Also published on The Terran Times and distributed internationally

Gongmangdo, Dankuk - The last few weeks have seen a frenzy of activity in the Dankuk State Office, as it immediately initiated operations after the capitol bombing, in coordination with the Pact's peacekeeping force stationed in Dankuk and local authorities which remain loyal to the democratic cause. Authorities have reported that a total of 4 raids in capitol apartments and 3 in locations of interest in the outskirts of the city have resulted in the arrest of 2 individuals indirectly involved in the events leading to the capitol bombing. The investigation by the joint task force will now focus on the Agency's intelligence in locating and apprehending Captain Woo Seongbin, who's now, by all measures, the country's most wanted man.

"Nothing will stop Dankuk's free elections", the Dankuk State Office's spokesperson stated earlier this morning, "no bombing, no martial laws and no curfews. The Beiteynuese Government and the Pact will punish severely those who stand against democracy in Dankuk, but these are the most extreme measures that will be taken. The Dankukian people will not be punished for the acts of the few, as they deserve to see a shining new day of democracy".

As to the claims of internal turmoil amongst the newly formed factions, the spokesperson commented "it is a healthy sign of democratic debate". They also declined to comment on the status of the pending elections, citing that the election process is not under the oversight of the Beiteynuese Government.

Oil storage facilities in Sholemberg, Beiteynu

Yishelem, Beiteynu - Towards the end of 5272, the Beiteynuese Government entered into negotiations with the Trigunian government in increasing oil quotas imported for the ever increasing demands of the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot. As the MOIT reports, the negotiations reached a fruitful result earlier this week, with the MOIT signing a deal with the Trigunian National Petroleum Company on an additional 40K b/d for Beiteynu and 80K b/d for Pontesi, with the executive summary indicating a quota for Dankuk upwards of 100K b/d, once the situation stabilises and the Dankukian market opens up to the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot, thus imports in Dankuk will be explored later in 5273 or 5274.

Sources at the Dankuk State Office have cited that the negotiations between the Beiteynuese and Trigunian governments on oil distribution to the Provisional State of Dankuk also sparked some heated discussions between Trigunia, Kundrati and the Dankukian political factions on the accumulated Dankukian debt, an issue which evidently represents a thorn in the west's influence in the affairs of Dankuk, which is currently experiencing increased political turmoil as elections are now delayed month after month and the Agency initiates a national manhunt of those responsible for the capitol bombing last year.

The new quotas still keep the majority of oil import in the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot from its Majatran allies (Kafuristan, Badara) and Dorvik, with a total of 210K b/d and 180K b/d for Beiteynu and Pontesi respectively. The Beiteynuese Government has stated that it will remain keen on cooperating with a coalition of petroleum exporting nations in the spirit of Beiteynu's international trade and to avoid any isolated incidents impacting the entirety of the markets.

In par with the increase of oil quotas, the Trigunian National Petroleum Company also signed distribution deals with a consortium of Beiteynuese shipping companies. Tadraki Freight Shipping Ltd, Birco, Aristocrat Shipping and Sholemberg Sealines will be bankrolled by Beiteynuese financial institutions - including Tomasadyn National of Kundrati - in increasing their shipping capabilities and operations with a goal of achieving a 11.2% marketshare of Trigunia's oil distribution by 5300, focused mainly in the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot, Majatra and Artania.

Construction of small and medium-sized oil tankers is rumoured to take place in various shipyards of Kundrati.

A rise of Beiteynuese commercial airlines
May 5273 - An editorial into the effects of Beiteynu's 70-year-old international expansion on the exponential growth of commercial airlines and their significant impact in the growth of the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot's member states
Also published on The Terran Times and distributed internationally


A Bei Airlines domestic flight between Beiteynu and Pontesi

Yishelem, Beiteynu - Since 5200 with the first Tzafrir Administration, Beiteynu applied a wholesome foreign policy and international agenda that the country hadn't seen in a significant number of centuries during its Limelight Era, as historians call it. Fast forward 70+ years later, Beiteynu's international network has expanded into more than 30 nations across Terra and across affairs, from diplomacy and trade to full-fledged partnerships and the Pact's military alliance.

Naturally, these borders opening up both ways have instigated an unparalleled growth in Beiteynuese commercial airlines.

Internationalism always brings cultural influences, a financial boost in local markets of interest and an increased level of cooperation, with the latter providing a solid platform for business relations inside Beiteynu's international network of diplomatic friends and trade partners, which the private sector has leveraged to the outmost degree, evident by the deals of the current decade, from the Trigunian oil distribution deal, the uranium contract with Kundrati, to the joint investments into Kundrati's food industry and the 4.22B Beipon Railway Network construction deal with Dundorf, not to mention the significant expansion of defense and technology partnerships between Beiteynu, Pontesi, Istalia, Kundrati and Trigunia as a result of the cooperation platform provided by the Equifund.

Amongst the major players in commercial airlines, Yaldavir has become the go-to for business executives, offering unparallaled luxury in its commercial flights and a robust fleet of private jets and helicopters, with headquarters in Beiteynu, Pontesi, Kundrati, Istalia and soon to open in Trigunia.

Pontesi is a hallmark for the growth of Beiteynuese commercial airlines. With both Beiteynu and Pontesi offering a significant amount of historical sites and attractions and locations of interest, the 2 neighbours saw its citizenry renewing their interest in the ancient and modern history both nations have shared over the course of thousands of years. Demand has been so high that it gave rise to 2 new "cheap" commercial airlines, Beipon Airways and Arevatsag United, a Pontesian based company heavily invested in by Beiteynuese financial institutions. Both companies have steadily increased their flight plans to cover a couple more destinations in midwest Majatra and south Artania that are part of Beiteynu's diplomatic and trade network - though the Beiteynuese Government has expressed some concerns on Deltaria and Jelbe, with their recent political "situations" over the course of the last few decades.

The scene is of course dominated by the centuries-old Bei Airlines and United Medinat, with full coverage in Majatra and providing a significant amount of interconnecting flights to airports in the majority of Beiteynu's network in Artania, Makon and Seleya, with Keris opening up thanks to the renewed relationship between Beiteynu and Trigunia. Keris and Trigunia will eventually become the layover destinations in bridging Dankuk with Beiteynu, seeing as how the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot have almost no connections in mainland Dovani, except on its western shores, including but not limited to Kazulia and Sekowo.

On the other end of the spectrum, commercial airlines from the states of Beiteynu's network have also benefited from the expansion of the borders, considering Beiteynu's unique international agreements, which enable signatory nations to share trade between them via the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot. This renewed interest in Beiteynu as a business and cultural destination has also seen an increase in Yeudi culture interest globally, though without its negative consequences, as the Beiteynuese Government has been observing an increase of anti-Yeudi persecutions in Narikaton and Darnussia. Sadly, Beiteynu has largely disregarded its historical sites and significance over the course of the last 70 years, leading to a heavy exploitation of Beiteynu's tourism industry and endless cases of theft and embezzlement, facts to which the Shlomo Administration has been heavily plastered with from the opposition.

The increase in commercial traffic has also clogged Beiteynu's international airports, infrastructure which hasn't been updated in more than a century, even leading to a plane crash on the ground (!), as a Istalian airliner lost its front wheel while taxiing towards runaway 03 in Bei Lurion International Airport in Tel Bira.

Since 5259, the MOFIN has created a joint task force with the MOIT and the Pontesi State Office in expanding Beiteynu's and Pontesi's existing international airports, with potential plans in constructing 2 additional - 1 in Sholemberg and 1 in Nayfeld (southeast). The joint task force has been in contact with contractors from Dundorf, Kundrati and Trigunia to draft a first report on the project's requirements, which will see its duration span to more than a decade.

Which may see Beiteynu investing more on its commercial airlines, as it enters a new stage of economic growth.

Istalia enters into talks with Beiteynu in joining the Meuhad Medinot
July 5273 - As the Armellini Administration explores its options entering election period in re-solidifying Impero Istaliano's dwindling international presence in diplomacy and trade, following the internal economic and political turmoils after the Third Solentian Civil War
Also published on The Terran Times and distributed internationally

Romula, Istalia - Having a long-standing close partnership for the last 70 years, it's only natural that the Istalian government reached out to its friend and ally on the other "tip" of Majatra, though it's not entirely clear which side approached which, first. It is however evident that the Istalian government has been unable to balance the country's presence in international diplomacy and trade, ever since the Third Solentian Civil War rattled its border, and then damaged its economy, which led to an undeniable political turmoil resulting in the collapse of long-standing coalitions.

While Istalia has been swiftly recovering, it has detached from the joint international efforts it had embarked on with Beiteynu.

Sources at the MOFA have confirmed that the Armellini Administration has indeed discussed in length the possibility of Istalia becoming a member state of the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot, with an Istalia State Office to be established under the direct jurisdiction and supervision of the Emperor, thus ensuring Istalia's sovereignty as Beiteynu would take the wheel on Istalia's foreign policy on diplomacy and international trade, aligning the country with what has already been established throughout the decades: internationalism directly tied with Beiteynu's expanding network of friends, partners and allies, which have been, for the better part of the century, Istalia's friends, partners and allies as well.

Restructure acts hit the Knesset floor
May 5276 - As the Pact disbands, the Agency congregates back into Yishelem, Beiteynu withdraws from the MSDC and the Shlomo Administration decides to realign Beiteynu's policies towards a more Beiteynuese-centric agenda, also abandoning Dankuk's restructure plan
Also published on The Terran Times and distributed internationally

Yishelem, Beiteynu - The Shlomo Administration has surprised the Knesset floor with the introduction of various government restructure and policy realignment acts aimed at redirecting Beiteynu towards a more Beiteynuese-centric agenda. In essence, Beiteynu will continue to focus on its main diplomatic drivers currently in effect for almost 80 years: the accords of Diplomacy, Trade and Partnership.

On one of the most notable changes concerning Beiteynu's foreign policy is the decision to withdraw from the MSDC, Majatra's most recent security and military framework. "We have long viewed the MSDC as an organisation that is not capable of uniting Majatra under a common banner", the MOFA's spokesperson stated earlier this morning, "[...] and similarly to the evident stagnated outcome of the recent rekindling efforts by Luthori on the Artanian Union, as well as the Pact's abrupt disbandment, we believe that considering the lack of national activity towards such an international framework of cooperation is an assertive fact why such unions and alliances are doomed to fail. However, Beiteynu is and will remain internationalist in its central position and will continue exercising its considerable influence to assist, protect and advance the interests of Kafuristan and Istalia, Beiteynu's current close allies in the southeastern region of Majatra".

With the disbandment of the Pact, the MOD will soon announce the recall of its ground and naval troops deployed in foreign stations. In a same manner, the MOFA will release an update of Beiteynu's international stances and the MOIA will coordinate the disbandment of the Agency's headquarters across Terra, with the intention of collecting and moving all records and operational assets back to the Agency's headquarters in Yishelem, with the Agency now to fall under the direct jurisdiction of the MOIA, thus acting as Beiteynu's designated national intelligence agency. With almost 70 years of collective expertise from multiple nations, the extend of the Beiteynuese intelligence's influence, information and global operations have troubled both the Beiteynuese Government itself, as well as Beiteynu's allies, now witnessing the congregation of such extended capability in Yishelem.

"The Agency will continue to coordinate with the respective intelligence agencies of Beiteynu's allies", the Agency's liaison stated.

Government disbands State Offices
June 5276 - Fuelled by the lack of Beiteynuese support in Pontesi, as well as the increasing tensions applied by Liore and North Dovani against the West's and Beiteynu's influence in Dankuk, the Shlomo Administration has decided to officially disband the MOFA's State Offices

- Tzafrir Defense Industries releases details of the Kafuri deal

Yishelem, Beiteynu - The Shlomo Administration - Government Purity Act of 5276 sees, amongst other restructure initiatives of the Beiteynuese Government, the disbandment of the MOFA's State Offices, effectively terminating Beiteynu's oversight of the Pontesi and Dankukian governments. The MOFA declined to comment on the accusations issued by the government of Liore towards the West's and Beiteynu's influence in Dankuk, citing that "Beiteynu has only wanted to liberate and assist the Dankukian people in their pursuit of freedom, democracy and prosperity, ideals which Beiteynu will wholeheartedly support".

As a result of the disbandment of the MOFA's State Offices, the Beiteynuese Government will only advise and assist the Provisional State of Dankuk, should Beiteynu be requested by the Dankukian government to do so. The MOFA will release its recovery and restructure plans for Dankuk to its embassy in Dankuk for independent consideration by the government of Dankuk, hopeful that diplomatic, trade and partnership avenues will remain in effect.

Birco's first small size oil tanker on her maiden voyage to Sholemberg, Beiteynu

Sholemberg, Beiteynu - The first 2 small size class oil tankers for Beiteynuese shipping companies completed their maiden voyage yesterday afternoon by delivering petroleum from Trigunia in Sholemberg. Their construction has taken place over the last 2 years in the shipyards of Kundrati, providing a healthy first boost for its local shipbuilding industry which had stagnated over the course of the last few decades. This renewed boost of manufacturing vendors has began to attract the interest of Beiteynuese defense contractors, with Tzafrir Defense Industries - the premier Beiteynuese manufacturer of military vessels - entering in talks with Beiteynuese financial institutions in establishing a solid foothold of manufacturing operations in the shipyards of Kundrati.

The key player leading the charge on the construction of oil tankers in Kundrati for Beiteynuese shipping companies has so far been Tomasadyn National of Kundrati, which has capitalised on Beiteynu's rising banking and shipping sectors to invest heavily in trade initiatives benefiting local markets in Kundrati.

As per the petroleum distribution agreement, Beiteynuese shipping companies will need to invest heavily in their shipping capabilities to reach the 11.2% marketshare goal by the end of 5300, with plans to construct an additional 12 oil tankers of various size in Kundrati over the next 2 decades.

Tomasadyn National and Ashalon Bank BEIFG have also expressed interest in investing in the shipbuilding industry in Trigunia and Dankuk, as well.
