We thank you for allowing us to establish the connections. Construction will start by RENFE(one of our 3 rail operators) immediately.
Please refer to our factbook for the road and rail connections of Arveoli.

We need financial support, if you dare to finance us instead of the mercantilists we will accept and send our CGV speciallists and manpower to start the construction.

We regret to inform you that the construction project was already given to RENFE. However, the right to operate the line is still open. We welcome your nation to be one of the bidders or partners for the rail operation.

Sincerely,
Head of Commerce and Trade, Marketa Byznyzova

To: Royal Takasia Commerce and Trade

We are a bit confuse, are you saying RENFE will construct CGV lines or that you'r giving up on the CGV project for regular railroads?

[tak]

OOC: There are three rail operators in Takasia, Die Bahn, SNCF and RENFE. All three have experiences in running high speed rail in mainland Takasia. RENFE will now lay the AVE track, which with minimal modification, if any, your CGV trains will be able to run on. So if you are still interested in introducing CGV trains, that would be perfect. Otherwise, we will have to stick to our AVE trains.

[Delfos]

OOC: oh ok, we'r sending the experts then

To: New Delfos Minister of Foreign Affairs, Holter Fowrnevish
From: Royal Takasia Commerce and Trade

As the Takasian section of the rail line is rather short (100km), RENFE has more than enough resources to complete it in time for the opening of the Canal. Such quick decision was necessary due to the time constraint.

However, we believe that introducing the CGV technology and competition would benefit both countries. Please consider a joint venture with RENFE or a seperate bid for the operation of the rail line, between Venezea and Tagirstan. Please not that Tagirstan operators have the right to run on this line, so there will be at least one competing operator for the line.

Sincerely,
Marketa Byznyzova

OOC: Please refer to our factbook for the track layout.

We have been proposed to make a CGV line between Venezea and Tagirstan, we have a the right specialists and scientists, few manpower and financial support. So we would like to propose the Mercantilist West O Company to finance and maintain this railroad we'r about to build. Everything is planed, we just need a lil more manpower and financial budget. If you do accept, two thirds of the profit will be yours, and we assure this is a great project to be continued inside Tagirstan.
Also note we have other things to discuss, i need to collect a vessel that crashed nearby your islands, would you meet me? I'll go in one of the New Delfos Air Force choppers, it will be a quick visit, just tell me a place where i can meet you.

From: Minister of Research and Technology, Karl Meinsgart
To:Royal Takasia Commerce and Trade

Im in charge of telling you the news, we will accept if we get our desired support from the Mercantilists, if not we'll build it anyway. Dont worry. We'r also interested in building a CGV line in your territory, i'v contacted the ambassador already, he will be in charge of the details.

After two years since the ancient city (now code named Firenzea), some suggestive find about the city was finally discovered.

Tagirstani archaeologist, while trying to stop excavation after locating the eastern city wall, found some structure outside, "Hey! What is this lying outside the city?"
"The building looks completely different from those in the city", commented the Mercantilist.
"It looks like some statue kind of thing," said the New Dalfian.
"It must be the pyramid!" exclaimed the one from NHL.

[Delfos]

OOC: the 'Delfians' were never involved in the archeology :p but ok you can put 1 or 2 archaeologists there lol.

[New History lovers]

OOC: Um...is this meant as the Pyramid that's in my flag, or another one?  Because the one in my flag is fully visible already, never was buried.

[Delfos]

OOC: follow up, just invent new pyramid, no pyramid comes alone, you know? :p

From: Denny Hamilton, Mercantilist West O Company

We will provide the financing and maintenance of the railroad, and we also hope to learn much from your specialists. We have never ventured into the railroad industry and once this project is completed would be interested in hiring some of your specialists to 'Railroad Division' we would create within our company. Or if this undertaking is being done by a private company, then we would wish to acquire a stake in said company (OOC:2/3 profit would kind of imply this, otherwise it'd be a joint contract b/t your government and West O). We foresee that these skills may come in handy in other areas of the world in the future.

As for your request to help collect a vessel in Mercantilist States waters, I would advise you to contact the Mercantilist States Department of Commerce and they may be able to further assist you.

Sincerely,

Denny Hamilton

Our Specialists and Scientists cannot be hired. However, they can work in a partial government funding company. We shall create such company, 2 thirds of the company are yours, another third are the Government Labs, patents, scientists and specialists. We would like to work along the mercantillists and spread our CGV railroads to other countries. The project is fully finished, they need some testing but i bet whenever we build the Venezea-Tagirstan CGV line we will be all functional.

Hello, we would like to arrange a meeting in one of your heliports. We have to discuss a few things and we need to retrieve a rocket vessel from your waters asap. Could you tell me where to meet you? Thank you in advance.

We have to stress that railroads are strategic infrastructure of Takasia. While we are interested in the CGV technology, it is our responsibility to protect the interest of Takasia. The government reserves the right to refuse any foreign-owned rail operators running in Takasia, unless they satisfy any of the following criteria:

a. A joint-venture with a local company, with the latter owning more than 50% of the joint-venture, or
b. A foreign company running services from/to/through their home country.
