Gasstrien acquires Yeosong Energy Corporation for $65 Billion
Gasstrien acquires Yeosong Energy Corporation for $65 Billion, hands over corporation to Kraftproduksjon.

27th June, 4193

State-owned oil and natural gas company, Gasstrien sealed a $65 Billion Dollar acquisition deal of the Dranish Yeosong Energy Corporation (major energy generation company in Dranland). The transaction was completed earlier this morning after CEO of the Yeosong Energy Corporation, Ki Sung-Ho and Chairman handed the corporate rights of the corporation to CEO of Gasstrien, Edvard Ingebritson. After the negotiation process, Ki Sung-Ho ended up with $20 Billion LOD and the remaining $45 Billion LOD was broken down evenly between the company's shareholders and a pension fund established by Gasstrien immediately during the negotiation process. Around $22.5 Billion was placed into the pension fund which has been plastered to the Kazulian Government Economic Stabilization Fund.

Immediately after the acquisition process was completed, Gasstrien Chairman Edvard Ingebritson handed the Yeosong Energy Corporation over to Kraftproduksjon, the state's main energy generation company and the main competitor of the Yeosong Energy Corporation. The hand-over makes Kraftproduksjon, the largest energy generation company in the region of Dovani and wider eastern hemisphere. The move, seemingly orchestrated jointly by Gasstrien and Kraftproduksjon has been labelled as the largest take-over in the history of Kazulia, even surpassing the Kazulian Government's $57 Billion LOD acquisition of Gasstrien years prior.

Already Kraftproduksjon has been making radical reforms to the structure of the Yeosong Energy Corporation, now called DranoGen. It has taken over the pension fund established by Gasstrien to safeguard the percent of money allocated to the workers of the corporations in the event of a collapse of the corporation's management and operations and has fully integrated it into the subsidiary. It has also shifted DranoGen away from fossil fuel based energy production, to stringent alternative energy source production scheme. Across the country, Coal plants and mines have been shut-down as a result of this shift in policy of DranoGen. Those working in the coal plants and coal mines have been sent to the company's "soon to open" hydroelectric plants and wind energy farms.

Economists have stated that these Kazulian companies have shown how much power can be garnered by a company which has little to worry with respect to market regulation. It is confirmed that Kraftproduksjon and the larger Kazulian Government through DranoGen now controls the Dranish energy generation market, as DranoGen is the largest producer of energy for the United Peninsula of Free Dranland.

"We saved your energy sector, you should be thankful" ~ Kraftproduksjon Chairman to Dranish President.

8th June, 4194

The political spectrum within Dranland has been at high arms with the recent acquisition of the Yeosong Energy Corporation by Gasstrien and later Kraftproduksjon, as the company now generates and distributes 99% of energy within the United Peninsula. Dranland's power generation company, the Yeosong Energy Corporation which enjoyed a a five decade period of competition from other power generation companies (the most recent being Kraftproduksjon), was acquired by state-owned oil and natural gas company Gasstrien, where later the company was handed over to Kraftproduksjon, Kazulia's sole power generation company. In response to the acquisition, President of Dranland Ri Jong-su and members of his Popular Action Party, have initiated a name calling campaign against the socialist Dranish government and Kazulians in general.

In a statement from Dranish News, it was reported that President Ri Jong-su referenced Kazulia to communism by indirectly referencing the country as "Kazulian commissars" with another politician by the name of Han Dae Kim, a Popular Action Party Backbencher and Chairman of the Presidential Caucus, directly referencing Kazulians to communists and being well known for corruption, even pushing the envelope further to call the country a "hellhole". In response to the statement made by the two politicians, Chairman of Kraftproduksjon, Kasper Gilbertsen came out in defence of the decision taken by the company.

There are no regulations pertaining to the energy sector of the Dranish Republic. Whereas regulations should be centered on enforcing fair pricing, security of supply, environmental performance and a greater push for quality and efficiency, in the Dranish Republic these regulations do not exist and as such companies are now able to manipulate the prices, quality and supply security of the power generation sector. As seen with the Yeosong Energy Corporation where they would make their own prices based on their own accords. It is nowhere fair to the consumer and is stringently off balance with respect to confidentiality. By carving up the Yeosong Energy Corporation we have introduced our own form of regulation with respect to energy. We have introduced a price-cap, incentive aimed at ensuring energy supply security for consumers as well as using our international accredited standards for quality energy production.

Secondly, unenforced environmental policies have allowed companies to escape from being pressured with respect to emissions. The Yeosong Energy Corporation, which used coal and natural gas as its main sources of energy, according to our environmental analysts has contributed to roughly 10% of the air pollution within the country. It is not a qualitative environment for any form of work. With the acquisition of the Yeosong Energy Corporation, ALL of its coal plants and mines across the country were shut down and its workers were transferred to other less environmentally destructive projects. In replacement for the energy produced by the coal plants and mines we have begun to construct more hydroelectric plants and installing solar energy farms throughout the country plus we are currently constructing a 200 Mega-Watt wind farm in the province of Arfordir Cymru.

Thirdly, Improving Consumer confidence in the energy sector. As a utility company we have an image which we must maintain, that being one that can provide a secure, reliable and affordable supply of energy/power. Due to the fluctuating energy prices caused by the Yeosong Energy Corporation's failure to ensure a constant stream/flow of energy, due to their use of fossil fuels, confidence in the energy sector was lost. By our company investing in infrastructure that will ensure these welfare incentives we were able to establish a community against the "Not in my front yard" opposition, which has allowed us to streamline consumer friendly incentives.

There are many reasons as to why this acquisition was executed, however, i would like to ensure the Dranish population that this was not done to try to have an external force "control or manipulate" your economy and your overall well-being, instead it was done to save your energy sector which was dying at a rapid pace. To President Ri Jong-su and Han Dae Kim, We (Kraftproduksjon) has saved YOUR energy sector, you should at-least be thankful.


Rumours have been spreading throughout the country of the possibility of a government response to the company's actions. Many assume that this response is the Economic National Security Act which will foreign companies to obtain government approval before making investments into national companies, whilst other assume that it would be a legislation aimed at outlawing monopolies. Chairman Gilbertsen stated that his legal team will be prepare for both scenarios seeing that the company intends on doing many things with DranoGen (formerly the Yeosong Energy Corporation).

"Let strategic oversight and cautious planning rule over emotions." Chief of Defence Staff.
Chief of Defence Staff in Istalia warns Istalian President on threatening military actions towards New Endralon.
1st July, 4194

Chief of Defence Staff Lt. General Henning Sivertsen is in the southern majatran republic of Istalia. The visit by the Chief of Defence Staff comes amid a peak in tensions between the Confederation of New Endralon and the Istalian Republic posterior to an unprecedented move executed by the New Endralonian government. It was reported in Istalia newspapers that the New Endralonian government introduced a series of steps aimed at being hostile towards various governments. These steps include: the establishment of an embargo on both Baltusia and Istalia, the nationalization of istalian and baltusian assets within the country as well as the expulsion of istalians and baltusian residing in the country posterior to the 72-hour window of opportunity announced by the New Endralonian government.

In response to the actions taken by the New Endralonian government, President of the Istalian Republic Lorenzo Verhoeven, warned the New Endralonians of the asymmetrical response by republic if hostile actions are directed towards their citizens within the country. President Verhoeven addressed the Istalian Parliament, where he said
Honorable Members of Parliament. Again, we are facing madness and the hatred against our Nation! The Government of New Endralon, without any motivation, unilaterally decided to proceed against us with an embargo and expelling all the istalian citizens by its territory. But, furthermore, now it is menacing to arrest istalian citizens on the basis of "suspect" of intelligence activities on its territory.Ladies and Gentlemen, once again istalian citizens are menaced to be arrested because the irrationality of another authoritarian and repressive regime afflicted by forms of persecution syndrome and by paranoia, this time this Government is that of a Nation to which Istalian never had excessive relations and with which never we have to do until now. I'm personally sick of all this! We not only must face the terrorist menace of extremist fanatics, but now we must once again we have to fear for the safety of our citizens abroad. And personally, I think that it is time to take definitive and firm actions to show to the rest of the world that Istalia is not a country that can be constantly threatened without any consequences. Already once to save our citizens we had to submit to the requests of a criminal and totalitarian government, a real shame in the eyes of the world. But this time it will not be the same! Without taking clear and resolute actions implemented without hesitation, our country will continue to be targeted by any rogue nation or organization of this world. I also want to inform you that New Endralon is proceeding with the same sanctions and also the same threats against our dear ally of Baltusia with which the Presidency has already made contact. I know that many of you will criticize this proposal, but we have to say stop to these constant blackmail! If we are obliged, we will abide by force and fear! So, this is my proposal: if only New Endralon dares to proceed against one of our citizens, arresting or preventing him from returning safety in Istalia, such action will be considered as an attempt to trigger a military conflict and that we will proceed immediately with a naval and air blockade of the nation and if even then the local government were to refuse to cooperate, we will consider us officially at war with New Endralon with all the consequences that will follow, especially for them.

Chief of Defence Staff Henning Sivertsen payed particular attention of the President's threats to impose a blockade against the Confederation in response to any form of hostile actions towards their citizens by elements of the New Endralonian state. He stated that President Verhoeven's approach to the situation was unnecessary and could in fact hinder a possible peaceful process. He stated that the President's threats to impose a naval blockade is not the asymmetrical response which should be mounted by the republic but suggested that instead of threatening to impose a meaningless blockade, use the diplomatic power which they have as a member of the World Congress Security Council. Lt. General Sivertsen spoke to media personnel where he said,
The President escalating a situation which does not have to be escalated. By proposing to impose a naval blockade will not improve his situation. According to international rule of engagement a blockade is an immediate declaration of war. To impose an air blockade (which we call a No-Fly Zone), the Istalian Air Force will have to knock every single New Endralonian military and civilian aircraft out of the skies of the country. It would be impossible for him to impose a no-fly zone plus a naval blockade without the New Endralonian state responding through an immediate declaration of war. He must let strategic oversight and cautious planning rule over his emotions. His current state of emotions is how foolish conflicts are started. Instead i suggest, I urge him, to use the diplomatic power which his government posses as a member of the World Congress Security Council, as a means of resolving this issue. I also urge him to comply with the requests of the New Endralonian Government.
Being problematic will not improve his situation.

The Kingdom of Kazulia is an active member of the Organization of Collective Security and Cooperation and according to the provision defined in the treaty, An attack on one contracting party is an attack on all contracting parties. It is speculated that although Chief of Defence Staff Sivertsen is in Istalia with the aims of ensuring the republic of Kazulia's dedication to its mutual defence, he comes as a voice of warning, pushing the notion of avoiding conflict rather than wanting to instigate. Kazulia has had similar incidences with the New Endralonian government. As they have learn't from their interaction, the New Endralonian will not stop at systematically destroying themselves, as such they should be allowed to do so on their own. In order to ensure the security and well-being of Istalia's interests in the country, they should uphold a key principle in politics and negotiations: Compliance.

"Cooperation in turbulent times is imperative." ~ Defence Minister.
Defence Minister dispatched to Hutori to broker further military and political cooperation.
11th October, 4194

Amid increasing tensions throughout the world, Minister of Defence Harald Wilhelmsen has been sent by Statsminister Dagfinn Stangeland to strengthen the current military ties with the nations of the northern hemisphere and the Kingdom of Kazulia. Recent tensions such as the developing internal conflict in Rutania, the diplomatic situation between the Istalian Republic and the Confederation of New Endralon as well as the political and economic uncertainty in the region of Dovani, has set the pretext for a spread in international uncertainty and worry. In an attempt to strengthen relations between the various nations of the northern hemisphere, as it is seen that a unified northern hemisphere is a stable northern hemisphere, Defence Minister Harald Wilhelmsen has been sent to the Federal Republic of Hutori to strengthen military and political relations between the two countries.

In a post stortinget media briefing, Minister of Defence Harald Wilhelmsen spoke to the media pertaining to the move taken by the Statsminister to send him to the northern federal republic to strengthen political and military relations.
With the string of political, social and economic uncertainty spreading throughout the world, it is important that the world has a stable northern hemisphere. To directly quote former Foreign Affairs Minister Ellinor Ketelsen "The World is at a byroad and needs a stable northern hemisphere." I believe that the northern hemisphere should not be region of pessimism, demographic imbalances nor economic crash and burns. Instead it should be the pinnacle of economic growth and mutual cooperation. Cooperation in turbulent times is imperative.


It is expected that Defence Minister Wilhelmsen will discuss matters of mutual cooperation and understand with various Hutorian political figures such as Prime Minister Alexander Urquhart, Foreign Affairs Minister Nigel Brown and his Hutorian counterpart, Defence Minster Ryan DeCoste. It is assumed that the Organisation for Collective Security and Cooperation would be a matter of discussion as well, including matters pertaining to the current diplomatic spat between the Confederation of New Endralon and the Istalian Republic, seeing that it is within the regional sphere of the federal republic. Defence Minister Wilhelmsen is expected to remain in Hutori for six (6) days where he will return before the stortinget's approval of the ratification of the Treaty of the Organisation for Collective Security and Cooperation.

OOC: We're having a problem with the accuracy of this statement, since Dranish law has, for a long time, clearly been stating that there is no guaranteed monopoly on power generation and that multiple private companies are responsible for this.

Stangeland's Transcontinental Tour.
Statsminister visits Luthori, Istalia and Hutori to boost military and economic cooperation.
Image

11th May, 4196

Statsminister Dagfinn Stangeland recently returned home after his transcontinental tour, as apart of his drive to promote economic and military cooperation between Kazulia and international partners. A few days ago he landed in Fort William, Luthori which marks the first time that a Statsminister has visited Artania in over fifty (50) years. During his time, he spoke to the Luthorian Prime Minister, Augustus Penrose and the Foreign Minister Mary Litchfield-Sutherland on the current events in Rutania as well as regional issues within Dovani. Also on the table for discussion was a formal diplomatic and military alliance with the Holy Luthori Empire as well as increased cooperation through the Organisation for Collective Security and Cooperation.
We believe that the Holy Luthorian Empire can be a valuable economic and military partner as we both share similar economic and cultural interests. If we are to be successful in aligning ourselves with the Holy Luthori Empire we can be a moving force for development and cooperation.


After his three (3) day stay in Fort William, Stangeland jetted off to Hutori where he met with the Foreign Minister Nigel Brown, Prime Minister Alexander Urquhart and President John William Henry. He discussed the continuation of the current informal military alliance with the Federal Republic and even pushed for the formation of a formal agreement. Also discussed was economic cooperation and the Hutori-Istalia-Kazulia-Luthori Axis. Statsminister Stangeland stated that a joint intelligence alliance was proposed, mainly on the basis of intelligence sharing. Finally he jetted off to Istalia where he proposed similar plans with President Lorenzo Verhoeven and Foreign Affairs Minister Salvo Autieri.

"Dorvish Government would be incompetent to counsel with genocidal perpetrators." ~ Foreign Ministry Spokesman
Foreign Affairs Ministry Spokesman rips into Dorvish Government for requesting counsel with Narikaton Reich in celebratory event.
2nd November, 4196

In light of the Dorvish Government's preparation to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Federal Republic, much controversy had arose in the Dorvish parliament, the Bundesversammlung (Federal Assembly). Politicians/parliamentarians from various Dorvish political parties such as the Pragmatische Partei (Pragmatic Party), the Soziale Nationalistische Partei (Social Nationalist Party) and the Grüne Liberale Partei (Green Liberal Party) have called upon the government, specifically the Head of Government Chancellor Anke-Marie Stier to sever relations with the so-called "Narikaton Reich" for their genocidal actions. Although Dietrich Vettel (a government spokesman) and Chancellor Stier trying to defend their claim for inviting the genocidal nation to the celebratory event, it failed to offer formidable and thought-worthy points of discussion pertaining to their defence of the move to invite the Reich. Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Torbjørn Christiansen ripped into the Dorvish Government, specifically the Konservative Union (Conservative Union) for both defending their claim of the invited party's innocence and no pressuring the Reich to own up to their actions.
Recognizing the fact that the nation in question has perpetrated some of the most heinous crimes against humanity in the history of the Artanian continent, it is irrational and nonsensical for the Dorvish Government to invite the genocidal nation's government to an event aimed at celebrating 30th anniversary of the nation's federal status. It is frivolous for the Dorvish Government to defend its invitation of the nation among extreme liberal nations. Not to their knowledge the Narikaton nation recent came out from an election where a Von Thallist spore came out on top, with the secondary party coming around third and/or fourth. Which means that if this plan is to go forward to invite the nation, the genocidal perpetrators will be among its victims. It will not longer be an event to celebrate Dorvik's federal status, it will be an event to celebrate Dorvik's return to the ages of genocidal harbouring and irrationally incompetent behavior. The Dorvish Government would be incompetent to counsel with genocidal perpetrators, however the moves of the Chancellor have proven the fact that they are incompetent after all.

When asked to comment on the Chancellor's statements on not wanting to push the Narik Government to change its policy on ethnic affairs where she said, "I am sorry to hear that, and will regret your absence, unfortunately I will not push the newly elected Narikaton's government as it is not our issue to resolve," he blasted the Chancellor for her hard headed approach to politics and ethnic affairs.
It is a usual tendency of conservative parties (which the Konservative Union, the Chancellor's party belongs to) to be irrational with respect to ethnic affairs.
Similar examples of this outlandish approach to such affairs can to be seen the Democratic Yeudish Party and the Nationalkapitalistischer Flügel. I know that due to the urgency of the matter, many of the nations invited to the event will boycott due to both the chancellor's statements and the move to invite the genocidal regime. The Foreign Ministry will not comment any further with respect to the incompetence of the Dorvish Government, it is our belief that incompetence is an extremely contagious disease (which has already infected the Dorvish Government, although Chancellor Anke-Marie Stier appeared to be born with the ailment) as such we wish not to contract such a illness.

Christiansen ended his statement by calling upon the nations of Artania to boycott the celebratory event. He also called upon the Dorvish opposition movement to carry on the struggle of the intellectual movement, for an anti-intellectual strain is proving to be a detrimental factor in the demise of Dorvish Society.

Kongeforsvar contingent withdraws from Utembo-Bianjie border.
As conflict arises Kongeforsvar contingent withdraws from peacekeeping mission to "prevent the carpet bombing of both countries"
Image
Armoured units of the 1st Intervention Battalion on the beach of Bianjie prior to embarking on the KNOS-Queen Ingrid to be sailed back to the port in Kazulia.
12th January, 4197

The Government has decided to halt the dispatch of troops of the Kongeforsvar to its mission in Utembo and Bianjie after conflict between the two countries broke out after the death of King Ahmed VII. The Kongeforsvar has funneled troops into its Utembo-Bianjie Peacekeeping/Intervention mission as a means of prolonging the inevitable conflict between the two nations. In a press conference, Statsminister Dagfinn Stangeland announced the government's decision to withdraw the contingent was in the interests of the soldiers involved and more-so the region itself. Highlighting the fact that the conflict (if Kazulians were to stay) would not only involve the two nations and the their respective armed forces, but due to the losses of the minuscule mechanized battalion, the Kongeforsvar would release its force upon both parties in response to the attempts against the lives of the Kongeforsvar troops.

The decision reflect on the concept that the Kazulian Government would have be un-involved with a conflict than be directly involved. Commander of the peacekeeping/intervention contingent, Lieutenant Colonel Haakon Underberg, stated that during the period of time in the countries, the objectives of the contingent would completed, those being: the prevent/prolonging of a conflict between Utembo and Bianjie, the re-installment of a peaceful force in the country and finally the development of a close partnership with locals and government officials of the like. Lieutenant Colonel Underberg stated that if the government had no withdrawn the force and they had remained in the country, and a threat was presented against them, they would respond with the minuscule but effective might and would eventually dispatch for reinforcement, which would pull Kazulia into a conflict which it originally tried to prevent from happening.
