State Chancellor enters the murky water of Beiteynu-Luthori row
July 5226

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - State Chancellor Jörg Hohmann joined Foreign Minister Kaleb Eichhorn, and Defense Minister and Inspector-General of the Armed Forces of Dorvik Generaladmiral Frederich Belar to discuss the on-going situation between Luthori and Beiteynu. The State Chancellor noted that the situation was confusing and the information related to the assassination of the former Beiteynu Prime Minister was limited at best. "The assassination of any foreign official is strongly condemned by this situation appears to be spinning and without wheels. I applaud the efforts made by those interest in peace but quite frankly, I think we're all a little concerned that the situation might end poorly without oversight." The State Chancellor recommended that the World Congress pick up the matter and lead an investigation into the matter. "Should Luthori be complicit with the assassination of a foreign official it is a grave violation of international law. In the event that they are found to have flaunted international law in such a way, they should be harshly dealt with and made to make reparations' to Beiteynu. That is a big "if"." The Foreign Office recommended all parties show restraint and settle the matters diplomatically, if they cannot FM Eichhorn recommended the World Congress as a neutral mediator.

The presence of the Inspector-General of the Armed Forces, Generaladmiral Frederich Belar, prompted some to ask if Dorvik would involve itself in any combat operations should tensions continue to rise. "I can say this without exception. Dorvik will not tolerate armed conflict on Artania without attempts to solve the situation diplomatically beforehand. Luthori has long been a sort've "pariah" in Artanian affairs and we sincerely hope that whatever the situation is, they do what it takes to make it right and provide relevant intelligence and information to the world community before it escalates further." A reporter questioned the Inspector-General about the Dorvish relations with Beiteynu and the Generaladmiral shrugged. "We've always maintained cordial relations with the Beiteynuese people and government. We're naturally focused on our own backyard, that being Artania, but none of what was said here today stands for Luthori alone. The State Chancellor, the Foreign Minister and I have all the expectations that should Beiteynu possess information and intelligence that would resolve this issue, for better or worse, they should provide it to the World Congress and the world community."

Markets across Artania took a downturn on the announcement that the Luthori House of Commons was debating sanctions and reaction to Beiteynu.

Dorvik welcomes a new Dundorf, aims to increase share in the oil/natural gas market.
June 5240

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - State Chancellor Jörg Hohmann expressed content with the recent revival of Dundorf as a democratic nation. "For several years our fellow brothers and sisters in Dundorf have lived under the yoke of communist, socialist and totalitarian regimes that have oppressed its people. We welcome the revival of a democratic Dundorf." Over the past several years the Dorvish government has focused on rebuilding close ties with many nations, notably nations in Artania who wish to seek greater Artanian cooperation. The Dorvish economy has continued a slow, but steady growth due to the increased Artanian-based trade, where Dorvik sees a significant amount of its trade-based GDP from. Foreign Minister Kaleb Eichhorn, who spent the first several years in office building trade ties with nations such as Lourenne, New Englia, Ostland and others, announced that he intends to reach out to Dundorf to develop a new spirit of cooperation between the two nations and focus on the development of trade ties and working towards securing a new future with Dundorf. Some within the Dorvish government hope to see a revival of the Artanian Union perhaps in a more muted form from its past but the State Chancellor has largely remained tight lipped regarding a reforging of the AU.

The Dorvish government has continued to expand cooperation with New Englia following the November, 5229 deal which saw NTVS sign a medium length deal with New Englia involving the importation of liquid natural gas. Following the crisis between Deltaria and Trigunia sometime ago, the Dorvish have stepped up their production of oil and liquid natural gas to ensure that supplies are fed to Artania and other close allies in addition to establishing a more robust reserve in the event of future crisis. Minister of Trade and Industry Niklas Seidel has announced that the Dorvish government has developed a framework for a new treaty-type document which will give greater access to the import of Dorvish-based petroleum products in the often tightly controlled world of Dorvish oil and natural gas. The Dorvish government has largely remained aloof of selling oil and natural gas abroad but the recent crisis with Trigunia and Deltaria prompted the Dorvish government to take a greater stake in the international market. The Natural Resources Technical Management Corporation has announced the establishment of three new sea-based oil and natural gas refineries based off the northern shores of Dorvik to continue to develop the maritime oil fields of the nation.

Dorvish-Dundorfian cooperation the sign of a new era?
September 5251

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - Dorvish Foreign Minister Kaleb Eichhorn welcomed the Dundorfian ratification of both the Dorvish Trade Association and Economic Pact and the Dorvish-Dundorfian Strategic Partnership Agreement. The Foreign Minister was present at the formal signing of both treaties in addition to the State Chancellor, the King and Kaiser as well as other Dorvish officials. State Chancellor Jörg Hohmann called the treaties historic and the treaties will help shape the future of the continent "...for the foreseeable future." The most notable being the Dorvish-Dundorfian Strategic Partnership Agreement which greatly enhances the provisions of the DTAEP and places greater emphasis on trade between Dundorf and Dorvik as a whole. State Customs Administration officials in Miktar and Largonia have already cited increased trade-related traffic from Dundorf and an uptick in Dorvish-based products and services being trade and sent to Dundorf. Trade and Industry Minister Niklas Seidel noted that the Dorvish markets experienced a significant amount of growth since the treaties were signed and noted that the treaties have been vital to the "revival" of a dormant economy of the Kingdom. The Dorvish are also provided the chance to conduct their typical sale of military equipment as the provisions of the Dorvish-Dundorfian SPA provide for a joint airbase located in southern Dundorf where the Dorvish have begun training and providing assistance to the Dundorfian military.

The potent combination of the Dorvish and Dundorfian economies have provided both markets leaps and bounds over the past several years. It has also spurred an increase in Artanian-based trade.

Dorvish government approves construction of new nuclear power plants in Dundorf
August 5254 (Backdated)

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - Foreign Minister Kaleb Eichhorn announced that the Dorvish had come to agreements with the Dundorfian government to construction 3 new nuclear power plants located in Dundorf. This come following the announcement that Dundorfian government wanted to re-invest in nuclear power. State Chancellor Jörg Hohmann welcomed this news. Dorvik has remained one of the world leaders in nuclear energy and nuclear power generation and has been for quite sometime. "Clean sustainable energy that can be produced and brought across Dundorf is good for them, good for Dorvik, good for Artania and good for the world. We must do what we can to protect our environment and ensuring that people have access to low-cost, clean energy is paramount to that mission." The Dorvish's state-owned Natural Resources Technical Management Corporation will be responsible for the construction and assisting in operations of the new plants.

The NTVS has offered their expertise in construction of the three new plants, one located in Julstoch and the others by Kernbau AG. Kernbau AG is a subsidiary owned by the NTVS that is responsible for the construction of nuclear power plants. Chief Engineer Dr. Eveline Diederich noted that the plants would be constructed by Kernbau AG but would ultimately be turned over to a new corporation setup by the Dundorfian and Dorvish governments for its operation; the corporation named Dundorfian Nuclear Power Company (Dundorfian: Atomkraftwerk AG) which will be partially owned by the Dorvish NTVS in addition to the Dundorfian government and potentially private entities. Dr. Diederich noted that the Dorvish had contracted with several Dundorfian-based corporations to assist in the construction of the new plants. "We're utilizing a majority of Dundorfian-based labor and management, we've contracted with several dozen corporations to assist Kernbau in these projects." The projects, expected to create at least 2,500 jobs, albeit temporarily, will be a boon for both the Dorvish and Dundorfian economies.

In another boon for Dorvish "Atomdiplomatie", Dorvik and Kundrati agree on uranium and new nuclear power plants
August, 5256

Kundrati - Incoming Foreign Minister Felix Priesner announced that the Kundrati government had contacted the Dorvish government regarding assistance with the mining of the uranium in Kundrati. Uranium mining remains a hot-topic issue across the world and some nations feel that its use could be problematic, as well as the costs and risks associated with extraction. The Dorvish government offered the assistance of both private and state-owned help, the project being overseen by the Dorvish state-owned Natural Resources Technical Management Corporation, better known as the NTVS. The NTVS was known in its early years as two corporations: the Dorvish Oil Company and the Dorvish Mining Company, the two merged and became the state-owned Natural Resources Technical Management Corporation and it has been a force for the Dorvish economy since its inception. The NTVS is responsible largely for the oversight and management of Dorvik's material resources and nuclear power operations and is divided into subsidiary companies that are largely state-owned but have private investment and involvement. Starting in over the late spring, early summer of 5256 the Dorvish and Kundrati government began discussing the possibility that the Dorvish government and Dorvish corporations would be interested in developing the uranium mining industry in Kundrati: the Dorvish government and private sector was interested.

Following these talks the Dorvish government placed the NTVS in charge of the operation and developed a multi-prong plan to develop an extraction operation in Kundrati, develop nuclear power in Kundrati as well as assist in the development of infrastructure around the NPPs and other places in Kundrati. This month, July 5256, the NTVS announced their full plans. CEO of the NTVS, Konstantin Huwyler, announced that Dorvik would begin construction of two nuclear power plants in Kundrati with the option for at least 2 more as agreed upon by the Dorvish and Kundrati government. The construction of these would be overseen by Kernbau AG, an NTVS subsidiary, and would contract with notable Kundrati construction and management corporations for the construction of the the plants. In his announcement he stated that the NTVS would contract with a majority of Kundrati labor and would be partnering with Dorvish and Kundrati colleges and universities to prepare programs for workers, management and executives for the management of these NPPs. Huwyler noted that the NTVS would be setting up the "East Power Company" (Dundorfian: Energieversorger Ost) to be responsible for the management of the 4 plants, this would jointly owned by the NTVS and the Kundrati government and companies, should they desire. EVO would also have a mandate that it hire a majority of Kundrati citizens.

Huwyler, who handled a similar project in Dundorf only a few years ago, noted that the development of a new labor market in Kundrati was essential to the success of both the project and the wider use of peaceful nuclear power in the world, and Artania. The extraction of the uranium will be handled directly by the NTVS through both state-owned subsidiaries of NTVS, private Dorvish mining corporations as well as contracting with Kundrati mining companies to handle the extraction. Huwyler noted that the Dorvish government had signed an agreement with the Kundrati government that the uranium mined would be utilized for peaceful purposes only and would largely be used in the construction and operation of the Kundrati NPPs. The CEO went on to expand that the Dorvish would be setting up, constructing and contracting parts out regarding the infrastructure related to the transport and security of the nuclear power plants and the uranium mining. "We're going to make a direct investment in the areas of our mining in addition to the new power plants that are going to be setup. We'll be building new railways, railway stations, erecting roads and facilities meant to house and disperse the power. We're going full throttle with this: the Kundrati people stand to benefit from their natural resource luck."
