Chernarus (July 23, 2014) — The original Hudson's Bay Company was founded on May 2nd, 1670 and for much of its existence it was largely a fur trading company. From its long-time headquarters at York Factory on Hudson Bay, the company controlled the fur trade throughout much of the English and later British controlled North America for several centuries. In the late 19th century, with the signing of the Deed of Surrender, its vast territory became the largest component in the newly formed Dominion of Canada, in which the company was the largest private landowner. With the decline of the fur trade, the company evolved into a mercantile business selling vital goods to settlers and prospectors in the Canadian West who "quickly introduced a new type of client to the HBC - one that shopped with cash and not with skins"; the retail era had begun as the HBC began establishing retail stores across cities in the prairies. The company operated continuously until shortly after the Infection decimated most of the world's population.
As the human race begins to reassemble its brittle remains, the bartering & trading of furs and other goods is once again relevant and in high demand. As such, our small trader colony in Chernarus, founded & lead by Canadians, represents a reinstatement of the HBC - now titled: The New Hudson Bay Trading Company. In addition to furs, the NHBTC specializes in the acquisition, trading, and delivery of weapons, fresh fruits & meats as well as fishing/camping/cooking/survival supplies.
We are currently assembling our core members and organizing the way we will conduct business. Please note that this colony was established at this time as a foundation for a concept that is dependent on what lays ahead for DayZ such as vehicles and permanent storage. For that, we'll do our best to accommodate all requests until we have an efficient system of communication & fulfillment in place paired with later versions of the game. Please stay tuned to the Trading Post section over the next week or two for information about placing orders & NHBTC policies. We look forward to meeting & working with you all!
