At the present day, i am very well aware both of your small nations have noticed the growing power of the Armed Republic i have the honor to speak for. On behalf of our President Dantrithor, i have been given the chance of improving our mutual relations with a commercial agreement.
We would agree to export our civilian line of firearms, and civilian extreme-lethal weapons toll-free to both your young nations, with a total anual value of 5,000,000,000 Astars with the following offers:
- The Republic of Culebra Island: The licenses to open up to 30 casinos in a scalated way (up to 8 per year), in our major cities, with the condition that no more than one casino can be opened in a district. The taxes would be reduced to a mere 2% income tax, and our banks would only charge 0,5% for international transactions.
- The Holy Empire of Tenabras: The licenses to open up to 200 retail stores in a scalated way (up to 30 per year) without import tolls, and with an income tax of 4%. Banks will only charge licensed stores with 0,5% international transfer rates.
A minimun of 80% of your workers will have to be natives, with the exception of directives charged with the management of one casino, or more than 5 stores. All foreign employees will attend compulsory education courses to learn our laws and situation.
I am sure you will understand the beneficts of our mutual relationship.
Atte. The Ministry of External Affairs
Atte. The President of The Armed Republic of Dantrithor
Quote:The Dictatorship of Small Furry Critters is a massive, devout nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.027 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, major cities are suffering under water rationing, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Small Furry Critters's national animal is the albino chipmunk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the fizzle.
I win.

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.
Nation States 2 will have war. I will need to find someplace to hide :unsure:
The Republic of Culebra Island is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Culebra Island's national animal is the Viper and its currency is the Fang.
The Republic of Aethrania is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 16%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry.
Crime is moderate. Aethrania's national animal is the kabalalahalalazala and its currency is the cowbell.
