Special Economic Trade Zone Agreement (SETZA)

[Chuying]

Making logos turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. Photoshop likes to crash without warning and ruin all your saved work.

Oof. Maybe Armoria could work, though uploading all our flags could be hard.

It's fine, I just might take a while to make a good logo. But I don't think it's super important, it's just fun to have one if we're gonna use SETZA as an economic bloc.

OOC: I have made a logo for SETZA, however I don't think it's my best work. If we still want one though, we can use this until I can actually make a good one and have more time on my hands.

Do what you want with it, I'm not very good at designs beyond simple editing yet.

Holy shit that's cool, thanks.

Signup here Section 1. Territorial Grant
The Host Nations in this agreement shall grant at least seven portions of territory to establish Specialized Economic Zones including trading areas and manufacturing centers, to be leased in perpetuity to the Foreign Consumer Nations of this contract.

Section 2. Specialized Economic Zones
Establishes the Specialized Economic Zones as being defined as areas of optimal territory provided by the Host Nation in which tax incentives are implemented to the trade companies and governments of Foreign Consumer Nations and less stringent environmental regulations are present. The stated operations occurring within Specialized Economic Zones include (but are not limited to):
a) Trading ports and sites
b) Manufacturing plants and factories
c) Mining and Harvesting sites

Section 3. Refraining From Unlawful Interference
Both the Host Nations and the Foreign Consumer Nations shall commit to respecting the control and management of the specialized economic zone, the autonomy of the Specialized Economic Zone, and shall refrain from interfering in the operations of manufacturing and trade zones.

Section 4. Generation of Revenue for Host Nation
The foreign governments operating in the specialized economic zone must set aside 10% of all revenues generated within the specialized economic zone to the host government annually.

Section 5. Reduction of Economic Barriers
The Host and Foreign Consumer shall henceforth agree to remove taxes on trade, import quotas and tariffs, and restrictive regulation, and to provide subsidies to the industries of Foreign Consumer Nations in order to stimulate maximum productivity and enable a surplus. Further, Foreign Consumer Nations are free to pay a higher-than-domestically-expected wage to workers who are citizens of the Host Nation.

Section 6. Defense
In the event of war, terrorism or natural disaster, the Foreign Consumer Nation and the Host Nation may request for assistance in the form of military forces or humanitarian relief, as deemed necessary by the government of Host Nation. Militarized trading corporations such as Corrington’s M.M.T.C. are legally permitted to conduct both defense and business through this agreement.

Section 7. Reserve Currency
Establishes the Corrish Pound, the South Americanastanian Americana and potentially other currencies of Foreign Consumer Nations as reserve currencies stored in significant quantities by the Foreign Consumer Nations and the Host Nations in order to make transactions more fluent and efficient. The currencies of Foreign Consumer Nations are chosen because they are generally of higher value than the currencies of the developing Host Nations.

Section 8. Collateral
Foreign Consumer Nations may request collateral financial assets of one another in order to secure and reinforce their commitment to SETZA.

Section 9. Denial of Applications
Corrington, South Americanastan and Foreign Consumer Nations have the power to deny the applications of nations on any basis, as they reserve the right to choose with which countries they shall conduct business. They must confirm every signing applicant before business may be conducted.

Corrington, South Americanastan and additional Foreign Consumer Nations and the Host Nation may implement further protocols which may revise or improve the terms of this agreement.

You do know that SETZA is a trade deal, and not an organization, right? Also, you are also increasing tensions based by your attitude.

You cannot just barge in here, get in a fight with one of the founding hosts, attempt to tie us into outside politics with your whining, and expect to be treated nicely. REJECTED

My company's name is the Southeast Marajarbian Trade Corporation (SMTC), which sells a variety of IDSF manufactured goods, including civil robotics to replace the sick and injured in factories, mines, and other dangerous locations. The robots can also be used in homes.
