Askholme has extended its trading reach now to the NS-lands!

Our nation is part of AUTOMOTOR, an international body that discusses all aspects of the automotive industry. AUTOMOTOR are based in Astholm, which our nation shares a land border with.

AUTOMOTOR has satellite offices in Australis, Astholm and the United Kingdom of Anglezarke - where they border.

This nation's motor industry is fairly different to some NS nations: in order for a foreign brand to expand within the nation, they must apply to the following individuals:

Askholme Automotive Industry Minister (currently James Allen)
Askholme Minister of Transport (currently John White)
Askholme Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (currently Simon Scott)

and AUTOMOTOR in order to get a licence.

Then they must find a local manufacturer to make an agreement or a partnership with: there are no limitations as to how many manufacturers they can work with.

Our local manufacturers are:

Premier Askholme Automotive Group - currently importing the following manufacturers ' vehicles, and marketing them here:

Ford
Mercury
Lincoln
Mazda


GMM Motors - currently importing the following manufacturers ' vehicles, and marketing them here:

(Note: The above manufacturers are from Astholm, over the border)


However, manufacturers from Australis, Astholm and the United Kingdom of Anglezarke are exempt from these regulations, since the nations tradre within AUTOMOTOR anyway. Details of how to join AUTOMOTOR are in a separate thread.
