Dear Sir/Madam of the international community,

Welcome to the first storefront of our company. My name is Richard Twatley and I am the current appointed chief executive of the foreign sales department, of Automobil Yohannes. What is Automobil Yohannes? We are an incorporated agglomeration of Yohannes' five largest domestic car manufacturers, making up nearly fifty percent shares within the Yohannesian domestic automobile manufacturing sector.

Automobil Yohannes has only one vision, and one commitment only, and that is to ensure that we do not provide you with many promises, and simply provide you with up-to-the-point information in what you will expect of our designs. We are certainly not the best - in fact, our presence are few and far in between abroad. We do not make promises: we simply deliver what we have, and showcase what we have to you, our prospective clients and distributors overseas.

Now, you may ask: why should I open an Automobil Yohannes car dealership or factory in my represented nation? Well, the answer is indeed quite a straightforward and simple one.

• Employment: AY dealerships and factories will only allow the employment of your represented government's people and citizens, thus reducing unemployment in your nation as well as further increasing the rate of productivity of your represented nation. Our currency method of trade and employment salary/wage standard is that of the Universal Standard Dollar (US$).
  
  
• Industry: AY dealerships and factories will expand the production as well as capacity of your represented nation's automobile manufacturing sector.
  
  
• Jurisdiction: AY dealerships and factories are fully included as a part of your represented government's jurisdiction, and are therefore bound by your represented nation's laws and regulation, as well as expectation.

To: Klaas von Brinkerhoff, Executive Director of Foreign Acquisition & Marketing Division
From: The New Edomite Ministry of Finance, and The New Edomite Association of Commerce

Dear Sir,

We would like first of all to thank your Conglomerate for supporting New Edomite businesses during our trying time of transition. This has improved confidence in both our government and our economic way of life.

Over the last 12 years through arrangements with the various companies we have had the good fortune to have dealings with we have made sure that our people were given sufficient training to be competitive in the 21st Century. You will find few people more dedicated to getting ahead, getting the right education and experience to be the very best in industrial grade workers in the modern world than those in the Allied States of New Edom. We have put up a number of industrial factories from The State Industries of Schultaria Prime – Designwerks, which enable us to directly produce higher quality refined metal and alloy parts, and with improved regional business dealings all necessary product parts are readily available. In addition to this, our representative to the Cornellian Peace Council has proposed improved shipping infrastructure throughout our region.

Because of this, we would like to suggest the opening of 14 new factories in New Edom. We feel that in spite of the challenges our nation is facing that we have never yet had losses of corporate clients' properties, and will gladly have all levels of cooperation with corporate security. The enormous mutual benefit in direct operation and distribution of your products from the Allied Stats will enable cost effective shipment and a larger range of clientele, as the Late Roman Empire, Gavinium Magnus, Tartarus, the Cookish States, and other nations buy from Allewserken Group.

We look forward to your reply.

sincerely,
General Adam Zelek, Minister of Finance
and

From: Sir Grant Wellington, Head of Foreign Relations Committee, Alleswerken Group
Subject: The potential of further foreign direct investment

Esteemed Minister,

I appreciate your letter of commendation in regard to the fact that Alleswerken has paved the way for multitude of employment and job positions throughout the territorial sovereignty of your represented government. The Board of Directors of Alleswerken has noted the comparatively - in comparison to the average world nation standard - high literacy of the Allied States' population, and thoroughly believe in the pursuit of prosperity and wealth distribution through the creation of jobs for everyone -- regardless of their cultures, genders, nationalities or religions.

A high literacy coupled with the introduction of the recently established stability throughout New Edom ensure the fact that our team of finance experts - led by the Fifth Earl of Whitby in his position as Group Finance Director of Alleswerken - have concluded that the further injection of our investment into New Edom would generate yet another sizeable annual return in the foreseeable years to come. It is with that consensus in mind that we humbly request for the allowance of our group of companies to expand not just steel work plants throughout New Edom, but also factories dedicated to the automobile manufacturing business of Automobil Yohannes.

Dame Eleanor White, in representation of the Yohannesische Bundesbank and in her capacity as Chairperson of Group Audit Committee, has further voiced her agreement for the extension of a nine hundred and seventy-eight billion Universal Standard Dollars low-interest loan package for the New Edomite government, in return for the agreement of your represented government to our proposal and humble request as mentioned above.

Pending the conveyance of further interests by your represented ministerial members, I would like to furthermore mention the fact that Dame Aliena Thorndon, in her position as Adviser to our Board on behalf of the Crown, has suggested for the establishment of further commercial and trade agreements between your represented government, and our group of businesses, to further enhance the productivity and seamless transfer of goods and service between the nineteen countries and the Allied States.

I await, and look forward the letter of reply of your represented government.

Cordially,

Sir Grant Wellington OGA

Subject: Your letter, and our offer

Dear Mr Norris,

Thank you for contacting us once again in the storefront of Alleswerken Group. The historical customs of your represented department and government have been noted as that of a mutually beneficial relationship - considering the succeeding positive feedback of your superior - to the previous delivery of our systems.

The Board of Directors has noted the substantial order of your represented government, and has approved for the clearance of this agreement. Sir Adolphe Lewingston, Group Chief Executive of Alleswerken, however has decided to offer an alternative form of agreement to your represented government. Noting the availability of land in the capital city of Noders for the construction of VMK Defence & Steel Works factories as well as assembly plants, Sir Lewingston shall hereby offer for the construction of our facilities and domestic production right - in relation to Noders - related systems in your capital.

This initiative will expand employment availability as well as opportunities throughout Noders, drawing its brightest young architects and engineers to our facilities and complex. In addition, and in accordance with our long-entrenched policy of corporate sustainability and responsibility, Alleswerken Group is fully prepared to abide by any existing foreign direct investment regulations as well as foreign asset-related taxation and law of your represented government.

Before we further dwell upon this possibility of fruitful relationship, however, I would like to inquire as to the opinion of your governmental advisers to this proposal of ours, and look forward to the honesty and integrity of your represented government in conveying any existing worries which it might have with our proposal.

I await, and look forward the letter of reply of your represented government.

From: Märjä Älekssünr Meärt, Minister for Commerce of the United Kingdom of Sondstead
Encryption: Low

Greetings. My name is Märjä Älekssünr Meärt, Minister for Commerce of the United Kingdom of Sondstead.

It is widely known that the Yohannesian mainland is relatively poorly endowed with natural resources, especially in terms of energy resources, and due to this it has been a long standing tenant of Yohannesian governmental policy to safeguard sources of raw materials and to be proactive in locating additional ones.

On the other hand, Sondstead has a proportionally significant endowment of natural resources, including raw materials both vital in large quantities to industrial processes such as copper, iron, and lead and those with smaller-scale, high-value and high-technology applications including niobium and tantalum, important elements in electronics and superalloys, as well as substantial energy resources.

With this in mind, on behalf of HM Government it is my pleasure to invite representatives of Alleswerken Group as the largest player in Yohannesian industry as well as representatives of the Yohannesian government to participate in trade talks in Windstrand with representatives of HM Government as well as major Sondsteadish firms in the energy, forestry, and mining sectors. Alternatively, if the Yohannesian government desired, a state visit of HIM Garnet til Alexandros could be scheduled and trade negotiations would take place within this more formal framework.

The Honourable Märjä Älekssünr Meärt, MPA

[Yohannes]

Dear investors and our families in Alleswerkern,

It is to my delight to inform each and everyone of you the fruitful recent commercial and trade relationship established by the Alleswerkern Group of Businesses with the nations of New Edom, Noders and United Gordonopia. More than an estimate of one hundred thousand employments and jobs are expected to be made available as a result of this recent development, with labour pool drawn not just from the nineteen countries itself, but also that of both the two Allied States and the Greater Dienstadi Gordonopian Empire.

Expansion of investment in Cornellia, injection of capital in the Grittonia region and further expansion of market connection in Greater Dienstad aside, it is to my further great pleasure to inform you today the new connection which Royal Beaufort - as member of our group of businesses - has made with the government of Hungry. I am sure that various entrepreneurs and enterprising individuals in Hungry's shipbuilding industry as well as its shipyards would welcome this new relationship with their Yohannesian counterpart with new vigour.

And with that, I bid you good farewells. Until next time, most honourable Sirs and Madams.

Subject: Your letter, and our reply

Dear Mr von Kuerten,

I would like to bid you a good day indeed, most honourable Sir. It is to my utter delight - in my position as Director of Foreign Relations Committee of Alleswerken, to have received your letter expressing the interest of the European Continental Alliance to procure military vehicles produced by VMK Defence AG -- one of primary members in our group of businesses.

The Board of Directors has noted the above mentioned order of your represented department, and Dame Aliena Thorndon in her capacity as Crown Adviser to the Board in matters pertaining to Foreign Sales and Export has authorised, on behalf of HM Government, the clearance required for the establishment of our contract, and the incoming delivery of your order, to be delivered to your chosen port of destination.

Sir Adolphe Lewingston, Group Chief Executive of Alleswerken, has furthermore noted the ten billion Universal Standard Dollars donation of your represented government, and would like to politely decline the aforementioned show of outstanding and most gracious benevolence. In its place, Sir Lewingston has however decided to assign me with the conveyance of the following proposal which we have in mind with your represented government. Yohannes as a nation lacked the capacity to manufacture every single parts it required for the running of its high-technology industries. Years after years, we have found it of stupendous hardship to acquire the addition of foreign governments willing to offer their represented nations' abundance of manufacturing export to keep up with the ever increasing of our high-technology and finished goods production.

In such a background have we come to you for assistance - with the humble request of a trade relationship whereby second-level manufactured goods and engineered parts are to be distributed and imported from the European Continental Alliance to Yohannes, under the strategic guidance of Alleswerken. This agreement will provide for the platform of further commercial and trade relationship in the future, beneficial to not just us and your represented business, but also the workforce and people of the European Continental Alliance. Jobs would be made, hard cash generated and goods produced from the European Continental Alliance and imported to Yohannes for the foreseeable years to come.

Before we further dwell upon this possibility of fruitful relationship, however, I would like to inquire as to the opinion of your governmental advisers to this proposal of ours, and look forward to the honesty and integrity of your represented government in conveying any existing worries which it might have with our proposal.

I await, and look forward to your reply or official statement of your represented government regarding this proposal.

To: Hon Märjä Meärt, Minister for Commerce, United Kingdom of Sondstead
From: Sir Grant Wellington, Head of Foreign Relations Committee, Alleswerken Group
Subject: Your proposal, and our offer

Esteemed Minister,

I have received your letter of interest - expressing the eagerness of the government of Sondstead to engage in further commercial agreement - with excitement on my part. As you have acknowledged well by now, the nineteen countries is poorly endowed with the availability of natural resources within its territorial sovereignty. The dissolution of the historical Crown Commonwealth Realms had further exacerbated this problem, though if one must ask, such a development was crucial to the development of democracy throughout many of Her Majesty's former Commonwealth Realms - such as Malgrave, Trivval and Yohannesian Pudu, to name but just a few.

It has been a long standing policy - under the direction and guidance of Her Majesty's Treasury, and in our position as one of the primary national import and export general trading players of the nineteen countries - of Alleswerken that Yohannes' many high-technology laboratories, part assembly plants, manufacturing sectors and factories are well supplied with their metaphorical bread and butter required daily. It has not been an easy task, I would like to admit of that fact is clear indeed, but we have at least achieved such a feat through the challenges which we must face daily within the uncertainty of this vast global economy - where pseudo-dictatorial nations rise and fall as fast as one can click their fingers, and regimes are toppled every hours in each and every part of our vast world.

Political instability begets economic uncertainty, and economic uncertainty brought the downturn of standard of living to the nations and people affected under its reach. Luckily for the nineteen countries, our policy of ideological pragmatism has ensured as so far that Alleswerken would always be ready to set aside politics in favour of commerce and trade. We are ready to establish deals with every type of nations opening their border to our goods and service, and are ready to, in turn, import their goods and service to further propel the Yohannesian economy for the foreseeable years to come.

And this is where your represented government will have to come. We have observed the prosperity and standard of living of the majority of people living in the United Kingdom of Sondstead. They are proud to be able to call, and say every day of 'Sondstead is my home' and 'Sondstead is where I will always be'. It is a prospering parliamentary democracy - one of the few torches in the midst of this world ridden by vile autocracies and dictatorial regimes. And just like Yohannes, Sondstead is a constitutional monarchy too. If political similarity was not enough, both nations have operated under more or less a similar market driven economic system, where the condition of equal opportunity has been established for both of the two nations' citizens.

The Board of Directors has unanimously accepted your proposal, honoured Minister. Sir Adolphe Lewingston, in his position as Group Chief Executive of Alleswerken, would like to furthermore guarantee the availability of twenty billion Universal Standard Dollars insuring plan for any and all businesses or companies of Sondstead origin which will involve themselves with the distribution and exportation of copper, iron, lead and most importantly various high-technology related materials essential for the daily running of our engineering sector. Before we may begin and enter into negotiation, however, I would like to humbly request the names of these businesses or companies, and the way in which we may further cooperate with these businesses and companies to ensure effectiveness of distribution upon the creation of this trade agreement.

I await, and look forward to the letter of reply of your represented government.

Dear sir,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Keith Mulcahy, and I am contacting you in my capacity as CEO of Maltropia's leading civilian shipwrights' firm, Maritime Imperial. It should be immediately apparent what are my reasons for contacting you; Yohannes is a lucrative market in which to operate, and with Maritime Imperial's operations rapidly expanding internationally we are constantly seeking new locations whence we can continue to produce and export. Not only is Yohannes well placed to serve as a base in new markets such as the region of Gholgoth; we also believe our products will be in high demand throughout the nineteen countries.

Should our request be considered, I will briefly outline what we believe makes Maritime Imperial ideally suited to operating in Yohannes. We are a leading exporter of civilian vessels, and the largest of our kind in Maltropia. We produce a wide range of ships - though most are not, at this time, available on international markets - many of which would be well suited to Yohannesian trade and other maritime activities. We maintain strict quality regulations and all our vessels are equipped with anti-piracy measures. If permitted to set up in Yohannes, we would be looking at an initial establishment of thirty shipbuilding facilities and twenty repair and maintenance locations around your coasts. This large investment of foreign capital would indubitably have a highly beneficial influence on your domestic economy, including, but not limited to, an increase in employment and demand for raw materials and improved trade with Maritime Imperial's own partners.

I hope our application is considered. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any comments or queries. Any additional information you may desire will be provided upon request. Thank you for your time.

To: Keith Mulcahy, Chief Executive Officer, Maritime Imperial
From: Sir Grant Wellington, Head of Foreign Relations Committee, Alleswerken Group
Subject: Our reply to your proposal

Dear Mr Mulcahy,

It is to my great pleasure to have received your letter of proposal this morning. Noting your capacity as ultimate negotiator on behalf of your company upon this negotiation-by-missive, in your position as the Chief Executive Officer of Maritime Imperial, I shall hereby convey the opinion and decision of the Board of Directors of Alleswerken, and our wish to further negotiate with you, and your represented business.

I have noted that your represented business is the leading shipbuilding firm in the nation of Maltropia. That is indeed fortunate for both of us, for Her Majesty the Queen of Alexandria herself - in Her Majesty's position as Group Chairwoman of Alleswerken, has confirmed the ever increasing value of trade conducted between Maltropian and Yohannesian businesses across one another's borders. It is to my believe that both VMK Defence & Steel Works and Royal Beaufort Shipwrights Guild - both primary members of our group of businesses - have contributed substantially, in terms of foreign direct investment through the establishment of factories, secondary naval construction complexes as well as precision engineering facilities, toward the Maltropian economy.

At present estimate, the Fifth Earl of Whitby in his position as Group Finance Director of Alleswerken, has conservatively estimated that our group of businesses have invested over one hundred and seventy-three billion Universal Standard Dollars toward the economy of Maltropia. Maltropian jobs have been established, Maltropian governmental taxation coffer has been filled, and its economy and manufacturing sectors have prospered resoundingly. In return, our medium-sized, family-owned businesses - under the umbrellas of both VMK and Beaufort - have prospered as a result of their interactions with the Maltropian economy and market. It is indeed a mutually beneficial relationship for both of our great nations.

The nineteen countries is indeed a lucrative, integrated market. Its prime position in north-eastern Gholgoth - amongst the neighbouring behemoths of Artitsa, Automagfreek, Drakonian Imperium, Pudu and the Scandinvans - as well as its solid economic and diplomatic links with other like-minded civilised powers - Lamoni, Lyras, Monavia, Van Luxemburg to name but just a few - has ensured the fact that Maltropian businesses would benefit immensely from their interactions as well as participation within our greater market area. Your product will certainly find itself in high demand throughout Yohannes - it was estimated that various agents of exportation and businesses with export-oriented operations throughout the nineteen countries procured and themselves imported 45% of their merchant fleet vessels from multitude of foreign naval providers and shipbuilding firms.

Whether your line of vessels are currently well-equipped to combat international piracies are neither here nor there, for Her Majesty's Commonwealth Navy has proven itself in over the last two centuries throughout the high seas. What we are looking for, however, is indeed the number of new available jobs and employment positions which the entrance of your thirty shipbuilding facilities and twenty repair and maintenance locations would surely bring to the nineteen countries. Therefore, and with the approval of Dame Aliena Thorndon, Crown Law Adviser to the Board, I have decided to confirm our acceptance of your proposal.

The Board of Directors of Alleswerken would like to furthermore request for the addition of yet another form of trade agreement between Maritime Imperial. This time, however, we would like to inquire not about the possibility of foreign direct investment in Yohannes, but instead of the possibility whereby your represented business would have within its disposal a nuclear reactor model for Royal Beaufort's Commonwealth Class, as an alternative to the present Weilmfontein AR-14D of the aforementioned carrier class. The company of Weilmfontein AG has expressed their inability to meet the current demand required by Royal Beaufort, and therefore an alternative would soon be required, and I have decided that perhaps your firm would be interested, in its present goal of further expanding upon the international market.

I await, and look forward to your letter of reply. Should there be any issues requiring further clarification, please do not hesitate to voice the aforementioned issues immediately in this storefront to me.

Cordially,

Sir Grant Wellington OGA
Head of FR Committee

Dear investors and our families in Alleswerkern,

United Investment Incorporated [UIC] - a member of our group of businesses - is proud to announce the injection of an estimated one hundred million Universal Standard Dollars by the multi-millionaires Melvin Hage of Vlissingen to the Yohannesian banking sector. Through careful investments planned for the latest VMK high-technology laboratories and precision engineering complex in Shen-Almaru Pudu as well as naval facilities in Imbrinium, steady returns would be accomplished to follow upon the company's promise of 'responsible investment' and 'regulated spending'.

Negotiations are currently on-going between representatives of Alleswerken and the Ministry for Commerce of the United Kingdom of Sondstead. The United Kingdom is a prospering parliamentary democracy - one of the few torches in the midst of this world ridden by vile autocracies and dictatorial regimes. And just like Yohannes, Sondstead is a constitutional monarchy too. We are confident that this deal will produce benefit to not just mum and dad investors throughout the nineteen countries, but also eager prospective importers and employees in the United Kingdom.

Spokesperson of Maritime Imperial - Maltropia's largest civilian shipwright firms - has meanwhile confirmed the interest of Maritime Imperial to invest in Yohannes, with the construction of Maritime Imperial shipbuilding facilities and twenty repair and maintenance locations designated throughout the nineteen countries estimated to bring about hundred of thousands new jobs in Yohannes.

And with that, I bid you good farewells. Until next time, most honourable Sirs and Madams.

Encryption: Low

The largest concern operating in the materials sector in Sondstead is Sändberg Ändwörkenfirm with operations in copper, iron, lead, nickel, niobium/tantalum, zinc, and precious metals. Other major concerns in this sector include Abrams-Esker Group (iron, rare earth elements, and uranium), Däffen Ändwörkenfirm (copper, iron, and precious metals), and Makland Tidan (iron and titanium).

In addition to export agreements related to present production, it is also my understanding that Sändberg is presently interested in developing a very large iron-titanium deposit in the Sondsteadish far north, a proposal which may be of interest to you.

From: Sir Grant Wellington, Head of Foreign Relations Committee, Alleswerken Group
Subject: Our agreement

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your letter of reply detailing the name and nature of businesses as inquired by us. Dame Eleanor White in her position as Chairperson of Group Audit Committee, is fully prepared to start negotiation with Sändberg Ändwörkenfirm, Abrams-Esker Group, Däffen Ändwörkenfirm and Makland Tidan in the hope of further detailing the way in which our businesses may better cooperate with one another to increase trade efficiency every year. Annual payments for these goods will be made in the Universal Standard Dollars currency, and will be electronically transferred from the Bank of Yohannes.

I have furthermore noted your notification of the fact that Sändberg is currently starting its development of a substantial iron-titanium deposit in the far northern region of Sondstead. I am, however, confused by that last statement - Would this be perhaps be connected to the potential of us importing materials coming from this deposit, or would this instead be a way in which we may put forward a substantial amount of capital to fund Sändberg's current project?

I humbly await your letter of reply, and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Cordially,

Sir Grant Wellington OGA

It is my understanding that the fairly remote location and significant depth of deposit has hindered proposals for exploitation as initial costs would be particularly high. Given this, a joint venture agreement or a stock offering on the Yohannesian market may potentially be on the table in a potential export deal with Alleswerken.

One General Trade
What is it • How it works • Your benefit • Our benefit

At its heart, Alleswerken is a general trading entity and the primary example of Yohannes' general trade philosophy of business. General trade means the dealing of general commerce - on one end, we supply large volumes of raw materials imported from foreign manufacturers or producers overseas, to companies, distributors and retailers throughout the nineteen countries. As an example, if a business - companies or any other form of governmental agencies - from your nation is known for its exported products, we are more than happy to buy it from you, and import your product to Yohannes. You will receive hard-earned currencies and cash to add to your foreign exchange reserve account, while the integrated, burgeoning market of Yohannes benefit from the arrival or introduction of yet another goods.

Are you interested in importing your goods or service to Yohannes? We encourage you to fill the application below!

Though communiqué or at least a letter with simple explanation is not required, they are encouraged nonetheless for the benefit of roleplaying in a more interesting and rich-environment.

Code: Select all

Name of agency/business/entity:
Nation of origin:
Which type of goods or service do you wish to sell to us, and export to Yohannes?
Any further comments or inquiries?

On the other end, and as evident by the existence of our primary eight exporting businesses, Alleswerken may act as an international sales force for Yohannes' medium and small-sized companies lacking the ability to export and market their products overseas. We deals with every possible means of commerce and trade agreement as well as connection between the nineteen countries and the many fair foreign nations throughout the seven seas. We are able to provide cash for investment in your nation through Valedonia Imperial, the Bank of Yohannes or United Investment, and we are able to invest in your nation by establishing factories, manufacturing facilities, high-technology laboratories as well as shipyards of VMK Defence & Steel Works and Royal Beaufort Shipwrights Guild.
