Mercantilist States Department of Commerce
The Department of Commerce is pleased to announce the opening of the territorial waters of the Mercantilist States to trade. Merchant ships will be allowed to pass freely through our waters, but no warships will be allowed without express permission from the President of the Mercantilist States. Additionally, any merchant ships carrying arms or military equipment through our waters must declare their cargo before entering our waters, and foreign ships will be subjected to random searches by the Mercantilist States Navy.
From time to time, the Department of Commerce also makes available for purchase individual uninhabited islands under our control. These islands have Dominion Status and are ideal for corporations, aspiring monarchs, or citizens fleeing opression; however sovereign nations may not purchase an island as an extension of their territory. All residents and corporations of the islands will be subjected to our national tax rate (generally around 10%), but exempt from state taxes. Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and ALL SALES ARE FINAL. If you violate the rules of Dominion Status and are expelled from your island, you will not be entitled to a refund. All payments are to be made in tallents (http://wiki.taijitu.org/index.php?title=Tallent).
Requests and inquiries can be directed to me.

Dominion Status
Dominion status designates that the territory is under the protection of the Merchant Defense Force and uses the Mercantilist States national currency, the tallent (http://wiki.taijitu.org/index.php?title=Tallent). Dominion protectorates are free to operate independently and fly their own flag, but must respect basic standards of humanity and the right to life. Additionally, if the territory under Dominion status is in sovereign Mercantilist States water, it is prohibited from having a military force and from manufacturing arms or military equipment of any kind, no exceptions.
Corporate Status
Corporations granted corporate status have exclusive distribution rights of certain products in the Mercantilist States. The Department of Commerce is not currently granting Corporate status to non-Mercantilian corporations.

To: Shauko Lengta, Director of the Mor'os Holding Company
From: Alexander Wallis, Secretary of Commerce
Greetings Mr. Lengta!
We welcome the inquiry into the purchase of our islands and the interest of the Mor'os Holding Company in the Tallent Archipelago. However, before the sale can be completed we must first ask the intended purpose of the islands. This is for both our own record keeping and to ensure that the rules of 'Dominion' status are not being violated. We must ensure this ahead of time as once the sale has been completed we will grant your company general autonomy over the islands. We await your reply.
Sincerely,
Alexander Wallis

To: Shauko Lengta
From: Alexander Wallis
Mr. Lengta,
Thank you for your request. We will sell you the islands for the purposes of extracting resources and establishing trading ports. All merchant ships are allowed to pass freely through our waters. However, we must inform you that we can not allow the islands to be used for military purposes and that foreign warships will not be allowed in our waters. We have had to turn away other interested parties for the said reasons.
Additionally, the Mercantilist States charges no import duties or tariffs of any kind, but the Mor'os Holding Company and any residents/settlers of the islands will be subjected to our national tax rate (generally around 10%).
We hope this does not cause any inconvenience. We shall release the islands to you on receipt of your payment and your merchants can begin the journey to the Mercantilist States.
Sincerely,
Alexander Wallis

We welcome Independent Records to the Mercantilist States!
Currently an island in Jazzo, located northwest of Manzano is available for T$15 billion. However, it is a rather large island and may be more than you need. There is a smaller island to the south of Manzano also available and may be better suited to your needs. We are waiting to hear back from another potential buyer who already has claimed one.
We welcome you to tour the islands, and if they don't suit your needs we can see what else is available. We look forward to hearing from you.

To: Alexander Wallis, Secretary of Commerce
From: Thomas Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive
Mr. Wallis,
IEI is interested in purchasing an island. If accepted, this island would be used to build huge factories on, making many of the products and services provided by various companies within IEI much more easily available to the people of the Mercantilist States.
I would only ask that, if an island can be allocated, it is close (in comparison to the other islands) to the coast of Dysanii, where our HQ and resources are already well established.
I hope we can come to an arrangement that will suit us both.
Sincerely,
Thomas Edwards

Subject: Re: Dominion of Mercantilist States
Greetings,
The Mercantilist States is pleased to present CAM with an exclusive offer to purchase an island in the West Ginties. Both islands are uninhabited and under the protection of the Merchant Defense Force. There are currently two Merchant fleets deployed to the area and a base in the city of Ginto, and the protection of the island will be ensured.
The island to north is cheaper, but it also sits near Varkourian trade routes. While we are unsure of your relationship with said nation, tensions between our nations are a bit high presently, and we may have a harder time ensuring its protection. Thus, we recommend the southern island north of Sugar Town.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Alexander Wallis

Greetings,
We are interested in purchasing the southern island in Newsouth for $16 billion tallents. We plan to build a number of cities that will serve as bases for a number of tourist activities, including beaches towns with active nightlife, isolated beach fronts for private ownership, mountaintop getaways, and surfing, snorkeling and hiking. We hope to turn the island into an international tourist destination.
The money will be wired from our account in the Bank of the Merchant Islands, and we request that it be named Boracai.
