Kalistan takes Receipt of final Vanuku Arms Shipments
"Order is now complete" Kalistani Defense Minister reports

Port Devon, Kaliburg, Ananto District
March 1, 4411


The Refitting of the Kalistani Military is officially complete. The Kalistani Defense Minister, Philando Santamaria, reported that the last of purchased items from Vanuku's recent sale to Kalistan arrived in port at the end of February, exactly on schedule.

The Defense Minister was ebullient in his praise of Vanuku's work. "We wish to thank the Vanukean firms responsible for filling our orders, on time and in exceptional quality. We understand that Vanuku is currently engaged in a major conflict in Jelbania, but under no circumstances did they let Kalistan down. Their industries fulfill their contracts on time, and their production is excellent. We have had opportunity to inspect every piece of gear that they have sent us, and we find no flaws with any of it. Reliability and excellence in production: No higher praise can be offered to a country by its businesses. Vanuku should be proud, and we are thrilled that they chose to sell to us."

The First of the new Kalistani Destroyers begin arriving from Vanuku in mid-February.

In addition to weapons that arrived last year, Kalistan now adds the following systems to its arsenal:

8 anti-submarine destroyers, dubbed the Kaliburg-Class (RL Equivalent: Arleigh Burke-class) 7 of which will see immediate sea service, the eighth, the KRS-69, which will be studied and reverse engineered from top to bottom, and shall have blue prints made of it to begin construction of more just like it at the ship yards,

2 Guided Missile Cruisers, Dubbed the Luxon-Class (RL Equivalent: the Ticonderoga Class Cruiser), 1 of which will see immediate service, and the second of which, KRS 71, which will be studied for a year before being launched, so that Kalistan may draw up blueprints of the ship and begin manufacturing them at the ship yards.

12 Attack Submarines, dubbed Victor-Class (RL equivalent: Walrus Class Submarine)

2 Multipurpose Frigates dubbed the Daniel Guzman-Class (RL Equivalent: The Karel Doorman-Class Frigate)

10 Air Defense and Command Frigates dubbed the Ontiveros-Class (RL Equivalent: De Zevon Class Frigate)

30 Multi-purpose Jet Fighters Dubbed "Tornado" in Kalistan (RL Equivalent: The Typhoon Fighter)

30 Interceptor Class Fighters, Dubbed the "Dust Devil" in Kalistan (RL Equivalent, the F-14 Tomcat)

45 Close Air Support Fighters, dubbed "Smoke Monster" in Kalistan (RL Equivalent: SU-25 Fighter)

All ships and weaponry will be listed in an official Kalistani Military Registry, and have been commissioned and launched in Service.

Kalistan is thankfully no longer Defenseless. All Commissioned ships will immediately begin patrol duty on the Northern and Southern Limits of the Ananto Straits.

More Provocations: Kazulia launches into "Grand Arc of Hypocrisy"
Minister Santamaria announces plans to construct a new Naval Base in Ananto

Kaliburg, Ananto District
March 27, 4111


Image
Kalistani Defense Minister Philando Santamaria announces plans to build new Kalistani Multipurpose Base on Bozo River in Ananto

Kazulia has engaged in what Defense Minister Santamaria has referred to as a "grand arc of hypocrisy" over the Ananto Straits issue. In prepared statements, the Defense minister responded.

"We would confirm that several members of the Kalistani Regular Navy have been captured on the high seas by the Kazulian Navy. All sailors have been ordered to cooperate fully, within the bounds of international law, with their captors. They will give their name, ranks and serial numbers and nothing more.

As for the violation of our National territory, we would like to merely correct the record. The Lourenne Frigate was not destroyed in the Straits, as the Kazulians claimed, but off Ananto's East Coast, where there is no prohibition of travel, except within the internationally recognized National Waters of Kalistan. That Frigate was sunk there because it was well within Kalistani Waters, as recognized even by your precious Law of the Sea, and so to defend such a blatent and unequivocal violation of sovereignty puts Kazulia on the wrong side of the international law debate.

Which brings us to our third point. As they don't respect ANY claim of Kalistani sovereignty, under what right do they have to appeal to International Law when they are destroying Kalistani Shops and killing Kalistani Sailors? They most certainly find themselves upon a grand arc of hypocrisy when they complain about Kalistan closing the Ananto Strait until the security dilemma caused by Kazulia's arming of our neighbors is resolved, while at the same time, promising to interrupting Vanukean ships on the high seas. Need I remind Kazulia that no official state of war exists between our two nations. Why a neutral third Party's ships should be molested on the high seas is beyond us, and yet, here is Kazulia's promise. We take them at their word: We believe they will, because while the mock Kalistan's historical claims, they themselves declare themselves the policemen of ALL the seas. It is a hard thing to make that contradiction in logic close, even for so craven an imperialist power like Kazulia."

The Defense Minister then announced plans for a new Naval Base in North Eastern Ananto.

"Given our new navy and basing needs, as well as a desire to continue to build more ships, Kalistan will build a new Naval, Air and Ground base in Northeastern Ananto, :along the Bozo River. This river, which provides a deep harbor flows through a part of the island which is sparsely populated and quite remote- The only individual property up there are a few isolated vacation homes and fishing docks. The proposed base will cover more than 1400 square miles, it will contain a new Naval Ship yard with drydock and refitting facilities, a refueling depot. It will contain an airstrip capable of servicing military and civilian jets. And it will contain the largest training area in Kalistan, with hundreds of square miles, including flatlands, valleys and foothills for maneuver and live fire. The Bozo River facility will be the pre-eminent training center in the region. Mainside will be a veritable city, capable of hosting visiting training elements from across the world, and will serve as the new Headquarters for the Kalistani Regular Navy. Additionally, the Bozo River facility will give Kalistan eyes on and direct access to the Anantonese Ocean that we lost when Eavari and its archaic deepwater naval base was destroyed in the War."

The Minister gave few additional details, other than to say that Construction was already underway.

Construction underway at Bozo River Facility
Channel deepened and widened to accommodate even largest naval ships

Eveari, Ananto District
April 30, 4411


Image
The main channel in the tidal estuary of the Bozo River is dredged

Construction of the new Bozo River naval facility is moving swimmingly along. Naval engineers associated with the Kalistani National Ship Yard at Kaliburg have overseen a channel widening and deepening project of the tidal Estuary of the Bozo River. This week, engineers announced that they had deepened the river channel from 39 feet to 50 feet, and have stabilized the shoreline with hundreds of tons of boulders and debris. Additionally, they have deepened the port itself to a distance of 75 feet to shore to a depth of 60 feet. Because of this, ships will be able to dock off shore and use shuttles to get into land as the Jetty is built, and smaller supply ships will be able to easily enter the Bozo River estuary to deliver supplies at the building site, rather than having to load them onto trucks and transport them over swamp and plain to bring them in from north or south. This will dramatically speed up building of the infrastructure of the future base.

In this remote corner of the Republic, where nearly nobody lives or even visits, life for the workers who began on the earliest phases of this project last month has been difficult. As the channel project was beginning, workers were building a temporary town about 20 miles down the shore from the River. The town, lovingly referred to as "Bozoville" by its inhabitants is still a conglomeration of GP tents, container apartments, and field canteens that serve the needs and wants of the laborers . Creature comforts are few and far between in Bozoville, so ODEN maintains a presence in the town, as well as a number of professional women and men who have moved to the camp to keep the workers occupied during their off time. Laborers freely mix with NSPers, though the skilled labor does much more difficult work than the conscripts, who often either fill the need for unskilled labor, or work with Naval planners in design and engineering of the various facilities on the base.

Image
Bozoville, a temporary labor town just outside the limits of the gates of the future Bozo River Naval facility

As the Dredging continued, a temporary bridge over the Bozo River, the first such bridge ever erected was completed early this month. Now, workers can freely travel back and forth to the far bank. Construction of the base Mainside has begun as the first offices and barracks have been framed and roof gables are being lifted into place. Once the first barracks are completed and the base is electrified, permanent wokers will move to the base, and a second contingent of workers will move into Bozoville who will be responsible to build infrastructure and a permanent defense road to Eveari while base construction is under way.

This major construction is expected to take two years before even Kalistani militia can take up a post here, but the goal of completing the jetty and the harbor, with at least one docking facility, is set for the end of the year.

Williams uncharacteristically Calm in response to Lourenne provocations
Declares that Kalistani Navy has surpassed Lourenne

Kaliburg, Annato District
June 29, 4411


Image
Foreign Minister Williams, recently called a "foul-mouthed dictator" shows a calmer side

The war of words continues between Kalistan and Lourenne, though it seems that Kalistan's government has turned a corner. Williams was uncharacteristically conciliatory in a recent interview about Lourennaise insults found in their Quotidien.

"We've surpassed the Lourenne Navy on the Sea," Williams declared. "And we are actually able to mount a credible defense of Kalistan for the first time in hundreds of years. The Lourennaise Navy doesn't pose as much of a threat as they used to. So anytime they would like to come to Kaliburg to discuss terms, we'd sure like to hear from them. Meanwhile, the Straits stay closed, and without satisfactory negotiations, we will burn to the ground before we reopen them."

Williams seemed less perturbed by the propaganda coming from other nation's newspapers. "They called me a... yes, it was a 'foul-mouthed dictator'. That was actually kinda good," Williams said with a slight chuckle. "I'm sure the Premier thought it was funny too. But no, there was only a few minor factual errors in their most recent screed, so its nothing we should really feel the need to answer."

When pressed, especially on the comments that the Anantonese Ocean was now Lourenne's to influence, Williams just shrugged. "I mean, what do you want me to say? They don't have the navy by themselves to do it, so I imagine that when they say the Anantonese Ocean now belongs to Lourenne, I assume they mean the influence is theirs, but their influence is backed up with Kazulian guns and ships. I'm a realist, and it seems that we have more than matched Lourenne's Navy ship for ship and then some. So, math being what it is, they can talk if they like, but they should remember who is buttering their bread."

Williams continued, "Wouldn't it be better for Lourenne if they allied with someone closer? I mean, for crying out loud, Kazulia doesn't even border the Anantonese Ocean. When the chips are down, how willing do they think Kazulia will be to come to a region that they don't even have any interests in? This whole thing started when Lourenne decided to begin an arms race in the region. The matter is resolved, for the time being, and it is to Kalistan's advantage. Wouldn't it be better if we worked together, as equals and as Brothers for a secure Anantonese Ocean, rather than working with a large empire for which Lourenne are merely an outpost?"

Williams shrugged again. "As long as these people keep attacking, we will keep defending- Need I remind you that ALL blood spilled has been spilled in Kalistani waters, while none has been spilled abroad. But the construction of the new Kalistani Navy changes the balance of power in the region once more. So, it is up to the other side to resolve the Straits issue in a way that satisfies us all. Or they can keep talking negatively about us in their paper and firing on our ships who are doing legitimate defense of our National Territory in the Straits and around Ananto. That's their choice."

Bozo River Facility continues Forward
Jetty construction begun at sea as first Barracks completed on land

Eveari, Ananto District
June 30, 4411


Image
When the Jetty encloses the Harbor early next year, construction on the port facilities will commence

Construction on the jetty meant to enclose the Harbor at Bozo River in Ananto began this month. Engineers began by utilizing hundreds of millions of tons of earth dredged from the harbor when it was deepened. The Harbor dredging project was completed in mid Spring, and a rough outline for the harbor was shaped using the soil pulled from the bottom. The Harbor is been deepened to 50 feet all the way to shore, and now the anchorage has been completed. The next step now is to build a jetty which encloses the port and leaves a shipping lane wide enough for three ships through on the leeward side of the harbor. The dead water on that side, protected from the strong north driving currents on the eastern side of the Island will make maneuvering into the port a breeze. The Jetty, when it is constructed, will allow the Harbor to extend out into the ocean a good half a mile, and will allow the construction of port facilities in calm water.

But the construction of the jetty is not without risks. As equipment goes further out into the ocean and the continental shelf drops off, , the rock wall will need to be higher and thicker. This necessarily presents more of a danger for workers on the jetty who will spend their days taking large boulders from the barges bringing them out into the water. If the jetty is not structurally sound on solid foundations, a boulder could shift and an entire section could tumble into the ocean. So, Kalistan has called in underwater technician who help guide rocks into place to create as tight a fit as possible. Consequently, Jetty construction is expected to take longer than normal, and projection for completion, if Winter months allow, is February 4412.

While the Jetty is being built, on-land, the first permanent structures are being finished. Workers at Bozoville have run round the clock shifts to get the first barracks in place, while electricians have brought electricity on high tension lined over the mountains from Eveari. A small water desalinization plant has also been set up to provide both the base and Bozoville with a reliable source of clean drinking water, obviating the need for bottled water. The streets of the Base's Mainside have been surveyed, the Base HQ has been constructed, and temporary staging areas for heavy equipment have been established. A small PX for everyday essentials has been opened in a GP tent, right next to another which serves as the temporary base messhall, and another which serves as a temporary Base clinic. It was with great fanfare that the Barracks was opened and a permanent contingent of 320 workers were relocated to the location. This group is responsible for constructing permanent Base structures for personnel and eventual occupation by the Military, while those left in Bozoville will continue building new Barracks at a rate of 1 every 4 months, until all inhabitants have moved to the Base for the duration of the construction. Bozoville will then be fully turned over to the National Service Program, who will begin constructing a permanent Bridge over the Bozo River and a four lane free way to Eveari.

Work on the Port is moving along according to schedule, and is expected to open in mid 4413.

Covert Ops by Lodamese Navy in Anantonese Ocean
Minister of Defence denies any involvement
June 22, 4011

A small newspaper in Lodamun has headlined that a large Lodamese taskforce has been spotted off the coast of Ananto.
Kregon Watch published the headline yesterday. This morning it was picked up by nearly all the national newspapers. In the article the newspaper claims that the Lodamese 2nd Fleet, which is based in Norstavan, left port about two weeks ago. A reliable source even got them some photographs of ships, sailing under Lodamese ensign, passing the isle of Ananto. Ever since Lodamun has chosen to support neighbouring nation Kalistan, there has risen a lot of criticism. EVen though the Lodamese Government hasn't taken any official stance on the Kalistani claim, some nations are considering them to help and support Kalistan. The newspaper says that the current Government is willing to support Kalistan in its claim and would even be prepared for war.
According to inside information, the First Fleet based in Andalay, would also be preparing to set sail.

Minister Roose denies allegiations that his Navy is preparing for war.
Ahmad Roose adressed the press in a written communiqué.
In these times of instability, I can assure the nation, its citizens and any critic outside our borders, that the Lodamese Navy is not taking part in the conflict that might exist between Lourenne and Kalistan.
I will try to outline the situation. I hope all will understand that I cannot give specific details on place our unit for operational reasons, but nevertheless: It is true that a taskforce left port two weeks ago. They set sail in order to conduct a naval exercise that was planned two years ago. One should understand that we have invested a lot of money to modernize and preserve our fleet, and a large combined exercise was necessary to trial our vessels.
There is no reason for sorrow: the last thing I heared all is going well and the Admiral is very pleased with the results of our ships. In the next week some of these ships will execute live-firing exercises. Afterwards a large scale wargame is planned.
We do not wish to get involved in any issue that doesn't concern us, neither do we wish to provocate any nation.


Critics believe Lodamun is preparing for war. Professor Drankorgel, specialist in warfare, assures the public that Lodamun is not ready for war.
While the Minister of Defence has done a great job, in my opinion, to modernize the Navy, his forces lack exercise and training. I am confident that the Minister is speaking the truth about the current situation. He wishes to get the Navy fully operational by the end of this year, after which he will concentrate on his airforce and the Army. The Army needs a large investment, being neglected for a couple of years. While the ships currently at sea are actually fitted with all weaponry and hot warheads, going to war now would be a stupid move.

Premier Carrangus begins second full term as Premier of the Republic

Kalistani Voters overwhelmingly approved of the Johnson-Bennots and Carrangus ticket at the beginning of this month. All socialist incumbents were returned to office, and the SP picked up 20 seats from coalition partners, the Populists. The overwhelming approval shown by Kalistanis to the Socialist Administration of government helped them obtain 93 percent of the vote for President. Interestingly, the neo-fascist Reynoldists earned one tenth of a percent in Vrassa District. The Populists did best in Ananto District, as expected, defending 43 Seats.

Kalistan moves ever closer to single Party rule with these results, and Kalistan demonstrates that they have been ready for Socialism's return for some time. The People have spoken. For Kalistan's enemies, who were hoping that the recent elections would remove the thorn in their side, the policies of the Socialist Party are officially vindicated. With a completely united electorate, Kalistan proceeds on its current course.

FM Williams welcomes Vanukese to Kaliburg
On the schedule for talks are regional security and economic improvement

Kaliburg, Ananto District

Vanukean Diplomats, including Foreign Minister arrive in Kalistan and are escorted to Foreign Ministry

Fresh off election victories, Kalistani Foreign Minister and renowned "foul-mouthed dictator" Orenthal Williams welcomed his Vanukean counterparts to Kaliburg to begin formalized talks for a closer relationship.

"We will primarily focus on economic issues," Williams said. "Naturally, now that the Selayan Union is officially embargoing Kalistan, we will be looking for new Partners. The good news is, Vanuku, who owns 25% of both KalNaPeCo and KalNaFerCo, are logical choices. We've also been scheduled to take a tour of the new Bozo River facility. I personally have not been out there, but I hear dramatic progress is being made, both on construction of the harbor and building the infrastructure of the base At this point, it will take some imagination to see the base which will begin taking shape next year, but this is an opportunity for Kalistan to do a little bragging, and at the same time, convince Vanuku that trading with Kalistan is worth it. We may discuss security matters in the Anantonese Ocean, but to my knowledge, the schedule seems pretty full just discussing trade. I'm not sure how much of the security issues we will get to."

Image
Foreign Minister Williams talks to reporters before meeting arriving the Vanukean Foreign Minister

The Government has reopened the Kaliburg Polytechnic Institute in Kaliburg for the trade talks. "This venue has hosted many high level meetings in the past. The Polytechnic institute provides comfortable, if a little sparse, accommodations for staff and personnel and a secure meeting space which was also used by the former Kalistani Intelligence Agency. We look forward to finally returning to the campus, which was reportedly haunted, when I was a kid. Now that the grounds are clear, we can all see what a beautiful campus, and what an amazing view of the City and Port Devon this campus offers."

The foreign Minister was in high spirits, and looking forward to the talks with FM Ashur.

Kalistani Economic News
Government heads into third round of Nationalization

Kaliburg, Ananto District
December 12, 4411


Image
Flax fields in Vrassa, managed and staffed by the NSP, are now directed toward National Production

The Government of Kalistan announced last month that it would be creating two additional National Companies, the Kalistani National Textile Company (KALNATEXCO) and the Kalistani National Motor Company (KALNAMOCO). Both new companies will be organized like existing National companies. The Textiles conglomerate will source natural fibers like cotton, wool, flax and hemp, from the National Service Program's agricultural operations, as well as over seas, and will produce clothing and other textile products for both the Military and for Kalistani Citizens. There is no doubt that the cost of the finished goods will be heavily subsidized by the Government. What is not consumed by the Republic will be offered for sale abroad, and some production will be deliberately set aside for sale overseas. The Motor Company will produce both automobiles and aircraft for the Public and Private Sectors. Some public sector uses will be military transport and cargo trucks, infantry mobility vehicles and utility aircraft. For the civilian sector, KALNAMOCO intends to create a line of fuel efficient hybrid automobiles, and like all other National companies, excess production will be exportable.

Like other Nationalized companies, the two new companies will be 51% owned by the Republican government and fully capitalized by the Republican Government. Unlike the other national companies, neither company expropriates existing manufacturing sectors, but aims to create new production plants. The KALNATEXCO will create textile plants in all five districts, and expects to employ more than 10,000 Kalistani citizens over all, not including NSP sourcing. KALNAMOCO will create sourcing factories and their main assembly plant is to be located in Odufaray. Overall, KALNAMOCO will employ more than 15,000 workers Republic-wide.

In other economic news, the conflict over the Ananto Straits has been long, but Kalistan's national industries have dramatically increased in value, as speculators see no end to the conflict on the horizon. Threats to KALNAPECO supplies by foreign navies have driven KALNAPECO stocks at over 4 KRB a share for the first time earlier this month. At press time, KALNAPECO was trading on the open Market at 4.12 KRB a share. Investors are reportedly thrilled: Share price is buttressed by both the instability in the Straits and the new Naval Contracts, but also by the news of further nationalization. KALNAFERCO has enjoyed similar success, as the company has been tasked by the Republican Government to aid in construction of the Bozo River facility, as well as the use of materials in continued waging of conflict over the straits. KALNAFERCO was trading at 4.85 KRB, in its 8th straight month in positive territory.

National expansion is incredibly lucrative for the major backbones of the Kalistani National economy, and the hostility of the Northern Council toward Kalistan is serving to make Junior Partner Vanuku incredibly wealthy, as Vanuku owns 25% in each of these companies and their investments have increased nearly 400%. The investment of Petrovan, the Vanukean subsidiary that owns 10 billion shares of KPO, purchased for 13 Billion KRB is now worth more than 41 Billion. And the investment of Vanukean subsidiary MInarco in KFO cost about 9.3 billion, and is now worth more than 36 Billion.

This year's annual dividends from the earnings from these two companies alone are enough for the Kalistani Government to fund the entire higher education system in Kalistan for two years, and the Republican Government is contemplating another round of tax and spending cuts.

Other Kalistani Nation Companies have enjoyed more modest growth. The Kalistani National Bank shares are trading within a range of 1.65 KRB and 1.89 KRB, the latter number representing the record of 7 months ago. This stability in price bodes well for the Kalistani Bank, and analysts are sure that any corrections that may come when the Conflict over the Straits is resolved will not touch the bank. KALMILINCO, the military industrial company, which was chartered two years ago, have also enjoyed very modest gains, as the stock price has hovered around 1.75 KRB. When the Conflict is completed, this price may climb, due to new orders for new military materiel.

Bozo River Facility Begins to take shape
Twelfth Permanent Barracks nears completion

[url]Eveari, Ananto
December 23, 4411[/url]

Image
12 Barracks identical to BEQ 2, which will eventually house close to 600 permanent personnel each, have been completed.

Construction of Basic Enlisted Quarters on the Bozo river facility are nearing completion, as the twelfth Barracks complex, of fifteen is rapidly nearing completion. The Base, once completed will be able to billet a maximum of 7800 personnel in the BEQs alone, and 1200 Officers in the two BOQs. Each BEQ/BOQ complex is built over a PX, entertainment and educational facilities such as a movie theater, a pool and a bowling alley, a mess hall, an Enlisted or Officer's club, a BAS clinic, and a Battalion Headquarters.

Once the barracks are completed, work will begin on permanent structures on base, including motor pools, various support buildings, warehouses, and additional Headquarters buildings. Additionally, a Naval artillery school and Comm School are to be located at the Base. During the Summer of 4412, construction of family housing is expected to commence, to serve 175 families in duplex townhouses. In addition to the housing facilities, school buildings for children, as well as a small mall and entertainment complex are expected to be part of the family housing complex.

The Jetty project is now projected to be three months from completion, after which naval engineers will begin to construct the port facilities. This will include additional jetties to allow for anchorage and debarking without need of a shuttle. It will also include dry dock, ship repair and refitting facilities, including lock system which will allow ships to sail into an assigned berth, and then the water drained from the berth and the ship repaired, refitted, or inspected. The naval facilities will be constructed to service and dock even the largest ships on the seas right now, as clearance within the jetty is more than one half a mile and the anchorage has been dropped to 50 feet up to the shore. Additionally, the Bozo River estuary, which flows on the opposite side of the Jetty, will serve as additional anchorage for ships Frigate size and smaller, as well as most submarines, though primary navigation will remain by tug, due to the width of the river, which is only 1250 feet wide at its mouth.

Completion of the facility is expected to occur around June 4413.
