Edit: I have adapted the colour scheme from black to a more neutral grey, and I quite like it, but I'm eager to hear other people's thoughts.
Costa Aluria was right when he said the Dark theme can really throw your storefront off balance (from what you thought it would look in front of other people). I am experiencing that same problem with my two storefront threads myself... and so far I am still not knowledgeable enough of how to fix the problems (perhaps Costa Aluria and the other friendly experienced thread formatting players can help us both step by step haha)
Would you like to hear some friendly opinions for other things beside formatting or just strictly formatting related opinions?
If the former, I can say some stuff that are overall not really that important but can really connect the storyline of your Escari Royal Armaments fictional business with that of your nation more (in the eyes of some storytellers/writers/roleplayers). If only the latter, I would say I feel that the combination of the two images (the one below the 'Land Systems' with the one representing the 'PN-10 Zhu Yron' design) you have below your first post is a bit off... I feel that the PN-10 Zhu Yron picture is too large if compared with the grey picture above it (though this is how I feel and you can always brush me off)
Also, I would recommend against centre aligning your paragraphs (edit: the ones summarising about your designs). I don't know... it's just a bit off too (again in my opinion so you can always tell me 'whatever Yohannes, I like it that way' haha). Also, you didn't put any lines between your paragraphs (specifically the ones below)
Kolintha wrote:The PN-10 Zhu Yron is the perfect solution for a nation that needs the best in defence but can't afford highly expensive foreign vehicles, filled to the brim with experimental technology. The PN-10 is no super tank, but it promises excellent reliability and consistency in the killing of enemy vehicles, on par with modern Western designs. What's more, the PN-10 is equipped with an unmanned turret, and the tank is operated entirely from the hull. This allows for a number of positive things; firstly, the crew are isolated from the ammunition, located in the tank's bustle autoloader. Secondly, the crew is also no longer anywhere near as likely to be hit by enemy fire, and hence crew survivability is highly increased. Thirdly, in the event the turret is hit, the crew will be able to safely evacuate and the tank will be back in the fight as soon as it can be recovered and it's turret replaced.
Imperial military doctrine promotes the use of the tank as the primary killer of other tanks, and to allow the tank to compete with it's likely foes in Escar, Kolinthanese engineers implemented a 152mm gun into the design. This gives the gun unrivalled penetration on the modern battlefield, and this penetration is supported by a range of high quality optics and ammunition. While the Imperial Army only Armour Piercing Fin Stablized Discarding Sabot munitions for it's Zhu Yron's, a variety of other munitions are available too, including HEAT, conventional HE and Smoke shells. DPR for these munitions will be provided upon purchase of a PN-10.
This vehicle is available now for 5.2 Million NSD.

It is armed with a powerful 40mm autocannon, offering unrivalled infantry fire support capabilities, as well as allowing infantry to possess a powerful anti-vehicle weapon. The Zhotek will not bow to any old 30mm gun, and it also enjoys good protection against mines, thanks to specialized seating and a V-shaped hull, that spreads the force of a blast outwards, improving the survivability of both the vehicle's crew and the men it carries.
In addition, the IK-09 is armed with two highly accurate Kreokiin heavy anti-tank missiles, allowing to engage a wide array of threats even without proper armoured support, though it is recommended that buyers use their vehicles with the utmost care, making sure to involve them in proper combined arms operations. A universal fighting machine is one thing the IK-09 isn't.
If you're looking for a vehicle that will bring your troops just the right mix of FIREPOWER, PROTECTION, MOBILITY and RELIABILITY, while still remaining cost effective, look no further than the IK-09, available for a price of 3.8 Million NSD.
I am sure there would probably be some other things that I have missed (I am just skim reading lazily at the moment so don't feel like reading much haha)... though I am sure the other players regularly browsing this thread can give you other points from their opinions
Formatting wise, the friendly II Roleplay Mentor
Maltropia (who are assigned to look after the Global Economics & Trade forum) is someone who have specialised in formatting related stuff since 2012. And it is his job to support people with questions, so I would advice for you to nag him with a telegram or two
Fortunately also (just in case Maltropia is busy and you want more opinions than you can found here or from him) there are a lot of other players who are equally just as good as Maltropia - or even better in comparison to him - out there around the NationStates forums; from the Diplomacy (in game related storytelling/roleplaying) forums, Gameplay (the proper NationStates gameplay) forum and even as far as the Forum 7/F7 forum
I would say if you want to hear more opinions about the formatting of your storefront, you can contact (by telegram) the following account owners (beside Maltropia):
Crystal Spires,
Gristol-Serkonos,
Kyrusia, [edit2: fixed the name of this homeboi for u]
Liberty and Alderney,
New Azura and
Trelatche. These players are a few of the many good formatters that have dabbled in fictional business storefront making in the past (or at present)
Good luck and have fun with fantasising about your fictional Escari Royal Armaments business storyline (for your nation)
