Our story starts at a large palace on the outskirts of Deminos, the capitol of Garcia. Inside busy with government officials rushing to do either something or nothing at all. In one of the many conference rooms a top secret meeting being held by the President himself and all the major automobile manufactures is held.
President Huan: Gentlemen, a moment please… Here in Garcia we have a very poor population, many still using horse and cart as transportation. The solution - a cheap to buy, run and repair automobile with plenty of room for the family and enough power to cruise on the highways. I have one other request - I will need you to create some sort of Propaganda to help sell the vehicle.
The Basic Rules
Cars must cost under $6500 (@ 0% Markup)
Cars must seat at least 5
Cars must have a minimum top speed of 50 Mph
There will be no hard limit on PU/ET however, keep it sensible - the car needs to be easy to produce
Cars must run on standard leaded fuel
Safety is not a worry and is not a requirement
Please Give Feedback On Rule Additions or Changes
Judging Criteria
Drivability - most citizens have no driving experience, so the car needs to be easy to drive and pretty fool proof
Price - the cheaper the car, the more accessible it is
Service Costs - the car will be ran on a low budget so the cheaper to run it is the better
Fuel Economy - again the car will be ran on a tight budget so the less fuel it needs the better
Reliability - the citizens will be dependant on the vehicle so it needs to be reliable
Practicality - the more the citizens can do with their car the better

Good note, May lower the speed to 50 and safety isn’t to be worried about… At all, The President Huan cares enough to provide his citizens with a car, but not enough for it to protect them if they crash it…
Keep it 75 mph! It’s normal! Also, it could be a requeriment to run on low quality fuel, since it’s what is usually avaliable in this kinds of countries.
The Assen Oost was designed for the farmers of the east part of the Netherlands. It gets anywhere, even with the narrowest of paths. It’s durable, to withstand the heavy and intense use. But most importantly it’s cheap, it can be yours for only $4564(0% mark up in-game) so even the poorest of people can buy it.
Seats five, reaches 100Km/h and uses less than 10L per every 100Km travelled.
All materials selected in the cars production are readily available locally should the U.N. ever feel the need to impose sanctions against Garcia,
Drives safely on tarmac and also drives well off-road should Garcia, inadvertantly, run out of money to pave the nation’s roads and is easy to live with day to day.
And all for the affordable sum of $4,935 AMU’s per car produced!
-A man with a big winter head gets put the vehicle-

Hello from Bozchia, your ally under the same iron curtain, you may recognize us, Velkolepy, from the ultra luxury vehicles we made as coach-building company but all that bourgeoise decadence is gone. We purpose to you your very own Velkolepy design! The 430 Garcia-special, the classic Velkolepy 430 but with modifications for the Garcia market!
We heard that you had dirt roads and didn’t want the cars to go too fast? That’s okay, this thing does 70.41 kph on the dot and can do more if that dirt road is down a hill.
Fuel economy? 7.8l/100kms, If your nation gets blockaded by American pigs, you won’t have to worry about running out of oil.
Safety? Since we tuned the top speed down to 50 mph, we felt that seatbelts would cost too much to add and there is no point of it, that’s money saved!
Easiest car to drive on the market, most of our engineers turned out to be class traitors, however, we kept most people the suspension tuning department, and you’ll see the amazing suspension this has once it arrives and drives!
We added a column-shifter so we could add double bench seats, take the entire family in this 430!
It won’t break down! But, if it does, it will be simple to fix, perfect car!
What are you waiting for buy production rights already! My life depends on it
The vehicle is presented as the first generation of Fuji Clarity - a strong, durable, utilitarian product almost closer to a truck than a car. One of Fuji’s first models, it was designed to be usable in the reconstruction of Japan - and, it turns out, driving over rubble makes a perfect anecdote to driving over rocks and unpaved terrain. With a four-wheel drive option, 1.0 liter pushrod engine producing 41.2 hp. While the vehicle does weigh 2050 lbs, it’s carrying capacity is only limited by its engine - although a stronger 1.5 liter unit is being produced in Japan.

Is off-road capability a concern for the people of Garcia? I’m asking this question because I’m expecting many of the roads there to be paved with dirt and gravel instead of tarmac and concrete.
A decision has been made that the winner of this round will get to host round 2, they will get to decide what will happen to Garcia 5 years after this round, so this will be 1962 - I will add this to the op eventually
A office boy enters the president’s office and hands him a neatly closed letter from japan. It was from Mr. Shimichanga Dinka himself! Mr. Huan opens it to find a prototype ad, signed by hand. This could be the start of a great partnership. He puts the ad on his suitcase before going back to his business.
