We try to be democratics and follow strong capitalistic ideals while fighting corruption, religious fanatism from North Africa and all kinds of imperialism. We shall show that we can do much better than our former colonizers!

Therefore we offer cooperation to our Brothers and Sisters in Southamerica.

We would like to open trade immedietely. And a corporate alliance would not be bad either.

ESU & EU:

Our thanks for your acceptance of our humble offers. We shall construct corporate branches swiftly, and soon our economies shall burst and burgeon!

All:

We once again offer peace and trade to all nations.

Also, a little more background. the Kiwi-Korporation is completly economic-centered. Our government revolves the corporation as do all laws. For the most part, the KK embraces Democracy. Because Democracy is good for business.

We hope to remain neutral in all affairs, but will retaliate to unprovoked assault.

The KK would also like to announce that it is now beginning construction for deep-sea mining and harvesting. Geothermal energy is a safe, clean and abundant energy source just waiting to be harvested. And a Nuclear Reactor at the bottom of the ocean cannot harm humans, and will always have access to the nessecary intake of water. Expect to see Kiwi-Korp Undersea-Power in the near future!

Chancellor Ayoyos- i wish us to be allys if that is all possible. we can gain much from each other it would be beneficial to both sides since we are neighbors.

i would also like an alliance with the kk. i believe it would be beneficial to the KK if we were joint partners in your deep sea mining venture. we can find a suitable half-way point in the sea (perhaps somewhere in Micronesia)to build it between our two nations and i believe the NAF can provide many useful supplies.

to the MER, you galen, i would also like to propose an alliance. And perhaps we will partake in a future venture to "contain" india...perhaps.

lastly, to you, Oceania, i propose a trade pact...perhaps, some of china's lost cost, high grade oil for some of your nerve gas?

We accept the treaty with the ESU and declare Open Market with the KK. But we will not accept exploitation of our rich mineral sources by foreign forces at any time again.

We ask the MER to not try to spread their religious fanatism across our northern borders.

We demand a part of the antarctis southern of our continent for science and commercial use.

Eccles-perhaps we should be very careful not to destroy large portions of the rainforest. while it does hold much weath and resources, we cannot be careless in eliminating endagered species.

I'm interested in hearing from the Kiwi-Korporation? When you read this A.G.R., reply to my offers made in previous replies.

From our point of view and especially as owner of big rainforests its an atrocity to endager the global nature system by exploiting it only for profit.

We claim the part of the antarctis southern to our country for scientific and economical purposes.

posted 05-23-99 10:39 AM ET         

Great Tyrant Eccles, we didn't mean that we would charge you for sending them to us. We would, instead, take them ourselves. The Kiwi-Korp has a sufficient number of prospectors and soldiers to find, round up and transport all of your refugees without ever requiring assistance. The only thing we would need is your permission to enter the territory.

SMAC:

We shall sign your treaty, if your fellows shall agree to it. And we shall send a dispatch of inspectors immediaetly.

UFSR:

Consider the alliance signed.

Futhermore, the Kiwi-Korp has desperate need for plutonium and uranium. Our scientists and employees would be grateful, and of course, could compensate you for the trouble.

Meanwhile...

Kiwi-Korp research and development is currently working, and is almost finished we might add, on creating humanoid androids which are intelligent enough to be assigned a multitude of tasks and preform them all properly. But strong enough to work the largest and most dangerous factories and mines.

With the addition of androids, nations and companies can save money by saning all safety measures in their factories as well as revoking health insurance and wages.

We congratulate for your scientific breaktrougt but must decline it for our factions as we need our people to work themselves. One industrial revolution at one time.

Perhaps so, but do not forget the military implications of androids.

posted 05-23-99 06:06 PM ET         

Too late, the Kiwi-Korp has begun its prototypes of the KK Military Android Class-A. Similar to their counterparts except they are much larger, much stronger much faster and much smarter than any android, or human, for that matter.

Furthermore, your logic contradicts. You wish to save lives of innocent Indian refugees, yet you wish innocent citizens to die on the battlefield? Android warriors are machines and nothing more. People don't die in a war where people don't fight.

posted 05-23-99 06:21 PM ET         

Yes, and i would like half the profits of this venture, b/c i already have enough raw materials. a new idea has occured to me. perhaps instead of just placing the indians of Oceania on a random island, we should perhaps use them as payed workers in our mining project. that way they can have something to do and get influence from both of our cultures. all of this, of course, if Eccles agrees!

NAF:
We accept the alliance. We have been busy in the Kashmir region, taking it, and eliminating India's Nuclear Arsenal before they could respond.
We congratugulate on you taking of much of India. We wish to get half to a fourth of India, including the Kashmir region, as we have done some 'moving in' too. We would gladly provide you with oil and other resources in exchange for technology on the androids.

SMAC:
We would like to verify with you if it is okay to expand into Somalia, as we have vested economic interests there. We are NOT religious fanatics, however we know of many, most of them Christian and ultra-zionists. Palestine/Isreal has the largest representation per person, and about half of their represenatives are Jewish. We even have a Hindui represenative, as well as a christian. We are more secular than much of the world, the arab world long being devoted to the advancement of knowledge. We are democratic, not theocratic. We united for economic and political reasons, not religious.

Oceinia:
Thank you for the Nerve Gas, it has been helpful in India. We also would like an alliance, freind. However, we caution you against destroying the Rainforest, it is not only eviromentally dangerous, but also has negative economic impacts. We have had to decrease our oil exports in order to maintain economic stablity, and have had problems with deforestation in the Suhel.

posted 05-24-99 08:07 PM ET         

We are somewhat unsure of what you mean. Do you mean you shall help us in our joint project to mass produce androids, or do you wish to purchase some? If either, exactly what kind do you have in mind? Industrial? Agricultural? Military?

SMAC:

We shall begin prototyping heat and sand resistant military droids. It will, of course, require some redesign and may, unfortunately, highten costs a smudge. We hope this isn't to your displeasure.

Meanwhile..

With Androids we have been able to preform more dangerous mining tasks than ever before. We have begun our first attempts to tap below the Earth's crust and into the mantle itself. We'll report our progress soon.

We have also set up our first array of suboceanic nuclear reactors and geothermal taps. Energy-wise, the KK is now completly self-sufficient.

I am the AA. This is the Antarctica association and it controls Antarctica. It has enough food and building materials but a low level of power. It also has technology to resist the cold. It is not a democratic societ as all members were once members of the EU but chose to join me of their own free will. I belive droids must not be armed with weapons but they may be used for agricultural purposes. All chemical and biological weapons are evil.

Oceania: please, before u "test" your weapons, give us prior warning and we will work something else out.

All: We are near finishing the two major projects we were working on: massive kelp farm project and alternative energy project.
We are no longer oil reliant and have plenty of food to spare.

I'm interested in doing another joint project with someone, perhaps space related?

This may be odd, but I got a bit peeved when, after developing my andoirds, it seems everyone in the world just magically has them. If we're in a world in that time and place, than say it before hand, Korian. If we're not, than I'd like to know if either everybody just bought them from the KK (We're willing to sell almost any of our advances or services) or from the NAF without saying so or have all been focusing on the same research goal.

If either, can ya'll just sort've mention these things next time?

IC:

SMAC:

A pity, but our scientists have finished designs for desert military Androids. Would you like such blueprints?

AA:

We are disgusted by your petty discrimination. We are merely a corporation, providing the world what it needs.

We also find your critcism of andoirds humorous. You're Antaractica, my friend. If you aren't going to use Androids than who are to be your citizens? Penguins?

Meanwhile...

The KK has now created a small army of Androids on its own. Approximately 20% of the KK's population are now Androids. We hope to double this number shortly.

FSR: We have a deal! And I would welcome an economic alliance, we shall both find it, profitiable.

KK: We wish for some of your desert android designs, as well as others, we will provide you with oil or euros, or whatever standard you want, at current exchange rates. We also have nuclear secrets known only to the largest superpowers in the world, which I am sure you would like, or HEU. I would also suggest increased economic interaction.

KK: We will use androids. We WILL NOT however let something as flawed as an android use a weapon. The human mind should be the only thing to decide what happens to another human mind. Having artificial intelligences more dangerous than any human is a ridiculous idea. Programs have flaws. Circuits break. Androids are dangerous. Even if a human must wear a protection suit to go outside no android in Antarctica shall weild a weapon.

Ocieana: We accept your alliance.

FNC: We will shortly be needing transportation of some goods from one of our bases to the NAF. It is simply some metal nothing more. Also to transport some oil to the MER. In exchange you may have a suitable number of your euros.

AA: We are not very happy about your appearance as originally we claimed the part of the antarctis souther for our (the SMAC - Southern and Middle African Coalition, so you know that) scientific and economical purposes. So we ask you to sign a Treaty of Cooperation in Mining and guarantee us a research base on your territory.

KK: The blueprints will be very useful in development of further versions, so we are intersted in. The first Indian Ocean Deep Sea Colony (Deep Sea One) has been successfully established and is awaiting your settlers and further improvements (i.e. to gain maritime control over the Indian Ocean).

FSR: As you and us controlling the biggest part of world uranium, gold and diamonds resources, we propose to short the offer and gain control of that part of world market.

We wouldn't let something as flawed as an unstable human deciede who lives and who dies.

We have never, and never will, program our Androids to slaughter, torture, rape or pillage any human beings. Something which human soldiers are quite guilty of.

AA: We have no problems in transporting your various goods. We will have the required ships at your disposal when needed, and of course payment will be enconomic sound sum (good for both parties). As for your new mineral deposits (the heat resistant metal just to name one), we would like to have some samples (even of other minerals found) for research. In return, any finding we get (and possible applications we find) will be shared with you. We only ask that after the new uses are found, we get a small percentage of sales (to cover research cost). Of course, the percentage we not be given forever (just for a certain number of years, as to cover research expenses).

posted 05-26-99 01:15 PM ET            

FNC: When you come to our northenmost base ( Farming Feilds) We will load some of the heat reistant metals onto your tankers. Half of this is to be taken to the NAF and the other half may be kept by you as a payment we will load as much as your tankers can carry. We need to discover uses for this soon. We will also give you some shock reistant metals we have discovered. These two materials should help with droid development but if you use these materials for military droids we will stop all shipments. We have canceled the oil transport to the MER as there is no proof the oil is thiers and this large supply would just further help them control the global oil market. The ships the oil came off has no markings. We would however refuel your ships on this oil as it seems highly efficant and allow you to take a few tonnes of this to experiment on. When you deliver the metal to the NAF you may recive something to ship back here.

NAF: We are delivering the metal for a space project via the FNC. In return we would like information on either the alternative energy or kelp farming technology you mentioned earlier.

MER: Until you can prove your ownership of the oil you will have to trade it with us. This is in no way a threat.

KK: Our undersea project is a huge success! lets us continue our co-opertive ventures! join me in my space project. i can use your resources and experience. we will be the first to conquere space!

Thundros: i'd like to see some of your health care technology and a ski trip in switzerland to get rid of some stress....both of these in exchange for some worker drones u requested. we no longer need these, b/c our scientist are working on more modified for a space environment.

All: I lack many metals and other raw componnts for my space project. I will trade some of the raw materials i have such as kelp(little overstocked!), gems, silk, and the remaining oil we have since we have no more need for it. we will also will trade some of our technology or some of our idle builder androids.

In exchange we eould like some oil and builder droids (for sea bases) and some actual kelp for food. We would also like to send some of our citizens up to space with yours. Also we have discovered a remarkably compact fuel which the FNC are experimenting on we would be glad to let you have some of this incredibly efficient fuel but are not sure how much more there is under our rigs.

NAF: Come on down and take a load off (bring your workers as payment and don't worry about security). As for my health tech, here is one of the technologies we are developing: nanosurgeons. They can be controlled by a surgeon for complicated procedures or new ones and be automated for predefined problems. The benefits: Shorter recovery times, treatment of impossible problems (like deep brain tumors), freeing up surgeons from standard procedures when needed (you can treat more people), They are still in testing phase, but final clinical trials should start shortly.

To All: We have completed our prototypes of worker droids for use in industry. This is how they break down:

IWD (Independent Worker Droid):
Model IWD1: First version, basic design, made with shock resistant metal from AA, can work in mines and underwater (metal does not rust), very durable and it has a repeat learning mechanism, in which only one droid need to know that tasks, then he jsut transfers his info to other, giving them the same knowledge and skill. Cheapest droid you can buy.
Model IWD1-C: Same qualities as IWD1 plus using the cold resistant metal from AA in mixed alloy from, inables droid to work in very cold temperatures (can work at -80 degrees Celsius, tested so far). Cost more than the IDW1.
Model IWD1-H: Same qualities as IWD1 plus uses the heat resitant alloy from AA, so can work in very hot conditions (and humid as well, tested at 200 degrees Celcius). Costs the same as the IWD1-C.
Model IWD1-S: Same qualities at the IWD1, IWD1-C and IWD1-H. Made with an alloy mix making it resist the extreme heat and cold of space as well as the micrometeorites (nasty suckers), plus has thusters to move in space. The most expensive model.

We will be showing them off soon in a demonstration and we will announce pricing soon.
