Intergalactic Summit

As someone with a passing familiarity with trade I congratulate you on your project.

Such a project is long overdue.

It is surprising to me however that you didn't choose to start with the clusters largest and most vibrant economy.

But no matter, to each his own.

Thank you very much for your feedback, sir.

And the reason I didn't start with the Federation was to avoid being seen as biased. The Federation has fared quite well in its report, probably the best amongst Nation-States concerning business environment and investment opportunities, and as a Gallente citizen I didn't want to sound like I was promoting my nation through these reports. I may release it as the next one, though.

Mr. Lyserius,

An interesting and very informative read. While I possess only a base knowledge of economics and trade, I have been looking for opportunities to expand that knowledge.

I look forward to the next edition.

Sincerely,
Noden Vorpalstar

That's a very unique point of view, Ms Kim, but one that is far from reality.

First, Gallente investors are investors like any other - and the less investors the State receive, slower its economic growth. While the Caldari State was able to grow on par with other states before the capsuleer era, the scenario has changed too much. Without the substantial portion of investments coming from Gallente investors through capsuleer industry, the State would lag behind all the other three nations in growth and eventually fade out. See, the Federation is of the four the most welcoming to foreign investors - Caldari included - and it is the one growing the most.

Second, Heth was a disaster for the Caldari economy - no wonder he has been kicked out by the commanders of Caldari economy. His radical politics scared away investors from all nations, his isolationism raised barriers to beneficial trade - with al nations. The results were a mild recession during his rule and slower growth since. Rumours are Caldari corporations have been working hard to attract Gallente, Minmatar and Amarr investors back after Heth's fiasco. See, on business to business level, political and ideological differences matter little and it's profit and growth that really count. Although business relations are affected by the political and military theathers, they stand on their own scenario.

Well, that's not entirely true either. The Caldari economy was stagnating due to the muddying effect of nepotism, prior to the Executor's rise. His militarisation projects and his ruthless quashing of the 'old boy' network certainly did wonders for the Caldari economy - sadly his influence was not as positive towards the end of his period in control, hence the rather overwhelming vote of 'no confidence'.

Towards the end of his career he was siphoning money out of corporate coffers and driving the State towards economic ruin.

Whom would judge it, but not an incompetent jaijii, so, next topic...


Federation is a rotten wastebin, full of useless peoples doing useless business.
Investitures in form of raw money could help the State, but it will also put the corporations into dependence from gallentean swines, which must be avoided at all cost. Caldari corporations are for Caldari !
We have lived without gallenteans for thousands of years, we don't need them.


Annoying ignorant jaijii, the glorious and greatest leader Tibus Heth was the best what happened to the State in last two hundred years! Your disrespect to Caldari culture is unacceptable. I will look forward to delivering some Caldari Superiority into your ship by using of high grade Caldari Navy ammunition!
I hope your crew will like it, and I hope, that a round will pierce a capsule to make a hole in your stomach before you will be brain scanned, so you will remember forever this feeling.

And have a good jam.

*Chuckles*
That's why you're the pawn taking orders at the frontline, and not the king giving them from a penthouse in New Caldari, kiddo.

Just remember next time you shoot a Gallente pilot that there's a high chance that your charge was funded indirectly by Gallente investors, in the same way that his next ship will probably be indirectly funded by a Caldari businessman.

As trying to shoot me in my ship, don't bother. I only pilot from my labs to Caille and back. But you may take your chances next time I visit New Caldari to close a deal, and try to put a bullet through my head in front of all your superiors - and consequently ruin their profits in the name of Tibus Heth.

Also - watch out for the Tier 2 modules you buy. I may have made them.



Quite soon, sir. I am right now making the final reviews and it should be here by monday.

Of course not, silly, since the opposite happens quite as often.

Sounds about right, though I think it is worth mentioning that the multicultural and aesthetically developed aspects of its planetary hubs can make investment more enjoyable on a personal level.

LOVE the Federation guide! However one thing you forgot to memtion is that the Federation has higher taxes due to our more socialized economy. While this does give us fantastic infrastructure and services, it does detract from profits.
