I mean we can buy both, or anyone who has a large manufacturing indrusty and vehicle production can always use our steel*Coughs in PenguinLandian*
No, but seriously we probably have spare warehouses full of it by this point.
You generally don't make planes out of steel.

It's more for general use, in terms of powering manufacturing, as I said it can be any vehicle or even just consumer goods.
Also, we have some small aluminium manufacturing going on as well, although nowhere near export level.
Just a grain? I eat three bowls of rice a day :P
I made one ages ago which was basically an A350 specifically for places like Norstham in the far corners of the isles to places like Gael or Argus.
That is at least three times as many as I eat.
So I'm currently in the planning stages as to how to present my airline companies in this dispatch:
Aerospace Infrastructure
Overview of the Private Aircraft Use and Ownership
Aerospace is an important part of the Alteran economy and life for its citizens, particularly
amongst the middle classes, where private aeroplane ownership is relatively commonplace.
The aerospace infrastructure in Altera has been developed over the years to service this wide
ranging and complex part of society.

- Since the first airport was opened in 1921, air travel captured the nation's imagination - leading to the long-term research and development of communities that centre around, or incorporate, features of air travel.
As of 2017, it is estimated that there are over 90,000 aircraft registered and kept in Altera, but less than 5,000 of these are kept by charter or other types of airline. The high number of aircraft kept in private ownership is likely down to two main points - national investment in aerospace infrastructure and the societal fascination in aircraft.
In Altera, there are three main types of infrastructure developed that centre around privately or commercial owned aircraft:
Fly-in Communities
Communities that, although still connected via road and rail, utilise light aircraft to commute to larger towns and cities for workAirport Cities
Cities that have grown around an airport, providing services such as air cargo, logistics, offices, retail, and hotels - as well as shops and accommodation for those who are employed directly and indirectly by the airportAerotropolis
Cities designed and built from the ground up - with the airport and aerospace infrastructure at the commercial core
- Whilst the mechanics and ideas behind the airport cities and aerotropolis have been copied or replicated across the region, Altera remains one of the few countries to fully embrace this concept.

Fly-In Communities
-

- A residential fly-in community, also referred to as an airpark or aeropark, is an urban space - usually very dozen miles away from the nearest town or city, that centres on aeroplane ownership. The word can also refer to a community specifically designed around an airport where the residents each would own their own aeroplane which they park in their hangar usually attached to the home or integrated into their home.
A fly-in community features one or more runways with homes adjacent to the runway. Many fly-in communities feature a variety of amenities, such as golf course, equestrian facilities and more - and thus usually cater for affluent middle or upper classes. Residential airparks or fly-in communities are usually privately owned and restricted to use by the property owners and their invited guests. Most do not include commercial operations or businesses, although some usually offer a small supermarket. The communities have also become a niche real estate market, with some firms dedicated solely to these developments. One such company is Aero-Tec, who own over half of the airparks in Altera.
The Living With Your Plane Association estimates that there are at least 170 residential airparks in Altera.

- Airport city is a term for an "inside the fence" airport area including the airport (terminals, apron, and runways) and on-site airport businesses such as air cargo, logistics, offices, retail, and hotels. The airport city is at the core of the aerotropolis, a new urban form evolving around many major airports.
The airport city model recognises that an airport can do more than performing its traditional aeronautical services, evolving new non-aeronautical commercial facilities, services and revenue streams. Airports are now routinely targeting non-aeronautical revenue streams amounting to 40–60% of their total revenues. Industry leaders and researchers share best practices on non-aeronautical revenues for airports at conferences and in literature, including refereed literature.
With airports typically surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of hectares of undeveloped land that acts as an environmental buffer for nearby residents, it has been recognised that airports are sitting on a potential goldmine of real estate opportunities.
Office blocks, hotels, convention centres, medical facilities, free trade zones and even entertainment and theme parks can be built to generate new sources of revenue for the airport operator and make the airport a business or tourism destination in its own right.
The airport city concept consists of a number of logically combined elements that reinforce each other. Services and facilities are designed to guide travellers easily through the airport process. Access is key for passengers, cargo, businesses, and residents, many of whom work in the airport city.
Aerotropolis

- The concept of the aerotropolis first came about in the 2000s by Ainslie-born philosopher Arthur Wanely. He derived that airports have evolved as drivers of business location and urban development in the 21st century in the same way as highways did in the 20th century, railroads in the 19th century, and seaports in the 18th century. The engine of the aerotropolis is the airport and it is air routes which offer firms speedy connectivity to their distant suppliers, customers, and enterprise partners worldwide. Some aerotropolis businesses are more dependent on distant suppliers or customers halfway around the world than those located nearby. As economies become increasingly globalized and reliant on air commerce for trade in goods and services, the speed and agility aviation provides to long-distance movement of people and goods generate competitive advantages for firms and places. In the aerotropolis model, time and cost of connectivity replace space and distance as the primary metrics shaping development, with "economies of speed" becoming as salient for competitiveness as economies of scale and economies of scope. In this model, it is not how far, but how fast distant firms and places can connect.
The aerotropolis encompasses aviation-dependent businesses and the commercial facilities that support them and the multitude of air travellers who pass through the airport annually. Airport-linked businesses include, among others, time-sensitive manufacturing, logistics, and e-commerce fulfilment; high-value perishables and pharmaceuticals; retail, sports, and entertainment complexes; hotels; conference, trade, and exhibition centres; and offices for businesspeople who travel frequently by air or engage in global commerce. Clusters of business parks, logistics parks, industrial parks, distribution centres, information technology complexes and wholesale merchandise marts locate around the airport and along the transportation corridors radiating from them. As increasing numbers of aviation-oriented firms and commercial service providers cluster around airports, the aerotropolis is becoming a major urban destination where air travellers and locals alike work, shop, meet, exchange knowledge, conduct business, eat, sleep, and are entertained often without going more than 15 minutes from the airport.
Some aerotropolis have arisen spontaneously, responding to organic market forces with a lack of planning and of appropriate surface infrastructure creating bottlenecks and other inefficiencies. Principles of urban planning and sustainability are essential to the creation of a successful aerotropolis, as is stakeholder alignment. Governance entities aligning airport management, airport-surrounding communities, and city and regional officials with local business and economic development leaders should implement aerotropolis planning to achieve greater economic efficiencies and more attractive and sustainable development.

I'm thinking having a table with three columns and multiple rows. In each cell will be (in descending order) the company logo, name, tail art/example livery and a few details about the airline.
What do you think? What information would you like to see? I'm thinking CEO, fleet size, most popular routes, airline type, etc. Any other suggestions? I'm thinking of doing this to save me having to create a who dispatch per airline - something I might do at a later date.

You might want to put the livery picture at the end; unless it and the logo are not too crowded at the top (on the mobile they will obscure the airline name a bit).
A safety record and service quality rating might also be interesting.

Oh god. My macbook has officially shat itself. I accidentally dropped it off the bed last month and now it literally won’t work for more than a minute or two. At least it was courteous enough to wait a little bit for me to already start looking for other, (cheaper) laptops :(
Today, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, is also my birthday. I got a toolbox and a wooden chest, real neat stuff. Anyways I'm probably going to continue refining my factbooks, I hope to get the basic stuff finished before school starts up again.

are you using a macbook for specific mac only apps? Im that "PC master race guy" but i at least had the chance to use Mac for a year or two so i can understand why some people stick with it
Alteran Republics, Thepenguinland, and Martenyika
Not really, so that’s partly why I’ve been wishing I didn’t get a MacBook in the first place honestly. I got it before going to college in like 2013 and racked up a steam library, a lot of which has been a chore to run, especially Cities Skylines (with mods), Mount and Blade Warband, and even Hearts of Iron IV. I imagine I can get something that can run these or possibly more games well enough, cheaper than a new MacBook.
That's fair. I was required to use Mac desktops in a video productions class i took in highschool and both years i took it i had to deal with the Mac system. I was able to learn how to use it, but i was so glad when i could come home to my nice PC
Thepenguinland and Martenyika
It's a deal!
Why do i do this to myself. I have essentially doubled the size of this document just to include more bureaucracy and guidelines in case any other nations wants in on that 4P trade
This document solidifies that the free nations residing in the Four Passages sea zone, in the western parts of the North Mesder Sea, agree to allow the free movement of persons and commerce within the sea zone.
Member states that violate the terms of this agreement shall be subject to ejection from the treaty and no longer be privileged to its freedoms and protections as described in Article 8.
This document was signed and ratified; July 15th, 1996
Section 1:
-Citizens of nations that have signed the FCTA will be able to move freely between member states. Individuals are still subject to their home countries citizenship laws and jurisdictions. Any person not claimed as a citizen by one of the member states, is not protected by this treaty.
-It is the responsibility of each member state to inform other members states of the arrival of people from outside states, and it is the responsibility of each member state to pass laws requiring private transportation services to provide them with that information.
Section 2:
-Citizens who have an ID issued by a member state shall not require a passport to travel between member states. Passports will be required if traveling into or out of the Four Passages Sea Zone. In the case of an expired ID, a member state marked passport will be considered a fair form of ID.
-If the person has no valid ID or Passport, they may be subject to detention in a local government building until their identity can be confirmed. A person cannot be detained for more than 48 hours, but still may not be permitted free travel until proper identification can be provided. Temporary IDs can be issued for confirmed citizens.
-Individuals without identification are subject the the laws of the country in which they are currently. As such, punishment for any infractions is determined by the member state until such time as the identity can be confirmed. Detention can be indefinite in the case of no identification.
Section 3:
-Persons that have been considered flight risks, or potential threats to any one member state's national security is subject to free travel revocation and suspension of freedoms granted by the FCTA. Persons are subject to individual member states travel policies and restrictions. Such as disallowing firearms or food items from accompanying a private individual on their mode of transportation.
-Exceptions to members states travel restrictions can be awarded by government approval. This includes confirming the purchase of items in question and allowing them commercial access under the free movement of commerce. This does not apply to personal items smuggled or bought illegally. Items that are not confirmed by a member state shall be subject to confiscation until further notice.
-If the transportation of any personal items should be deemed unacceptable by a member state into their own borders, they can file an Item Denial Form. This form will allow the member state to detain the items for the duration of travel, and must be approved or denied by a vote of the FCTA board. If a form is approved, they item(s) will be withheld for the duration of travel, and returned on departure. If a form is denied, the items must be returned to the individual.
-A member state may exercise limited use of emergency seizures of property, should they have reason to suspect the illicit use of the items in question after return to the individual. Upon seizure, the member state must file an Item Seizure Form. This form is similar to an Item Denial Form, and must be approved by the FCTA board.
Section 1:
-Conduction of Federal, Private, Domestic and International trade shall not be hindered within the jurisdiction of the FCTA. The FCTA shall allow the free movement of commerce and goods the encourage development and growth in member states.
Section 2:
-Tariffs on trade shall not exceed x0.0025 the price of goods between member states. In addition, tariffs on agricultural and medical items are prohibited. This is to allow goods to flow freely between member states, and to allow food and medicine to be more accessible to citizens in the FCTA Zone. There shall be no tariffs on private commerce, nor the movement of privately owned goods.
-Goods being sold in member states are subject to the quality and standards of that state. If goods are made in one state and are being sold to another, but the latter has different standards than the manufacturer, then the receiving member state is permitted to induce modifications on products to make it legal to their standards. Aftermarket modifications are permitted should the government or private company approve the changes.
-Goods may be banned by the receiving nation should an agreement not be reached by the parties above.
Section 3:
-The free movement of goods shall only be impeded in cases of any national emergency, suspicious individual, or in the case of suspicious transactions. Free movement of commerce is also prohibited for those who have had their freedoms of the FCTA removed by their home nation. People prohibited from free movement of their person, are also prohibited from free movement of commerce.
-Member states are permitted to determine the legality of items within their own borders.
-Items must be approved by member states for travel if it is suspected it may violate sovereign travel laws. Items bought in one country to be transported to another may be classified as commerce or a personal item.
Section 1:
-In the case of no one currency being established among members of the FCTA; currency exchanges shall be conducted as normal.
Section 2:
-In the case of a single currency to be used by members of the FCTA; a single nation shall be selected to be the base for a currency. Then over the period of 5 years, the new currency shall be implemented to replace the older national currencies.
Section 3:
-In the case of new member states joining after a new currency has been adopted; a transitional period of 8 years will phase out their currency to the new unitary currency.
Section 1:
-Member states shall agree to a mutual extradition treaty, to extradite wanted criminals or suspects in an investigation. Any country can request an extradition, but any member state can refuse. Any individual that is wanted by one country, can be considered a criminal by other member states. A member state may then arrest and try that individual within their jurisdiction.
-Failure or refusal to rightly extradite individuals under this article will be subject to investigation under Article 8.
Section 2:
-Member states may request the aid of other signatories in the arrest of an individual. If a member state were to accept, the person of interest shall be extradited to the country that asked for assistance. Member states may also offer assistance in the capture of an individual.
-The use of military units is prohibited in the extradition process. Police or para-military shall be the only ones to extradite wanted persons. Military units shall only be permitted in the case of terrorists or high risk individuals such as politicians or leaders of rebellious factions.
-The FCTA board can regulate if a member or associate state is required to extradite individuals, or if a state has the authority to arrest and detain individuals. The ones who designate these individuals are the member states. If one state declares an individual a person of interest, it has a claim to request their extradition or to arrest them. Further actions will be overseen by the FCTA.
Section 1:
-Member states and associate states shall have a number of representatives to act on the board of the FCTA on their nations behalf. They shall be allowed to vote on new legislation, admission and ejection of states, and the next president of the FCTA.
- New representatives can be sent at any time from member and associate states, should their people or government elect another individual to the board. Representatives have no term limits.
Section 2:
-The board of representatives of the FCTA shall be elected by the government or people of each member and associate state.
-Each member state may have 2 representatives, appointed by the government.
-Each associate state is limited to 1 representative, appointed by the state.
-Should a representative die while on the board, or forcefully removed by their parent country, their parent country can hold an emergency election to replace the representative or wait until the next election cycle to elect them. In the meantime one of their fellow representatives can vote in their stead.
-A vacancy can only be allowed for no more than 90 days before that vote is rescinded. The vote remains such until such time as the vacancy is filled.
Section 3:
-The board is lead by a single president who serves a 3 year term as the head of the board. A single representative may be reelected as many times as they wish. If the president is removed from the board by their home country in an election, they may finish their term should the number of days left in their term equal 300 days.
-Should the president die while in office, or be forcefully removed by their parent country, then an emergency session is called to elect a new president.
Section 1:
-Any nation that resides within the four passages sea zone may apply for membership, even if they were not a member during the initial founding of the FCTA. The application process involves submitting a formal request to join which shall be reviewed by the current member states representatives on the FCTA board. A vote will commence in a period of 180 days after submission of an application. Perspective new member states must receive a 60% vote in favor to join.
- An applicant that receives the number of votes required will be admitted into the FCTA after a period of 120 days. This is to allow time to change laws and regulations to comply with FCTA standards.
Section 2:
-Should an application not receive the requisite number of votes, they may re-submit their application after a period of 550 days. A perspective member may re-apply as many times as they wish. Each new applicant may apply for a single recount if they believe the number of abstentions could change in the intervening 550 days. 50 days after a review request is submitted the board will reconvene and vote again. Should the review vote also fail, the applicant may no re-submit a review request.
Section 1:
-Nations that reside outside the Four Passages sea zone may apply for an associate status. The associate status will grant certain privileges but not the full guarantees of full member states.
-Associate state status can only be granted to nations that border the North Mesder, Mesder, South Mesder, Argean, and Amber Sea. Nations outside of these boundaries may be granted a special status by unanimous vote by the board of representatives.
Section 2:
-Prospective associate states must submit an application as described in Article 6., Section 1. However the approval votes needed are much more strict. A prospective associate must receive a 75% vote in favor to join. After approval the new associate will expect to receive new privileges after a period of 120 days.
-Should the vote fail, the applicant may resubmit their proposal after a period of 600 days. Each new applicant may apply for a single recount if they believe the number of abstentions could change in the intervening 600 days. 100 days after a review request is submitted the board will reconvene and vote again. Should the review vote also fail, the applicant may no re-submit a review request.
Section 3:
-If an applicant receives the required number of votes to join, then their new privileges and obligations are as follows
Associate states shall be granted all freedoms under Article 1. excluding Section 1, Subsection 1.
Associate states shall be granted all freedoms under Article 2. excluding Section 2.
Associate states are required to follow all Obligations under Article 4.
Associate states will receive only one vote in the admission of new associate states, and no votes in the admission of member states.

-Citizens of member and associate states can be subject to the revocation of their freedoms by their parent country, with concurrence of the FCTA Board by a majority vote.
Section 2:
-Violation of obligations and Freedoms are as follows:
Failure to allow the lawful passage of persons granted freedoms under Article 1.
Failure to prohibit the travel of flight risks and persons of interest between, into, or out of member and associate states.
Failure to extradite persons of interest as described under Article 4.
Taxing items that are exempt under Article 2.
Section 3:
-Member and associate states ejected from the FCTA are required to allow a period of 180 days to allow citizens of other states to be informed of the changes. During those 180 days, the FCTA obligations are still active to the ejected state. After the 180 days, all freedoms are rescinded.
-Individuals who have had their freedoms revoked are subject to standard travel laws of individual nations.Section 4:
-States that have been ejected from the FCTA can re-apply for status after a period of 5 years. In this process, the state in question must receive an 80% vote in favor of re-admittance. Should this fail, then the standard process of application may be followed.
-Individuals who have had their freedoms revoked may re-aquire them after 4 years in the case of board revocation, or as their parent state sees fit to re-instate their freedoms.Member States:
