It is not well known in the commerical industry. It is licenced exclusively to the British Goverment. John Stevens went to great lenghts to insure that the metal was not being used for Military purposes, in the contract with the goverment, there is a clause that says '''If it is discovered that Steviomium was used in the crafting of aircraft, land craft, or weapons for the purpose of Warfare, this exclusive licence will be nil and void and the British Goverment will forfeit all rights to current stockpiles and future shipments of Steviomium''.'
 
  
With that clause in the contract, the goverment has had to devise other peaceful methods of using the metal. They place the metal in bridges to stablize their structures. In goverement buildings to help prevent collapse due to weather or outside forces. Mixed with steel, placed it on the Tube cars to cut down on the cost of replacing rails and gears.

Steviomium

This rare metal was discovered by John Stevens in the depths of Africa. The metal looks a lot light chromed steel. Its reflective properties when light is shined above it are outstanding. The density of the material is 3 to 4 times the strength of steel.

It is licensed exclusively to the Stevens Corporation, which it primarily uses the metal for small parts. It is not glamorous or fascinating, but this insures that the metal is used for the good of the people and not placed in the hands of tyrannical governments that will misuse the metal to aid their war effort.

Stevioium is crafted into sheets at the mine and then shipped to a port in Africa. Where it is then crafted into screws, bolts, nails and other building materials. Marketed to builders and contractors as Reinforced Steel. Stevioium makes its way into common ordinary places.

John Stevens will not allow the use of machinery into the mine to dig deeper and further for the metal, all Stevoium must be taking out by hand, which is not easily done. The tools used to extract the metal are made of heated Steviomium and workers chip away at the structure inside.

But do not feel bad for the miners, they volunteer and travel from all over Africa to work under the incredibly fair conditions that John Stevens has provided for them. He has used his strength to help build up the village around the mine, moving trees that could never have been moved before, digging foundations that would have taken dozens of men. Implemented a fair and just government made up of Men and Women, something uncommon in the tribal communities of Africa.

Profits from Stevens Coroporation go back into the village, to build up the schools and to educate the young.
