Jinduming cleared his throat, leaning forward as began to bring out a map.
"Well, I suppose it's my turn. There are four places possible for Josai to choose from, of which are depicted here." He slid the map over to the president with a smile.
"Like Quintelia's zones, the general economic value of each of the area are almost identical. Again, size and population also vary, but in our case you will find the SICR has dramatically less people and more heavy industry. In any case, I will get to the details." He motioned towards the small specks on the map with his index finger.
"The westermost area, Xiawen, has a total population of 22,340 in several towns within a decently large valley, enough for urban development. Alpine forests line the mountainsides and mouth of the valley, with a river running from the summits through the valley. As a major border settlement, it has access to the Kodumaan-Quintelian border, National Railway System extending to all major cities of eastern SICR and possibly the Southern Line as well, which will revitalize the established rail network already in place. Of course, with the surrounding mineral-rich mountains and wartime interest by the OCDP, the region is also host to a bustling mining industry. The abandoned sectors of the area would of course see major refurbishment if Josai chose it, potentially converting the old airfield into a small airport with options for further expansions."
"The town of Taiyuan meanwhile hosts a population of 14,230 within and around the city limits in a wide grassland, boasting rolling hills and ample room for a city, while holding a rather large fuels industry, of which include biofuels, fossil fuels, and syngas. In addition, it is one of the rare regions of the country to hold agricultural centers, of which both feed and supply the city with biofuel material. More developed industrially and commerically, the city also is home to a small rail junction that also can be converted to join the the Southern Line if Josai chose it, already having connection to Jinlu, Baxi'Dinguo and Nanjing. Power is supplied by a sprawling solar and experimental wind array near the outskirts of the city. It has its own regional airport and a hospital, in addition to nearby access to the Yuqin River, and also a battlefield preserve of abandoned miltary vehicles that took part in the Eighth Battle for Taiyuan."
"In the mountains, the zone of Fuchu city is home to the most people, 104,670, while still having much room to still expand through nearby flatlands. Unfortunately, the region is devoid of much plant life, and even today is still recovering despite the government's best efforts from the effects of chemical and biological warfare. Nevertheless, the area holds major manufactuing industry and remains an important transport junction due to its rail connections that extend to Jinlu, Heisen-Dumingjia, Ermingtua, Nanjing, and possibly the Southern Line as well. What little greenery there is shelters hot springs at the foot of the mountains and a small forest preserve, of which will be turned over to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources if chosen. The Yuchang River also runs through the city, running the Heiqiao Hydroelectric Dam, which powers most of the city's utilities. It also has its own hospital and pharmaceutical production"
"And finally, there is the town of Ostklippen at 18,980 in the Hualin delta along the coast, which reaches to the nearby salt basin, making good room to expand. The city also has an airport and is served by major shipping dockyards, along with a small offshore oil-drilling industry. The coast has reddish sand due to iron-rich mountains in the surrounding area. Like most cities along the coast, it receives power from the Altreich Nuclear Power Station inland and utilizes two small hydroelectric dams on the basin's walls for additional electrical supply. The Southern Line will also run through the area and smaller rail lines extend to BMS and Heisen-Dumingjia."
He straightened, concluding, "We can discuss what can be offered in exchange once you reach a choice on an area and then proceed with formal affairs from there."
