The Shroomanian Sea Shipping Company has been overwhelmed by orders of FCSs and ACVs.
"The Shinrans want three, the Cannissians want ten, and lord knows how many the Nukistanis want for their missiles!" exclaimed the Boss Man as his premature balding got worse. He bit on his cigar.
"Sir!"
"What?"
"Our company's done work in other FUNGAL nations, maybe we can get them to build some for us? I mean, they're all small nations, but there are a LOT of them! The Prime Minister's been collecting AXIS nations like Pokemons."
"Goddamn! You're right!" smoke spewed out of the Boss Man's nostril. "And now, those guys can actually get productive! Though... having them build FCS boats might be alright... those boats are conventional. But those ACVs have some high-tech on them..."
"Man...oh man..."
"You're right! We've gotta start busting balls to make some money! Come on, we've got phone calls to make!"
[Filling out this sudden explosion of orders is gonna take the joint effort of all the FUNGAL AXIS nations! We're gonna be rich!]

We reccomend that other FUNGAL AXIS nations concentrate on the production of hulls, leaving Shroomanian, Pezookian, and Baernish shipyards avaliable for both complete ACV construction and the installation of ACV systems on FUNGAL-built hulls. Sort of a floating assembly line.

OOC: What do you call a person who lives in Shinra?
We're gonna either have to start licensing them, or breaking balls and start getting the rest of the FUNGAL AXIS on the act. Thank goodness I mentioned that Shroomania's been boosting the other countries' economies and infrastructure and such. They're probably up for the task and they want work! And outrageous fees!
I'm gonna have to start posting MOAR pictures of half-naked village people construction workers!
No worry, if the ACV is part of PeZook's International Agency Thing, then we'll ALL be making ACVs and FCSs and we're ALL gonna be rich! Rich! RICH!

King Arik Coyotus-I rolled out of bed, making sure not to disturb the Sweet Young Thing who was still snoozing.
Ahh, shit, the body paint got all over the sheets, he noticed. And the girl looked like she'd been dipped in bucket of rainbow paint. That's actually kind of cool, he thought as he picked up his still have-drank White Russian and stumbled out into the front room of the suite.
The full moon beamed its dull glow into the large bay windows of the hotel suite. It was a pleasant evening, so Arik stepped through the French doors --do they call them 'French' doors here?-- and out into the cool night air.
At 3 AM, there was almost no traffic noise. It was cool, still, and the sea breeze was wonderful God, it reminds me of that time me and Sarit lived just a couple blocks from the Mediterranean... Thinking of his old girlfriend filled Arik with memories, good ones, from what was, up until recently, some of the best times in his life.
"Ahh, your most imperial exalted most highness, enjoying the night air, I see," a male voice interrupted his reverie.
Arik wheeled around to see--
"Holy shit! John deLancie!"
"I'm not John deLancie," he said, "I'm Q. The one who brought you here."
"Well, you look just like--"
"Of course I do, that's the point. It's more appros pos to say that John deLancie looks like me."
Arik looed at him, appraising the idea in his mind. Finally, he took a sip of his White Russian.
"That's just not making sense," he said.
"Unimportant," Q said, "Your kind always did have a penchant for miscomprehension."
"Dude, fucking Captain Picard ran rings around you," Arik said, reaching for a cigar in his bathrobe pocket. "I'd not be gettin' too squirrely about who's smarter than who." He lit the cigar and puffed a cloud of toxins away from John de- from Q. "Now, I have to ask," Arik asked, looking at Q in his Star Trek uniform, "Does your existence mean that Star Trek is, indeed, our future? Or rather, Earth's future? 'Cause I think I'd rather have Cylons. Or Aliens."
"It is a potential future," Q said, "And let's face it, if certain elements have their way, Star Trek is the best you can hope for."
Arik nodded silently at his decision to leave Earth.
"Alright," he said, "so what do you want?"
"To sate my curiosity," Q said, "Look at you all-- at one anothers' throats within seconds. Most of you, anyway," he said, and with a snap of his fingers he changed his appearance-- the Star Trek uniform was gone, replaced by a copy of the uniform that George C. Scott wore in his famous portrayal of General Patton during the "flag speech" scene.
"Most of your compatriots went right for the hard kill, unable to resist that urge for blood and death... even though most of you got along just fine on that web board. What an amazing collection of personalities-- the conflicting belligerence of your species with the high-minded concepts of peace..."
"Did you come here to annoy me?" Arik asked.
"Well, I was wondering why you, and a few others, took the opposite point of view and tried to build bridges instead of try knocking people around first."
"I've seen war before. It's a thrill, to be sure, but the stakes are high and booze, beaches and babes are a superior alternative."
"So, one set of base instincts replaced by another. Are you nothing more than a collection of animals that alternates between murder and rutting?"
"You say that like there's a better way," Arik said. "Look, I really don't know or care why you have such a hard-on for fucking with the human race. You need a hobby in a bad way. Get out and meet some girls. You should quit labeling others. It's rude. You're racist."
"Oh, righteous indignation! I point out that the hill you're a king of is a pile of shit, and you get your hackles up!"
Arik looked at him. Finally, he shook his head and went back to looking at the sea. The whitecaps, far out, reflected the moonlight in such a way as to make them luminous.
"No commentary?" the annoying being asked.
"Why?" Arik responded, bored.
"To defend your point of view, of course. Convince me of the rightness of your point of view, by force if necessary. It's what you do, right?"
Arik shrugged, and drank the last of his White Russian.
"Assume for the sake of argument I have done that; you have engaged in witty counter-repartee, and we are now done. Okee dokee? Byedee-bye?"
"You bore me," Q said. He leaned forward, and briefly his features warped into a near-semblance of Arnold Schwarzenegger's. "I'll be back," he said.
"Don't let the dimension hit ya in the ass on the way out."

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Vulpesia also agrees to join the JSEZ. Lord Montgomery states, "We hope to joining this coliation of nations for peaceful and Scientific studies of the heavens and hopefully explore new sources of energy and materials in our solar system."
Lord Montgomery as he was saying his speech remembered a concept for electricity generation where satellites would collect solar energy and then beam it back to earth using microwaves to a reciver and then generate electricity from it. He hoped that someone would come up with it and maybe if it ever did that Vulpesia would use it to gather larger quantities of energy for their nation.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

At this point in time, all the Duchy of Langley can do to help out the Blackbeard program is to shoulder some of the responsibility for development and construction. The DoD would also appreciate a tentative price guide to see if Blackbeard batteries fall within its acceptable price range.MKSheppard wrote:What can you contribute to the program?

Army Strike Ends
Top Officials at the Ministry of Defense today confirmed that minor revolts throughout the Wilkonian Army have finally ended without bloodshed after intervention by several members of parliament and a personal intervention by the king. The exact nature of the deal struck has not yet been fully revealed but several sources have already indicated that the Committee for Imperial Defense will be completely replaced as part ofexpected overhauls. At least one member, Lord Rayburn Duke of Fulton has already offered his resignation to the King and has reportedly already left Columbia for his family estate int he hillsides of Fulton District. Several other members have been in repeated meetings with His Majesty over the matter though no member of the committe was present for the auience which represenatatives of the striking troops were given with the King. So far the only information to have leaked from this audience was acommittment to utilizing sales of decommisioned naval vessels to raise pay and housing standards for Army and Air Force troops.
Initial FY09 Budget draft shows noticeable shift in funding
Initial drafts of the Fy09 budget which are still being prepared in sub-committe show a drastic increase in funds for base reconstruciton and trianing funds for both the Army and Air Force. Naval funds, for the first time in nearly two decades, are completely stagnant againt previous years. Count Geoffrey Rosrach the Undersecretary of the Navy for procurement has been quoted as saying "Our nation must remain committed to maintaining a healthy naval shipbuilding contigent thereofre we continue to plan shipbuilding scheduels so as to fully man 3 active and 1 refit battle group with a 20 year life-cylce. However, future committments for surface and sub-surface combatants have been curtailed to the lowest level we determined as safe to maintina helathy competition amongst Jessup Naval Shipbuilding and Fulton Fleet Systems." Seperately the minister was quoted as saying that the department would seek to sell its increasing stock of decmmissioned vessels. While most have at least 20 years of service life the cruisers in paticular are seen as viable commodities as they remain state of the art and have only been phased out as the navy has moved to begin operating an exclusively nuclear cruiser and carrier force.
/OOC Everything in my current OOB listed as decommed and within the next 3 FYs all of my conventional cruisers will be going on the sale block for anyone looking to purchase some slightly used 2nd Gen Ticoderogas.
Jessup Naval Shipbuilding Finishes Keel For Monster LNG transport
Jessup Naval Shipyards, world leaders in civilain and military naval technology have announced completion of the keel for the world's first LNG carrier with more than 250,000m^3 in carrying capacity. This behemoth vessel has been purchased to haul the ever increasing supply of LNG being recovered off the Mariottsville coast. As Wilkonia in general has moved oil and natural gas exploration offshore in the last several years the availablesupply has increased far beyond the slower growing demands of the domestic economy and has provided a boon to both the state run Wilkonia Petroleum and the public PPW and BENERGY companies.

While most have at least 20 years of service life the cruisers in paticular are seen as viable commodities as they remain state of the art and have only been phased out as the navy has moved to begin operating an exclusively nuclear cruiser and carrier force.

Jessup Naval Shipbuilding Finishes Keel For Monster LNG transport
Jessup Naval Shipyards, world leaders in civilain and military naval technology have announced completion of the keel for the world's first LNG carrier with more than 250,000m^3 in carrying capacity. This behemoth vessel has been purchased to haul the ever increasing supply of LNG being recovered off the Mariottsville coast. As Wilkonia in general has moved oil and natural gas exploration offshore in the last several years the availablesupply has increased far beyond the slower growing demands of the domestic economy and has provided a boon to both the state run Wilkonia Petroleum and the public PPW and BENERGY companies.

We are immensely pleased upon hearing these news from Wilkonia; we acknowledge the difficulties of downsizing naval expenses within a short term, and officially state that Wilkonia's threat level to the regional aquatoria has been diminished, if not to say nigh eliminated.

Very good! Agreed to that; embassies will be opened as soon as you give me a building (@ meaning tomorrow). Also, I would like to inform you that there's a Red Telephone line between me and RogueIce, and you could use Red Phone too in case of conflict [PMs are used for communiques, Red Phone, and other stuff; if a call is to be made public, this thread could be used]

In contrast, the Republic of Shepnukistan offers extremely favorable financing for any one of the Blackbeard systems (Slow/Fast); meaning that you can walk away for a complete battery system for about $10~ million.phongn wrote:Joint Common Antiship Missile

The People's Republic of Canissia would like to discuss liscence-building rights to the Automated Commerce Vessel program.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Open Skies program
In order to promote openness and transparency of military forces and activities, Tian Xia wishes to create an Open Skies Program. Program members may make pre-announced unarmed surveillance flights over the entire territory of any participants. Observation craft may be provided by either the observing Party of the observed Party at the former's choice. All sensors used must be commercially available to all program participants. Image resolution cannot be finer than 12 inches. Any data collected is available to all program participants. Observation flights may only be restricted for reasons of flight safety.
Making publically available the TLE of a satellite constitutes a pre-announcement of surveillance.

Fulton Commercial Services Yard announces new line of 8,000 TEU container vessels
Seeking to re-assert its once dominant position in international naval shipbuilding and following in the wake of Jessup Naval Shipyard's new LNG carrier Fulton Commercial Services Yard announces the launch of this world's first line of 8,000 TEU container vessels. With a cpacity unmatched by any other deepwater vessel this vessel can operate with a crew of less than a dozen, though room exists for as many as twenty five. Easy to operate and massive in its capacity the company forsees a rapidly increasing market. "It truly has been a boom time for us," Fulton Sea Group (parent company of FCSY) president Sir Arthur George stated. "With years of experience in helping to build the WIN's fleet we have been able to invest in a whole slew of new deep dock assembly facilities which give us anamazing capacity. We've certainly had to import sore material than we would like and prices for the fuel are no certainty on this end of the world but we still feel the amazing capacity and efficiency of this ship will be worth the price to buyers." In addition to this newest line FCSY also manufactures a host of smaller RO/RO and sub 3,000TEU container vessels.
