Title: Takasia Canal AG
Post by: tak on April 30, 2007, 07:41:35 AM
Takasia Canal AG, a subsidiary of Marks Sealand, has announced the completion of Canal Takasia. The 260-km canal connects the Takasburger Strait and Sconian Gulf via St. Takasburg and Munching. The completion of the canal will greatly enhance the shipping industry, particularly in the winter months.

With the completion of Canal Takasia, Takasia Canal A.G. has bought a thin strip of land on Arveo from the local tribes and commenced the construction of 350-km Canal Arveo. This will provide Marks Sealand a more direct route to Arveo Sea Nations and the far east.

Title: Mysterious City Unearthed
Post by: tak on May 01, 2007, 04:53:37 AM
CANAL ARVEO SITES (Agence Takasie Presse) - About 10 km from the western mouth of the proposed Canal Arveo, recently discovered a unique, ancient city which has lain covered in sands for more than 2,500 years.

So far, 1 square kilometer of the city has been unearthed, while the size of the city is estimated to be much larger. Little is known about the history of the region during this period.

The construction of the Canal in the western end has halted, until a diversion of the Canal is designed.

Loverian archaeologists are very interested in the finding of this city, as it could possibly be related to the Great Eastern Pyramid, here in History lovers, relatively nearby.  It could explain the Prechristian loverian obsession with the Pyramid as a religious and cultural symbol.

Today departed "Tauros Glory" from Sharjah seaport (northen New Delfos), taking 1 thousand of willing workers to Takasia country, the urge to work on the Canal Takasia construction. They and theire families were chosen from the Kazjko Employment Center to travel to this far away country so that they could win their lives as Emigrants. A telegram was wired from Lot Kazi's office this morning to Takasia president:

The Kingdom of Takasia congratulates the terrific found of the city, an integral part of your nations history. We would like to invite your historians and archaeologists in assisting the excavationof the buried city. This will definitely help both our nations in understanding the history of the area.

Takasia government would also like to invite your nation to co-administer the area, as we believe this treasure of your nation would provide the best conservation and protection. Moreover, Takasia would like to explore the possibilities of commercial development for the tourist industry. This would be the greatest opportunity for both countries to enhance the awareness of our area's history.

We would also like to inform your nation that our canal work will resume, 10km north of the excavated site. We believe together with the found of the lost city, this canal shall prove to be strategic and beneficial to your nation too.

To attract more labour in constructing the Canal Arveo to compensate the time loss, Takasian government issued the "Arveo Development Decree":

Quote from: Arveo Development Decree
Arveo Development Decree
The Royal Takasian government shall grant an acre of free land with Takasian military protection to whoever participate in the Canal Arveo construction or in defending Takasia's interests in the area.

The area granted wil be no less than 20km north of the canal, no less than 50km from the mouths, and no less than 20km south of the borders of Tagirstan and Feniexia.

We are excited to inform you of the Arveo Development Decree are applicable to your workers as well. On the other hand, the Canal Takasia has already been opened, and that should have substantially reduced the time for your vassels to reach St Oz, though we are certain that the journey will be further reduced once the Canal Arveo is completed, scheduled 4 years later (4 RL days).

The Takasian government would also like to invite you to establish an embassy in St. Takasburg. We will send a delegate to your country as well if you want to. This will further improve our relations.

The huge and lendary hospital-military ship, named Aid of Boyenivish, is arriving tomorrow in St. Takasburg white 5 thousand workers, this workers will return the mother nation after the Canal Arveo is complete, for they are leaving without theire families, they shall be treated as any other Imigrant, but they will stay temporarily, if you give the promissed land to this 5 thousand, they will build a garden in the limited porpotions, in honer of our relationship.

About the embassies, we'r sorry to tell you that we have not yet finished the construction of our Embassy complex in Delfingrado, with full view of Kazjko sea, but we can grant a top suit with the same properties till the complex is finished in the 5 stars Grand Royal Delfo Hotel [*****].

The Mercantilist West O Company has taken an interest in the Arveo Development Decree and would be interested in helping with the construction of your canal and obtaining acreage. We hold partial ownership in two Mercantilian based construction companies, the Aliburten Corporation and the Boracai Development Co., both of whose services we can enlist. The former for assisting in construction of the canal, and the latter for developing the acquired acreage. We would also be sending a significant labor force.

In exchange, we request 75 square miles, preferably with coastal access, to begin construction of a city, Merchant City, within your allotted protected area. It will be classified as a "freeport-special economic zone (FSEZ)" under our administration and we plan to turn it into an international shipping and business hub, as well as a tourist destination.

We are excited about your participation of the Canal Arveo. As promised by ADD, we will grant you the Merchant City on the Mediterranean Coast as requested. However, we would advise against your company to build a shipping and business hub there.

As all Takasian ports are duty free, your company is recommended to settle your businesses in the ports of Milanou and Venezea at the mouths of the canal. The locations are much better for your business and shipping needs. However, with your company's experiences in tourism and resort business, it would be excellent if you can transform it to a tourist paradise. With the huge, ancient city unearthed near by, we are certain that the area will become a magnet of tourists.

We are looking forward to your feedback on this proposal. We thank you again for contributing to the success of the canal.

We will develop it into a tourist destination, however there is no reason to limit free enterprise in the city. We will be offering incentives for Mercantilian businesses to locate in Merchant City, eventually to extend to all international businesses, and will be constructing a harbor and international airport. However, we will keep their size relatively small in comparison to those of Milanou and Venezea so that those cities will remain the centers of shipping and industry.

We hope this proposal meets your approval and we will begin sending the necessary people and equipment to Arveoli.

We hope you would reconsider your decision. Instead of limiting competition, we would like to increase your companies' competitiveness by establishing them in the most convenient cities. As such, we can keep the pollution in Merchant City to a minimum. Having businesses concentrated in larger cities will benefit both nations. It is not an easy task to build a city, and even more difficult to build two. That is why we would like to pool in most resources in relatively few centres. Takasian cities are all extremely cosmopolitan, and we believe your countrymen and investors will feel most at home.

OOC: I thought you were a free marketer? That last response sounds like a command economy. I thought the purpose of spreading out the development of the area and granting independent/autonomous tracts was to develop the area in the shortest amount of time at minimal cost to you (like what governments do in RL). Plus, we (as in the government or administrator) doesn't build cities per se, it builds infrastructure and provides incentives; the market builds the city.

We heard there was interest on building railroads in Takasia. Happens that New Delfos just finished researching for the new CGV system (Comboio a Grande Velocidade - same as the RW TGV Train à Grand Velocité). It can reach 500kmph, it's absolute stable and it will comercialised next year, although, since the project is completed, we can run an operation with the help of the Mercantilist States, and the cooperation of Takasia and Tagirstan kingdoms to complete a pilot-project of the CGV. The help of the mercantilists is vital, for our nation cannot provide the sources and money in time, we can do a business that the profit shall be split in 4, even parts for each nation. If you are all interested please send a telegram back. We would like a fax with the desired territory with the desired stops for the railroads so our engineers and scientists can study it.

OOC: City planning usually means infrastructure, height and structure zoning restrictions, and incentives. The larger problem is that the West O Company is only a company, they can't "tell" other corporations where to locate; which was the point I was trying to make with the size of the ports. If they keep them small it will discourage big business.

Also, where does this area sit in terms of labor (aside from the West O's imported)? are you going to be importing settlers, are there natives, people from the countries to the north, etc.?

No offense was intended. Rest assured that we will develop the land primarily as a resort town, however there will be a central business district.

OOC: now, we are building an infrastructure, with the major one being the canal.
and all our ports are free for trade, so what we were doing was to invite your company to setup your port in the nearest port instead of building everything from scratch.
Takasian Canal and Marks Sealand are private companies building the ports at the mouths. Just becos we are not protectionist we even invite competitors to compete at the same ports rather than setting up seperate ones in inferior locations. We want to zone so that ports are concentrated, and not polluting other coasts - I don't understand why it has suddenly become planned economy...

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.

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.

We will provide the financing and maintenance of the railroad, and we also hope to learn much from your specialists.

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.

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.

We can structure an agreement company with 52% ownership by a local Takasian company, and 24% ownership by the Mercantilist West O Company and the New Delfos government. Would this arrangement be acceptable to all parties?

We would also be interested in hiring a railroad specialist from Takasia to head up a 'Railroad Division' of our company. Can you direct us to someone with the skills and interest?

I remind that the scientists and speciallists involved in the CGV project are Government employees. But all profits goe for the Government Labs. The government is not the owner of the capital profited in this business. (OOC:Indirectly, it is :p as long you keep profiting the Government Labs we just dont finance them so much.)

Our view over the 52% ownership leads us to disagreement, if they are to own 52%, they have to help to construct it at least 52%. We advise to follow for this alternate way: produce the lines and equipment required, M. West O Company finances and owns those 24%, Government Labs own the other 24%, giving them basis to advance in technology and build faster and safer trains. It's win win win, those 52% to a Takasian company will generate alot of workplaces and money. We also would like to appoint that the Takasian company must be independent. Can we closure to an agreement on this?

Takasia government does not differentiate between a foreign-owned company or a foreign-government entity, when it comes to an investment in the rail network of Takasia. As such, the before-mentioned requirements must be fulfilled.

If the terms are not agreeable, we regret that we would have to go with the AVE system as used in some routes in mainland Takasia. Time is running out, and the rail has to be operational before the completion of the Canal.

Im thinking of a filliation. the government labs and the mercantillists own a CGV division of West O, which is an independent company, but in your country, we make filliation with whatever national company you assign to take charge of the filliation, and we'r still independent, you you still own your 52% inside your country. what does that seems to you, gentlemen? <-let's say we had this discussion in character.

With the influx of predominantly male construction workers, the sex ratio in Arveoli has reached a dangerous level of 2:1. Many brothels in Venezea and Milanou were reporting staff shortage. Overtime work and rationing were now common scenes in these brothels. As such, the Takasian government decided to provide incentives for foreign sex workers:

Quote from: roberto bueno
Arveoli Sex Worker Incentive
The first 3,000 non-Takasian sex workers who sign up for a two-year (or above) contract with an entertainment company in Arveoli will be granted an extra sign-up bonus of five thousand Takasky marks (5,000™) from the local government. Such bonus ,plus interest and a penalty of thirty thousand Takasky marks (30,000™), shall be returned to the government if the worker terminates his/her contract prematurely.

The following three experts showed interests in the openings of West O:

Maximo Inglesias, 28, is the assistant project manager (Arveoli) of RENFE. He was responsible for the feasibility research in technical and financial areas of the Arveoli links to Tagirstan and under the canal to NHL. His strengths lie in his ability to achieve excellent results with minimal cost.

Jeannine Marra, 46, is very experienced in train service management. As the Customer Service director of SNCF, she has successfully improved the punctuality of the trains, and eradicated SNCF unions and hence almost all strikes that once haunted the company.

Fredrik Zimmer, 35, was the one who revolutionized Die Bahn, where he works as the chief technology officer. He was the one who introduced high speed train, the ICE, to Takasia. He has also introduced Maglev to the Airport Link between St. Takasburg and Paahaa International Airport. He has shaped Die Bahn into the forerunner of Takasian rail industry.

Mercantilist West O Company hires Takasian rail expert
Creates new "Rail Division" of the Company

DECARTES (Decartes Business Journal) - The Mercantilist West O Company today announced the hiring of Fredrik Zimmer of Die Bahn to head up its newly created Rail Division.

Zimmer is known as the person who revolutionized Die Bahn, where he worked as Chief Technology Officer. He was the one who introduced high speed train, the ICE, to Takasia. He has also introduced Maglev to the Airport Link between St. Takasburg and Paahaa International Airport.

The move comes after the West O Company expanded its operations in Arveoli acquiring an interest in the development and implementation of CGV rail technology with the New Delfos Government and Rail Arveoli (International) Limited (RAIL).

The West O Company is also the chief administrator of Merchant City, a popular tourist destination on Arveoli.

VENEZEA (Agence Takasie Presse) - After years of construction, Canal Arveoli has finally completed. Thanks to the Arveoli Development Decree, the Canal is completed on time despite delays due to Archaelogical finds and other difficulties. King Takas and Prince Ivan will hold the inauguration ceremony on Thursday simultaneously at Milanou and Venezea respectively.

The CGV rail link between Venezea and Tagshknet has also gone through its final testing phase. Inauguration ceremony will be held by Prince Ivan in Venezea on Friday morning, after which the Prince will take the maiden train to Tagshknet for his wedding ceremony preparations.

Both the King and the Prince had thanked the help of Mercantilist States, New Delfos, New History Lovers, and Tagirstan (in alphabetical order) for the help in the completion of the Canal.

The Prince was the spotlight of the event in Venezea, particularly about his marriage next Friday. He will be hosting the inauguration ceremony of the Arveoli-Tagirstan rail link (CGV Takasia) tomorrow. This is the first foreign joint-venture rail project in Takasia.

Takasia Canal A.G. is currently in talk with the Saletsian government about the proposal of a new canal. This proposed 1,000km-canal will end the current monopoly of the Xyraeli Channel, and will improve the logistics of Saletsian coasts and the region significantly.

With the current proposal, no locks will be necessary for the canal (just like the other two canals), greatly enhancing its efficiency. When completed, the canal will be the longest built by Takasian Canal A.G.

Both parties have generally agreed the construction of the canal. However, Takasia Canal A.G. is deeply concerned about the free use of the canal by all UASS members. This can be a heavy financial burden to the joint-venture. On the other hand, The Saletsian government have denied the use by LCF members, which is agreeable to the company as the canal lies in Saletsian sovereign.

We agree that Saletsia has full jurisdiction over the canal, including the right the allow and deny the usage of the canal to any nation, and the right to enforce the law of Saletsia by any means according to Saletsian laws.

We suggest that we can form a joint-venture, 50% owned by a company or the government of your nation, and 50% by Takasia Canal A.G. The joint-venture will then be in charge of the construction and operations of the canal. Takasia Canal A.G. will provide their experts and 50% of the cost.

And I believe it will not be financially sound for the joint-venture if we are not charging any UASS vessels. We suggest a subsidy from the Saletsian government to the UASS vessels is a more feasible idea.

Also, while Takasian military force will have no military presence in Saletsia and its waters, we would like to have the right of passage, with prior notice to the Saletsian government.

As the last note, we would like to name the proposed canal Canal Barga to honour your wisest decision of approving this canal.

We believe the terms are reasonable and hope you can consider carefully.

Letter from the Ministry of Environment and on behalf of the Ni Yai Wildlife Department,

We wish to express our concern over the creation of this new canal in Saletsia. If this canal were to be open, the waters of the Easteros Gulf would enter into our regional sea. This would bring exotic species into the ecological area where our fishing grounds are at, potentially upsetting the natural balance of our waters and devastate our fisheries. Will there be this chance of infiltration by foreign species?

From our experiences in the canals in Takasia, introduction of species in either direction of the canal is highly unlikely, due to the relatively shallow water and heavy traffic. However, we do not rule out the possiblility completely. We would like to invite experts from your country (subject to Saletsian government approval) to study the possible impacts to the water lives of Canal Barga.

As the construction of Canal Barga was getting closer to the nature reserves, experts are taking great care to prevent pollution. Mules were used instead of cranes, so as to minimize the footprint of the construction. "It is well-worth it," said Lars Anderssen, the CEO of Connection Saletsia, "the beauty of Saletsian nature is simply priceless." The company has also taken serious precautions not to pollute the water in the nature reserves, even when the canal gets operational. There are also special fences built to prevent animals from drinking the salt water from the canal.
