[Rethan]

Communication from the Imperium Nequam

Pursuant to our continued persecution at the hands of the racist Ustian Republic, the Nequam people are forced to vote NAY on the application of said Republic, for fears that they will poison this noble organisation with their racist and xenophobic agenda. Their application is nothing short of an insult to our people, and we will not tolerate such impudence and arrogance entering into the Conglomerate.

lol, jk I vote aye.

[Milograd]

A message to the Conglomerate,
from the Milogradian Federation,
regarding the application of Ustio North,

Recognizing Ustio North's resignation from The Conglomerate that was issued on February twenty first, Two Thousand and Eleven, and the series of resignations that followed said resignation, the Milogradian Office to the Conglomerate ( I ) can not help but question the motives behind the Ustian application. With that said, I cannot help but wonder what good would come from having Ustio North as a voice within the Conglomerate, given Ustio North's history with the Conglomerate.

The resignations of the Amazonian Imperial Republic, the Azuran Empire, and the Nation of Tiurabo were, as I see it, submitted in response to the resignation of Ustio North. Ustio North's resignation from The Conglomerate marked the beginning of a temporary freefall, and it was during this time that The Conglomerate lost nearly half of its member states, a loss that many thought we would never recover from. Luckily, those who walk these hallowed halls today did not walk the path of our fallen brothers; those who proudly take up the Conglomerate banner today did not give in to temptation.

The Ustians gave in to that temptation. The Ustians brought the freefall upon the Conglomerate.

I, on behalf of Milograd, vote nay on the Ustian application.

[Hun-Jagan Corporation]

Nation Name: Hun-Jagan Corporation
Leader: CEO Michael Bile, PhD
Type of Government: We prefer to call it: company. Others opine that we are, with over 5 million employees and sovereignty, more a >Corporate State<; and as we are so safe and also concerned for the private life of our beloved employees, some playfully call us a "Corporate Police State" hoho...ho-

Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: None. The employees love us! They even voluntarily relinquished their right for a union after signing some contracts and receiving a 0,12 cent pay rise per hour
Military Activities: None! Our vest is as white as our custom-made color-pattern of the hovertanks we send to some Antarctic dictatorship.
Strata of Command: Top command: CEO > Council of directors > Final Decision> Delegation of some military actions to the External-Affairs Management and the Director for Warfare and Customer Satisfaction. Partial veto-right for the Board of founders (6 family members). the best fail-safe: wage cuts and our professional merce... security guards.
Military Focus: Primary Focus: Orbital control by advanced battle-satellites and ground espionage by infiltration/ cyberwarfare. We have several Surgical Strike and Assassination&Sabotage doctrines. At the moment our detectives train selected employees in the art of psychological warfare- we can turn the population against their own leader! Failsafe: Our finest products: Hovertanks, Robotic Units and enthusiastic employees with K78 rifles (we currently sell them at a 50% discount!). We have a massive security network and efficiency is our dictum.

Economic Situation: Doing splendid, sir. Can I interest you for our newest hovertank sale? 5,991 satisfied customers since 2041!
Currency Rate, per International Dollar: Standard Dollar. approximately the same as the NSD.
Hand, or Voice: Voice

Representative: Iro Yamataki, PhD, Director of Global Collaboration

Studied Mathematics, BSc at the Kyoto University in Japan (Valedictorian), worked for McFrinday Consultants for 5 years as a Junior Partner, MSc in Quantitative Finance and Sociology, PhD studies in Quantitative Economics focused on global politics at Stanford University. Employed by Hun-Jagan as a Junior Associate, later Junior Manager, Partner, Associate Director, Head of Police and Additives in water Supplies, Director of Global Collaboration.

To whom it may concern,
I see that our hovertanks impressed your evaluators. It is indeed difficult to believe that our products are so progressed, even near-futuristic, compared with the unloved products of our communistic competitors. Maybe the fact that we also include robotic units in order to keep our employees ...safe baffled you. Yet I can becalm you: we did not use extraterrestrial prisoners or time machines! Those are the finest of our products and are therefore expensive to produce- rare (and used for internal security).

OOC: I am postmodern/pre-futuristic. Nothing too heavy, really. I might even consider to re-organize my army. Robot-technology is already quite advanced, though.

What you mean to say is you're a late PMT nation. Typically the divide between that and FT is that FT has Faster than Light technology while late PMT doesn't.

[OOC]

To be truthful, hovertanks really belong in the realm of FT, unless they happen to be made from Hovercraft, which is a terrible idea technologically. The same does go for some of the stuff I can see in your factbook, really.

Nay from me to Karmaimps and Hun-Jagan, due to lack of OOC and IC contact. Although I don't think Deus should be allowed in (hence my 'nay'), I think it's about time we either accepted or declined it, as nobody else seems to be voting either way.

I also motion to disband the ability to abstain on a vote, and move to make all future 'abstains' count as nays. Can I have a second?
