Manon-Maison Communications eyes investment in Kalistani Economy
ImageImage
Manon-Maison Comm (HQ's above), a long time successful Lourennais firm, seeks to supply and cooperate with Kalistani Economy

Following Kalistan's economic recession, Lourennais companies have been in dying nreed to expand economic opportnuites
and services to Kalistan and better the nation's communication sector slowly while Kalistan climbs out of their economic
recession. The company has decided to expand to Kalistan upon the confirmation of the Kalistani Government. Members
from the Manon-Maison Comm. Board of directors have been pushing the company's leaders to start preparing for a move
to Kalistan. According to regular workers in the company, the Board of Directors have spent months perfecting a plan in case
expansion to Kalistan is accepted. The Board has cautiously set out its plan to move to Kalistan in the spring of 4443 following
some economic turn downs faced from the Mordusian civil war and the Kalistani recession. If Manon-Maison do not expand to
Kalistan in an efficient manner, the company could face several loses and significantly impact the Lourennais economy which
seems to already be having some issues. Nevertheless, expansion to Kalistan would guarantee jobs for more than 14,000 people
as a result for the high demand of workers in manufacturing centers and administration centers that are needed for production
and research for the company.

No other Lourennais economy has taken the opportunity to expand to Kalistan since the recession. Prior to the recession, Kalistan
and Lourenne were in major talks to finally solidify peaceful relations, military cooperation and major economic opportunities
however, talks crumbled after the assassination of former Premier Al-Khali, thus the Kalistani recession came to be. The Ministry
of Trade and Industry,and the Ministry of Finance have approved the expansion from Manon-Maison Comm even though the
Lourennais government and the Kalistani government have not reached a consensus on economic deals to date. The move from
Manon-Maison Comm. is expected to encourage other companies to begin thinking on expansion to Kalsitan as well. Uncertainty
still remains on whether expansion will be a success or a drag to the Lourennais economy, yet if the expansion work, work and work
benefits will be available to those who are unemployed and it will be an important boost in both the Lourennais economy and the
Kalistani economy.

After a series of talks between officials from both firms , an agreement was reached to allow Manon-Maison to move to Kalistan. According to print from the Kalistani Republic, "The New Joint venture will become an autonomous division of KalMD, and KalMD investors will capitalize 51 percent of the corporation. Lourennaise tech giants Manon-Maison will supply 49 percent of the capital for the firm. The new spin off will tentatively be called KalMM, and shall operate two manufacturing facilities in the Sulari-Yoshimi corridor.

We hope that this is effectively successful as we would like to see Kalistan expand to Lourenne as well".

If this proves to be profitable for Kalistan, According to the Kalistani Republic, Marks-Bennots explained exactly what would happen if cooperation between Manon-Maison Comm. and KalMN was successful.

Talasor Offensive Begins. Lourennais 1st Fleet attacks Southwest Adubura

Image
The Lourennais Navy in the Surrounding waters of Adubura attacked the final remaining strongholds near the coast

After the encirclement of troops in Adubrua, forces from Lourenne and the Rebellion have now begun to push more troops
towards central Adubura for a final counterattack that will end the Republic's last troops in the area. The final siege of Adubura
came after the Lourennais Naval Bombardment of the coast (read below for details) and a regrouping of rebel troops near
the Aduburan border with Talasor. Lourennais troops prepared a series of small, nighttime attacks to lay out the battlefield for
the ensuing offensive. At 7:56 AM, following the Lourennais night raids, forces of the Republic of Mordusia moved to attack
north Talasor to meet up with forces in the south that had been slowly creeping westward ever since the encirclement of
Adubura. Forces of the rebellion continued to move south from the encirclement, meeting little resistance due to most forces
slowly fighting to escape the encirclement through Talasor. The offensive on the north was originally very successful, but quick
thinking by officers and the high morale of the troops combined with higher tech arms from Lourenne slowed the offensive down
to a halt until it was pushed back. Casualties are beginning to rise on the Republican forces as they desperately try to flee to
no avail, and many predict that there is no recovering from the encirclement. The coast of Adubura has been secured but
heavy fighting is still taking place in areas near central Adubura. Also, in Talasor, troops from the S&S rebellion have reached
the borders of Hosamia. Final resistance is being taken out while Lourennais air support is quickly eliminating supply routes
and enemy camps.

While fighting on the Hosamian-Talasor border commenced,the Lourennais Navy began to attack the coast of Adubura.
Frigates and corvettes from the Lourennais 1st Fleet began to fire their weapons towards the heavily armed coast. After the
hour long attack between the navy and the coastal defenses, the 6th Infantry regiment from the Infantry component invaded
the beaches and overtook the beaches easily after the attack from the fleet.The soldiers within the 6th regiment established
an encampment a few miles from the beaches and have claimed it as head of command for southern operations in Mordusia.
The Northern command of operations in located in the beaches of northern Hosamia. Troops have begun to push into Adubura
and have an objective to meet up with troops from the rebellion in central Adubura. A final offensive is set to be in planning
stage after locations in Talasor and Adubura are taken by Lourenne and the Soul & Spirit rebellion.

smart phones that the firm has been aiming for that can securely broadcast a signal, and make calls via the internet,
as well as allow voice and video conversations, securely store credit card information locally, and allow people to use
apps. These requirements were sent to Manon-Maison Headquarters in Thiers for evaluation and resource availability.
After a thorough search in the company's records, information for long-lasting battery life, secure internet connections,
and excellent voice connection were found and immediately sent to KalM headquarters in Sulari. The data and information

together. Our new Model X will be a smart phone that will improve Kalistan's and Lourenne's capabilities on the high tech

industry and market. " CEO Michelle Marks-Bennots is set to travel to Thiers in regards to discuss expansion of KalMM into

Troop advancement halts in Mordusia, Officials begin to seek for peace.
Image
Lourennais troops have set up defensive points until Mordusia officially surrenders

Since the Talasor offensive that Lourenne carried out in Mordusia, troops and militias from the Mordusian government
have ultimately been weakened to the point of no resistance. Troops from Mordusia were now only focused in Hosamia,
the last sections of Mordusia under Mordusian control. Troops from the Soul and Spirit Rebellion met up with Lourennais
troops in Northern Talasor, eastern Sammodra, and Northwest Adubura.

Troops set up defensive lines and planned constant reconnaissance of the areas where encampment was located. The
Lourennais Navy has been sent back to Parmentier, Outannais where they will be on a short 'break' and will return to action
with Naval Training with the Dorvisch Navy and the Keymonite Navy.

The Lourennais infantry component have spent time training some of the soldier from the Soul and Spirit Rebellion while
confirmation on a cease fire is given to Lourenne. The Ministry of Defense in Eroncourt has stated that Lourenne will not begin
a new offensive in Hosamia due to various reason ranging from fatigued troops and the changing weather. Lurennias military
officers and commanders in Mordusia have indeed prepared an offensive, but will not enact it unless the Mordusian government
refuses to surrender and end the civil war. Lourennais officials are ready to begin peace conferences and final agreements in order
to finalize the war and return to Lourenne. Military production is expect to begi nin Lourenne after the end of the war as troops
have claimed to have experienced faulty equipment during battle in the earlier stages of the civil war.
