Your nation's official state car.

Postby Great Karoo » Sat Apr 01, 2017 3:33 pm

Wikipedia wrote:An official state car is a car used by a government to transport its head of state or head of government in an official capacity, which may also be used occasionally to transport other members of the government or visiting dignitaries from other countries. A few countries bring their own official state car for state visits to other countries, for instance the USA, Russia and sometimes the UK. It also may serve as an automotive symbol of the head of state and their country. Part of the criteria for an official state car is to have adequate security, capability and stateliness for its duty. A limousine, executive car or sport utility vehicle is usually selected.

Ministers, MPs, Senators, et cetera usually use their own cars. Only the PM and the Governor General use official state cars, and both are also allowed to drive personal vehicles.

The government's executive budget is very liberal, allowing even the lowest of dignitaries to use the famous Isseta. They are known to have top speeds of 70 kph in a pinch. They are often armour-plated for government use.

There are two official state cars in Ventalia - the State Limousine, used by King Leon IV for official state functions, and the Ministerial Limousine, used by the First Minister. The State Limousine is a mildly armoured, 1965 Hugot XV chassis with coachwork by Alais. The Ministerial Limousine is an armoured late-model Hugot Sovereign. These two cars were built in Ventalia.

Phoenix Empress Helga has 3 vehicles: a dark blue Audi A4, a white Audi A6 and a silver Porsche 911. She always drives them herself; nobody else is allowed to touch them.

Each prefect can choose his/her own vehicle model, but it has to be a domestic brand (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Porsche, Volkswagen).

Other officials are assigned a vehicle from the imperial motor fleet. This consists of a wide variety of makes and models.

Gandoor does not have an official state car, it has long been tradition for the Prime Minister to continue using their own personal vehicle when they are Prime Minister.

In the case of the current Prime Minister, Nikolai Olanovich Semenov, he uses a 2010 Nissan Altima and a 2009 Toyota Prius as his vehicles travelling around Gandoor, although the Toyota actually belongs to his wife.

Since both vehicles are the personal property of the Prime Minister and his wife, any modifications for security purposes is paid out of their own pocket, not the government.

All qualifying government officials are provided with a choice of either a Yugo or a Trabant. The state vehicle of the Overseer is a Fiat Doblo. This may be substituted for an armoured Land-Rover in times of unrest.

The head of state and government uses a Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Guard limousine, which is armored. The black variant is usually used, while in some cases the white variant of the vehicle is used on ceremonial and visits of international leaders.

The alternative state vehicle of His Excellency and other officials, when the above vehicle is unavailable, use the white variant of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which is frequently used for military and ceremonial purposes. It is also used by His Excellency as a travelling vehicle.

the nation seems to stick to the past and this seems to attend to all aspects of the nation everything from cars to kitchen ware
the leader uses a variety of cars for different purposes but in most occasions a 1988 Lincoln town car stretch limousine does well for most occasions from hosting diplomats parades and for pleasure.

Prime Minister Schuyler Marmish uses the buses for transportation. Fatatatutian buses are usually painted purple with the word "Bus" on the side to avoid confusion.
