Ephratican War Bonds

BACK THE ATTACK! BUY WAR BONDS TODAY!

.

.

The soldier does not grudge offering his life to his country. He offers it freely, for his life may be the price of victory. But victory cannot be won without money as well as men, and your money is needed!

Unlike the soldier, the investor runs no risk. If you invest your money in War Bonds, the government of the Republic of Ephratica will pay you 150% of the bond's face value three months from the date of your purchase according to the terms inscribed on the War Bond certificate.

To purchase a war bond, please list the investor's name and amount of bonds desired (As of 12.8.19, we are limiting the purchase amount to 20,000. The investments of Eli Patton III, Milorad Milic, and Theodore Bornholdt are not affected).

The revenue from War Bonds will be used to equip the soldiers of the Army of the Ephratican Republic as they go to war against the Empire of Aruszia.

From : Mr. Theodore Bornholdt,
Manager of the International Investments Division, Harvey Gastrell & Co.
Dated : Mon., 9 Dec. 2019.
To : The Government of the Republic of Ephratica.
In re : The purchasing of Ephratican War Bonds in support of the Aruszo-Ephratican War.
Encryption: Low

To whom this may concern,

On behalf of Harvey Gastrell & Co., the International Investments Division has been authorized to acquire 50,000 war bonds at a total price of $50 million talents to support the Republic of Ephratica's war effort against the Aruszian Empire. This purchase of war bonds by Harvey Gastrell & Co. does not reflect any official opinions on the Aruszo-Ephratican War, nor does it warren any stance on supporting the Republic of Ephratica politically in the conflict.

Following the government's announcement that all bonds will be payed within three months from the purchase date and that they will be repaid at a 150% of the bond's face value, Harvey Gastrell & Co. will be sending several prepared legal documents to reaffirm these guarantees. Furthermore, as a reminder, while our company understanding the possibility of changing circumstances during wartime, any effort to deny repayment of these bonds will force a response on the basis of international law and good business.

We here at Harvey Gastrell & Co. pride ourselves on always putting our clients and shareholders first based on a relationship of mutual trust. We are glad to be working with the Republic of Ephratica and are on standby if anything further information is needed. We thank you for your time and hope that this will be the start of a mutually beneficial deal!

Sincerely,
Theodore Bornholdt, I.I.D. Manager
Harvey Gastrell & Co.

OOC: So quick question, or well... "questions."

If someone were to buy bonds, is that bought and then repaid through NSD? If my country did buy such bonds it would only be through our currency or NSD since your Talents are basically worth only the paper they're printed on in the Empire. Secondly, is there a limit to how many bonds can be bought? If we had to convert NSD/our currency into your own, how much for the (I assume) standard 1,000 Talent note?

His Serene Eminence the Archduke Patricius Regulus would like to buy whatever quantity of bonds five thousand pounds of twenty-four karat gold may purchase him.

OOC: In regards to the talent's value, it is 1.0946 talents = $1, according to this website. For the purposes of the war bonds campaign, 1 talent is 1 dollar. This will stay the same unless Ephratica has some kind of serious economic downturn and the government is forced to print more talents (in which case you'd still get the number of talents promised, but the actual value would be less than what you paid). As far as maximum amount goes, I haven't listed an official number because I didn't know how much people would buy but for the sake of scaling down future debt, I will institute a 20,000 bond limit from now on. If you purchased a single bond, it would basically be worth 500 of your Imperial Dollars according to this.I hope that explains your questions.

According to this website as of posting this, gold is worth $1,462.40 per ounce, and a pound is worth $23,398.4. Since we have instituted a 20,000 bonds purchase limit, your total number of bonds purchased is 20,000 for 0.83 pounds of gold. The people of Ephratica thank you for your support!

OOC: Thank you for answering. I don't rely on trackers or other account based stat trackers for their obviously dubious nature; although the Imperial Dollar is near that worth, it has wholly gotten that way after certain RP reasons over long periods of time. Second, 20,000 bonds is how much money exactly? I assume it's not $20,000 exactly, and if that's indeed the case then I'd like to know how much one bond is worth.

I originally intended to have my bank make a sizable investment (somewhere around 5 Billion), so if it's limited to just 20k I can't in all honesty go through with the donation. Though I could through it in alongside a listing offer.

The Kaiser, wanting nothing more but to assist a needing nation, has authorized the purchase of 20,000 bonds. He has also authorized the purchase of an additional 20,000 if the need arises.

Ehre sei dem Imperium und dem Vaterland!

The Marhaenist Federation of Nusantara and her Government believes in the support of Ephratican Republic is meaningful if ever there was a war against the Imperialist oppressor of Aruszia.

We would be happy to support the Ephratican Republic by willingly purchasing 20.000 worth of War bonds under the name of President Grace Natalie.

We hope you use it wisely.

The Series A War Bond Campaign is now officially closed! My country has sufficient funds to mount a defense against the tyrannical Aruszian Empire. On behalf of the people and Pluralate of Ephratica, I humbly thank all those who donated their money to our cause. We will not take your support for granted!

Glory to the Republic! A Free State Under God!
