Do you own, roleplay, or manage a large corporation? Got it created in Nationstates but don't know what to do with it? Or alternatively, are you interested in a concept that's been envisioned by many but never (to my knowledge) actually been done?

Let me introduce to you the World Stock Exchange (http://www.nationstates.net/region=world_stock_exchange). Basically, the concept is an international stock exchange, with the price per share based off statistics given by your in-game account. To put it simply, you will be able to increase or decrease the value of your shares by increasing or decreasing how you rank under various categories of the UN. These rankings will be used to calculate a number of indicators, which will in turn assist in the calculation of a 'general index'. The general index will then be used to determine a price per share, and whether the value of your shares are increasing or decreasing. Begin ranking highly under a number of UN categories and you'll start to find the value of your shares rise. But start to drop and you'll find your shares dropping also.

The concept will be entering into its Alpha stage shortly depending on the amount of interest if it receives. I will need a minimum of ten companies 'listed' with the Exchange to make it worth my while, else I won't bother and spend my time doing other things like studying and some assignments I already have overdue. In any case, the idea is out there... if you're interested, create a company you roleplay and/or move an existing company you have to the region. No TGs will be required.

Not so certain why we need ten 'nations', from my experience, it takes a long time for regions to develop. If you got, say, three or four, just develop the forumla then.

Still, I sent a puppet over there. I like the idea, but think it was copied before. Oh well. But a pro-business area is still a good idea...

OOC: This sounds like fun, I have a oil company, Black Rock Oil and Natural Gas, which is very corrupt and was made just to war against the other corporations and give them some compition, so this sounds like fun, maybe I will join.

5 minutes ago: The Dominion of Aligar arrived from Gods Sanctuary.

If you want to have Black Rock Oil and Natural Gas listed with the World Stock Exchange could you please move an entity of the same name to the region instead of Aligar? This is particularly critical since the World Stock Exchange is not intended to house countries, but corporations, which is an important factor in data collection and the operation of the Exchange as a whole.

Unless one can buy and sell shares in the Dominion of Aligar itself?

Thanks for your interest, by the way.

OOC: I will think up a corporation just for this cause!
