see above for official Imperial policy regarding the Corporation.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?: See below for each.

The Empire has taken steps to severely reduce our dependance on oil, given that we possess virtually none of it, and those corporations that import goods prefer to do so from sources with no overt political motives, in order that their supply not be disrupted.

Griffincrest Arms supplies part of the Empire's civilian market (the Empire does not restrict imports of arms beyond issuing safety requirements), but the Imperial Armed Forces have their weapons produced at facilities within the Empire whenever possible. Security, you understand.

Rubber is a good that the Empire has a surplus of. We do not import it from anyone.

Platinum: The Empire's major industry is IT, which platinum has little application to. Consequently, the Empire imports very little, as the domestic production supplies virtually all of the domestic demand.

Uranium: The Empire is always interested in diversifying its sources of nuclear fuel. As the world is aware, besides having a substantial nuclear arsenal, the Empire's main source of electricity is nuclear power. Whilst we do not currently count the Griffincrest Corporation on our list of suppliers, all things change.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

With regards to oil, rubber and platinum - the Empire's corporations are not subject to routine restriction on the import/export of these products, and Griffincrest would be well advised to approach prominent corporations in the field. If the Corporation wishes, the Department of Trade will give you a listing of corporations involved in such activity. However, current market stability plus a distrust of Griffincrest makes large-scale market intrusion unlikely.

In regards to weapons: The Empire thanks the Griffincrest Corporation, but no.

In regards to uranium: This, unlike most goods, is subject to Imperial licensing of imports. And the Empire wishes to diversify its imports of uranium, on the grounds that diversity of suppliers is security of supply. If Griffincrest wishes to export uranium (refined or otherwise) to the Empire, an approach to the Department of Trade would be welcome.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?: No, and they would hold no weight with us. Our past observation of Griffincrest "humanitarian" missions is that they are, at best, attempts at PR, and at worst, covers for invasion and dispossession. The Griffincrest Corporation, even more than most, is interested in the bottom line, and humanitarian missions damage this line, requiring an ulterior motive.

Other comments: The Empire is always willing to make friends of enemies. But unless the Griffincrest Corporation has truly changed its business model to preclude such activities as forceful dispossession of others' resources, large-scale environmental devastation and overt political meddling, it is unlikely.
Lynion
17-03-2009, 14:13
Have you heard of us?: Yes, however, its all negative.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

A bunch of ignorant bullies who think they should own the world's oil supply. At the same time they construct an alliance in which they attack members who attempt to leave the Coperate/Coperation Alliance.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

No we don't. Lynion depends on its own supplies since we intend to contiune to supply ourselves and/or trade with friendly or allies of the Vamperial Kingdom. We don't have intensions with trading with bullies.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

We have no intension of signing contracts, agreeing to contracts or even making the slightest attempt to make a contract with your coperation. The Vamperial Kingdom is in no interest of accepting/creating contracts with the coperation

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

Humanitarian aid missions? We were never aware of such Humanitarian aid missions you were doing. Is this for the greater good of the nation your helping or is it for the greater good of your own coperation?

Other comments:

Yes, I suggest you don't bother requesting trade contracts with Lynion since we won't have any use for them. We'll be more interested in trading with our allies and friends who we intend to find are more friendly back to us. Also your market attempts to enter the Vamperial Market won't be accepted or will be pushed aside to allow local/native contractors to take to the market sector of the Vamperial Kingdom.

OOC: Y'all do realize Griffincrest no longer engages in acts of piracy, right?
Unkerlantum
17-03-2009, 16:35
ooc: Okay and? The fact is that Griffencrest did commit acts of piracy and worse for decades.

You think if the Nazi's had stopped killing "undesirables" at 1 million people instead of 12 million that the international community would suddenly be "cool" with them?

IC:

The Griffincrest Corporation would like to ask you to take the time to fill out this brief survey. We thank you in advance for your time.

Have you heard of us?:
Yes

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:
Terrorist Organization with the support of the corrupt/illegitimate Blackhelm government.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:
No, all products coming from Griffencrest are blacklisted, cargo shipments found entering the country are seized by the government and sold in addition to domestic exports

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:
No,

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:
Griffencrest does not engage in humanitarian aid missions unless there is large personal profit to be made. Basically any humanitarian aid mission called by griffencrest is nothing more than a cover for what is really a corporate exploitation mission.

Other comments:
Warrants exist for all employees of the Griffencrest corporation for crimes against international law, piracy, as well as acts of terrorism.

Any person found within the Kingdom to have (or previously had) employment with Griffencrest Corp faces an automatic 550,000 Unkerlantian pound fine, 10 years of prison which will be extended until either payment of fines is fulfilled or compensated for through the use of hard labor.

Additional punishments include an additional 350,000 fine, 5 additional years in jail. Higher ranking officials or those found to have directly participated in acts of piracy or terrorism could also face death by hanging/beheading or life confinement to a labor camp.

Nations known to trade with Griffencrest have high tariffs placed on their goods and have a lower trade priority

The international community agreed to be cool with the Nazis in 1939, had they not invaded Poland they'd be fine. How do you settle your tariffs on anybody who trades with Griffincrest with free trade with me?
Unkerlantum
17-03-2009, 17:11
ooc: Seeing as Im not in the CSS, Im not really bound to that rule anymore so consider tariffs of 60%+ imposed then.

The Nazi's hadn't massacred a million jews until after 1939..that's besides the point though. Nazis even today are an outcast group for things the Nazi's did 70 odd years ago.

(I could go on about how the International community never really liked the Nazi's and only tolerated them at the beginning because they wanted to avoid another huge war.)

Anyways though...like the Nazi's Griffencrest will be an unwanted/disliked organization due to its numerous past transgressions no matter what the "new" Griffencrest does. I'd rather not clutter the thread with ooc either btw.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?: No.

The Griffincrest Corporation would like to ask you to take the time to fill out this brief survey. We thank you in advance for your time.

Have you heard of us?: Of course the ASoGM has heard of Griffincrest. They ran a propaganda campaign designed to falsely give Algae Oil a bad name.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?: The ASoGM tries not to think of Griffincrest. However, given Griffincrest's bad press, that is not easy.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?: The ASoGM does not, nor will we need to for the foreseeable future.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?: It is highly doubtful that the ASoGM would contract with Griffincrest for anything, given Griffincrest's past reputation.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?: The ASoGM is unaware of any humanitarian aid missions being conducted by Griffincrest.

Other comments: Until the Griffincrest Corporation's international reputation improves dramatically, the ASoGM will not consider any trade relations with Griffincrest.

Official Allanean Response to the government of New Chalcedon

We in the United States are currently cooperating with the government of Blackhelm and the Griffincrest Corporation to create a new future for the Blackhelmians. Of course, the people of Griffincrest Corporation are not humanitarians. Like all corporations, Griffincrest Corporation is interested in its bottom line first, second, and last. But we believe the tumultuous events of the past had made Griffincrest, Incorporated understand that their profits lie not in raiding the civilian commerce of other nations, but in selling products and producing them.

Indeed, Griffincrest Corporation engages in charity operations throughout the world. We see no reason for these to be ignored by the world community.

No,Griffincrest products are on Federal blacklist and banned,and their possesion is considered a criminal act.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:
No,as that would be a vreach of Federal law.
Also there is no intention of contracting Griffincrest in the future.

Temporary Miraaderic Quarters
The battlecruiser CNS Ardent
In Graceland Bay, Catawaba

"Pull!" Upon command the clay pigeon skidded into the air, fleeing over the foam-whipped waters of the bay. Alpha Miraade Errant Mira'ad brought the Modular Offensive Rifle up to his shoulder. He sighted through the assault scope, choosing a point out ahead of the pigeon's flight path and then raising the crosshairs up a mildot. Instead of pulling the trigger for the MOR's 6.5mm barrel under his right finger. He pulled the trigger for the 12-guage shotgun attachement under his left finger. The rifle shoved back into his shoulder and the double ought buckshot created a spreading cone that shattered the pigeon.

Errant smiled watching the orange flecks and shards scatter. He lowered the rifle from his eye and watched them splash into the sea. "Damn, I love doing that." He yelled over his shoulder. He turned around, expecting to see his Miraaderic Guard detail, most of them old comrades from the Revolution, smiling. No, they were alert and looking like they were working. Out in the middle of the bay, surrounded by naval escort, aboard one of the most powerful ships of the line that Catawaba possessed, their duties were a tad easier, but their professionialism never had an off mode.

Especially with the dour Counselor for Foriegn Affairs, and Errant's generally disapproving aunt, Lolimba Bevu was about. The dark skinned Taung stateswoman looked around the deck, which was littered with shotgun shells, and then at Errant who was shouldering his MORS-(Shotgun) by its strap. "Playing?"

Errant shook his head. "Practice. I'm a Marine sergeant."

"Technically and theoretically." Lolimba reminded him.

"Currently and eventually again...well in four years, five months, and twenty-seven days. Until that day, I'm not going to get behind. Ain't like I have anything else I can do. Barely got a GED."

Lolimba shook her head. "They'll reelect you in four years, three months, and twelve days. Before then you need to answer and make an opinion on future relations with a country you gave the blackspot to."

Errant frowned. "Who?" Lolimba handed him a file thick with intercepted diplomatic correspondence but topped by a simple diplomatic survey. "Oh."

Some time later, a response returned to the Griffencrest's Corporate Communications Office from the Catawaban Miraade himself.

http://myweb.cableone.net/bschott/Playerdoc/gc3.jpg

The Griffincrest Corporation would like to ask you to take the time to fill out this brief survey. We thank you in advance for your time.

Have you heard of us?:

Most certainly.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

Initially negative, I consider you to be a jingoist power fixed on glutting yourself on lesser, resource-rich nations, which is why I've never hinted at any resources finds I might have in my nation.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

Not currently.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

Perhaps.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

At the present time, I am only aware of Griffincrest missions that lack both humantarianism and aid.

Other comments:

My above answers are purposefully vague. My intelligence services have been quite aware of your previous actions around the globe. As a relatively small nation, I have had to take a turtle-like stance towards the world outside my region to avoid notice such as yours or as it used to be it seems. I have had a poor opinion of the Allanean governemnt as well, which makes me doubly suspicious.

However the sincerety that Allanea is showing on your behalf makes me more suspicious that you may be truly changed. In the interest of fostering and supporting this changed heart, the Miraadery of Catawaba would be interested in importing raw materials from the Griffincrest Corporation, and perhaps future expansion of Griffencrest production facilities upon Catawaban soil.

Be warned, that I hold seriously and dearly to my nation's motto : "Speak courteously, deal fairly, and defend tenaciously." My good nature best not be taken advantage of. This is Griffincrest's one chance for Catawaban friendship.


From the heart,


Alpha Miraade Errant Mira'ad

Have you heard of us?:

As a long standing ally to both the Griffencrest Corporation and, through the Toopoxican Trading Organization, the Corporate Alliance. Yes I have heard of you.

What is your opinion of the Griffincrest Corporation?:

Mixed. The political makeup of the Griffencrest Corporation to me seems rough and illogical. We do aspire to the strength of economy and foreign dominance that the Griffencrest have achieved and we remain staunch allies of the Griffencrest.

Do you use our oil, weapons, rubber, platinum, or uranium?:

Whilst a majority of above mentioned resources are sourced by the Toopoxican Organization we do import several Griffencrest materials.

Would you be interested in a contract with the Griffincrest Corporation for any of the above mentioned items?:

We would require further negotiation with members of the Corporation before such contracts could be considered. We would be interested.

Do you know of the Griffincrest humanitarian aid missions?:

I object. Not only am I unaware of Griffencrest humanitarian aid I am positive that past dealings with the Corporation have shown your actions in just the opposite of said.

Other comments:

As we have discussed we remain the ally of the GC and the CA. We would like to consider further and closer dealings with both in the future.
