FARMAKON-Z RETURNS TO "BUSINESS AS USUAL"

A new direction for operations in Artania and compensation by Likatonia

Nordenhaus, a major marketplace of the Artanian continent

Business in Artania performed by FARMAKON-Z will be continued with provisional headquarters set up in Nordenhaus, Dundorf. While the landlocked nation offers a less than optimal position for the trade network of Zardugal’s pharma conglomerate, the relative political stability and the welcoming treatment of workers who fled from Kundrati after the KL-coup were very much appreciated. Currently there are no plans known regarding a potential restauration of the lost radiopharmaceutics manufacturing facilities , although necessary resources would be available in Dundorf. For now FARMAKON-Z is only interested in selling their products on the Artanian market and does not intend to invest in production outside of Zardugal any longer.

Furthermore Likatonia, who purchased a significant portion of the Zardic assets which were seized by the Kundrati Legion, accepted to compensate FARMAKON-Z. Seemingly at the time the deal was struck Likatonian negotiators were in fact not aware of the exact circumstances of procurement of the assets that were offered to them. It is assumed that the Kundrati Legion deliberately concealed these details in order to tempt Likatonia into signing the contract. After the exact course of events surrounding the brand new acquisition became known to the Likatonian public, their government immediately initiated negotiations over a compensation with representatives of the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs and the Chair of FARMAKON-Z. The issue was settled suprisingly quickly resulting in a financial compensation which was "adequate and very satisfactory" according to Zardic negotiators. Likatonia is regarded as absolved of their obligations towards Zardugal, although many Zardic officials could not entirely hide their amusement at the apparent cluelessness of the Likatonian government.
