The Socialist Revolutionary Party wins the elections! - September 4625

Image

After crushing down the Muzuz Party, the SRP organised elections, rising into power by a majority and staying alone in the Council of Emirates. Imran Sharif, the leader of the SRP, would become then the Grand Prince of Badara. We've seen the party already starting to organise the political system, specifically leaving Imran Sharif in charge without any elections for his charge. As Sharif said once winning the elections, "We won't have a Grand Prince anymore, being replaced by a Grand Representative and followed by the Representative".

While they're able to start voting for different proposals, the SRP decided to not pass any bill until the Government Reforms Bill of 4625 passes, which will establish the new governance system and change some names. Once it passes, the SRP will hold a meeting to discuss new bills to pass. During this meeting, not only proposals will be suggested, but also they'll decide how the party is going to be organised and decide future plans for the nation and international affairs.

"Badara's history has been changing from theocratic governments to communist regimes of no future. We don't want to be another replacing regime for any of these, we want to be a serious communist regime and we won't allow anyone to stop us this time. If this means constant war and revolution, constant war and revolution should be welcomed in our nation. We'll take any measure to make sure our regime lasts long, if not forever! - Imran Sharif, speech made after the S4625 elections.

The Socialist Republic of Badara is proclaimed! - June 4627

Image

Officially, Imran Sharif is now the Grand Representative (Mandub Kabir) of Badara, with Hassam Al-Kabir of the United Honour being the Representative (Mandub). The role of the Grand Representative is to keep leadership of the nation while the economy and military mainly, are being reformed. While the economy of Badara was already kind of socialistic before Sarif's rule, Sarif and the SRP are planning a more radicalisation of the economy. The military, however, has been kind of obsolete ultimately, leading to the need of re-building the military and training them. The Grand Representative will also have the role of having the last word during national meetings, as the Parliament is only comprised of 99 members, including the Representative, who's not allowed to vote on decisions and proposals made in meetings. In case of a tie, the Grand Representative will decide.

The role of the Representative, as the name says, is only of representing the people. This means that he's responsible for communicating negotiations and show off as representative of the Badaran people in low-priority international meetings. The Representative has got the role of moderating and organising the nation too, making sure everything is in order and to communicate any issue with the Grand Representative. The actual Representative was appointed by the Grand Representative, seeing the potential of Hassam Al-Kabir, being a prominent socialist of the United Honour, the previous ruling party of religious tendencies. While the SRP declares itself as secular, the party holds a religious faction, to not forget the multiple times the nation has been under a theocratic system.

With this being stated, the SRP started a light and short list of economic policies to be implemented, which are being currently voted and programmed to be implemented in the following months, a new motto and flag and are planning to write a new anthem. Alongside these news, Imran Sarif publicly said, "With all the new changes installed in our nation, I'm proud to proclaim Badara as a Socialist Republic, for the people". The Socialist Republic of Badara has been officially installed in June 4627 after a series of reforms and the strong support for the new government.

BADARAN OIL RESERVRES OPEN FOR DRILLING

Minister of Trade and Industry Hassan ben-Canaan announced that the Ministry will not just operate its existing oil producing sites but will spearhead a serious national increase in the production of crude oil. With the nation moving to a mixed economy of public and private ownership of the means of production, the Ministry will open more government run sites and greatly increase the licenses available for corporate development well beyond those outstanding in private ownership during the period of largely publicly run production.

The Ministry is streamlining the license application process so that business interests can rapidly move to develop the Badaran oil reserves and quickly join the government in domestic civilian and military sales and exporting to other nations. Loans are available both from government banks and now from privately owned banks. Foreign investment in Badaran corporations is welcomed up to 49% ownership.

The Minister noted that the biggest single opportunity for foreign corporations in the short run will be those with established international reputations in construction of oil rigs. The rather strict current law on enhanced executive compensation does not apply to foreign contractors or subcontractors providing construction and equipment to oil producing operations. Further such known reputable businesses would be eligible for advances at least on government operated sites unlike most contractors.

Dr. Benasir ben-Hadad, Minister of Finance, has introduced legislation in the People's Assembly to reduce the corporate tax rate from one that she described as confiscatory to one more reasonable. She also is sponsoring legislation that will remove the existing socialist requirements from corporate structure that many believe have hindered the pursuit of profit.

All personnel actually working on oil rigs will be given free passes to festivities surrounding the next annual Mu' Tasim Boat Race between the yacht cubs of Dar as-Salam and Ras el-Haram when the yachts circumvent the island beginning and ending this year in Ras el-Haram.

BADARA HAS FIRST FOREIGN OIL CUSTOMER

At the Book of Blessings Center in Ras el- Haram, Chancellor Mustapha al Jabbar announced the Likatonian Armed Forces(LAF) would be the first foreign customer for Badaran oil. The LAF will be buying 70 mm barrels of oil per annum at market price.

In view of the inquiries being made about oil production, a government task force from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Finance and Justice has been assembled to review outstanding treaties and current law so it can give some clarifying guidance. (BNC notes bookmakers at the Dromedary Casino have given odds on that happening at 8 to 1).

After the announcement, Chancellor al Jabbar joined President Emeritus el-Kassem to open the Al'Samarya camel races where Mahmoud the Majatran is expected to make a triumphant reteurn.

OIL PRODUCTION REPORT

The task force appointed by the Office of the Chancellor from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Finance and Justice to review the outstanding treaties and current law and give some guidance on oil production has reported as follows:

1) Badara itself has no plans to sell the underlying oil fields and reserves to any business interest domestic or foreign or to any other nation. The government does realize capital influx under this policy will be much slower but wishes to insure its citizens are not left behind and its assets are not squandered.

2) Licenses for oil production sites are steadily becoming available. Applications are available in most cities of both islands at the offices of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Licensing fees and royalties on sales will be reasonable. Licensees may sell oil produced at markets of their choosing the law here and elsewhere permitting. Purchasers from nations with free trade agreements may purchase Badaran oil as may other entities specifically requesting permission from the Badaran government as the LAF did. With the current ratifications of the Majatran Economic Association, the merchants of 10 nations may purchase our oil.

3) Badara itself will continue to produce oil to insure a base for domestic civilian and military consumption and for sale on the open market. Badara does not plan to be part of a business entity foreign or domestic buying, selling or producing oil.

4) Licensees may have foreign investment up to 49 %. Only one nation currently has a reciprocal agreement with Badara allowing investment in each others' businesses. The task force suggests a prudent foreign investor would either wants its nation to have an agreement with Badara allowing investment or obtain specific permission from the government.

BADARA WILL HELP HOSNIAN REFUGES FROM LODAMUN

At a meeting of senior managers from the Ministries of Internal Affairs, Health and Social Services, Infrastructure and Transport, and Trade and Industry at the Bactrian Hotel and Casino Conference Center in Dar as Salam, Internal Affairs Minister Abdul Aziz announced the outline of the plan to relocate 250,000 Hosnian refuges from Lodamun in Badara. Ships from Lodamun will bring these Hosnian citizens of Lodamun to the ports of Dar as Salam and Ras el-Haram on the Island of Mu'Tasim. Should there be airplanes carrying evacuees they will land in the capital city. The Ministry of Trade and Industry is searching for some ships able to join in this relocation effort.

In any event, the people from Lodamun will be met at the port or the airport by agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs where they be given directions on how to proceed. Interpreters and case workers are being hired. The Ministry of Health and Social Services is locating temporary lodgings to be made available for the project as well as more permanent housing in the provinces of Al'Fostat and Al'Samarya where it is felt the Hosnian refuges can most easily find a new home. Transportation from the ship or airport, to temporary lodging and to a more permanent location is being arranged by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. The ministry of Health and Social Services will also be systematizing the job opportunities that are available.

The Foreign Ministry has assured Minister Aziz that in the event the Hosnian evacuees from Lodamun wish to become citizens of Badara, their applications will experience no prejudice because of the nature of their arrival. Further, Aziz stated that the outgoing and incoming Presidents and Chancellors and their governments are fully behind this effort to welcome these refuges from danger.

BADARA AND ENIST TALK OIL

At the Salam Akim Center in Bier Qassem, Chancellor Bashir ibn Ortoq announced to capital city business leaders that ENIST, the Istalian oil giant, had requested and been granted permission to be part of the Badaran oil production expansion. ENIST will be permitted to buy oil produced by licensees of the right to extract and sell the oil of Badara. Further, ENIST is permitted to sell goods and services to oil producing licensees specifically including oil extraction equipment, oil rigs, and construction of oil rigs. The Ministry of Justice has determined that the rather stringent Badaran rules concerning enhanced executive compensation and unionization do not apply to ENIST as a supplier of those goods and services.

Further, under current law and treaties, the investors of only one nation currently may invest in licensees extracting Badaran oil but ENIST is specifically granted the right to do so up to a non majority interest. Chancellor ibn Ortoq did note that the government is discussing with the governments of two other nations the possibility of more such arrangements. The Chancellor welcomes the opportunity to work with ENIST on bringing greater prosperity to the nation.

At the buffet the traditional dishes of harees and fareed were included as well as qat tea along with normal buffet fare at the request of the Chancellor.

TRYING TO RELIVE HISTORY

The heirs of Jamal al Sadr, founder of the now public Majatran University of Badara in Bir Qassem, plan to revive the oil producing heritage that was the basis of the family fortune he created many years ago. Professor of Botany at the National Institute of Technology (and husband of the Minister of Justice) Omar al Sadr and his brother Narouz will be incorporating Majatran Leasing Corporation (MLC) which will be purchasing licenses to extract Badaran oil and selling operating rights. Moqtada Kerbogha, uncle of the Minister of Environment and Tourism, will be the initial board chairman and Jamal IX al Sadr, eldest son of Narouz, will be the initial Chief Operating Officer. MLC will be publicly traded on the stock exchange. Narouz al Sadr is of the opinion his family still holds between 12 and 17 leases which would entitle them to licenses at the prevailing fee and royalty rates at the time of acquisition.

Narouz al Sadr and his brother, Professor al Sadr, will also be forming Qat Oil Services (QOS) with Moqtada Kerbogha and his nephew as a limited partnership. QOS will be contracting for providing construction, operating and sales services to licensees. Narouz al Sadr confirmed that MLC will be the most important initial client of QOS. Further he would be the initial managing partner and could not rule out syndication at this point.

All the paperwork for formation of MLC and QOS will be handled by the firm of al-Akim, Aziz, Wallenstein, Bourguiba and Vasilevskii with oversight of drafting documents in the hands of President Emeritus Imaad el-Kassem (known in legal and financial circles for corporate tax minimalization and free floating accountability obfuscation).
