Colony RP 2.0 [INVITE ONLY]

Governor Marc links to Winstons holo: "Listen, I know lives are at stake, and we are doing everything we can to prevent the NAF from fighting, but there isnt much we can do. We have pacts with both not to attack, and our military is a bit overstretched at the moment. We are attempting to re-integrate South Arlya."

Terrance by stands the situation not sure who to help as they are all still technically part of Aelia. He quickly reverts himself to the science works.

//Oh, I haven't posted in a while. Anyway...//

The colonists of the land of the new planet hereby name the land they have conquered Arstotzkia.
Its capital shall be Reykjavex.

//WOAH WOAH WAOH. ARSTOTZKA? HOW DID YOU CONQUER AN OLD CIVILIZATION. I DEMAND A RENAME HERE http://www.nationstates.net/nation=grothbord/detail=factbook/id=227151

//Arstotzkia//

//Hmmm//

Terrance smiles greatly at the recent device he wa presented. It made little to no sense but seemed useful. An object that generated a reflective energy. He tossed a piece of paper at it. The paper was instantly repelled.

The result of Operation OceanLock have been unveiled. Five heavily armed defenses line the inner sea between Beacon, Sardia and Aelia. The largest fort of all is placed on the shared territory with Beacon, and is called Fort Locke. This fort can sustain up to 10,000 soldiers on its own, but is currently staffed by only 250 each. With these fortifications in place, Aelia can easily embargo any nation they please. Aelia begins looking in to placing a toll on trading in their oceans.

Well then I guess we won't be trading with you.

\\Well, you're not going through Beacon, so your only option is the air, which is expensive, the north waters, which is expensive, the south waters which is expensive, or just pay the toll, which is really not that expensive.//

Governor Eric celebrates the cementing of Beaconian and Aelian power in the center of the world, and commences a great fair in Lookout. Meanwhile, two of the Nightounds are moved to the joint military base.

//Fiji i will pay your toll if I can get an exclusive trade deal with you. I need lumber and metals such as iron, nickel, and uranium.//

Deal.

//perfect!//

Governor Winston signs an exclusive trade deal with Sardia, agreeing to pay the Aelian toll and to pay full price in return for lumber and metals such as iron, steal, and uranium along with first pick for resources.

//well, not in return for - but rather - you're paying for the toll so that you can exclusively trade with me. That doesn't mean you get resources for free, rather, we still trade - you just get first pickings, etc.

//I forgot to put that in. I edited it//

//But what I'm trying to say is that it is free trade. You, by paying the toll, get exclusive trade rights with me - but that means it's still trading. Such as - I give you iron in exchange for glass \\or something along those lines\\//

//yep//

Governor Marc attends the Festival at lookout, where he approaches Governor Eric, "Ha! These world leaders are quite upset about our toll. We havent even put it in place yet! Maybe we can get a lump sum from them rather than go through the process of tolling everyone. What do you think?"

//Remember, this is an RP, you have no way of knowing what we are discussing.'//

//Oh i thought you already enacted that. I'll delete it//

Governor Eric responds "Perhaps. It is their choice how they wish to pay. As long as they pay. Also, how shall we be splitting the toll? I suggest 75%-25% you-me, since the majority of the ships patrolling the waters are yours." The two governors walk through the fairgrounds, their security details trailing at a distance. "Look at the wealth of our two nations! Who can challenge the riches of Aelia and the resources of Beacon?"

Laughing along with Eric, they board a plane to the new fort. "I believe we should examine the Fort Locke, and perform an opening ceremony. Ill let you do the honors. However, i know you have been very ant-military, but i am going to need your aid to staff this fort and your other fort, what was its name again? It was in the woods i believe."

A military patrol investigating a lost cargoships report the new Aelian forts. This surprises the leaders of Quark, making Terrance wonder. Why do they need all if these military centers? What are they planning? Terrance sends an ambassador to Aelia to attempt to find their intentions.

After 5 years of construction, the two Amphibious Assault Ships are commissioned. One, the PNS Portum becomes the flag ship of the Eastern Fleet located in Blue Port and the other one, the PNS Elbror, becomes the flagship of the Western Fleet in Elbror.
