Desert Bank secedes under Haifbourg's leadership, after extensive Jelbic pressure from Wiel and Melikvan  

October 5606

Haifbourg, Desert Bank - The mysterious lands of the Desert Bank have rarely made major headlines; outside ballistic missiles, questionable human-made earthquakes and the endless stack of nuclear power plants adorning the eastern sides of the Karkaari, it has little to offer except for the most adventurous of tourists. And the most courageous of the Beiteynuese Defence Force, who undergo the infamous regiments of Jelbic notoriety.

An arid landscape, stretching for miles and miles, the sight only breaks when E3 reaches Amshinov to the north - aridness gives way to some green splashes, even around the Yeladim Lake (Lake of the Children).

To the east, the massive mountains of Pontesi break the horizon, as if the ground itself is furious with the cloudless sky above. The only habitants are found in the south; south of Mt. Mushafakir itself and the massive crater that used to be filled with salty water in ages past.

Jelbic, Ahmadi, Majatran; the cities and towns close to the border with Barmenistan have barely had relations with Yishelem in the first place. With the Empire of the Jelbic People's extensive influence in both governance and culture in recent decades, the divide has become a chasm.

-

Under normal circumstances, the Homeland State would have entered election period by now, leading up to 5608; with Himmelshtern, Sholemberg, Tel Bira, Rishon Le Hofesh and now Haifbourg out of the Beiteynuese Government's reach, the political landscape in Yishelem seems all but moot.

Evidently, Beiteynu now exists more on paper, than substance, creating massive bureaucratic hindrances along the way.

-

"We are the pillars of this land and the diaspora", the Secretary of Haifbourg concluded; "not Yishelem, not anymore".
