MOD's inclusivity "Serve. Protect. Deter." marketing campaign paves the way for increased integration with the Khaganate
November 5565

[Image: Ads-Horizontal.png]

Yishelem, Beiteynu - With a hefty budget of 2.5M LFR in ad spending, the Ministry of Defence's inclusivity ads were hard to miss since the Beiteynuese Government's "all inclusive" policy was introduced for the entire military back in August. It's been reported by Alef Bet - the leader in programmatic advertising - that several campaign posts did not meet the "necessary criteria" and thus failed to make the cut. However, the first round of conscripted young persons this fall did include a number of individuals that do not identify with the traditional norms of man and woman.

The initiative has been called "a success met with mixed feelings" by high-ranking military officials from Yishelem, with most of them referring to the military's state of lack of preparedness to support the increased numbers of incoming trainees.

As part of the robust reforms brought forth by the Yeudi Homeland's entry into the Empire of the Jelbic Peoples, the Beiteynuese Magafaim (Army) will be re-opening a number of bootcamps in the Desert Bank - bootcamps set to include rather brutal training regimes for reserve forces; bootcamps rumoured to be led by training officers of the Khaganate itself from Vanuku.

A set of "counter-invasion" and "invasion" exercises will also take place in the southern parts of the West Bank, together with Vanuku, which will put the army and the navy head to head south of Rishon Le Hofesh, as Vanuku attempts to simulate an invasion.

Grab your popcorn: "Hashmada" hits streaming services this Friday with a worldwide release
January 5567

[Image: mushroom_cloud001.jpg?quality=75&w=1500]

Valois, Lourenne - Sinama Eayn al-Nasr from Badara has taken the lead this time in the production of a blockbuster film from quite the number of movie producers and distributors, originally announced at the Valois Film Festival a few years ago. Executives from the company have been adamant in the press about how Badaran film-making needed a "jumpstart" from a supporting role to a leading role for years. Although film-makers from Lourenne were somewhat critical of the movie and its story about nuclear weapons development due to its "destructive nature in a peaceful world", the producer from Badara persisted rather admirably and managed to held onto the initial support and excitement from stakeholders.

Hashmada, which means "annihilation" in Yeudish, chronicles the story of Beiteynu's alleged nuclear weapons development program supposedly having started in 5228, a year after Keren Shlomo introduced the Equifund and the mysterious Black Beisa started signing documents.

Although a few detonations across the decades - including the tragic loss of a commercial airliner during a supposed controlled detonation westward of Narikaton and Darnussia - seemed to point to the existence of such a program, it was never exactly revealed what happened to it.

Prof. Na'ari remarks upon the Changing World Order
September 5567

[Image: women-professor.jpg?id=29544637&width=12...%2C0%2C724]

Yishelem, Beiteynu - "Looking at the past and history's endless cycles of rising and falling nations, organisations and empires", Prof. Na'ari said in her opening remark with one of our journalists, "you can see certain patterns emerging, especially when things rise and when things fall".

Prof. Na'ari was the leading author behind the "The Changing World Order", which was published by the Neset Institute of Yishelem - the Yeudi Homeland's and the Yeudish Neset's main "repository" of diplomats.

So we took her out on a fancy dinner, where she laid out her points for us.

"After all, the macro is but a reflection of the micro; we are born, we strive for accomplishments, we make connections to accomplish our goals and we change and adapt as others follow the same trajectory, just like us".

-

First, we can observe that Dorvik was at a certain high point in 5200. Let's call that Point C. At the first half of that century, Beiteynu began using a number of geopolitical situations to get from a localised sphere to a more regional one by 5250.

Thus, we have a first possible pattern: to get from Point A to Point B, it seems that one needs to leverage geopolitical opportunities.

Meanwhile, Dorvik scaled back to Point B. We can verify that by contrasting the regional spheres of influence of both nations against the increasing tensions of one attempting to interfere in the other's sphere.

Case and point, Luthori, Kundrati and the notorious Migrant's Pass.

Our second pattern: a rising Point B is ultimately bound to challenge Point Cs.

-

Then we reach 5300. Something different happens here. Beiteynu jumps from Point B to Point C, at which point one could argue that what Dorvik was for Artania, Beiteynu became for Majatra. The restoration of a Yeudi controlled MSCO seems to attest to that.

Here's our third pattern: a Point C seems to include a firm grasp of continental influence, and even beyond.

But the question of getting there remains, which seems that it can only be answered by the expanse of diplomatic and economic relations. Simply put, Beiteynu, and Dorvik before that, expanded their reach and implanted themselves on international markets.

And that's our fourth pattern: to get from Point B to Point C, it seems that one needs to establish its own international network.

At the same time, Lourenne begins jumping from Point A to Point B, ultimately bound to challenge the new Point C.

-

By 5350, Beiteynu had become a monstrosity. We can call that Point D. But how does that work? What constitutes either the transition from Point C to Point D and Point D itself? 

We believe its currency and how one's currency is ultimately used everywhere via trade. That's our fifth pattern.

Beiteynu had become the single biggest and undisputed trade player globally.

At the same time, we can see Lourenne jumping to Point C - remember the WDU and the United Kingdom's naval expansions at the time? Luthori ultimately jumps to Point B, piggybacking on the state of affairs that Beiteynu had created, just like Beiteynu had done with Dorvik.

-

By 5400, the LFR came into play - our fifth pattern - putting Lourenne firmly at Point D. While Majatra was plagued by two major crises, Deltaria, using our first pattern of leveraging geopolitical situations, rose from Point A to Point B.

By now, we can start reading the rising ones by our five patterns.

-

And in 5450 - 5500, the War of Lost Souls between Beiteynu and Lourenne happened, as both clashed for Point E. We'll get back to Point E in just a moment. What happened after the war?

Beiteynu traded its currency with Lourenne's LFR. The reverse fifth pattern. Our seventh pattern.

Our sixth pattern? Point E. A single undisputed global leader that rises out of Point Ds battling it out.

We can probably surmise four more declining patterns, now.

-

Thus, our patterns:
  1. RISE - Leveraging geopolitical events to pursue your goals
  2. RISE - Challenging regional players
  3. RISE - Establishing your own international network
  4. RISE - Attaining firm grasp of your continent
  5. RISE - Reaching a level where your currency is used in transactions almost everywhere
  6. Become the world's leader by pushing out your equals
  7. FALL - Your trade and currency is replaced with another's
  8. FALL - Your grasp of your continent diminishes
  9. FALL - Your network fades into the background
  10. FALL - Your position is challenged by others
  11. FALL - Your leverage on geopolitical events is lost to others
-

All in all, it seems that Beiteynu is definitely on our 10th pattern with the rise of the 3rd Point Federation and the Jelbic Empire and is firmly on track to reach the 11th, as opportunities such as the current one in Istalia are leveraged by others against Beiteynu.

Lourenne, on the other hand, stands firmly on the 6th pattern, with no one remotely close to the 4th, with the only candidates being the same aforementioned two, curiously supported by Beiteynu.

For the 3rd pattern, we can only observe Lodamun and Kalistan from Seleya, Xsampa from Dovani and Narikaton and Darnussia from Artania.

-

What's the most relevant pattern for your nation, at present?

And more importantly; what has fate next in store for it?

Navy inaugurates 4th homeland fleet under the auspices of the 3rd Point Federation
February 5568

Himmelshtern, Beiteynu - With proceedings towards the restructure of the Yishelhafen Pact, a mutual defence pact between Beiteynu and Narikaton and Darnussia primarily focused on the Migrant's Pass, underway, the scenery seems to resemble more and more of a trilateral formation including Pontesi and by extension the Jelbic Empire in Majatra and what officials have been eyeing as the Pan-Dundorfian League in Artania.

As part of the reforms, the Naval Chief of the Beiteynuese Naval Command was joint by the Narik and Darnussian 3rd Point Liaison and announced the formation of the whimsically called "Yishelhafen Fleet", to be based out of the 3rd Point itself.

The new fleet is set to include 4 flotillas, with the 33rd comprised of 4 Sa'ar 6-class corvettes procured by Beir Leshet in Kundrati already undergoing sea trials. For the 39th, to be mandated with operations in the Red Bass Ocean, the MOD's Department of Defence Contracts is reportedly in discussions with Jadjohydwasfabrk Hafndam and Vrijstaal/Lofrsko from Vanuku for the procurement of several Froahiko-class submarines.

Discussions between Equifund executives seem to include Sato and indicate towards the development of a Yeudicho IRBM weapons system for the Froahiko-class, ultimately set to create a specialised variant for the entire Khaganate.

-

The BNC is also looking to procure 3 Kaliburg-class destroyers from Kalistan for the fleet, at a whopping cost of almost 15B.

Meet the navy's "Ballistic Defence" doctrine
February 5568

[Image: Jericho-Missile-ADoomsday-Weapon.jpeg]

Amshinov, Beiteynu - Sato's test launches of the recently unveiled decoy-capable Yeudicho 8 ICBM/IRBMs in the Desert Bank last week essentially confirmed the Tzafrir Administration's intentions of circling back to the navy's 5480 doctrine in the aftermath of the devastating losses during the War of Lost Souls with Lourenne; losses that exposed the Yeudi Homeland's inability at acting as a heavyweight naval force.

Curiously, both the Ministry of Defence and the Kohav in Yishelem had decided that tactical command of Beiteynu's arsenal of ballistic missiles would fall under the Beiteynuese Naval Command, not the Magafaim (Army), having introduced the Hosheh as a separate bureau from the Lavian.

Most analysts refer to that decision as a continuation of the former MOD Agresiv Difens's doctrine, one that represents an oxymoron at best, citing Himmelshtern's "excuses at defence" to present "assertive movements" that are "far beyond a defensive scope".

-

The Beiteynuese Naval Command's introduction of the Yishelhafen Fleet comes packing with a set of defence contracts that seem to point to both the research and development of ballistic missile weapons systems for various warships, as well as Sato's and Black Beisa's involvement with Equifund manufacturers from Badara, Vanuku and Narikaton and Darnussia on "diversified" frigates for all homeland fleets.

It's also expected that the Kaliburg-class destroyer and the Froahiko-class nuclear powered submarine will become the main tactical and reconnaissance vessels respectively of the Yeudi, Lekavot and Hofesh Fleets, as a continuation of the Yishelhafen Fleet.

-

Rumours have also began circulating on the re-introduction of Zaar Fleets; this time, under the direct command of the Khaganate.
