The State of Ulgania is looking for investors to, to say it lightly, set up shot in our country. The country, while being relatively modern still has an economy dependent on the exportation of raw material, and the importation of manufactured goods and durable goods alike. This state of affairs, while currently working well economically will have to shift in a new direction if the country wishes to remain on its feet. Our top economists warn of a looming trade deficit which could strangle the country's economy, and we would like to preempt such a disaster before it occurs. Ulgania is not, however a third world country. It is modern, with heavy investment in its infrastructure. The country remains peaceful, and has much to offer in terms of agriculture, raw material, and lower costs for setting up manufacturing sectors. Our currency is strong, among the strongest in all of Africa, and our citizens affluent and fully capable of purchasing more heavy duty goods. The markets for thousands of high-prices items is more than open in Ulgania. The business just needs to be brought to it. OOC: I'm not on the African map yet, but I'm in the general Zimbabwe area. My country is actually peaceful and stable right now, so things are good for investment |

Al Qalaa Petrocorp would like to purchase oil rights to Ulgania, and Al Qalaa is always in need of agricultural products. |

Just a side note: 50% of all mines, farms, oil fields, and otherwise harvestable aspects of Ulgania are nationalized, and all development will be overseen to a limited extent only to ensure that workers rights and safety are ensured, that fair business practices are being met, and that little to no damage is being done to the environment, or the state of health to the country. OOC: Basically it means don't act stupid in my nation. Heh. And Al Qalaa, I have other things to discuss with you. |

Amalgamated African Development, based in The Anarchist Fiefdom of Zeelar, is offering a proposal to privatize these nationalized industries that would permit for the construction of private holdings as well as mills to create finished goods, within the Ulganian homeland. This scheme would involve the government issuing shares of stock to be placed into private hands, so the government could rid itself of this investment, thus allowing more freer trade. |

While the privatization of nationalized resources may be very profitable in the short run, considering the vast public disapproval of such actions in the long run, as well as a certain degree of national pride this proposal would have to fall within the confines of the non-nationalized aspects of the country's resources. This amount is still high, and will still benefit all parties involved. The available resources could be overseen by the government, and privatized through shares of stock however. -Secretary of Commerce, Nora Clellen --- We are prepared to allow for Al Qalaa to begin a general purchase of petroleum rights in Ulgania within the confines of available resources. As much of the non-nationalized reserves have been unexplored, buying rights to those resources would also include exploration and refining expenditures. Edited by Ulgania, Jun 6 2008, 02:58 PM.

We can offer geologist to find new deposits, these would be turned over to the Ulgania Government, for a small fee. Also we the IMC might be will to set up factories, and Menhad would be willing to set up military factories, and sell our products for reduced price. -The Three Families |

To: Supreme Chancellor Roland Valentine From: Chief Executive Officer Dresden Valentine Re: Investment in Ulgania It has been a long time since I have been home, cousin, and I am proud of you for how far you have come in this world. The Aurum Corporation has also expanded into the largest independent arms manufacturing corporation in the world, and is always seeking to expand even further. Recent deals in Sahndaq, Ulaya, Tutchone, and other places around the globe have shown profit for all involved, and it is without doubt that I feel the same thing would occur, should I return and set up a branch in Ulgania. I desire to meet privately with you, in this regard. It has been long since we have seen one another, and each passing day makes that time only longer. Surely you have time to meet me, cousin? We can discuss family, home, business - everything that needs to be discussed. May we never be so seperate again - let us rebuild our familial ties. |

OOC: Baw, forgot about this for a couple days >_> IC: To: The Three Families, Menhad. From: Ulganian Ministry of the Interior, Department of Commerce. We are very sorry, but we do not see investment from your nation to be in Ulgania's best interests at this time considering stances we are taking your region. For the moment, in order to fulfill these relations we must indefinitely postpone any deals that we may be able to strike at this time. --- The offer from Alberto is acceptable. --- To: CEO Dresdan Valentine From: Supreme Chancellor Roland Valentine Ah, it has indeed been a very long time cousin. It seems your corporation has given clout as well. I, and my country would be honored to have an Aurum Corporation branch located in our borders. I can only hope that this can occur timely. I am sure a meeting between us is possible. Please, come, stay in Serpentine for a time, and bring any family you may have. I feel the separation between us has caused a rift between our entire family, and I must make amends. Please come, and bring whatever representatives you desire to make things operational. -Roland |

Many passenger trains are held to different standards as freight rail lines, in that they don't need to fit international standards. However, all freight lines fit to the international standard gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches, and can handle a 135 pounds/per linear yard load. The network connects all major cities and ports. |

UBS, a diversified global financial services company centered in Porcu but actually run by the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC), would like to establish new banks and other financial institutions within Ulgania to help with the investment of foreign capital into your borders. |

Amalgamated African Development has done as promised. Wire funds should arrive shortly to provide payment for resources. We are sure this shall benefit all sides, as you have stated. ----------------------- This is a golden chance for investment then, considering Ulgania's position. A Cape to Cairo railway is still long out of reach, even though the Trans-Saharan service has been long traveling. That being said, this is a leg to stand on for that dream. There is much unclaimed land, to do as any please, between Ulgania and nations north....would any authority give charter, as Zeelari investors have, to a new Trans-African Railway? OOC: I am referencing, of course, the dream of Cecil Rhodes, the diamond magnate of whom Rhodesia was named for. |

This is allowable, however all international financial institutions running in Ulgania are subject to the same rules and regulations as nationally run banking services, and will be held accountable by the Banking Division of the Department of Commerce (BDDC).
Perhaps a joint charter for a Trans-African railway, with construction occurring by more than a single firm run by a single nation would be a better option. A monumental task as this could be seen as a sign of regional pride. The Sovereign State would be more than willing to aid an endeavor such as this one. Edited by Ulgania, Jun 11 2008, 04:19 PM.

In a show of support to our new ally, and to aid the new government stabilize itself, Al Qalaa is willing to donate up to 10 billion Dinars to the Ulganian government, to use as they see fit. OOC: that's $15 billion |

We thank Al Qalaa for this generous donation, but it is not quite necessary anymore. However, in the spirit of goodwill, instead of idly handing it back, we will return this goodwill with a 7.5 billion gil investment into a modernization effort of Al Qalaa's arms manufacturing industry. OOC: You site offers AK-47s... even though I did buy AK-103s it still helps haha. And yeah, 7.5 gil = $15 |
