PEOPLE'S FEDERATION OF PAN-ASIATIC STATES
General Business and Economic Zone Clearance Thread
About
This storefront sanctions the activity of for-profit foreign companies within the Pan-Asiatic States' state-socialist economy. While this thread nominally welcomes any form of trade or business proposal (meaning you are free to post any trade-related interactions with the Pan-Asiatic States on this thread); because the People's Federation is strict about who sells what in the Pan-Asiatic States, if you want to sell most products or services to the Pan-Asiatic States, you'll have to do it with the approval of the Pan-Asiatic Economic Zone Authority - which is where the forms attached to this opening post come into play.
Basically, you can think of this as the GE&T equivalent of an embassy program, but with companies instead of nations. Once your liaison has been approved, and depending on the circumstances of that liaison, your company becomes part of the Pan-Asiatic States' lore. Your products or services could affect the national economy of the Pan-Asiatic States, and by extension, its destiny. Also, they could be featured in future RPs involving the Pan-Asiatic States (e.g. if you have been approved to operate a soda vending company, maybe a character from a future RP will buy one and drink it).

How to Use This Storefront
Economic zones in the Pan-Asiatic States are one of the key features of the unique state-socialist developments under the Pan-Asiatic States' current mode of economy. In simple words, the Pan-Asiatic States may have abolished corporal competition within the country, but it must compete with the world market to gain access to foreign resources and sell surplus commodities. The foreign sector maintains the inflow and outflow that ensures the sustainability of the federal economy.
The Pan-Asiatic Economic Zone Authority encourages foreign investment in designate commercial areas of the Pan-Asiatic States, where the foreign sector can enjoy tax-cut incentives and near-zero tariffs. Through the Authority, the Pan-Asiatic government can more visibly regulate corporate movements, can better fix the overall size of the non-government business sector, and can better track their respective transactions - all the while giving some Asians access to foreign goods and services.
All foreign businesses, in accordance with federal law, must hire an economic inspector from the Asian Communist Party (ACP), who will audit, but not interfere with, transactions made within the country. This is simply a countermeasure to ensure no black market interaction, illegal siphoning, or political lobbying is made by foreign companies. There must also be one representative from the company who will actually live and work in the Pan-Asiatic States for the company in the same city as the regional office.
To start, select a category of business under which your company falls, and fill-out the designated form. Submit it as a post in this thread and wait for it to be either rejected or approved.

Forms
Note that not all kinds of economic liaison are put into the hands of foreign investors. The Authority will deny applying companies wanting representation within the utility, medical, and housing sector; among other fields deemed vital by the State Development and Planning Commission, which State-Companies of the People's Federation hold an exclusive socialist monopoly on.
Something Else In Mind?
Have any other proposals for economic liaisons? The Pan-Asiatic States welcomes a wide variety of economic engagements with other countries, and unique liaison proposals are definitely welcome on this thread! Simply send in an official communique with your nation's name, the name of your organization, the organization's leader, the name of your company representative, and details regarding your proposed liaison.
Do keep in mind however that, as stated above, not all liaisons are eligible, especially if they go against one of the Pan-Asiatic States' exclusive monopolies. Generally speaking, the less that what you're offering is a necessity, the less likely it is to be rejected. Economic liaisons between socialist countries and capitalist countries are usually trades for commodities inaccessible to the socialist one. So, if you're bold enough, give it a shot, and the Authority will review your proposal.
