KINGDOM OF MOUNT VEMA
Vema Seamount Territory
Vema Seamount Territory
When people think of Mount Vema or Vema Seamount today, images of water, fishery, royalty and wealth spring to mind. However this unique South East Atlantic territory, is not just a submerged ancient island, once at the surface of the sea which eroded by millions of years of wave action. Mount Vema is a monument, a piece of rock inextricably linked with The Vema Seamount Authority - Peter J. Goldishman who has managed to propel this once overfished and almost forgotten submerged island, to a well-managed and well-regulated fishing ground, and transformed it, to its greatest ever imagined state of wealth and prominence.

Terrain: The Vema Seamount summit substrate is rocky, with phonolite outcrops, bedrock of volcanic ash agglomerates, and calcareous accretions.
Area: The seamount's plateau-like summit is approximately 14 kilometers in diameter, with the highest peak located on the southern flank of the island. However the mean base diameter of the country is about 60 kilometers. Land: About 5% of land will be reclaimed as part of the network of concrete barriers to protect the floating city and key infrastructures from the destructive force of the Southern Atlantic wind and waves.
Area - Comparative: The floating city of Mount Vema will be about 7x3 kilometres including its canals. It will be bigger than other small sovereign states such as the Vatican City of the Holy See, or The Principality of Monaco. But if one includes its territorial waters (200 nautical miles), then Mount Vema is also bigger than The Republic of San Marino, or The Principality of Liechtenstein.

Economy

The Kingdom of Mount Vema has a prosperous economy, based on a comparison of GDP measured at purchasing power parity conversion rates. The Mount Vema real estate although off-plan, is already highly valuable. The 1.6 trillion golles total value of the Kingdom of Mount Vema entire projected property stock and the Vema Seamount territory itself is more than the combined gross domestic products (GDP) of some well-developed countries. This is an economy where the Government buys needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace, and private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions. Firms also enjoy great flexibility in decisions to expand, to develop new products, and lay off surplus workers.
The Vema Seamount territory with its marine life alone is an asset that represents the value of ownership of the Vema Seamount Authority that can be converted into cash as collateral at any time to enable His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government to raise finance to pay for the country’s obligations but the government makes very little use of this option as it forms part of His Mount Vema Majesty’s Reserves and requires the approval of the Sovereign. The annual spending budget is determined by the country’s debt ceiling, signed by the Sovereign every August and announced on the first week of September. But when compared with the country’s total estimated revenues and total asset value, it places Mount Vema and its currency in a very especial place when it comes to purchasing power.
The Mount Vema property market is building on positive momentum that has begun with off-plan sale, although the government only plans to sale initially 10% of all development units and properties that will be built. The rest will be reserved to let, to be used to raise funds to meet liquidity needs. This policy is to maintain a sustainable supply and a healthier market that could result in annual appreciation of between 3 percent and 5 percent.
