The Chancellery of Foreign Nations
Of the Most Serene Republic and Grand City of Delmonte

"In Bellum Pax; Per Pax Prosperitatem."

From the Desk of Ludovico Di Canossa, Chancellor of Foreign Nations,

Addressed to Biru Abate, EVP of International Expansion; Dear Sir,

I would like to approach you with an offer. The Most Serene Republic often finds that progress can be made faster through… unofficial channels than through normal means. I know the influence of your company and of yourself in your nation: It is considerable. My proposal is the following:

Intercede on our behalf with your nation’s government to help us establish an enclave off the coast of your prosperous nation. The Republic has a long established enclave/entrepot system described in detail in the attached documents: (https://www.nationstates.net/nation=del ... /id=832415)

If you can convince your government as to the reason of our proposal, your company will be granted a contract to build public transportation in every single one of our enclaves. We currently have eighteen. With the addition of yours, it would be nineteen. Think about it…

Warm Regards,
Ludovico Di Canossa

Dear Antonio Miranda

The Reigonal Transit Corporation accepts the application of Greater Alcoa for us to build and operate public transporation in your country. WE look forward to establishing a working school district bussing system in your city.

This seems as if there is a strong possibility of long-term success in Greater Alcoa between the Regional Transit Corporation, and the authorities in Greater Alcoa. It is a large, populous region, and the building of a subway and electronic bus system, while expensive, is strong. Due to the large upfront cost, we will offer a larger contract than usual. We hope for a 15 year contract with Greater Alcoa. We will have $50 million payments to our company for the first two years, to help subsidize the cost of building a brand new subway, then $6 million a year annually paid to us for the next 13 years. That timeframe will allow us to recoup our intial investment in the subway, and ensure profitability.

We look forward to working with your country.

From,

Biru Abate

[Darmen]

Application for RTC built & operated Public Transit System
Nation Name: Darmen
Name of Area applying: Municipality of New Istria
Name & Title of Project Point person(person who represents local governments in discussions with the RTC: Wamalwa Botha, Mayor of New Istria & Idowu Opeyemi, Transportation Commissioner of New Istria
Type of Area applying(city or metropolitan area): City
Population of area applying: 36,916
Systems wanted: Bus

What is the corporate tax rate?(all relevant rates that the RTC would be taxed under): Varies depending on amount of income earned and number of years which corporation has been in existence. The lowest rate is for corporations in their first year of existence, with the first $199,999 being taxed at a rate of 21.875%, or $43,749.78 in taxes. The highest rate is for corporations who have been in existence for six years or more, with all income earned above $1.5 million being taxed at a rate of 30%. A more detailed breakdown of the corporate tax rates may be made available upon request.
Are there any tax incentives for RTC?: The Municipality of New Istria will not levy from the Regional Transit Corporation any of the applicable municipal taxes.
Is healthcare public or private in your nation?(we do offer healthcare benefits to fulltime employees if it is a private system): Healthcare is public and universal, however private healthcare alternatives are available as well.
Do local laws permit required union membership of employees?: Yes
If applying for bus system, can area allow bus only lanes during peak hours?: Yes, however it is the opinion of the New Istrian Municipal Council that such lanes are unnecessary, at least at present, due to the lack of congestion in New Istria.
Is there a services tax that must be collected by the RTC? If yes, what is the rate?: No, there are no taxes levied on the usage of public transportation.
Is the RTC allowed to operate a transportation shuttle between Downtown area of urban center and their airport?: New Istria does not currently have an airport. Should one be established in the future however, the establishment of a shuttle service between downtown and the airport would be a top priority.
Is there any other relevant information that the RTC should know?: All labor unions in Darmen are required to be affiliated with the Darmen Labour Alliance, but they are not prohibited from having other affiliations so long as such affiliations do not come into conflict with the Darmen Labour Alliance. The minimum wage in Darmen is $9.68 per hour, while the retirement age is currently 66 years and 4 months, to be raised to 67 years by 1/1/2050. RTC as an employer, would be responsible for paying half of each employee's Universal Social Contribution, which is currently 1.4% of all wages/salary.

New Istria Municipal Council
No. 12 Main Street
New Istria, Darmen

To whom it may concern,

It is with great pleasure that I and my colleagues present to you our request for the Regional Transit Corporation (RTC) to establish a public transportation system for the municipality of New Istria, Darmen.

I should point out from the very beginning that we are all too well aware that New Istria, with a population of just 36,916, falls woefully short of the RTC's requirement of 1,000,000 in population for the establishment of a public busing system. However, it is the belief of myself and my colleagues in the municipal administration that should the RTC decide to take up operation of our public transportation system, it would be met by an overwhelmingly positive response from the municipality's inhabitants.

If you are not already aware, almost the entirety of New Istria's inhabitants are Banijan refugees who have sought refuge in Darmen following the unfortunate events of the war with Equestria. An RTC operated public transportation system would serve as an important link between the inhabitant's new and old home and would be a tremendous source of pride in the municipality. A preliminary study conducted by our Transportation Commissioner, Mr. Idowu Opeyemi, has concluded that some 83% of the municipality's residents would ride an RTC operated bus service on a daily basis and at least 12% would do so simply out of loyalty to the RTC even if they did not necessarily need to move about the municipality.

In our campaign for election to the municipal council, one of our party's primary campaign slogans was "Banijan Transporation for Banijans!" which expressed our desire to see your great enterprise, the RTC, establish and operate a public bus service for our newly founded community. We hope you'll join us in seeing that desire come to pass and we look forward to cooperating with you to make it happen.

Sincerely,
Wamalwa Botha, Mayor of New Istria

[Banija]

To: Wamalwa Botha, Mayor of New Istria

Mayor Botha,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your recent election as Mayor. As a proudly Banijan company, it is encouraging to see that even abroad, our communities have good enough unity with one another to allow for self-governance on a local, political level. To see this community thrive is something that makes the Regional Transit Corporation happy.

As for your request for the bussing system. As you are well aware, the New Istria population falls drastically short of our general population requirements. However, having received your studies on the potential for strength of ridership in the city limits, we believe that such an endeavor would be, indeed, a profitable undertaking. This is a community that we believe has much potential, and if we can help improve life within New Istria for many fellow Banijans, then it is indeed our civic duty to do our part.

Per our collective bargaining agreement, we will hire local workers as much as possible to operate the public transportation system. While, of course, also per our CBA, all busses will be built in Banija, and overseers, such as engineers and high level managers, will come from Banija, bus drivers and other unskilled labor will naturally come from the city. We look forward to this partnership between New Istria and the Regional Transit Corporation.

From,

Maria Kambi
Executive Vice President for International Expansion

To: Councilor Kayode & Principal Babatunde

Councilor Kayode and Principal Babatunde,

I would like to, first, commend your partnership and your ability to work together for the good of students in New Istria. Far too often, we see private and public school systems butting heads, even though they share the same goal and purpose- prepare our children for the future of tomorrow. This type of partnership is both strong and unprecedented, and we hope that it is something that could continue.

We will, absolutely, accept the joint application of New Istria Public Schools, and the Puritan Mormon School of New Istria, to establish bussing. Similar to our agreement with the city, we are committing to ensuring that locals are hired as bus drivers for the duration of this contract. We will strive to provide timely, efficient, and excellent transportation for schools. School districts will not have to worry about getting kids to schools, or to their after-school sports games, or competitions- the RTC will be able to do so for the established annual fee.

From,

Maria Kambi
Executive Vice President for International Expansion

To: New Istria Public Schools, the Darmen Labor Alliance, Puritan Mormon School of New Istria, The City of New Istria, and other interested parties

Hello,

This is to certify that a local chapter of the Transportation Workers Union, called the 'Darmen RTC United Labor Force', has been established in New Istria. This union's affiliation shall be with the Transportation Workers Union, the multiversal wide labor union for all employees of the RTC, no matter the country. The TWU is headquartered in Istria, Moravica, Banija. As required by Darmen law, the Darmen RTC United Labor Force has also registered for affiliation with the Darmen Labor Alliance.

As per our collective bargaining agreement with the Regional Transit Corporation, any employee, upon hire, will automatically become a dues-paying member of our union, with dues deducted from their paycheck. The local union, of course, will follow all relevant laws regarding membership and political activism, and will only cooperate with the TWU in non-collective bargaining agreements as local laws permit. We look forward to cooperating with the working class in Darmen.

From,

Momodou Jobe
Vice President for the Transportation Workers Union

To: Xiao Wau-Yen

The RTC would like to thank you for your application to have our company operate the subway system in Hsieh. Subways, when done right, are extremely efficient routes of public transportation for the largest cities. Since they, obviously, operate underground, you don't need to make as much space for them above ground. They're largely out of the way, and when they are well-connected and integrated within the city, you can greatly reduce traffic congestion above ground on the roads.

They can be tough, for obvious reasons- it is a system that is underground. When it slows down, the entire system can slow down. That is why it is crucial that those with expertise operate these systems. The Regional Transit Corporation has the expertise to operate all sorts of public transit system, and we will be happy to take over the subway system in your city. We look forward to working with you and your city, and getting to work immediately.

Maria Kambi

Dear Mike Corer,

The Regional Transit Corporation has, indeed, received Zarnicoa's application for our company to operate public transportation in your region. After doing some deep research into your country's economic policies, we are a company that, we believe, can thrive in Zarnicoa. A region of 21 million is indeed a big region- but the RTC does not shy away from challenges. Instead, the large population makes our company's proposition more important than ever.

With the signing of our contract, your payments to the Regional Transit Corporation will be put to good use. You will not have to worry about the stress of running an effective public transportation system. Meanwhile, you will have one that is effective for everybody- very accessible for the disabled, the elderly, and people throughout all walks of life. Furthermore, allowing us to operate shuttle services from the Airport to the Downtown is something that is often overlooked, and yet, will make it much easier for Zarnicoa to become both a business and tourism hub.

We look forward to working with you in the future.

Dear Ginetto Landeni,

We thank you for writing to us in regards to serve this specific borough. It is good governance when public officials look for an outside the box solution to solve a common problem- how to get people from Point A to Point B? This is our expertise, this is our livelihood, this is our specialty. There is no entity, government or otherwise, in the multiverse who is as good at designing and running a sustainable public transportation system as we are.

Lagomuschio, of course, has a small population- but we think this is something that can be sustainable. We will operate the minibusses as provided to us. DUe to the low population, of course, this will require a significant subsidy from the local government. For us to be able to maintain pricing at a level where ridership would be strong and consistent, and not price people out of public transportation, we would require a $3.5 million NSD annual subsidy. If your borough can agree to this, then we would be happy to do business in Lagomuschio.

We thank you to writing to the Regional Transit Corporation about this proposal. It is not a traditional one, indeed, it is a bold one. That is something that we like and respect. You and your government offer an ambitious vision for the future of public transportation in your country, and the Regional Transit Corporation, we believe, would be a perfect partner for this.

Considering this would involve the addition of an entire company that would be jointly operated by the RTC and the Grearish Union Government, and that this would probably be the RTC's biggest move in quite some time, I have decided to write to you myself directly, to show the seriousness of which we take this proposal.

Here will be our counter-proposal. We accept the division in shares- 51% ownership to the Grearish government, since this will still be a public resource, and 49% to the Regional Transit Corporation. The board of directors of this company will have 6 members appointed by your government, and four by our corporation. Per our current collective bargaining agreement, one additional appointed member will come from Transportation Workers Union affiliate that will be established in the Grearish Union. Per our union contracts, RTC busses and light rail are built, at RTC factories in Banija, by union workers. So as we start to rapidly build a system, we will work to keep to our Collective Bargaining Agreement, and ask that all new busses, or light rail, or any actual transportation vehicles are built in Banija at our factories.

This is an investment that will require a significant amount of cash up front. Generally, when the RTC strives to build a brand new transportation system, we require a major investment of funds into the project by the government. Of course, the Government has shown its commitment here. But this is a project that is likely an 11 figure NSD project, especially when we talk about building subway systems. This will provide both short and long term value, of course- it is an investment that we feel, absolutely, is worth it. But it is an investment that needs to be made. We are fortunate as a company to have a strong line of credit, and strong cash reserves. As a show of faith, we will invest $3 billion NSD into the company immediately. We will ask the Grearish government to invest $12 billion at the same time. And then, future cost and investments will be split equally according to ownership shares- 51 to 49, and revenues split the same way. We ask for a larger initial investment from the Government, as of course it would be in lieu of a cash payment directly to the RTC, which usually happens when we build new transportation systmes.

RTC Representatives and Grearish Union representatives, at the new company, will of course do the planning for what will be built and where, in close cooperation with your Ministry of Transportation. We looked forward to your response here at the RTC, and look forward to beginning work with your ministry as soon as possible.

Dear Mike Corer,

The Regional Transit Corporation has, indeed, received Zarnicoa's application for our company to operate public transportation in your region. After doing some deep research into your country's economic policies, we are a company that, we believe, can thrive in Zarnicoa. A region of 21 million is indeed a big region- but the RTC does not shy away from challenges. Instead, the large population makes our company's proposition more important than ever.

With the signing of our contract, your payments to the Regional Transit Corporation will be put to good use. You will not have to worry about the stress of running an effective public transportation system. Meanwhile, you will have one that is effective for everybody- very accessible for the disabled, the elderly, and people throughout all walks of life. Furthermore, allowing us to operate shuttle services from the Airport to the Downtown is something that is often overlooked, and yet, will make it much easier for Zarnicoa to become both a business and tourism hub.

We look forward to working with you in the future.

From,

Maria Kambi

From: City of Maralogna, Terrariosa
To: Regional Transit Corporation

Dear Regional Transit Corporation,
we would like to negotiate with you for the contract to provide services within the Lagomuschio area. This is providing a shuttle service due to the geographic nature of the region; hilly with some small narrow roads where a large bus could not fit, even though it is a large-size town, it's on the rural-urban fringe. It is a suburb of our city which has a population of 6million people - we are a large country.

These are a reverse-engineered clone of the European Ford Transit.

A fleet of 40 will be available, only offered in Onyx Black with your firm's logo on them, should you require it.

---

Our city looks forward to doing business with you; first stage of negotiations.

Dear Ginetto Landeni,

We thank you for writing to us in regards to serve this specific borough. It is good governance when public officials look for an outside the box solution to solve a common problem- how to get people from Point A to Point B? This is our expertise, this is our livelihood, this is our specialty. There is no entity, government or otherwise, in the multiverse who is as good at designing and running a sustainable public transportation system as we are.

Lagomuschio, of course, has a small population- but we think this is something that can be sustainable. We will operate the minibusses as provided to us. DUe to the low population, of course, this will require a significant subsidy from the local government. For us to be able to maintain pricing at a level where ridership would be strong and consistent, and not price people out of public transportation, we would require a $3.5 million NSD annual subsidy. If your borough can agree to this, then we would be happy to do business in Lagomuschio.

Dear Luca Luvian,

The Regional Transit Corporation has, indeed, received Pale's application for our company to operate public transportation in your region. After doing some deep research into your country's economic policies, we are a company that, we believe, can thrive in StrayaRoos. An extensive subway system is a major investment to build, probably the most expensive of public transportation options- but once it exists, it is the most space efficient way to build public transportation. It leads to the best use of city streets, for whatever the people want to use them for- walking, biking, cars, etc... while having an efficient and extensive system underground.

With the signing of our contract, your payments to the Regional Transit Corporation will be put to good use. We will, of course, require an up front investment from the City of 2/3s of the costs for building the public transportation system- it will show the City's commitment to a public transportation system that will last in your country forever.

We look forward to working with you in the future.

From,

Maria Kambi
