Troubles in Transformation

The newly founded “Triad” what priorly was Narikaton and Darnussia has been quite busy in establishing the new state authority and rebranding the institutions of the nation. What proved to be difficult is the still unstable and not clarified situation of the Beiteynese Sucessor States, the former central authority of Beiteynu, the Nisrad of Yishleme still claims the title of being the Moledet Medinat and shows no sign of surrender. This perpetuates the weird limbo state Himmelshtern finds itself in, somewhere between a semi-independent city-state and a part of the a new central government located in Bannerhafen. Visibly aged Reichskanzlerin Jette Marissen and her technocratic caretaker government still represent the confidence of the provisional Senate Convention on the Future of the Dual Monarchy, the remnant of the former nation-state that was Narikaton-and-Darnussia that still stands. The legislative assembly is still bickering on details on constitutional provisions and norms while the cabinet is working towards establishing information networks and interconnect the state-infrastructure of N&D and Himmelshtern. Administrative officials stated in anonymous comments that this appeared less challenging a few years ago when the integration process began. Harald Unteroberberg, a representative which acts a mediatory between Bannerhafen and Richy Geilberg, the secretary of Himmelshtern found more concrete words. “There is a lot of uh… corruption and other personel purge- uh.. cleaning measures to finish, we’re currently replacing the whole political and system as well as the officials. It is something of a re-opening if you want to put it in business terms.” At the same time the Highest Financial Authority in Bannerhafen is trying to find ways to finance the enormously bloated naval force the new nation has inherited from combining the great Armada and the formerly Beiteynese Navy. What is adding to the troubles is the brewing diplomatic momentum against the presence of Bannerhafen in Dovani. For a century now Narikaton and Darnussia has maintained a positive and mutually beneficial foreign policy in Dovani generally, for example New Verham and Nsanlosa. What was a major project back in the day was the joint renovation and reconstruction of the Midway channel, part of the deal was shared control contracts between the two governments, Midway retains the last-say in all matters but has agreed to international arbitrage in events of legal conflicts. Now political developments in the region see a rise in negative publicity, time will tell what the future might brings, there has not been commentary from the Directorate of the Foreign Affairs yet.
