| Economic Plan for Covanellis | |
| By: Covanese Republic Date: October 9, 2014, 5:04 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| After a fair bit of thinking and conferring with citizens, the | |
| Covanese government has come up with the following business plan | |
| for our nation. | |
| Stage 1 - Saving | |
| The first stage of our economic plan will be to open services | |
| selling botanical equipment, plants, plant seeds, aquascaping | |
| equipment, acrylic nano tanks, and other high quality items. We | |
| might also do business in the stock market, as well as online | |
| advertising, and even physical advertising (should our | |
| Rockhampton Base move be successful). Our goal is to save | |
| $500,000 - $1M, or raise it from our citizens, in order to | |
| purchase a large rural property to build our nation on. | |
| Stage 2 - Land Purchase | |
| Stage two of our economic plan will be to purchase land on which | |
| to build our nation. Here in Australia, you can easily purchase | |
| land that is over 10,000 acres for approximately $500K. We will | |
| be looking for land in the Central Queensland - Central New | |
| South Wales region, and preferably along the coast (although | |
| this is unlikely, as land prices are very high in that area). | |
| Stage 3 opt. 1 - Mining | |
| Most of the land in Australia possesses mineral wealth, and even | |
| if it isn't known yet, you could bet that any given property has | |
| red soil, which indicates iron ore. We will open our property | |
| for mining countries to mine on if they agree to sign our | |
| contract for a minimum of 25% of the money earned on the land. | |
| After all mining has been completed in a mine we choose, we will | |
| ask the mining company to only fill it back up to a certain | |
| point, and then pave the rest with concrete. We will later use | |
| this to store the nations water. We hope that the mining efforts | |
| will earn us $1Bn or more, however the next stage should | |
| continue to give us money after our mineral wealth has run out. | |
| Stage 4 - Secession | |
| After mining efforts have been completed, and with a hoped-for | |
| $1bn, Covanellis will make a bid for independence from | |
| Australia. We will offer Australia our service of waste disposal | |
| (as much as we can, but we will be realistic about it), in | |
| return for independence. This should be very favourable to | |
| Australia, as it means they will no longer need to pay as much | |
| to dispose of some of its waste, and should convince the country | |
| to allow us to seceed. | |
| Stage 5 - Business and Water | |
| Around the shell of the lake-to-be, Covanellis will plant trees | |
| to secure the land, and prevent erosion, we will then offer up | |
| plots of land on 99 year business leases, with the condition | |
| that businesses develop the land as they please (in accordance | |
| to the Covanellis building standards and requirements, of | |
| course). Should these companies wish to give up the land | |
| prematurely to the lease end, they must notify the Covanese | |
| government 3 years in advance, and the Covanese government will | |
| pay them back for their building expenses along with an | |
| additional 10% for doing business in Covanellis. As these | |
| businesses are being build, the Covanese government will be | |
| paving roads and gutters, and connecting all water drainage in | |
| the country to the lake (to be named Lake Meypaulz), and | |
| building a water treatment plant nearby. We will also spend some | |
| of our money making waste disposal areas in which organic waste | |
| can be converted to ethanol and water (this water will also be | |
| pumped to the lake). | |
| Our business figure is that Education, Food, Water, Sewerage and | |
| Public transport is all free in return for a persons free labor | |
| to their employer. This encourages a company to set up factories | |
| and business headquarters in Covanellis (Our business tax will | |
| be 20%), as it eliminates approximately 40% of a companies | |
| expenses, thus maximizing company profit and the benefits of | |
| doing business in Covanellis. The government will also provide | |
| each working citizen with retirement credits and some | |
| international purchases money, with the amount depending on job | |
| difficulty and productivity. In order to ease state pressure to | |
| supply the people with food, there are significant benefits to | |
| growing most or all of your food at home, which is an extra | |
| $10000 per person, per year for growing all food, and a range of | |
| money amounts depending on other food production quantities. If | |
| you have any extra questions, please ask, as this could take | |
| much longer to explain fully. | |
| Stage 4 - Development | |
| Any leftover money from our mining endeavors as well as the | |
| money made from the business tax and GST will go into the | |
| development of public infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, | |
| vertical farms and housing, as well as government businesses, | |
| which will supply a large amount of the nations GDP. | |
| If I have left anything out of this, then please let me know, as | |
| I am always looking to better my nations chances at success on | |
| the macronational scale, and I do not want to miss out any | |
| important details. | |
