To : Duff & Phelps Leadership
From : Chief Executive Officer Hanin Dongshin

Subject : Cease and Desist

---

Dear Sir/Madam

During a routine check upon your storefront by legal officers, as Euneng Ratings consistently checks upon competition within our respective sector of business, we have found ourselves finding your corporation's application process greatly resembling our own. Due to such similarities, we have found it necessary to protect our intellectual assets and methods of buisiness with an order of cease and desist from the use of intellectual property owned by Euneng Ratings.

If Duff & Phelps refuses or ignores this cease and desist order, Euneng Ratings will be forced to take legal action against Duff & Phelps for the unwarranted nor permitted use of Euneng Ratings' intellectual property. This civil lawsuit would be taken to an international court of commerce and Euneng Ratings hopes that whatever the decision, both parties will adhere to said court's ruling.

We thank the leadership of Duff & Phelps for its time and hope to resolve this conflict quickly and efficiently.

Dear: Mr. Dongshin
From: Ms F Verity, legal
Subject: RE: Cease and Desist

Dear Mr. Dongshin,,

Duff & Phelps must reject all cease and desist orders, on the grounds that Duff & Phelps has not violated any intellectual property owned by Euneng Ratings. Duff & Phelps has found no evidence whatsoever that Euneng Ratings in in control of intellectual property claimed to be violated by Duff & Phelps. Without clear evidence, we regret to inform Euneng Ratings that no case can be mounted - the intellectual property supposedly violated was not owned by Euneng Ratings in the first pla

This cease and desist order is unwarranted, and has no basis in law. To charge somebody over intellectual property violations, one must own said intellectual property. Furthermore, we welcome a civil hearing by an international court of commerce, and we can assure you that our lawyers are well prepared.

We thank the legal team of Euneng Ratings for its time, and hope that Euneng Ratings understands why their position is fruitless.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Fiona Verity

[Distruzio]

Official Name of Nation: The Most Serene Anarcho-Monarchist Realm of Distruzio
Head of Government His Catholic Majesty, the King of Distruzio, King of Diesel City; Royal Lord of all those pledging allegiance to the Crown; Lord of all the dependencies; Captain-General and Supreme Commander of the Royal Armed Forces; Sovereign of the freelands of Distruzio, Antonio Medici.
Chancellor of Exchequer/equivalent: Distruzio Mercello Carlini
Central Bank: none
Role of Central Bank: none
Growth/recession: As a whole, the Realm is in a constant state of economic flux. Largely industrialized, focusing on exports, Distruzio has been a font of economic growth for more than a generation now. Although there is a common currency in use (the Bezant - ฿), it is measured in international gold ounces and competes with local currencies (internationally, ฿ 1= $1.995). The Bezant is minted by the King's private mint and is held to the same market forces that inhibit widespread fiat inflation - consumers will simply not use a medium of exchange that is proven unreliable due to inflationary practices. Without a central bank, a fiat money supply, nor a prohibition on competing currencies, all economic downturns in Distruzio remain localized to the affected investors - thus avoiding all systemic collapses prevalent in many nations.

Keynesian/Monetarism: none
Planned/laissez-faire: Laissez faire
Is your nation reliant on exports for growth? increasingly

What are the surplus/deficit projections for next year?: $200,000,000,000.00
How long has there been a deficit/surplus? 3 years running
Debt to GDP ratio: There is no national debt. The King maintains all current finances out of pocket from his personal finances. He spends most of the year campaigning in all the city-states to raise funds for the Crown and the Church.

Has your nation ever defaulted: Distruzio has never maintained a debt.
If so, when and why:

Are there signs of political dissent: None. The population enjoys great local autonomy in an anarcho-monarchist regime.
Is your economy expected to continue growing: Yes.
Political party in government: N/A Distruzio is an anarcho-monarchist gov't. There is a King but he enjoys his prestige and legitimacy based upon the approval of the various city-states and the Church. Please, visit our factbook for a more intensive explanation of our Realm
Economic type: anarcho-capitalist
NSeconomy or SunsetRPG link: http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconom ... =distruzio
Banks government is with none
Short-term or long-term: Long term emergency funds. The King has no plans, per se, to take on debt as the debt would be upon his estate and he cannot transfer the costs of default onto the population. Distruzians are free of taxation and tariffs of all sort. Therefore, the King is loathe to apply for credit but understands that should desperate times come, it is best to be prepared.

Banks government is with National Bank
Short-term or long-term: Long Term

Animarnia, while fiscally strong, has illusions about the world of finance. Firstly there is no system called "Dabloom", and secondly 0% is not only impossible but undesirable. While the economy is strong enough to prevent a B ranking, Animarnia is lacking in financial prowess to the point where Duff & Phelps must award an A rating.

Official Name of Nation: Junta Free Market of Fizbar
Head of Government: General Flio
Chancellor of Exchequer/equivalent: Kroden
Central Bank: Fizbar National Bank
Role of Central Bank: Control the money supply and government lending of the national currency (bar)
Growth/recession: Growth

Keynesian/Monetarism: Monetarism
Planned/laissez-faire: Laissez-Faire
Is your nation reliant on exports for growth?: No. Most manufactured goods are sold domestically..
Is your nation reliant on imports as a commodity?: Not in general. While many raw materials (mostly metals) and non-native plants are imported, Fizbar domestically produces its oil, food and other basic commodities.
Target inflation rate: 1.8%
Actual inflation rate: 2%
Real GDP: 31 trillion
Total Government reserves: 0.8 trillion
Unemployment Rate: 2.6%

Is your nation in surplus? No.
Is your nation in deficit? Yes.
What is the value of your surplus/deficit this year (USD)? -670 billion
What are the surplus/deficit projections for next year?: +100 billion (surplus)

Debt to GDP ratio: 36%
Revenue to real GDP ratio: 20%
Expenditure to real GDP ratio: 22%

Has your nation ever defaulted: Yes.
If so, when and why: Once, 20 years ago. With oil prices falling, the government was forced to default on its debt, which resulted in severe inflation, until the central bank stepped to bring things under control.

Are there signs of political dissent: Discontent amongst many of the poor workers, who demand a minimum wage and other workers' benefits, is somewhat high, but they have little bargaining power and the heavy police forces ensure they do not get organized. In general, Fizbar is politically stable.
Is your economy expected to continue growing: Yes. The economy, which has largely moved into the secondary sector, is now expected to move to the tertiary sector. With no signs of overheating, the economy is expected to remain under control and keep growing.
Political party in government: Military Junta
Economic type: Free market.
<span>NSeconomy or SunsetRPG link: <a class="linkclass" href="http://sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=fizbar">http://sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=fizbar</a></span>
Banks government is with: None yet.
Short-term or long-term: Plan to enter long term agreements.

Fizbar has a healthy economy which is not reliant on foreign investment. Fizbar is capable of dealing with financial issues, but debt is far too high and government has very low reserves. In the event of a bailout by government, large debts would be required. As a result, Duff & Phelps rates Fizbar as AA.

Banks government is with: Reich's Central Bank.
Short-term or long-term:

Snake South Amerika has government reserves almost double the real GDP, yet revenue to real GDP is only 41:100. Something in Snake South Amerika's financial figures don't add up, and predictions of growth for three centuries are incredibly optimistic and unrealistic. Duff & Phelps rates Snake South Amerika as BB.

Official Name of Nation: The Most Serene Anarcho-Monarchist Realm of Distruzio
Head of Government His Catholic Majesty, the King of Distruzio, King of Diesel City; Royal Lord of all those pledging allegiance to the Crown; Lord of all the dependencies; Captain-General and Supreme Commander of the Royal Armed Forces; Sovereign of the freelands of Distruzio, Antonio Medici.
Chancellor of Exchequer/equivalent: Distruzio Mercello Carlini
Central Bank: none
Role of Central Bank: none
Growth/recession: As a whole, the Realm is in a constant state of economic flux. Largely industrialized, focusing on exports, Distruzio has been a font of economic growth for more than a generation now. Although there is a common currency in use (the Bezant - ฿), it is measured in international gold ounces and competes with local currencies (internationally, ฿ 1= $1.995). The Bezant is minted by the King's private mint and is held to the same market forces that inhibit widespread fiat inflation - consumers will simply not use a medium of exchange that is proven unreliable due to inflationary practices. Without a central bank, a fiat money supply, nor a prohibition on competing currencies, all economic downturns in Distruzio remain localized to the affected investors - thus avoiding all systemic collapses prevalent in many nations.

Keynesian/Monetarism: none
Planned/laissez-faire: Laissez faire
Is your nation reliant on exports for growth? increasingly
Is your nation reliant on imports as a commodity?: not necessarily
Target inflation rate: none
Actual inflation rate: none
Real GDP: $47,250,624,644,829.20
Total Government reserves: $17,122,174,856,000.00
Unemployment Rate: 2.63%

Is your nation in surplus? surplus
Is your nation in deficit? none
What is the value of your surplus/deficit this year (USD)? $170,389,510,029.20
What are the surplus/deficit projections for next year?: $200,000,000,000.00
How long has there been a deficit/surplus? 3 years running
Debt to GDP ratio: There is no national debt. The King maintains all current finances out of pocket from his personal finances. He spends most of the year campaigning in all the city-states to raise funds for the Crown and the Church.

Has your nation ever defaulted: Distruzio has never maintained a debt.
If so, when and why:

Are there signs of political dissent: None. The population enjoys great local autonomy in an anarcho-monarchist regime.
Is your economy expected to continue growing: Yes.
Political party in government: N/A Distruzio is an anarcho-monarchist gov't. There is a King but he enjoys his prestige and legitimacy based upon the approval of the various city-states and the Church. Please, visit our factbook for a more intensive explanation of our Realm
Economic type: anarcho-capitalist
<span>NSeconomy or SunsetRPG link: <a class="linkclass" href="http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=distruzio">http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=distruzio</a></span>
Banks government is with none
Short-term or long-term: Long term emergency funds. The King has no plans, per se, to take on debt as the debt would be upon his estate and he cannot transfer the costs of default onto the population. Distruzians are free of taxation and tariffs of all sort. Therefore, the King is loathe to apply for credit but understands that should desperate times come, it is best to be prepared.

Distruzio has no government in the normal sense of the word. It appears that Distruzio cannot maintain order outside of the small estate of the King. Furthermore, the Bezant is not backed against anything, and presumably barter is commonly used. And while economic downturns remain localised, so does economic growth. Distruzio has no need to take out loans, and probably no ability. And with such a fragmented economy, Distruzio can default at any time, in any place, by any representative of the local "government". Appropriately, we award Distruzio as SD rating.

Duff & Phelps cannot guarantee the accuracy of our rating, due to incorrect data. Revenue cannot possibly be 100% of GDP, and government reserves are larger than real GDP. However, economic growth is good, and we will award a [b]BBB rating.

Chancellor of Exchequer/equivalent: Minister of the Treasury Geoffry Howard in conjunction with the Board of Directors of the Anbian Sovereign Bank (A.S.B.), a holdover institution of the now defunct Imperial Government. The Board of Directors will remain in place following the restructure of the Anbian Sovereign Bank into a wholly federally administrated institution as established by the Federal Central Bank Act, as passed by the House of Councillors earlier in 2011 following the abdication of the Sovereign and the dissolution of most imperial agencies.
Central Bank: Concurrently, the Anbian Sovereign Bank and the Federal Central Bank, the former being in the process of dismantlement.
Role of Central Bank: Provides financial stability to the nations monetary markets, as well as supporting sub-national and local chartered banks.

Are there signs of political dissent: No. The government of Anbia is effectively transitioning from an imperial system of government to a more democratic form of government following the abdication of the Sovereign due to health concerns. The Crown-Prince refused to accept the crown due to personal reasons, the next several members of the imperial family were either unqualified or simply refused the Crown as well. As a result, the day before his scheduled abdication, the Sovereign granted assent to the Federal Establishment Act which effectively rendered the imperial institutions of government obsolete and transferred all authorities, privileges, rights, debts, surpluses, obligations, contracts, et cetera under the jurisdiction of the newly created Federal Congress (itself simply the same legislative body as the Imperial Parliament, simply operating under a new name. No new elections were held.). The Sovereign was permitted to retain the assets of the Imperial Estate (amounting to approximately 1.458 trillion USD in monetary assets as well as properties). The Interior Ministry will resume administration of the Imperial Estate and of all property assets following the death of the Sovereign and any remaining immediate family members. The monetary assets are the property of the Baillë family and will not be relinquished to the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of the Treasury.

After long deliberation, Duff & Phelps has chosen to rate SVS Capital Management as A+. SVS has not placed all its eggs in one basket, and has enough capital to ride through financial woes.

Sibirsky is a highly developed nation that appears to no longer need to take out loans in order to fund it's small and efficient government. Government reserves are small, but the economy looks set to continue growing, as it has done for almost 500 years. We rate it as AAA.

Describe your corporation: Phoenixwood International is a multi-trillion dollar private military conglomerate that is relied upon by numerous countries worldwide. Their mercenary employees are top of the range and some of the best in the world.

Phoenixwood International is a military corporation, controlled by the state of Fedriya, and its' capital indicates that it is "too big to fail" - that government would surely take on debts. We rate it as AAA, not because of it's financial security as an independent organisation, but because it has the backing of several governments.

Ooc: I use them as a reference point, but it doesn't matter that much. On the other hand, you know that the First Lord of the Treasury is the Prime Minister in the UK and Commonwealth countries?

Jungastia has a world-class economy, but even it is suffering slightly. Inflation is somewhat out of control, government reserves are larger than the actual GDP of the nation, and the surplus is set to shrink over the next few years. Unemployment is also what most countries would call "unacceptably" high. Duff & Phelps awards Jungastia a AAA credit rating, however, we will be forced to downgrade it to AA if the following measures are not taken by November. The Imperial Jungastian Banking Authority must raise interest rates, to lower inflation to target levels. If that action is not taken, Jungastia will have a AA credit rating. We also recomment that the Imperial Jungastian Banking Authority perform quantitive easing, and inject money into the economy to stop growth slowing.

Sometimes a nation must run a deficit in order to ensure the economy continues to grow. While monetarism is, on the whole, true, it does not help in a crisis and promotes dissent. Small pieces of Keynesian action will help the economy at the time. Luckily, -Bederich-, which is very anti-Keynes, has a very large government reserve, and is unlikely to fail. Duff & Phelps finds it difficult to believe that Bederich may find financial trouble, but we are certain that the government would not be quick to respond in such an event, perhaps leading to default. We award a AA rating.

Duff & Phelps is highly sceptical of the socialist method, especially with the large debts and the very low government reserves. Furthermore, defaulting cannot be unconstitutional, unless it is written that all steps must be taken to avoid defaulting in the Constitution. Sometimes, technical defaults benefit a nation - economically, our advice is always to take the middle path, to avoid the extremes of economic theory. We award a AA rating.
