New Regional Trading Thread?

GeneralTacticus · May 22, 2003, 03:34

I notice that we've tried setting up trading threads twice before... the first time, it petered out after a while, and the second time, it died after a week or so. Is there any interest in setting up a new one?

Mr. President · May 22, 2003, 03:36

Sounds okay.

Whaleboy · May 22, 2003, 04:45

Seems like a great idea! Count us in!

What you wanna trade?

GeneralTacticus · May 22, 2003, 04:49

Well, Centralis mainly specializes in Book Publishing, agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and high-quality manufactures; Ferrozoica (a Centralian colony to the south) mainly produces Information Technology and weapons; Greater Chimerica exports minerals and automobiles; and Capitalstan specilizes in automobiles and armaments (which I believe you expressed an itnerest in before). Any of those interest you?

Urban Ranger · May 25, 2003, 06:15

We have some high tech stuff, particularly in materials, biochemistry and medicine. We also have unique produces that can only be found in our lush rainforests.

Whaleboy · May 25, 2003, 09:05

We are currently in need of some decent computing hardware. Our industry is suffering a recession due to money lost on the possibility of computers in porta-loos *cough*M$*cough*.

In return, we can ship you our OSS interpreted operating system, BenJahNix, as well as any of our "produce" you require. Our cheese industry is also producing some increasingly interesting varieties, which your nation may wish to sample. Alternatively, we could just pay you with money like normal people

One of Jackson leading industries is Uranium mining, so if anyone wants uranium and is not a national security threat to Jackson and promise to use the Uranium in a peacefull way and let our inspects make sure of this we will sell the Uraniumt to that nation.

One of Alecrast's primary products is IT, both Hardware and Software. While we're not interested in the OS, we are most certainly interested in cash.

Whaleboy · May 26, 2003, 08:56

"we are most certainly interested in cash"

Then we have an agreement

GeneralTacticus · May 26, 2003, 09:24

Hmmm... would Marijuania be interested in purchasing anything from Ferrozoica? Their IT sector isn't as large as Alecrast's, but it could provide you with the services you require.

Space05us · May 27, 2003, 05:52

Yangtze may not have much to trade as far as material goods goes, but we have labs set up in our jungles where your scientists can do...how should we put it...unpopular research without being disturbed.

We do have a small diamond mine as well. any of your companies interested in diamonds?

The Unfied States of Sheepsta has declared that it will not enter this eonomic regionalistaion as it breaks down Sheepstan self sufficency.

The government announced that the practice was un socialistic and went against the nation's social democratic ideals.

Urban Ranger · May 28, 2003, 23:07

Noosland is pleased to announce that we are capable of manufacturing a new generation of high performance solar-electric panels with an efficiency rating at 40% for exporting. These panels will first be installed on the space station to replace the older panels.

Archaic · May 28, 2003, 23:42

Alecrast would be most interested in those solar panels. We're looking to move away from the various nuclear technologies due to the risk of them being struck in potential attacks from our east, and so we might be able to reduce our use of Uranium, which is now in smaller supply without North and South Sheepsta providing them to us. These solar panels would work very well in the great wasteland deserts from the previous strikes, and while fragile and easily destroyed in the event of other attacks, aren't going to leave lasting environmental damage either.

Whaleboy · May 29, 2003, 09:31

We would also be interested in purchasing these solar panels for use on various space-vehicles, as well as other uses.

"would Marijuania be interested in purchasing anything from Ferrozoica? Their IT sector isn't as large as Alecrast's, but it could provide you with the services you require"

We require silicon, a product relatively scarce in Marijuania. Our labs are working on a crystalline data storage system, for which we require this chemical, if you have it?

While we're somewhat surprised that you would actually need to import it, given that's it's one of the most common minerals around... we can supply you with as much as you require, as probably could most other nations.

Urban Ranger · May 30, 2003, 07:17

Caught by an expected surge in demand, Noosland promises to expand its manufacturing facilities to fulfill all back orders within 3 months.

Whaleboy · May 30, 2003, 19:48

"given that's it's one of the most common minerals around"

Its a hassle constantly extracting it from rocks. Itd be quicker for us to import it.

GeneralTacticus · May 30, 2003, 20:56

Well, you're welcome to do so. How much do you need?

Not rocks. Sand.

Mr. President · May 31, 2003, 03:56

Marijuania has all those lovely beaches! It could be the head of the regional silicon cartel!

Mr. President · May 31, 2003, 03:58

Seriously though.

I usually RPed that Karakas is a manufacturer of small arms, but it's not on my NationStates description any more.

It does have a book publishing industry, though. Go book publishing!

GeneralTacticus · May 31, 2003, 03:59

Just because an industry isn't on the nation description doesn't mean it doesn't exist - Capitalstan has never had an arms industry on the description, but it's #2 in the region. Same for both Capitalstan and Greater Chimerica in a lot of other areas, too.

Mr. President · May 31, 2003, 04:30

I see.

Sheep · June 6, 2003, 06:00

The Armed Republic of Sheepsta will like to announce that it has sold its first nuclear warhead. The Buyer a Mr. Laden is very pleased with hsi new toy.

There are nine left in the sellable stoickpile left to go.

Sheep · June 6, 2003, 06:02

To futher the incentives a buy one get one free nuke deal will be on for the next 25 hours. 25 hours is how long Sheepsta now recognises the day to be.
