Vamaj Network picks up global pace, aided by Aldegarian "supercharge"May 5469Sholemberg, Beiteynu - The Vamaj was the Yeudish shipping's solution to 2 crises; both Trigunian and Kafuri situations largely ended up in both of them shooting themselves on their own foot. A new challenge then began rising fuelled by Eroncourt's idealist, humanitarian and eco-friendly policies exerted upon Terra, much to the dislike of petroleum investors such as the likes of notorious tax-evading Hadayim.
Lourenne's influence was so great it even managed to "switch off" the oil and gas industry in Badara.
The network has largely remained Majatran since its foundation by IVO and Hadayim
70 years ago, curiously making Vascania the continent's primary supplier (hence the name "Vamaj") after the Kafuri debacle, Trigunia's pulling out of a distribution deal with Hadayim and Badara's own pivot to other industries.
Eyeing these behaviours as "petroleum idiocy unduly influencing everyone else", Yeudish shipping always had its sights at decentralisation, employing the Beiteynuese Government's deterrence tactics as soon as the energy crisis hit Majatra at the onset of the century.
However, the landscape once again began shifting as Terra entered yet another trade wave by new players: N&D, Badara, Aldegar, Yingdala.
In fact, it is so prominent that even Lourennais companies
recently jumped in on the "momentum" train.

So far, the only Seleyan country in the network has been Alduria; an influence paved by the mutual defence pact with Yishelem.
Now, Aldegar's recent moves have opened up opportunities all across the continent, from Aldegar itself to Gaduridos, Valruzia and even Baltusia and Lodamun, with the Medinat Department looking towards Yingdala and Lourenne by their recently boosted associations with Aldegarian markets.
Lourenne's potential entry to the network may help kickstart the extension of trade routes towards Kalistan, Dankuk and even Keris itself via New Endralon and Kizenia, which admittedly has long been dominated by Trigunian supply.
Handily, coupled with Fort William's influence towards Dolgava and Hutori, these may prove just enough to tip the scales in the northern hemisphere, especially as Kirlawa and Kundrati join forces in the northern seas, breaking the dominance of the Dorvish oil and gas monopoly in the process, as well.
Yingdala represents one of the most strategic opportunities for the network; Tian'an's exponential rise in trade and its proximity to Vascania itself may prove to be the final move in making the entire southern hemisphere decentralised, especially if players from Badara enter the network.

OOC: @Svet and @Hex (Badara), one more treaty for ya
@Louis and @liu, I'd think you 2 joining the network may prove to be the cornerstone to thwart the West's monopoly on oil and gas at the moment since you both have massive influence in Aldegar, but I'm not sure if this is going to make Terra even more boring. I leave it up to you, I'll roll with the punches.
@Weim / @Luis / @Doc / @Imperial - you're more than welcome to ratify and leverage the network if you want to RP oil/gas for yourselves however you like; that's the idea literally of it, you don't need to dig/drill yourselves, you just import more and then refine/export it, like the real world works
@Hyr and especially @Nil - you can use the network as well if you want to increase your exports, technically Kundrati is already a part of it
