The metal is quite valuable, considering so much was used in the construction of it, and we would like it back pls.
The government expands further into the so far abandoned parts of the city. An order is given by the current president, whose name has yet to be revealed, and all of the people in the surrounding towns flock to New Manhattan. New Manhattan would also like to boast that it's the largest city in the world, however we no longer hold the record for tallest building in the world, which saddens me. :/ Emmeria have the tallest building even when your government building existed. Since your government building collapsed, the PHMATU building in Erinaum became the tallest.
There are no abandoned buildings in NM now. PHMA rebuilt the entire city with thousands of ERLUs. There are only occupied and unoccupied buildings.
Also, PHMA requires New Manhattan to sign a treaty. The conditions include:
Pan-Hera Moderate Axis-New Manhattan Address of Hostilities, Property and Trade
Article I: Property Tax for reconstruction costs.I.a Since PHMA rebuilt the city free of charge (up to now), purchasers of these buildings must pay a tax of 9.5% to the PHMA.
I.b All investors renting a space must pay a 4.5% tax to PHMA within a term of 20 years, in which time the bill will expire.
I.c Refusal to pay these taxes will result in PHMA foreclosure. Foreclosure will occur in 5 years if the treaty is not signed by the time and date of foreclosure, which will occur at 0:00, January 1, 2073.
I.d These taxes are exempt for New Manhattan government assets, foreign assets and international trade assets.
I.e Full PHMA access to tax returns regarding taxed property. Failure to comply will result in the annulment of Article II.
I.f The tax rates will expire in 20 years.
I.g New Manhattan has 5 replies to respond, and if this time runs out, then New Manhattan may agree at any point within the foreclosure period, but New Manhattan landowners or those renting private space will be taxed an additional 0.025% for every month (30 minutes real-time) that you do not respond within this period. The taxation period of 20 years cannot be adjusted if the Treaty is ratified outside of the 5-post limit.
Article II: Transfer of a large source of metal to the State of New Manhattan. (Aside from the metal structures of and within all of the buildings in NM, from which the wall's metal was extracted from, and factories created on the outskirts of New Manhattan to aid in production speed, the resource is untouched.)II.a In order to receive the metal scrapped from the wall that once surrounded the city, New Manhattan must agree to not build a metal wall around the city.
II.b No payment will be required or requested for this, only the agreement to condition II.a.
II.c Refusal to obey article II will null any transfer of the metal to New Manhattan, and the metal will be owned by the PHMA. Article I's taxes will also increase by 1.5% in each sector.
Article III: Hostilities are ended between New Manhattan and PHMA.III.a Due to "unnecessary and brutal" actions used by the Teleri Military, the State of New Manhattan shall not declare any form of hostilities towards any PHMA Member State.
III.b Unless violation of Article I occurs, the PHMA may not declare any hostilities towards New Manhattan.
