Okay. When we last left our intrepid FUD forums, there had been a number of polls trying to decide where Tracy Industries has/will have offices around the world.

Unfortunately, all the responses and votes for that are long gone with the old forum. Which isn't a bad thing, because some of the choices put offices rather close to each other, leaving entire huge countries unrepresented. And though we'd thought about offices, we weren't thinking about manufacturing plants - which can be just as crucial.

So, I have a list of proposed places for offices again. In every country where there is an office, there should also be at least one corresponding manufacturing plant, testing ground, something that actually produces parts or whole pieces of technology for Tracy Industries. In only a few cases (such as Washington D.C. or Unity City, Bahamas and perhaps Brussels, Belgium) would there be only the offices and no production plant. (NYC would count among these as it's the HQ city).

Liz has the list of US cities, so I won't bring those up here.

Here's the list I have so far:

Accra, Ghana
Baghdad, Iraq
Beijing, China
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Bogota, Columbia
Bombay, India
Brisbane, Australia
Brussels, Belgium (office only)
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Cairo, Egypt
Christchurch, NZ
Dakar, Senegal
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (office only?)
Havana, Cuba
Hong Kong, China
Istanbul, Turkey
Johnannesburg, South Africa
Kabul, Afghanistan
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Lima, Peru
London, England
Managua, Nicaragua
Mexico City, Mexico
Montreal, Canada
Moscow, Russia
Nairobi, Kenya
Paris, France
Rio de Janiero, Brazil
Seoul, South Korea
Sydney, Australia (office only)
Taipei, Taiwan
Tokyo, Japan
Unity City, the Bahamas (office only)
Vancouver, Canada



Are there any that need to be added? Any you don't like? Any others that need to be "office only"? The manufacturing plants don't need to be in the city itself, but at least somewhere in the country. Which ones should be "planned expansion" (like Nairobi is)?

Let me know!

I would like to suggest Belfast, Northern Ireland as a place for offices and manufacturing. My reasoning is that there is already a long-standing aeronautical manufacturing industry here. Because of the amount of development that's happening here now I can imagine a huge manufacturing plant/testing grounds could be here in reality in the future.

Sounds good, Rain. I'll add it.

Added Toronto as manufacturing only - with Montreal as the corresponding office.

Still haven't heard which plants/offices should be considered for future expansion, or if there are any other places to be added that would be future expansion.

Ideas anyone?

Vancouver, definitely, since it's on the western coast of Canada, which is as wide as the US. And it's close to the US-Canadian border. Since they go to Christchurch so often anyway, there probably should be something there, too. My other choices would probably be Beijing, Belfast, Johannesburg, Lima, Mexico City, Managua, Moscow, Nairobi, Rio de Janiero (but don't send Gordon there during Carnival), and Taipei.

I would presume there are already some kind of offices in London and Paris.

This is the final list, actually, of places that were voted on in the polls. Vancouver is already on it. It's a matter of figuring out which ones are already complete and which are/could be considered "future expansion" or are in final stages of completion.

And if there are places that aren't on the list that should be, please tell me. I've already added Belfast and Toronto.

Okay, we've been trying to figure out where the marine endeavors of Tracy Ind. should be. One such is in San Diego (where Brandon was. It's not on the list, but should be.) Another is Honolulu, and then Christchurch. Rio de Janiero has also been suggested.

What about Tracy Aerospace and Tracy Construction? What else is Tracy Industries into these days? Ideas please, then we can put up a poll if necessary.

Perhaps a branch of Tracy Construction could be a global team working to convert industry in general to greener energy. Like, if Tracy Construction developed the most efficient renewable energy converter technology, and now other companies want to be able to use it, too, for the PR and the money they would save on electricity. It could be a big pioneering thing. The other companies can have the technology so long as Tracy Construction installs and maintains it (a nice money-spinner).

Just a thought off the top of my head. Construction could also be doing extensive work to further earthquake-proof buildings in susceptible areas.

As a philanthropist of the highest order, I think Jeff would invest a lot of money in the environment as well as in space-travel. And through things like construction improving earthquake-proofing, he's secretly do work for IR in the sense that he will be protecting lives through prevention, as well as through his rescue organization when disaster strikes.

Man, I just had the thought that there may be some of Jeff's compatriots that would try to get him to enter into government. I can only imagine the volume of Jeff's "NO!"

What if someone suggested Jeff fill an unexpired Senate seat? Or someone offered Jeff a cabinet post?
