Title: Emerge: A History of Beiteynu
Author(s): Jacob Shteman
Publisher: Gem Publishing
Year: 5429
Language(s): Yeudish, Luthorian, Canrillaise and Majatran translations
Subjects: History of Beiteynu / Emergence Era of Beiteynu
Pages: 1911

Summary: Emerge attempts to document the spinning tale of Beiteynu's history from 5199 and onwards when Baruch Lea Tzafrir stepped onto the podium as the first Rosh HaMemshala that would lead the country into a never before seen level of international influence, by the merits of rather questionable meddling.

In the first half of the 53rd century, the book centers around the early Hevrat Hashmal Administrations, from an austerity period that crippled an entire generation, to the Equifund, the first scandals of the Terran Remediation Agency, Baruch Lea Tzafrir's staged murder and the onset of the Navy of Beiteynu's buildup.

The second half wraps up with the 13-year recession after going through the "1st ascension" of unchecked economic growth which gave birth to international titans like Hadayim, Ashalon Bank BEIFG and Beir Leshet, ultimately leading to the first pivotal alliances of the age amidst an ongoing exposure of a historically endless line of intelligence and espionage scandals in more than 6 countries.

The first half of the 54th century centers around what the author dubs the "2nd ascension", with the MSCO and the alliance with Eroncourt that would eventually carve the world into a new era; and a endless barrage of shocking intelligence twists that destroyed an entire country.

The second half focuses on the ascension of the Yeudi Monarchy and how the House of Elior and House of Orange-Villayn took the Yeudi Heritage by storm, with Yishelem stepping up its game of intelligence with the infamous Allink, AllComm; while the birth of the Vamaj Network began crippling its influence.

The book concludes with the evident dwindling of Beiteynuese influence across Terra; seemingly as a result of someone having achieved something, heavily hinting at Aristocrat Insurance Group and the fallacies of the controversial book series The Meddling Affairs that has yet to come out.

All in all, painting the term Yeudi Game as the pinnacle of Beiteynu's newfound place as the one and only country in the world that maintains a "double-faced" conduct as an actual foreign policy.

Title: Azhara Diplomacy (e-book contains timeline links)
Author(s): Elias Ishmael IV
Publisher: Gem Publishing
Year: 5430
Language(s): Yeudish, Luthorian, Canrillaise, Artanian and Majatran translations
Subjects: History of Beiteynu / Emergence Era of Beiteynu / Navy of Beiteynu
Pages: 592

Summary: Azhara (Warning) Diplomacy chronicles the origins of the Navy of Beiteynu and its peak as a global force in Terra, during the Emergence Era of Beiteynu.

Baruch Lea Tzafrir made it abundantly clear from early on that the Navy of Beiteynu would serve as the Military of Beiteynu's primary arm in exerting the Beiteynuese Government's influence in the international arena.

Subsequent administrations carried on that policy for hundreds of years, marked heavily by distinct events that had absolutely nothing to do with the military and everything to do with the Diplomacy of Beiteynu, the Shipping Industry of Beiteynu and the Equifund.

What is especially interesting is that by the military's advocacy of "defensive deterrents", the navy has mostly done nothing except act as a breaker, amplifier and deterring force in Yishelem's games of influencing interests. With a few exceptions. The first crisis with Malivia in the Migrant's Pass in the 53rd century, then the Third Solentian Civil War and then the Migrant's Pass crisis of the 55th century are 3 out of 3 cases where the Beiteynuese Defence Force decided to break its policy of "aggressive defence", and leaned more on "defensive aggression".

All 3 instances ended in debacles and billions lost.

Proving a point, apparently, that Beiteynu cannot execute "gunboat diplomacy". So it invented its "own thing" of maintaining one of the most expensive navies in the world as the reverse: to thwart and deter "gunboat diplomacy" by others, with the most long-standing cases being represented by the "beef" with Dorvik and the activities of the MSCO, which Beiteynu ended up loaning most of its equipment to enforce regional security in Majatra.

And then it loaned more of it to is allies; the formation of the Zaar Fleets marked the deployments in not 1, but 4 countries across 3 continents. The once notorious "Beikun Fleet" with Kundrati was the biggest thorn in Artania's affairs for more than a century.

Then came the alliance with Eroncourt at the onset of the 54th century, which changed everything.

Bathing the defence industry and the Equifund in an endless cascade of billions in defence contracts, the navy eventually formed the Shahar Fleets, a carrier battle group which, for the first time, rivalled Dorvish hegemony in international waters; poking and retreating in arrogance to screw with the "old" order.

As it seems, despite the latest events painting a picture of "withdrawal" in Beiteynu's 200-year unstoppable expanse in Terra, while the scene stabilises, the navy still remains the Yeudi Game's most whimsical military toy in "aggressive defence"; a more "practical" manifestation in the dance of Yeudish interests.

So, will the might of the Yeudi navy continue to tango?

Title: Avnayheim (Gems) (e-book contains timeline links)
Author(s): Various
Publisher: Gem Publishing
Year: 5430
Language(s): Yeudish, Luthorian, Canrillaise, Artanian and Majatran translations
Subjects: Yeudi Monarchy / House of Elior
Pages: 372

Summary: Avnayheim (Gems) is a history book infused with elements of fiction that tells the story of the Yeudi Monarchy and the House of Elior through the forging of the 8 Gems by Elior and their transformation into the Yeudi Heritage's closely tied cultural symbol, as a result of the Yeudi Diaspora of the 1500s.

The story begins with the Qedarite Migrations, thousands and thousands of years ago.

Ariel claimed Elyon spoke to him of a Holy Land to the West; a claim that found followers amidst the Birites in Cildania, essentially founding Yeudism and giving the Yeudi People their first essence as a race. Ariel had a trusted confidant; Elior. At his deathbed, he told Elior of his vision of the impending Yeudi Diaspora, which took place by the 1500s, after the end of the Sacred Monarchy of Beiteynu during the Ancient Era of Beiteynu.

Thus, Elior forged the 8 Gems, which would inevitably bind the Yeudi Monarchy with the Yeudi Heritage, when Ishmael I, one of his descendants, was crowned Meleh of the 1st Yeudi Homeland in 908; with the Yeudi Crown of 8 Gems, the one lost throughout history and unveiled 4000 years later by Aristocrat Insurance Group.

Well, at least that's according to the legend of the House of Elior.

The passing of history saw Cildanian Hegemony (Qedarite Empire) and Pontesi's occupation after the sacking of Yishelem, which led the direct lineage of the House of Elior's Yeudi Monarchs to fade into obscurity. Through the Modern Era of Beiteynu and by 2000, a 2nd Yeudi Homeland was annexed by Barmenistan, Pontesi and Narikaton and Darnussia. The 3rd, 4th and 5th Yeudi Homelands by the 2300s came to pass, at which point it was confirmed that Yeladim Keshef of the Keshef House from Keymon, mapped the whereabouts of the 8 Gems, for the first time providing some context to what was largely assumed as one of the Culture of Beiteynu's legends.

Then something curious happened.

The 6th Yeudi Homeland ended with Luthori's claim of the Kingdom of Yishelem by the 2800s. The Bloodline tells the story of Theodore Aristocrat, a Yeudi from Kafuristan, who found Keshef's notes - confirmed by Baruch Lea Tzafrir's travel logs 3000 years later. The Aristocrat House was an avid hater of the International Monarchist League - after all, it fought the Axis with the Global Peacekeeping Organisation through Kalopia, so why did the Aristocrats continuously meet with the Holy Luthori Empire's kings and queens?

The end of the Kingdom brought the Limelight Era of Beiteynu.

Where's the 7th Yeudi Homeland? If the Homeland State of Beiteynu established in 5400, thousands of years later during the Emergence Era of Beiteynu was marked as the 8th Yeudi Homeland, what was the 7th?

If it was the Kingdom, why is Luthori's claim over Beiteynu still, well, claimed as one of the homelands?

Supposedly, the beans are spilled by those involved, directly or indirectly, with the most controversial book series in modern Beiteynuese history: The Meddling Affairs.

A story of a worldwide plot on the whereabouts of the jewels of legend.

Summary: Quotations from Leader Sigismondo Falzon, popularly known as the "Little Orange Book," is a collection of quotes and speeches delivered by Cildanian former Deputy Prime Minister Sigismondo Falzon. The book was initially produced and published by the Federazzjoni Ġenerali tax-Xogħol (General Labour Federation) as a form of satire and critique, amidst a resurgence of interest in the iconic political figure. In time, however, the book would become popular among fans and supporters of Falzon.

Notable Quotations:

You think you can f--king threaten one of my girls, you filthy c--ksucker? We can't go around treatin' women like f--kin' objects. That's not how a f--kin' boss conducts himself. Now, I ain't no professor or nothin', but that's some f--kin' toxic masculinity sh-t, and we need to f--kin' address it. No more degradin' comments or this objectifyin' yadda-yadda. And certainly no threatening to kill a f--kin' defenceless dame!

Don’t let his pretty face fool you! Guili is tough as nails! I cannot tell you how many times, during particularly tense negotiations, that I’ve wanted to wrap my hands around that slender neck and watch the life drain from his face!

Listen, I'm glad I got the government off its tookus, but these measures, I mean, c'mon! Right after their synagogue was bombed, you're going to send in the troops to place the Yeudi community under martial law? It's ridiculous! Y'know, we were once a nation of religious freedom—but not under this government's watch! It wasn't the Yeudis who blew their own rabbi sky high, it was the antiyeudi thugs who have been inspired and strengthened over the years by Franġi's coalition partners' willingness to dabble in such disgusting ideas

And here I thought Margerita was this vivacious, ravishing woman—which she still is, ok? I can't take that from her—but f-ck me, is she ever dirty? All of us who were engaged in the democracy struggle, we had one f-cking big, thick, hard red line: we won't make deals with the fascists. Now look what she's gone and done! And don't get me started on Little Piscopo Jr. This pair... they have royally f-cked our democratic system!

Listen, you do you, I'll do me, and together we'll live in harmony. To me, these are some real freaks and weirdos—but if bein' a freak or a weirdo was a crime, Little Piscopo would have been locked up long ago!

If one of these dirty motherf-ckers tries something again, you have my word as a man that I will braid their hair into my f-ckin' bathmat so I can stand on their ugly f-ckin' faces and piss down their throats until they drown!

Title: Constructing International Law: Contributions and Contradictions of the Security Council
Author(s): Demartino, Alessia

Published: Harat: University of Harat Press
Year: 5402
Language(s): Gziri; numerous translations
Physical Details: 389
Subjects: Non-fiction
Wiki Page: N/A

Summary: In Constructing International Law, Cildanian political scientist and international legal theorist Alessia Demartino examines the construction of international law, particularly as through the actions taken, and norms promoted, by the World Congress Security Council. In surveying the body of active Security Council Resolutions, Demartino argues that the Security Council is the single most important and influential institution in the development of international law and global political norms.

The most notable positive contributions of the World Congress and the Security Council, according to Demartino, include the Declaration of Natural Human Rights, the Condemnation of Anti-Religion Bigotry, the Ban on Armed Conflict Between States, and the Prohibition of Forced Marriage, among other important developments. Security Council Resolution 88 is particularly important, according to Demartino, as it offers the "clearest and most authoritative declaration of what the role of the World Congress is, and should be," while also enshrining the norms of state sovereignty and non-interference at the highest order of international law.

Nevertheless, Demartino identifies a number of issues and contradictions. Importantly, Demartino argues that the legal status of the World Congress, the Security Council, and its resolutions, remains vague—what resolutions are binding? What resolutions are non-binding? What status do resolutions hold relative to global treaties? How are agencies funded? How are they organized? Who directs them, and how are they appointed? All these questions—and more, as Demartino suggests—are important to resolve for future development and clarification of the World Congress system.

Leaving these issues unresolved, while also permitting the unhindered proliferation of new organizations, agencies, and mandates within the World Congress system, has led to “institutional malaise," for though “the Security Council is well-equipped to enforce norms, particularly though punitive acts which only it can legally undertake, [it is] less well-equipped to promote norm adoption through peaceful means.” In other words, while the SC is experienced and able when it comes to military interventions in order to enforce certain norms (and the overwhelming majority of Security Council Resolutions affirms this), it has much less institutional expertise or organization when it comes to other dimensions of norm promotion, such as through developmental programs, aid agencies, legal bodies, etc. Despite past efforts, these areas of the World Congress system remain under- or entirely undeveloped.

Demartino concludes her book by arguing that, on the basis of automatic state membership in the World Congress, the World Congress system represents a uniquely universal terrain for legal contestation, diplomacy, and the overall advancement of global governance in a way which represents and respects the sovereignty and views of all the recognized nations of the world, and to which they are all equally accountable. What provides international law any means or mechanism for enforcement is the unique legal character of the Security Council, however the Security Council is primarily equipped for authorizing punitive actions, rather than resolving disputes through alternative and/or peaceful mechanisms. Demartino suggests that further reform, particularly as it relates to the development of the International Court of Justice, should focus on expanding alternative avenues for dispute resolution, and generally in promoting and enforcing international standards.

Title: In Search of Human Rights

Year: 5405
Language(s): Gziri; numerous translations

Summary: In their book In Search of Human Rights (5405), Cildanian political scientist and international legal scholar Alessia Demartino argues that "human rights" remain a normative concept with a deeply contested meaning, and unclear or unequal application within the institutions of international politics, and in global politics writ large.

Demartino begins the book by recounting the famous exchange of letters between Sekowan lay Daenist leader Okuno Kayoko and Human Rights Foundation Secretary-General Ibezimako Nkemdilim. In this exchange, Okuno asks Nkemdilim to locate what his organization considers the basis for essential human rights in law. Nkemdilim cites the Declaration of Natural Human Rights (SC R100) as the “most significant statement of global rights,” though it has notable flaws, including its “restrictive language regarding the… promotion of human rights abroad” and the “marginal” commitment of the World Congress and its constituent bodies/agencies in the “improvement in the state of international human rights.”

Demartino picks up from this exchange, agreeing with Nkemdilim that while the Declaration remains the core and foundational document underlying the norm of human rights, it is lacking in many ways, such as its overemphasis on state responsibilities and the relations between states; Demartino argues that the Declaration prioritizes the sovereignty and integrity of states over promoting and protecting the rights of human beings. Demartino asks: “what human rights-based claim can a stateless individual make, to whom, in view of the Declaration?”

In the text, Demartino further contends that the Declaration provides little by way of enshrining a right to the material needs of human beings to actualize the rights they have been granted elsewhere in the document. Moreover, the Declaration fails to incorporate and reiterate other important liberal international norms guiding human rights, such as the prohibition of slavery and racial segregation. Here, Demartino suggests that it may be more constructive and efficient to develop norms and international human rights law "from the bottom up" through treaties, rather than depending solely on the Security Council; the Security Council can then adopt the norms and standards developed through such agreements and conventions, as it has in SC R109, which "Proclaims the Law of the Sea as jus cogens, peremptory norm that is applicable erga omnes, to all states, whether they are party to the treaty or not." To this end, Demartino highlights agreements such as the Convention on the Humane Treatment of Prisoners of War and the Global Emancipation Treaty as representative examples of treaties which have enshrined certain international legal norms related to human rights within the body of customary international law, instead of relying on the "top-down" approach of Security Council Resolutions.

Reiterating an argument made in her earlier book Constructing International Law (5402), Demartino suggests that an important issue for the Security Council to resolve is the extent to which certain resolutions may be binding, while others may be non-binding. Examining the area of human rights and human rights enforcement is informative to this end, for while the Declaration is non-binding, the norm of human rights have been routinely invoked to legitimize Security Council enforcement actions, such an interventions and/or sanctions.

“The Security Council has an important monopoly in the international legal apparatus, in that it is the sole institution which has legal authority to determine the legitimacy or illegitimacy of military intervention,” writes Demartino. “Thus, it would seem that the distinction between non-binding and binding SC resolutions depends strictly on the politics and capacities of the powers elected to the Security Council; all resolutions have the latent capacity to be binding, if the political determination to enforce them is present amongst the Security Council majority.”


Quick Notes:

(1) Human rights have developed over time through agreements such as the Global Emancipation Treaty, but the most singular contribution to human rights was the passage of the Declaration of Human Rights (SC R100).
(1a) SC R100 reaffirms the legitimacy of SC R88 and the norm of state sovereignty and positions it at the heart of international law and relations.
(2) The Declaration is de jure non-binding, though it may be binding de facto if the Security Council chooses to enforce it; as per SC R110, the Security Council is the only actor in global politics which has the legal ability to determine the legitimacy/illegitimacy of military action, sanctions, etc.
(2a) This is to say: the SC can determine, if it so chooses, to legitimize an intervention against a state which may be in violation of the rights outlined in the Declaration. Thus, it can legally enforce the adoption of human rights norms, despite the Declaration itself being non-binding.
(3) Demartino argues that the Declaration is deficient in providing a full suite of human rights, particularly for stateless individuals, including:
(3a) Positive rights to: asylum; nutrition; a nationality; the presumption of innocence; employment (and free choice to that end); just working conditions; just remuneration; freedom of movement, and; free education, among others.
(3b) Negative rights from: arbitrary arrest; torture; forced conscription, and; state persecution, among others.

Title: il-Ġenju: the Dirty Double Dealings of Deputy Sigismondo Falzon

Summary: In il-Ġenju: the Dirty Double Dealings of Deputy Sigismondo Falzon (5402), investigative journalist Mawru Spagna explores the connections between the business and political careers of Sigismondo Falzon, arguing that any distinction between those two careers was, at best, blurry. Falzon was an iconic political figure in modern Cildanian history whose Constitutionalist Party (PK) would play a major role in the institutional consolidation of Cildanian democracy. Not much is known about Falzon’s early life, such as the date or exact year of his birth; however, Falzon’s debut on the public stage occurred around 5302 when he emerged as a boisterous and bombastic upstart businessman with a particular knack for winning labour disputes (such as those against Guiliano Alagona, then a union leader).

Relying primarily on archived newspaper articles from the 5300s, Spagna pays special attention to the Grupp Falzon during the years in which Falzon was an elected political figure. While the company was officially and legally led by Falzon’s eldest son Baldassar during this period, Spagna paints the picture of a company deeply intertwined with Falzon’s political dealings and directed in its activities, primarily, by Falzon himself. As a result of Falzon's political connections, Spagna argues that the Grupp Falzon “conveniently” found itself on the receiving end of particularly good investments, such as the company’s successful pre-market acquisition of shares in Cildanian Condom in 5333, and in having been awarded the Santa Alessandra Library construction contract in 5334. Spagna further observes the steadily increasing share of the Cildanian media market owned by the Grupp Falzon during his time in politics, with the company becoming the largest shareholder of Grupp Editorjali PNFP (CSX:PNFP), one of the largest multimedia publishing companies in the country. He attributes Falzon’s vast network of connections with the relative silence that followed his disappearance in 5348.

Noting Falzon’s close ties to the tobacco lobby, Spagna reveals how the Grupp Falzon also acquired sizable shares in two of the Big Four tobacco producers in Cildania, Abjad-Fortizza (CSX:AFTC) and CNT (CSX:CNT) before the passage of his Support for Core Industries Act which completely deregulated the tobacco industry in Cildania. After the passage of the legislation, the share prices of the Big Four increased astronomically, to Falzon’s substantial benefit; it was against this backdrop that Falzon would famously declare, with fists raised before a crowd of tobacco lobbyists, that “the war is over!”

In elite circles, according to Spagna, Falzon would come to be known by many names including Missier Xitwa (Father Winter), in reference to his plentiful giving of “gifts,” and Il-Ġenju (The Genie) as he became known as a man who could grant any wish, provided you “rubbed his lamp.” To this end, Spagna makes particularly explosive allegations regarding Falzon’s role in facilitating all sorts of sordid matters, from the assassination of politician Denzilee Depares to the abuse of stray dogs for a government minister’s pleasure.

It is on the basis of these latter allegations that the book is currently banned from publication within Cildania, subject to pending litigation brought by the Falzon family against Spagna and his publisher, the Sekowan industry giant Kumasakishoten.

Subjects: History of Beiteynu, Emergence Era of Beiteynu, Shipping Industry of Beiteynu, Petroleum Industry of Beiteynu, Vamaj Network, House of Elior
Pages: 888

Summary: The Benowitz Handshake is a drama-history book by Gem Publishing, which documents the origins of the Shipping Industry of Beiteynu and the Vamaj Network during the Emergence Era of Beiteynu; with the Benowitz House of the House of Elior placed center stage in some conspicuous narratives, including the murder of Noah Kadiyot by former Hadayim CEO Benjamin Benowitz (while serving as Ramatkal) as part of the Yeudi Plot.

--

"Shipping is like its own zero fucks given Yeudish state", said someone in a bar near Sholemberg's ports, once.

While the Yeudi People have always been harsh looking seafarers and traders - after all, the Yeudi Homeland is one of the most arid places in Terra - it was not until Theodore Aristocrat from Kafuristan and the Aristocrat House from Kalopia came to pass in the 2800s that Yeudish shipping put its pin on the map.

Baruch Lea Tzafrir, however, was the one who finally untapped the industry by paving the way for the Yeudish Neset in 5200; apparently managing to create a 2nd, unofficial Medinat Department, in the process.

What Aristocrat Insurance Group failed to do thousands of years before, the Benowitz House managed to pull with unprecedented notoriety, not only granting Yeudish shipping the merits of becoming the world's trade backbone, but placing it right next to the Diplomacy of Beiteynu frantically pulling both the strings of Yishelem's policies and the Yeudi Monarchy later on; and casually removing those who opposed.

Sitting behind the likes of global "asshole" titans like Hadayim, Birco and Petrik Hadayot, it does not take much to understand that the Aristocrats, Tzafrirs and Benowitzes of the House of Elior are the ones behind the Shipping Companies of Beiteynu and the Petroleum Industry of Beiteynu itself.

From meddling in international sanctions against a country and murdering one of the most decorated diplomats of the Beiteynuese Government to dominating oil and gas distribution with the Vamaj Network and striking deals with multiple sides sitting at opposing ends of the geopolitical table, Yeudish shipping seems to represent the pinnacle of the Yeudi Way's rather infamous duplicitous nature.

In almost everything it does, and the Yeudi Heritage represents.

Summary: The Meddling Affairs is a controversial book series about what actually happened during the Emergence Era of Beiteynu and Yishelem's ascension to an unprecedented global stature, reshaping Terra in the process. And, most importantly, why it happened.

-

Unscathed from time, in one of the remotest graveyards in Kafuristan lies the tombstone of Theodore Aristocrat, filled with vines, hidden from history. Dug in 2683, it hosts the dusty remains of one of Terra's biggest self-made billionaires: the founder of Aristocrat Insurance Group; a Yeudi, by all rights.

Born in 2615 and raised in Kafuristan, Theodore jumped to the forefront of shipping and petroleum by sheer dump luck; he leased 4 of his father's flailing ships to the coast guard, which sunk them, compensating the broke lad with millions. Through a self-imposed exile in Keymon and a marriage with Jacquil Debua of Rildanor, Theodore became the titan of what later became the Kafuri National Oil Company (KNOC).

His lineage eventually moved to Wantuni, formed the Kalopian Regime Coalition, broke the Kalopian diaspora, founded Kalopia, formed the Global Peacekeeping Organisation, fought wars and conquered nations.

Throughout all that time, the Aristocrat House managed to own entire sectors and entire industries in entire nations; carrying AIG to almost a trillion LOD, until the landscape became blurry with the fall of the Queens Monarchy of Kalopia in 2737. John Aristocrat had long disappeared from the public eye, with a friend of the family taking the lead in affairs, also falling into convenient obscurity by 2792.

While the Aristocrat lineage survived to this day, so did a secret. A secret that Baruch Lea Tzafrir, a distant descendant of the immediate bloodline, discovered in 5202, almost 3000 years later. When his Chief of Staff passed on the gravest of news that would make him the scapegoat of the Yeudi Conclave.

That grave, the one in Kafuristan; it was dug open.

In his exile in Keymon, Theodore stumbled upon a piece of Yeudish legend in the notes of Yeladim Keshef, of the Keshef House of the Kadmonim. A legend that spoke of a Yeudi Crown of 8 Gems, forged by Elior in Yishelem. Back then, during the Qedarite Migrations when the Birites scattered in search of Ariel's promised Holy Land to the West.

Elior vowed to unite his people across 8 continents under one legacy. A Yeudi Heritage of 8 Gems, first held by Ishmael I, the 1st Yeudi Monarch of the 1st Yeudi Homeland and the Sacred Monarchy of Beiteynu.

Elior, the one of the House of Elior.

Summary: Yeudicho (in reference of Beiteynu's ICBMs) is a collection of headlines with expert analyses by Gem Publishing, tracking the history of the Equifund; why it was formed by the Beiteynuese Government, how it transformed internationally to rival ADG and the agnostic marketplace of equipment it is today.

-

The Equifund began as a state investment fund by the Beiteynuese Government in 5227, for the purpose of reinvigorating and raising the country's defense sector to international competence.

After billions in investments from multiple countries, a variety of small, medium and big companies forming and the exponential rise of demand for the supply of military equipment, the Equifund unshackled itself and in 5295 became the independent consortium it is today.

From 5357 to 5364, the consortium finally transitioned to an independent index from multiple states, diminishing Beiteynu's leadership - and the need for any other leadership, for that matter.
