OOC: Oh !@#$, I'm sorry, I am sorry, I wrote that half asleep. I will edit the post so it says equity.

Atlatnis would like to buy some equity. What is the rate for the each bond? OOC; Edited to say equity instead of equity bonds.

Atlantis votes for the bid. For: 2, Against: 0

[b]To: Aeon and PRA From: King Mandella[/b] I know I probably shouldn't say this, but what is the cost and timeframe of building 300 Brown Widows after the construction of the factories?

Now I think about it, we won't need a new continent if we just opened up Antarctica.

[b]To: Aeon From: Atlantis[/b] Please downsize my order to 300 Brown Widows

"The fighters were not too much of a concern. I trust you and your nation" the King turned and followed Ariel to the car. The door was opened, and he climbed in after Ariel. After he had gotten comfortable, he looked up at Ariel and waited for her to say something.

OOC: By the looks of it, I will have strike fighters, bombers, and a number of stealth bombers.

[quote name='Executive Minister' timestamp='1333143561' post='2945709'] OOC: Are you sure you want to make your entire airforce up with Strike Fighters? You'll be the jack of all trades but master of none. [/quote] OOC: OK, I got no idea what you mean by that last sentence, but about half of those will go into reserves, while the other half will be my main air force, I will be getting 2 AC IG soon. Come to think of it, I could get it now. I am just overly paranoid that way

The King and his security guards were heading in for the final approach. They noticed the Athenian fighters, but they were not startled. They trusted the Athenians, and they were hardened people. They had seen enough violence before in their kingdom during its hidden days. The King and his retinue braced themselves in their seats as the plane touched down. Once it finally rolled to a complete stop, one of the guards hit a button next to the hatch. The hatch opened, letting down a staircase for the King to descend. The King, unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and stretched. He composed himself, walked towards the hatch, and started descending down the stairs. On his descent, he was aware of a group of men waiting for him. He descended the stairs, walked to the man who looked like he was in charge, extended his arm, smiled, and said "You must be the Magistrate. It is a pleasure to meet you."

[b]To: Legion Treasury From: King Mandella[/b] There is an electronic notice that should accompany this message. It should show that $30 billion has been transferred to your nation.

King Mandella was pleased to receive this notice. He called up an aide saying: "I will be going to Cairo. You have worked with me since the beginning of my reign, and I trust you among all other people. While I am gone, you are to assume duties as the Interim King. Am I understood?" "Yes sir. I will carry out the duties with the highest respect and honor possible." "Good, I will go then. I have already packed in anticipation of this occurring, and the plane is ready. I will depart shortly. Good bye" "Good bye sir" The King exited the palace and headed to his jet that was nearby. After the pilot and security saw him, they let him pass and he boarded the plane. King Mandella sat down in his seat and took a deep breath. This was his first outreach to another nation personally. the pilot turned, looked at the King and said: "Where to sir?" "Cairo International Airport. My first power meeting." As the plane moved down the runway, King Mandella smiled to himself. He took out his laptop and sent a message to the Athens Government: [b]To: Ariel david From;: King Mandella[/b] My plane is inbound to Cairo International Airport. I hope to meet you there. May God bless your nation.

[b]Classified[/b] After the launch of the satellite, King Mandella got into his limo and went to the Palace. When he got there, he went to his office, ans started to write a memo for the AAA Missile Division: [b]To: AAA Missile Division Head From: King Mandella[/b] I have noticed that the technology of this nation has been advancing rapidly. When the Arabs had come to our fair land, they brought with them a number of BrahMos Mid-Range Supersonic Missiles. I think it is about time that we upgraded the missile. I want your division to create a mid-range and long-range version of the BrahMos Missile, but I also want it to go at hypersonic speeds. I expect no less than Mach 5, but it would be great to see Mach 7. please give me a time frame. The military will pay very well. I also want to rename the missiles from BrahMos to Neptune Missiles

[b]To: Athens Government From: King Mandella[/b] Your nation is really the only nation that is based outside of Africa that is still in Africa. I am not trying to be rude or insulting, but I hope to open up diplomatic ties with you. The majority of the companies in my nation have been bought out by the AAA, and so far we have met all our needs. The problem is that the AAA has no other markets to open to outside of Africa. On another note, you are in Africa, so I thought it would be beneficial if we managed to work together. What do you say? I await your reply.

[b]To: Legion Government From: King Mandella[/b] We have noticed that the effort to regain control of the former nation of Levantia has been draining on your financial resources. can I be of assistance to provide you with financial aid? The AAA is doing far better than I could have hoped, considering all the domestic contracts in my country. I can authorize aid up to $30 billion right now. Will that be helpful? OOC: Sorry I haven't been too active. I got sick and my allergies kicked in at the same time, so I really feel like crap right now. Try and type with a violent cough and then sneezing a few minutes later [b]To: Aeon From: King Mandella[/b] The AAF (Atlantis Air Force) Is interested in procuring 1,080 F/A-0 Brown Widows. If you would be so kind to accept this contract, please give us a time frame and an estimated cost.

[b]Classified[/b] King Mandella walked up to the platform, and looked straight up. He was immensely proud of this nation. Ever since those awkward Arabs had come to the shore, the technological advancements of this nation had been astounding. He smiles proudly at the rocket that would take this country's first ever satellite into space. Sure, it was a military satellite, but he was still proud otherwise. After looking at the rocket one last time, he turned around and started walking back into the control room for the launch. He nodded at the group of technicians, and they started doing their work. After a couple of minutes, a flurry of button clicking, and final system checks, the countdown began: T-Minus 10...... 9...... 8...... 7...... 6...... 5...... 4...... 3...... 2...... 1...... BLAST OFF!!! The rocket thrusters finally kicked into high gear and started pushing upward. King Mandella was nervous. If everything went alright, his nation would be the proud owner of a brand new satellite. If this failed, the news would spread quickly and Atlantis would become the laughingstock of Africa. King Mandella was determined to see this through until the end. Quickly, the rocket sped into the sky, and out into the atmosphere. As the rocket pieces started falling off, the satellite kicked into life. All the pieces started unbending, and the beautiful solar panels came into full view. For a few seconds, everyone in th control room stood with bated breath. This was the moment of truth. A few seconds later, the satellite began transmitting information. For the first time ever, the country could be seen from space on the computer monitor. Everyone erupted into cheers, hugging each other and throwing paper around like confetti. They had done it. The scientists, engineers, and technicians of Antlantis had come together and made this technological marvel.

Wrong Page, sorry

[b]Classified[/b] The construction of the military satellite has been completed. Scientists are 99.5% sure that the satellite will be receptive in space. The name of the satellite is the Sky Atlantis I. Construction of a small launch site is underway. The lanch site should take two to three months to complete.

[b]Classified[/b] Three very important things have occured to this nation on this very day. First, the combat suits for the Atlantis army have been completed. Second, twelve shiny new submarines emerged into naval bases in the country. Third, the nation has finally managed to make a working satellite. Scientists are 99.5% sure that the satellite will be receptive once it is in orbit. The classification startled a few people, but it was expected-it was a military satellite, the nation's first. Construction of a small launch site off road has begun. It is expected to be completed in 2-3 months. [b]Open to Public[/b] The public companies that provided the military with its weaponry and other things have joined under he name of one-The Atlantian Arms and Associates (AAA). Comprised of formerly 50 different public comapnies in all sectors, they sell virtually anything that the public and the military could reasonably need. This company has been apporved by King Mandella, as long as the CEO changes once every 2 years. This company already controls most of the business in the country, and employs directly and indirectly millions of people. This company hopes to spread its business to the rest of Africa, and hopefully, the international community. Currently, the company pulls in over $1.5 trillion a year. Current Estimate: [color="#00FF00"]$3.6 trillion[/color] Current Funds: [color="#00FF00"]$600 billion[/color]

King Mandella votes against a launch loop for two reasons. First, no one needs it. Second, we are Africans. We need to keep our pride. We can't have a foreign nation building something like a launch loop on our land and expect the world to see us as a respectable group anymore.

Atlantis is procuring 12 submarines in the next two to four weeks. (OOC: 1 to 2 RL days) Will this help with African water defense?

70,510 soldiers have been added to the army of Atlantis. Tanks, MHGs, and S-400s are being constructed to meet the demand. OOC: Infra purchase. [b]Classified[/b] Aircraft Carriers Designs Submitted: Displacement: 100,000 tons (standard load) Overall: Length: 350 m Beam: 96 m Waterline: Length: 325 m Beam: 48 m Draft: 12 m Speed: 30+ kn (18 kn - operative) Range: unlimited Supply endurance: 45 days Propulsion: 4 x OK-900 nuclear reactors (600 MWt each) Armament Edit 4 x 72 S-500F Red Star combat system VLS (S-500D or E missiles) 4 x Palash CIWS/CADS complexes (32 9M337Sosna-R hypersonic CADS missiles) 4 x RBU-12000 Udav-1M counter-torpedo, anti-frogman and mobile minefield system (4 x 60 projectiles) 66 aircraft. Not confirmed [img]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m586/JoelJames1/AricraftCarrier.gif[/img] An order has been submitted for 4 aircraft carriers, with an option of two more.

The phone in King Mandella's office rang, King Mandella extends a hand and picks up the receiver, and moves it to his ear. He says "King Mandella" "Sir, you are not going to believe this. This was the presidential aide that was sent for the expedition. "Try me" "Well, the tunnels criss-cross the entire country, and there are even a few underground bunkers. What should we do?" "Perfect, this will help us defend our country, and even give a safe haven for out people and nuclear weapons. Convert five of the bunkers into nuclear missile silos. They may come in use later. Place some soldiers to guard every bunker and every half mile until we can get an automated defense system in. Some of the bunkers will be used as storage facilities for weapons and food. I may have further orders. Am I understood?" "Yes sir, perfectly" "One more thing. What is the status of the submarines that are being built?" "The construction has been finished. They are nuclear capable, and have some stealth capabilities. I just checked my updates, and as of right now, the subs are undergoing testing. They should arrive at our nation's navy bases in two to four weeks" "That is good, it is very good. Good bye." "Good bye sir, have a great day" *click*

The Atlantis navy is too small to patrol anything more than the national border. However, if the Legion is seeking funds for an African project like this, all they have to do is ask and the country will provide some. On the matter of the launch loop, Atlantis would vote against having Athens build the launch loop on the site of the forme space elevator for two reasons. First, the remains of the Space Elevator should be preserved as a memorial, to show the despicable things some people will try and do. Second, we are looking to unify continental Africa. Athens already has holdings in Egypt and protectorate towards the north. We shouldn't invite more. If we wanted the launch loop so bad, we could just build it ourselves.

[b]CLASSIFIED[/b] The phone rang in King Mandella's office, He looked at the idea and noticed that the number was assigned to the Army Excavation Corps. King Mandella picked up the phone and said "Hello?" "Good afternoon sir. Sorry to bother you, but we found something of great interest, that could be almost considered a national security threat" "Really? What is it?" "A series of underground tunnels and bunkers. This could either be a huge military disadvantage, or a great military advantage." "Where does it lead to?" "We are not sure sir. We thought it would be best to tell you first. What should we do?" "Halt for now. I am sending one of my aides to accompany you in the expedition. Once the expedition is complete, I want an evaluation of the tunnels and bunkers. If it is viable, we will refurbish them and use them for our country's use. The tunnels will have the best security of the country. The best defended location will be converted into an underground laboratory and testing facility. Am I understood?" "Yes sir, perfectly." "Good, the aide will arrive shortly to your location." King Mandella hangs up the phone and presses a button on the console on his desk. An aide walks in. The president pulls out a piece of paper and writes down his assignment to accompany the expedition. After he finished writing the letter, he caps his pen and puts it into his pocket. He opens his desk drawer, pulls out the Seal, and stamps the letter. He hands it to the aide and says: "This is your assignment. Please go to the location specified on this letter and then present the letter. I trust that you will accomplish this task without too much trouble. Am I understood?" "Yes sir." "Then go. I expect a full report upon you return" The aide turned around and left the office, heading down to the Royal garage, to get his car and drive to the location. Back in the office, King Mandella pulls out an envelope, and continues doing on his other duties.
