As per our optional defense treaty with the Germanic Union, which represents the interest of the Germanic people anywhere, the Republic of Transvaal hereby declares war on the violent oppressive terrorist group that has been occupying Denmark

There is no need to mark individual bases as anything other than part of ones nation. Starting to label individual locations on the map is silly, especially since we don't label cities or geographical features anyway.

*** Republic of Transvaal Diplomatic Communication *** To Kerala Varma, Let me first begin by making it clear that the war waged by Greater Pacifica and the Kingdom of Cochin was entirely unethical, illegitimate and will permanently stain the history of both Pacifica and Cochin. Let me also make it clear that the war waged against Tahoe by the aggressive Pacific Allies did not destroy Tahoe. The Tahoe Republic had been rotting on the inside for years, one only needs to look at the dramatic political polarization, political violence and breakdown of government institutions, coupled with a total lack of trust in the government by the populace. The Pacific War only catalyzed the long standing domestic instabilities and led to widespread violence, revolution and utter despair. The more than one million Tahoans who fled, mostly to Germany and Transvaal can no longer call themselves Tahoan due to the shame in the dark days that led to the end of our former homeland. That all said, Tahoe is dead and will never return. I am the Chairman of the National Front of Transvaal, leader of provisional government and wholly Transvaler now. All citizens of Transvaal, no matter their national origin, feel the same way. On to business. A critical failing of the government of the first Republic of Transvaal, under the Staatspresident, was its isolationist foreign policy. However, a highly interventionist policy will not be taking its place. Transvaal knows its place in the world is precarious and foreign adventures will only exacerbate domestic instability at home: a key factor in the destruction of Tahoe. I would like to agree to a treaty with the Kingdom of Cochin, but before I answer, there are facts you should know. Transvaal does not presently have the ability to project military force throughout the world. Furthermore, we do not desire that ability. The military of Transvaal is a defense force, for keeping domestic peace and taking an active stance in neighboring nations. In the event of an attack on Cochin, our ability to do more than interdict sea lanes in the South Atlantic would be the most useful contribution we could make. We cannot promise massive air and sea transportation of troops and material around the world. Second, our economy is growing back stronger than ever and according to some projections will become one of the largest in the world and certainly in Africa. This is in no small part due to massive contributions by Cochinese investments and the economic ties between our nations continues to grow stronger than ever. This is good and should certainly be promoted in the future. However, as I illustrated, I have grave concerns over our ability to contribute as an equal partner in a military treaty. This would need to be addressed. General Peter van Haesten Chairman, National Front of Transvaal

"We would be pleased to hear this proposal" Peter van Haesten Chairman, National Front of Transvaal

My pip was literally right on top of the Conservative marker. Farthest from NDP, of course.

The Republic of Transvaal extends official recognition to the Republic of North Angola. We request their government submit, to the international community at large and to the people of Transvaal in particular, the official repudiation of any legal claims over southern Angola, the sovereign territory of Transvaal.

[center][b]Announcement from the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Transvaal[/b] [img]http://www.allstates-flag.com/fotw/images/z/za%5Eaf82.gif[/img][/center] The Ministry of Defense is pleased to announce contracts to purchase 64 F/A-47-D aircraft fulfilling the Advanced Air Superiority Aircraft requirements. It will contract the first 18 aircraft to be produced in the UFE and then purchase the production license. Furthermore, a preliminary order of 48 Jadayu Mk.1 Transvaal aircraft has been filed with the Kingdom of Cochin, all aircraft to be produced in Cochin. To round out the triad of Transvaal's combat aircraft, as well as to support domestic industry, the Air Force will purchase 180 Atlas-Denel Cheetah II multi-role strike fighters. The German offer to supply flight simulators and tactics and strategy specialists has been accepted. Funds will be transfered to the UFE, Cochin and Germany within the next 24 hours, as soon as the Treasury forwards the official receipts to the General van Haesten for signing.

The Transvaal Ministry of Defense requests the price (per unit and total) for 126 Jadayu Mark 1. Transvaal fulfilling the MMRCA component as submitted by Cochin. It also requests the price for 126 F/A-23 for the MMRCA component and 64 F/A-47-D 'Drake' Sino-Fighter for the AASA, both submitted by the United Federation of the East. The German offer to supply flight simulators and tactics and strategy specialists has been accepted. Before the German aircraft submissions are fully considered, the price and specifications (including images) of each is needed. The Air Force will make its decision following the submission of prices by the bidding nations.

At this time the Republic of Transvaal does not have the military or economic capabilities to uphold a mutual defense treaty. We can only agree to an optional defense treaty at this time, though would certainly like to upgrade to a fully operation mutual defense pact in the future. We also invite the German Government to submit its bid in the Transvaal Ministry of Defense Arms Acquisition Program for fighter aircraft.

The Ministry of Defense requests specifications, including photographs, top speed, cruising speed, armament carried, number of hardpoints, weight, length, height, wingspan, ect. for the Jadayu Mark One Transvaal. We would also like a per unit price. The bid for the Mig35 Trainer has been submitted and will undergo review.

Okay seriously everybody needs to watch that video. It is one of the greatest "propaganda" pieces ever and I'm not even on your side. Absolutely perfect.

[center][img]http://www.allstates-flag.com/fotw/images/z/za%5Eaf82.gif[/img][/center] The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Transvaal is investing in the long term future of its armed forces, beginning with a complete overhaul of the Transvaal Air Force's inventory. With the destruction of the Transvaal Air Force in recent months and the defection of most surviving combat aircraft to the Union of Arctica, the Ministry of Defense is looking to purchase three sets of aircraft. Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA), Advanced Air Superiority Aircraft (AASA) and finally Advanced Jet Trainer Aircraft (AJTA). Bidding will be open to all nations. Bidding contracts should include detailed specifications, combat history and price. The Ministry of Defense is looking to purchase the first flight of aircraft directly and the rest under license in Transvaal. [b]Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft[/b] Requirements: A medium (referring to cost and size), multiple role aircraft, preferably with multiple packages that can be configured based on air force needs. These aircraft should be capable of suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), ground attack, and close air support (CAS) missions, while retaining the ability to adequately compete with enemy fighter aircraft in close combat. Bids should be of Generation 4 and higher. The MoD is looking to purchase 126 aircraft, the first 18 directly from the producer and the rest produced under license. [b]Advanced Air Superiority Aircraft[/b] Requirements: Advanced (generation 4.5 and up) air superiority combat aircraft used primarily to achieve local air superiority as well as an interceptor. May be of the same aircraft type as the MMRCA, but in a specific air-to-air combat package. The MoD is looking to purchase 64 aircraft with the first 10 being bought directly from the producer. [b]Advanced Jet Trainer[/b] Requirements: Advanced training aircraft for use by training squadrons that can adequately simulate combat and allow new pilots to get comfortable in air to air combat and flying high speed jet aircraft. 45 aircraft with the option for 25 more.

[b]Johannesburg Securities Exchange - JSE Reopens[/b] The Johannesburg Securities Exchange has reopened Monday after seven weeks of closure due to the political upheaval in Transvaal, state-run media said. Although financial regulators announced that measures will be taken to support the market and reduce sharp fluctuations in share prices, steep declines are expected when trading resumes. There has been no trading since February 5, after the nuclear attacks on Pretoria and Bloemfontein that resulted in the death of Staatspresident Botha. National Front finance officials had said the decision to reopen the stock market would be based on day-to-day developments, noting that the performance of banks would influence the resumption of trading. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Johannesburg_Stock_Exchange.jpg/300px-Johannesburg_Stock_Exchange.jpg[/img] The JSE officially reopened on Monday. The Deutsche Bank AG offices opened only days ago after a massive German investment plan was announced for to aid the restructuring of the economy.

General van Haesten was at the Nordlandische Waffenwerke factory, established only months ago in Struandale, Port Elizabeth. As the factory workers, many recent immigrants from Germany, looked on, the General shook hands with the factory manager and stepped up onto the first tank produced at the factory. After inspecting the tank, he was handed a microphone and while standing on the tanks turret, addressed the crowd. "On behalf of the government of Transvaal and the Transvaal Defense Force, I salute the workers of the Nordlandische Waffenwerke, who have, in record time, established a production facility [i]and[/i] delivered their first tank. We take possession of this piece of modern military technology knowing it was produced with the highest possible level of attention to detail, skill and technological prowess." "In the months to come, as this factory and others, including the Volkswagen facility across the street, come into full operation, both the economies of Germany and Transvaal will move forward, together, bringing a new age of prosperity for all. Thank you and God Bless."

"These are all more than acceptable to us. The billions of marks invested in the Transvaler economy will in turn create billions of rand to rebuild and rearm our population. I should say, Germany will be quite popular in Transvaal from now on."

[b]Radiation Cleanup Progress[/b] With the influx of foreign aid into refugee camps, government authorities could begin to refocus their efforts away from caring for survivors and towards rebuilding the devastated cities. Along with foreign aid workers, soldiers equipped with NBC suits began moving into Bloemfontein and Pretoria, measuring radioactive nucleotide levels, marking sites and buildings for demolition. Although only the core of the cities were completely devastated in the bombings, many other structures, both damaged and contaminated with radiation, would need to be destroyed and their radioactive rubble disposed of. The number of deaths has significantly dropped off as the survivors enter the late period of the medical affects of nuclear radiation. Most of those in the immediate vicinity of the detonations who survived the blast itself and super-lethal doses of radiation are showing marked improvement in their conditions. Although full reconstruction will take years, the effort to rebuild Bloemfontein and Pretoria has begun in earnest.

Both Tatra Automotive Works and Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. were given invitations to join the TAA. The Transvaler automobile industry is primarily located in East London. Both Cochin corporations were given detailed investment plans detailing the construction of modern manufacturing facilities in the Eastern Cape Province. Investment strategy plans varied from 2.1 to 6 billion rand in cost with different levels of government assistance. [quote]Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT) the chemical sector giant is interested in investing in the various Transvaaler chemical companies. Various strategic investment plans are being offered as also commercial contracts to source raw materials and finished products to market into Cochin economy. [/quote] Transvaal's chemicals industry, including fuel and plastics fabrication as well as pharmaceuticals, is the largest of its kind in Africa, and has been identified by the government as a key driver of economic growth. It currently dominates manufacturing in Transvaal, adding more value to the economy than any other sector and accounting for over half the jobs created by manufacturing as a whole. Diversification and capital injection have been identified as major necessities for the continued growth of the industry. However, much more is imported than exported. The government aims to address this imbalance with its recently introduced national industrial policy framework, which aims to boost the country's value-added exports. The local industry is biased towards an internationally competitive upstream sector, neglecting a downstream sector that has great potential for development. Reversing this bias would help the industry to increase beneficiation (or value-addition), exports and employment. Downstream production is more labour-intensive, and pulls in a larger number of smaller firms. Beneficiation is key to this strategy. Transvaal has a natural advantage in mineral feedstock, but most of these are exported in raw form. However, there are substantial opportunities to convert these materials, using local labour and capital, into value-added inorganic chemicals for export. The government and industry are also working together to find ways of exploiting untapped resources, such as large reserves of fluorine. FACT has been offered a first at the table contract, totaling more than 20 billion rand in projected net profits over the next 10 years after more than 10 billion rand in investments.
