"More than just new factories, German direct investment in the economy of Transvaal, be it through service or industrial based corporations, is at this time critical. We can offer extremely favorable investment opportunities." "Any German citizens making the decision to move to Transvaal will be invited to an immigration office I would like to set up in Berlin. Based on their education, job experience and family, we can offer them free housing, be it apartment, condominium or single family home, as well as arrange a job for them. Transportation costs, education in English and Afrikaans and other costs associated with moving would be provided by the government."

Like Triyun said, if there is a contest then it should be IC instead of OOC whining.

The Comoros, Mauritius and Prince Edward Islands should be marked Arctica, not Transvaal.

[quote name='Vedran' timestamp='1300331700' post='2666881'] The Arctican White Cross, still operating refugee camps in and around Johannesburg, lodged an official request with the government to continue operations and possibly expand them to Bloemfontein. Additionally, they have provided a full and comprehensive list of Transvalers currently housed in the White Cross camps on Madagascar, amounting to about 15,000 people. Pursuant to an agreement in the peace talks, the government of the Union inquires as to how it may best dispense aid, whether monetary or material. [/quote] The Government of Transvaal officially requests the White Cross to expand efforts to assist in operations around Bloemfontein, a smaller city that has been severely under assisted in terms of foreign aid focus. Furthermore, an official request to maintain refugee camps on Madagascar was lodged with a promise to reimburse the White Cross should continued aid be required past three months. Material aid has been requested, primarily medically trained personnel (doctors, nurses, technicians), medical supplies and reconstruction assistance.

[b]TO: The desk of General van Haesten RE: Strategic Considerations in Economic Development[/b] FROM:Economic Development Council [b]Ekonomiese ontwikkelingsterreine vir oorweging[/b] We have identified several economic development sites that must be developed. Cape Town and Johannesburg are modern cities with strong financial sectors and access to labor. Foreign firms must be given incentives to outsource and open local offices. We recommend a reduction in tax rates for firms willing to open offices in certain sectors, with a focus on capital management, banking and investment. The destruction of Bloemfontein and Pretoria will open up the construction sector to access for large contracts. Firms with offices in the two disaster sites are expected to rebuild there, as well as the severely reduced property values making them lucrative sites for foreign direct investment. Our recommendations are centered around offering high level contracts for foreign firms. Agriculture is effective and highly productive in South Africa and Rhodesia (if it votes to join the Republic). Botswana and Namibia have inefficient, small farms owned by locals. We recommend the movement of natives off land and resettle them for labor. Consolidating small plots into packages of 10, 20, 30 and 40 thousand acre farms reserved for whites will make farming more efficient in these outlying areas. Mining is efficient and corporate owned. [b]Onderhoud en ontwikkeling van fisiese infrastruktuur[/b] We recommend the continued redevelopment of a national highway system, investment in the ports at Cape Town, Walvis Bay and Swakopmund as well as heavy gauge rail connecting the country. Current passenger rail is near ancient and severely outdated. Implementing a 10 year plan to rebuild major highways, cargo rail and passenger rail, beginning with the connection of the Cape to the interior through Cape Town-Walvis Bay-Windhoek-Sa da Bandiera and Cape Town-Bloemfontein-Johannesburg-Pretoria-Gaborone-Salisbury lines will speed movement of capital, labor and goods. Schools in rural areas need to be developed and the quality of secondary education improved across the country. We recommend a policy of isolating funds based on racial classification and economic output to stimulate development of dependent classes. [b]Die mobilisering, beskikbaarstelling en behoud van kapitaal[/b] Foreign direct investment is critical for capital acquisition at the moment. The extensive gold reserves brought to Transvaal by the Tahoan Government-in-Exile need to be nationalized and exploited for economic development. [b]Samevatting[/b] Foreign investment at this time is critical. We also recommend a policy economic stimulus, deficit spending and inflationary policies to encourage capital flows. The gold reserves are a strong backer and safety net of deficit policies. We recommend a GEAR policy to encourage growth at 15% for the next three years, followed by 6% a year for the next five. Employment of white collar workers is dependent on foreign investment as infrastructure and rebuilding projects will reduce unemployment to 3% for the next two years at least. Production of lower to medium quality export goods for foreign markets will allow the development of a home industrial sector. --------------------------- On the behalf of the Economic Development Council of the Republic of Transvaal, I am opening a preliminary panel to gauge the interest of long term direct investment in the economy of Transvaal. Several nations have pledged reconstruction aid for the devestated cities of Bloemfontein and Pretoria and thus will receive favorable policies for national firms for direct investment. Bids for construction contracts in the cities, on infrastructure (road, rail, high speed rail, ect.) by corporations and governments are open for submission.

For an announcement to be Imperial doesn't it need to be made by like, you know, the Emperor? Otherwise its just an announcement....

Van Haesten called for an aid, who shortly poured Martens a cup and left a pot of black coffee on a counter-top near the door. "Immigration of Europeans to a new continent is not without precedent, Martens. My own people left their homelands hundreds of years ago, creating new states around the world. To be sure, these settlers fought with their lives to create a new life but what they found was often preferable to their homelands. Those darker days of Europe are over, but I cannot believe that the German people are so comfortable with their current lives to not risk something better. This is a new land, fresh and rich with opportunity, yet it is not like the colonies of old, when people set forth into the darkness. Look around you, Cape Town is a modern city of glass and steel, at least as wealthy as any city in Europe." "I plan on implementing policies that encourage immigration from European nations. Unskilled laborers, blue collar tradesmen and factory workers, investors, businessmen, doctors...all are welcome, all are needed. All would find homes here, provided by the government. All would find work." "I am not asking you to fill a quota, but to consider what I know is true. The German people are brave and willing to risk it all for something better. Yet they do not have to risk their lives and livelihood coming here." "As for your other concerns...about the possibility of being surrounded by the natives. That is exactly what I am trying to prevent. We must outnumber them by the end of the decade or face a long slow decline. They will never be able to take power back from us except if we surrender it. Our sons will have a better life."

"Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" Thucydides was right. Its how it works.

Foreign cargo ships filled with humanitarian supplies were directed to dock in Cape Town, where tens of thousands of volunteers and soldiers turned out to assist in the unloading efforts. Supplies destined for the sprawling refugee camps in the veld surrounding Bloemfontein and Pretoria were distributed primarily by soldiers, overseeing an orderly system of vouchers and ration cards. Clinics for treating radiation sickness that had been established by Transvaler doctors had been overwhelmed by the number of patients. As military and foreign doctors and nurses flew in, along with medical supplies allowing for the better treatment of patients in critical conditions. For many of the victims with the worse cases, there was very little that could be done except to ease their pain and help them struggle on. Potassium iodide, previously a precious commodity, was handed out to families in the camps, helping fight off radiation sickness and easing symptoms. Foreign technical experts from Sri Lanka, China and Cochin were directed to Bloemfontein and Pretoria, where rubble clearing efforts were already underway in the devastated downtown areas. Over the next months, their assistance would allow for radiation to dissipate and reconstruction efforts to begin.

"My apologies Herr Martens, the only stiff drink I can offer is whiskey. I have coffee in the next room, and shall call for it if you would like?" Van Haesten motions towards the door as he continues to speak. "Herr Martens, we Tahoans had to live through the death of our homeland. We could not call ourselves men and let our adoptive homeland fall too. This is the last refuge where we can be free. We are Transvalers now. Meine ehre heisst treue as we say now." "Do not feel guilt for not standing with us publicly. This was a private matter for Transvaal to settle among itself. The future of Teutonic-Transvaal relations depend on what we do now, not the past." "We are desperate need of assistance in reconstruction, as well as rebuilding our economy. Beyond that, we must have a strong military and face the demographic crisis. Far to many whites were killed in the nuclear attacks. I know there are tens of thousands of Nordic-Tahoans that moved to Germany following the collapse of Tahoe, and though many will stay, I intend to recall them to their new homeland, as well as encouraging immigration from Germany to Transvaal."

"Any help that can be sent would be appreciated. I'm sure you can sympathize with the incredible suffering the people of Transvaal have endured over the past months. Close regional economic and political ties with Cochin are certainly something we will work towards. While our ability to reciprocate will be dependent on the rate of our economic recovery, future relations will be beneficial for both of our nations." "As for the price of the lease, we will charge 81 million rand this year, with a drop in price down to 17 million rand for the next five years. Following that, the price will be adjusted for inflation with a maximum of 15%."

[quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1300163670' post='2665311'] The United Federation of the East and August Imperator Jia recognize the restoration of Transvaal. Should you require assistance we are ready to provide it. [/quote] We are in desperate need of humanitarian supplies for refugees, as well as technical experts to assist in the reconstruction of Bloemfontein and Pretoria.

"As our position was stated then, the continued operations of your naval air station on St. Helena island will not be a problem for us. Sovereignty is not up for negotiation. There will be no new restrictions placed on airbase operations, except those desired by the local government, which must go through national authorities first anyway. If that ever becomes an issue, all parties will be notified." "Due to the extreme war damages suffered by our nation, including nuclear attacks on Bloemfontein and Pretoria, only miles from here, our economy is suffering. The National Front therefore wishes to renegotiate the compensation of use of territory. We will be open to the signing of a long term lease." "Furthermore, I know it may seem rather abrupt and inappropriate to ask for assistance after telling you we desire more money for the continued use of you naval air station. But we are in dire need of cleanup crews for dealing with the nuclear devastation, as well as humanitarian assistance for the refugees. This is a good opportunity for continued Cochin investment in the Transvaler economy."

Lord Martens driver promptly sped away from Ysterplaat Airbase in the heart of the city. Around a half hour later, the old, 600 Series Mercedes pulled up to a large, modern mansion in the foothills of Lions Head in the luxurious Camps Bay neighborhood of Cape Town. The venerable German leader was given a few hours to refresh before being picked up and whisked away to the location of the meeting with General van Haesten. Saluting, van Haesten greeted Martens and offered refreshments (whiskey of course). "Welcome to Transvaal, Lord Martens).

Don't come back

The National Front feels it is appropriate to return to the old flag of South Africa. Its striking similarility to the former flag of Transvaal, which bore the image of a Voortreker's wagon, honors the old flag but acknowledges that as Transvaal goes boldly into the future, it must not rely solely on the past. The Union Flag, the Transvaal Flag and Orange Free State flag all honor the integral parts of the Transvaal Republic and its history.

Having come under the temporary protection of the Union of Arctica, the people of Transvaal have resolved to sever the political bonds between Transvaal and Arctica, which had come into place over the past months. THEREFORE, WE, THE COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL FRONT OF TRANSVAAL, DO HEREBY DECLARE, In humble submission to Almighty God who controls the destiny of nations, conscious that the people of Transvaal have always shown unwavering loyalty and devotion to the Staatspresident Botha, and earnestly praying that we and the people of Transvaal will not be hindered in our determination to continue exercising our God given rights, we declare the Independence and Sovereignty of the Transvaal Republic Signed, Peter van Haesten General-in-Chief and Chairman, National Front of Transvaal Annetjie van Matteus Teddy O'Donovan Petrus Viljoens Ratified by the Council of the National Front of Transvaal

Yeah but you are missing one piece of the Capiviri Strip in Namibia

Please mark Namibia (including southern Angola according to the current border), Botswana, Lesotho and all of South Africa except for Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces as Transvaal. Also, all islands in the Atlantic Ocean marked Arctica should be relabeled as part of Transvaal.

"Very well. On the behalf of the National Front of Transvaal, I agree to these terms." General van Haesten stood and shook the hands of the Arctican representatives. "I will await the beginning of the referendums in Zambia and Rhodesia, and send advisors to monitor the elections. My military forces will stand down immediately and repatriate all bodies and prisoners. Of course your commandos will be dealt with by yourself, we will make arrangements for the passage of officers through the lines shortly. I was worried that it was local insurgents that were causing problems in our supply lines in the area, nearly 20 of our soldiers were killed or wounded in the past week. Honestly, knowing that commandos and not local insurgents is a relief." The Council of the National Front will gather in Cape Town, the interim capital, and establish a provisional government, pending the normalization of domestic affairs that will allow a transition to democracy. I cannot promise that your government and mine will see eye to eye in the future, but I do hope to continue Transvaal's legacy and maintain constructive, peaceful and mutually beneficial relations. Let us put this unfortunate war behind us and move forward together for a strong South Africa."
