Khattaya, South Dovani: The world's largest condom company, Kondom Kildanja (Cildanian Condom; CSX:KK) has signed a major deal with South Dovani's largest manufacturer and exporter of latex and rubber products, the Khattaya Rubber Latex Group, or KHATTEX (UNX:KTX). Under the deal, Khattex will produce around 160 million units annually under Kondom Kildanja's Shabi and ManPower brands.

Kondom Kildanja CEO Alwiġi Pene-Qasir describe the deal as a "stroke of genius." Under the deal, all Khattex-produced Shabi and ManPower condoms will be manufactured from natural latex, sourced from smallholders and farmers in rural South Dovani. The deal is very advantageous for Kondom Kildanja, given the cheap cost of both labour and natural rubber in South Dovani's domestic market.

"South Dovani is already one of the world's leading producers of natural rubber," noted Mr. Pene-Qasir. "It only makes sense that we would produce our rubbers here!"

South Dovani Sapphires Fetch $2m at Dalibor Auction

Dalibor City, Dalibor: A lot consisting of ten brilliant unmounted sapphires from South Dovani were the talk of the quarterly Dalibor City Gem Show, where they were sold for over $2 million. Accordingly, the lot set a record for the highest realized results of sapphires at a major international auction. After generating interest from eleven buyers, the sapphires were bought by an undisclosed Kerisian collector.

As the global market has developed an insatiable demand for gems, particularly in Kalistan and other developed economies, prices for rare gemstones and precious metals have soared. While this is welcome news for the mining sector of leading gem exporters, overwhelmingly comprised of developing economies such as South Dovani, Yerrawa, and Utaristan, instability in Eastern South Dovani and Utaristan has thus far contributed towards the global gem price spike.
