Also, I have been NSing in previous guises for a very long time, and as such, OOCly, I've built up a few reasons not to trust a few people. This accounts for an in-character 'strict export policy'. If all your RPing is one-liners where your nation of 5 million has an army of 4.5 million and destroys half the world in two posts, then don't bother posting an order. However, unless you fit into this select category of godmodders, we would welcome your business. I'd also kindly request that you read the rules, and then proceed to follow them. Thank you.]

EKRAYSIAN DEFENCE SYSTEMS
Storefront and Armoury

Leaders of the globe,
Prospective buyers,

I am Chung Khai, wholly owner of Ekraysian Defence Systems. EDS was set up by the Ekraysian government in the 1970s to act as a joint storefront from under which the entire Ekraysian arms industry can operate as one. We are the sole authority from which the majority of Ekraysian military equipment can be purchased.

Ekraysia has a strict export policy and will not sell to a large assortment of nations for whatever excuse is at hand. Except to good friends of the state, DPRs will not be granted. By default, weapons of under twenty metric tons will be delivered by civilian air transport, otherwise will arrive by rail, if applicable, or by ship, for all of which escorts will be provided in Ekraysian and international territory, but no further - if a shipment is lost, there will br no reimbursement except, perhaps, to friends of the state. Friends of the state can expect discounts. Please note also that several items may not be for sale.
We also accept trading offers of other goods, and we are not commercially available for purchase as we are state-owned.

- Ekraysian Government (93%)
- Lyran Governmental Trade Department (5%)

- Khorsun
- Lamoni
- Nachmere
- Anglo-Saxon Empire (continuous supply contract)
- Zinaire
- Tutlingburg
- Satirius
- United States of Pennsylvania
- Yanitaria
- Mossat
- Dinosians

Rules


- Do your own calculations. If we have to do them for you, then...we probably won't, and if we do, we'll have you savaged by thugs. And not the good kind of thugs in those '30s gangster films either.
- EDS is directed under the Ministry of Defence and so disputes about refusal of sales can be addressed to the Prime Minister or His Majesty the King.
- We trade exclusively in USD/NSD, Gold or Ekraysian Yuan.
- You can't afford what you buy in your military budget, you either set up your own payment scheme or buy something cheaper. Check here.
- Really, read the export and variants sections of writeups and put detail into an order accordingly. If you are ignored, it's most usually because of this. Particularly, when looking for DPRs, remember that they are only available to friends of the state.
- Make an effort to make an order that is somewhat in-character. If you just come in, describe your nation as a person then buy DPRs to everything, then I shall reply likewise.

We thank you for your kind comments. We would also be happy to confirm your order of a thousand each of the Sh88 sidearm and Sh04T submachine-gun, as well as the 12-gauge compact Sh95 shotgun, at 1,022,500 Universal Standard Dollars.

Indeed, we would also look forward to working with you in the future, and thank you again for your custom.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

We are planning on designing a new standard assault rifle for the Anglo-Saxon Empire, and would like your permission to chamber it, and some of its variants in your 7x43mm, 7.7x57mm, and 9.65x21mm rounds. We would also like to request permission to build said rounds, and are happy to negotiate a price. If you are wondering why your rounds were chosen, it is due to both their great stopping power, and high ballistic coefficient. We are hoping to hear back from you soon.

Greetings to our Ekraysian friends! The Free Republic would like to purchase the DPRs for the HN-100D, and the HN-100E.

This would normally total 34,200,000,000 standard dollars, but with the "friend of the state" discount of 15%, this total would then become 29,070,000,000 standard dollars. This amount will be wired to your accounts upon confirmation of our order.

Sir and/or Madam,
We are greatly interested and appreciative of your decision to experiment with weapon designs in our 9.65mm, 7mm and 7.7mm Ekraysian calibres, presumably for your Advanced Combat Rifle program. However, I regret to inform you that, as yourselves as a whole are not friends of the state, you are ineligible for limited Domestic Production Rights to our ammunition designs. But, as some measure of compensation for this, we would be fully prepared, in bulk, to supply your military with this ammunition in batches bought, as the prices for such are now listed.
In the meantime, for your ACR program, might we interest you in our Year Type 1991 Assault/Battle Rifle, which, although not a bullpup weapon, can be chambered for both of our on-offer rifle cartridges.

Although we cannot produce any of the rounds, we would like to, have a steady supply of ammunition for our army. We would like to purchase the following amount of ammunition each year.

Thank you for your time,
General Gil Tworivers,
Commanding Officer-NAF JGHQ Force Development and Structuring Division

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

The Anglo-Saxon Empire is in need of a new IFV, and after comparing several IFVs from other nations including the Panther MICV, LY219 Armoured Multirole Tactical Vehicle, and the LY224 Sorcha HIFV; we have decided that your Sh95 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is the best option, with the LY224 Sorcha HIFV having come in a close second. We would like to request a total of 8,000 Sh95 IFVs for $6 million each, for a total cost of $48 billion.


Also we would like to comment on your 7.7x57mm round, while finding out its muzzle energy, we found that it is inferior to several other comparable rounds, including, the 7.62 NATO, and the .303 British. The reason I believe it is weaker is because of its slower muzzle velocity, which for the standard FMJ rounds could probably reach a velocity around 10-20 m/s faster, if you compare it to the .303 174 gr HP bullet.

OOC: I also must say that this is one of the best store fronts on NS, almost comparable to Lyran Arms.

[Ekraysia]

[OOC: Thank you. Mind, you should have seen my first storefront from around early 2006. I've RPed and designed alongside Lyras for several years, and I don't think anyone can really beat the quality of his products, although some, like Lamoni and Sumer, can certainly match them. I'm working on a commission for Lyras at the moment.
Well spotted on the 7.7mm; although things appear to be correct according to the ballistics calculators that Crookfur provided, it does appear to be a bit underpowered. Suitably modified, taking into account higher chamber pressures.]

Sir and/or Madam,

This morning, upon receipt of your order, I had a brief meeting this morning with our Prime Minister, as well as ministers of home affairs, foreign affairs and defence. The result of this meeting is that I regret to inform you that your order has been revoked on account of your allegiance the Brotherhood of Nod, which is a rampantly repressive and militaristic force which seeks to destabilise governments and establish 'fairness for the weak', or something like that. It is ironic then that such an alliance has supreme and unquestioned rulers, and so, as we have seen on the international stage, it is more likely that they merely want to take over for themselves, which is actually written down in their mission statement. Nevertheless, the Prime Minister is more suited to talk politics than I am. We see these ideals as a threat and we will not strengthen them. Good day.

To: Federation of Ekraysia
From: Erasmus Karynwight, Office of Foreign Affairs


The Commonwealth of Mossat politely informs the Federation of Ekraysia that its conclusions about the Brotherhood of Nod have been hastily arrived upon. The Brotherhood of Nod is not a psychotic throng of tyrannic warmongers seeking to destabilize legitimate governments, but a forum for peace and harmony: we seek only to better ourselves through joined brotherhood and to ensure that our fellow nations are given a better chance in the international community. Our only reason for keeping a military force is to ensure that no member nations of the Brotherhood are encorached upon by outside forces who would wish to see a fellow nation brought under their iron boots. Nations within the Brotherhood have the freedom to come and go as they please. The member nations of the Inner Circle of the Brotherhood have also been democratically elected to their positions by other member nations as well, and have not taken their positions through force or skulldugery. Further, the leaders of the Brotherhood of Nod are not interested in "taking over for themselves," but reach solutions through diplomatic means. Not only are such methods of oppression not tolerated by the Brotherhood, but all member nations are bound by the mission statement to oppose oppression in any and all forms. The image that you make of the Brotherhood is an inaccurate one, but as a member of a peaceful alliance which neither includes nor allows psychopathic Tiberium-worshiping cultists, I will allow your misinterpretation of the Brotherhood of Nod to be ignored.

Included within this message is a copy of the mission statement and articles of the Brotherhood of Nod. We hope that you may see that we are not the cultists that you believe us to be.

In conclusion, the order of materiel from Ekraysian Defense Systems was placed neither by the Brotherhood, nor a proxy for the Brotherhood. The Commonwelath of Mossat placed the order of materiel for the sole purpose of fortifying its own military against outside invasions, and has no intention of attacking you, your allies, or other nations for personal gain of wealth, land, resources, or other plunder. Thank you for your time.
