[TRY] Refueling and Export Questions

Post by Yulodion E'nothwocep »

Greetings,

Vosenuvitia in Treisenberg is, like much of that mountainous nation, rich in timber, minerals, and livestock. It is also rich in fish and oil and gas due to its coastal areas. Manufacturing includes chemical production as well as automotive production.

We would like to request official approval of the following:

* The right to utilize ports of Constancia, especially southern Constancia for refueling stops
* The right to unload (export) products of Vosenuvitia at ports of Constancia

Furthermore we would like to request information regarding:

* The tariff rate if any between Constancia and Treisenberg (and, if there is none, if the tariff can be waived, on account of the budding friendly dialogue having taken place here: http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic ... 38&t=19977 )

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Regards,

T E'nothwocep
Esubarcn of Vosenuvitia

Very well...

An Official Trade Agreement between Vosenuvitia of Treisenberg and Constancia

1. Ships under the Treisenbergan flag and registered as Vosenuvitian ships with the Office of Registrations of Vosenuvitia shall have the right to dock at ports controlled by Constancia and refuel at a reasonable market rate at all ports controlled by Constancia.

2. All items put into Constancian ports, either arriving by ship or invested or assigned through electronic record-keeping system, that originate as property of Vosenuvitia (taken henceforth to also include property of Vosenuvitian businesses and property on Vosenuvitian ships) remain property of Vosenuvitia until a Bill of Sale is signed off to Constancia, an associate of Constancia, or the new owner of the property. If no Bill of Sale is signed off, then that property remains part of Vosenuvitia. All goods represented virtually in a Constancia system as the property of Vosenuvitia are in fact the property of Vosenuvitia, even if the Constancia system infrastructure is the property of Constancia.

3. Tariffs on goods and services exchanged between Constancia and Vosenuvitia shall be limited to up to 1.5% of the value of the actual value of the good exchanged.

4. The exchange rate between 1 regular unit of Constancian and 1 regular unit of Vosenuvitian currency shall not exceed 5% or -5%.

5. No part of this Agreement shall infringe upon the right of Vosenuvitian workers to a living wage and humane working conditions.

6. The right of Vosenuvitia to conclude similar agreements with other lands, for example, Shireroth, Caputia, or The Greater Pallisican Trade Association, and the use those agreements shall be protected.

7. Constancia and Vosenuvitia may engage in further cooperation in the area of trade and conclude further agreements as necessary in order to facilitate their shared commerce.

When might the Vosenuvitians find out whether this proposed agreement is either worthy of the approval of Her Majesty's finance ministry, or whether we need to adjust it?

We do not intend to rush your officers; maintaining a part of a vast byzantine bureaucracy as you do is, we imagine, not an easy or speedy task.

Sincerely,

Jason Smith
Vosenuvitian Envoy

Your Excellency:

Our advisors have informed us that out of respect for your renown trading empire, which provides service to ships under many flags, not only our own, we should not restrict Constancia too much when it comes to matters of tariffs or currency, for that is like trimming the toenails of, well, a bird of prey such as those in your Imperial motif! Therefore, we submit the following amended treaty for your consideration:


"An Official Trade Agreement between Vosenuvitia of Treisenberg and Constancia

1. Ships under the Treisenbergan flag and registered as Vosenuvitian ships with the Office of Registrations of Vosenuvitia shall have the right to dock at ports controlled by Constancia and refuel at a reasonable market rate at all ports controlled by Constancia.

2. All items put into Constancian ports, either arriving by ship or invested or assigned through electronic record-keeping system, that originate as property of Vosenuvitia (taken henceforth to also include property of Vosenuvitian businesses and property on Vosenuvitian ships) remain property of Vosenuvitia until a Bill of Sale is signed off to Constancia, an associate of Constancia, or the new owner of the property. If no Bill of Sale is signed off, then that property remains part of Vosenuvitia. All goods represented virtually in a Constancia system as the property of Vosenuvitia are in fact the property of Vosenuvitia, even if the Constancia system infrastructure is the property of Constancia.

3. No part of this Agreement shall infringe upon the right of Vosenuvitian workers to a living wage and humane working conditions.

4. The right of Vosenuvitia to conclude similar agreements with other lands, for example, Shireroth, Caputia, or The Greater Pallisican Trade Association, and the use those agreements shall be protected.

5. Constancia and Vosenuvitia may engage in further cooperation in the area of trade and conclude further agreements as necessary in order to facilitate their shared commerce.

I have been instructed to ask whether your government will permit reciprocal provisions for Constancia to be included in the same document.

Your Excellency,

That is an interesting question. However, some recent internal events in Treisenberg, not fully made public, have led us to decide to currently 'table' our pursuit of further trade ties with Constancia at this time, as we re-evaluate our alliances.

We will try to contact either you or a representative should this status change.

Have a good day,

Justin Smith
