“Sir?”

“Message for you, sir.”
General Marshen turned in his chair, extinguishing a fistful of NationStates | Cuba cigarillos into the memo he had been reading. Taking a moment to grind the cigarillos in to make sure it caught fire, he exhaled in ecstatic satisfaction. “What?”
Kassandra, his aide, held up a fax machine. “A message for you, sir. It says it’s of dire importance to all of Marshen Industries.”
“I see. Give me a look, will you?”

General Marshen’s eyes lit up. “Why, this could be the greatest opportunity we - and the whole Reich - have had in years! Call the Army! Call the Fuhrer! Actually, scratch that, there’s only one person who can be trusted to handle this.” Turning reverently to face a portrait of Dostoyevsky, he sighed. “But I will have to do.”

Sir (Or Madam, or Honorable Hermaphrodite, it’s hard to tell with a name like Satya),
We in Marshen Industries pride ourselves on being an advanced purveyor of fine technology and excellent lab rat breeding, and so we are puzzled to find that your region believes that we have not yet mastered the technique of moving from region to region. Why, I myself was an ace pilot of those oversized military helicopters that carry nations about in my youth, and I have not yet forgotten the invigorating ride that is navigating from region to region, dodging sky icebergs and battling penguins! I made my fortune in those days, and that is why I resolved to settle down and establish the finest armaments firm on God’s sickly-green glowing earth! I am glad, still, that you have come to call upon me in my jewel-bedecked home region of the East Pacific, for there is opportunity to be had here. Come, stay here with me, and we shall build a legacy of industry the likes of which the world has never seen!
Ever So Truthfully Yours, Honest,
General Marshen
P.S. Enclosed is one bust of your Archducal self, carved of the finest marbled plutonium, decked with one million Reich dollars in costume jewelry. It would honor me greatly if you placed it in a square of your capitol!
