Vereenigde Oost Indiesche Compagnie Enckhuijzen

(original language was medieval Dutch, translated to modern English by Leendert Hubertha Stuijt, formerly of Roterdamus, the Seven United Provinces) (now known as Rotterdam, the Netherlands in this dimension)

Greeting to the reader (Lector Salute)

this is an incomplete assembly (compiled papers..?) of the early days of VOICE and its establishment on the continents of our planet. We will attempt to reconstruct how the VOICE satelites (colonies, self started trading posts?) in Nieuw Amsterdam (in this dimension, the USA), Nieuw Zeeland (New Zeeland and Australia), Nieuw Gouda (India), Kaapstad (Dutch Africa), Nieuw Delfte (Ceylon) and its largest eastern posting, Nederlandsch Indie (Indonesia and all adjacent islands).

The reader is requested to furnish dimensional travel postings to this location to attempt to reconstruct the entire history of this very successful trading company, the most successful in the history of the dimensional Dutch world (DW) as it is known today.

The reader is invited to furnish their narrative in local English although submitted drafts in other languages might be translatable by other readers of this missive.

Visitors to this posting from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Ceylon are requested to post how their history was effected by VOICE and successful trading resulted in the DW as it is today.

This is an effort by this dimensional traveler to reconstruct the oral history of the people as it was passed on from generation to generation and will eventually augment the formal history as posted in Enckhuijzen, DW..........
