Nisrads accept Xsampan terms of surrender; strict non-aggression pact to be formulated and signed

October 5638

Tel Bira, Adishut Nisrad - With virtually no leverage at hand, continuous financial turmoils domestically and across the Neset and very merciful, generous and reasonable terms demanded by Xsampa last month, there was no wiggle room for any objections during last weekend's negotiation session between all 7 of the city states of Amudim in Tel Bira.

However, a small hiccup almost turned the whole thing on its head on Monday morning, when the Secretary of the Yishelem Nisrad resigned in protest, considering how the remaining city states demanded that Yishelem be the one to lead the public apology ritual in Metz-Leonid. The issue was quickly resolved after the Deputy Secretary signed the internal agreement by Monday afternoon.

Thus, all city states will send a representative to Metz-Leonid, as part of Xsampa's terms of surrender including a public apology.

Insofar as the non-aggression pact is concerned, of the harshest terms demanded are the forced neutrality and non-intervention policy in the entirety of Dovani, as well as extensive monitoring clauses to be enforced by Xsampa, regarding military activity in the Red Bass Ocean.

With the latter essentially costing Amudim its final drops of supremacy in the region; the reason Beiteynu had fought the war in the first place.

Although the non-aggression pact was pretty much straightforward, the topic of reparations, however, met quite a few roadblocks.

In the absence of a central government after the dissolution of the Homeland State of Beiteynu, fiscal policy was left to individual city states. Ordinarily, that would not have posed a problem save but the extensive optics damage done by Yishelem during the war with Xsampa. Sholemberg's, Himmelshtern's and Hofesh's continuously declining state of industrial shipping has increased their trade and commercial deficits in the face of a Neset that has either redirected its volumes to other countries or has lost leverage with other countries itself.

Despite rate cuts and injections of liquidity by the Saham and Central Bank of Amudim in Tel Bira, former Beiteynu's extreme reliance on foreign money has left city states exposed to the massive cracks of debt accumulation, making access to cash extremely difficult.

Tel Bira has offered a few alternatives for Metz-Leonid: reparations in arrears, to be paid over the course of the next 62 years, selling of multiple Amudimim assets and unprecedented access to Amudimim industrial, industrial shipping and energy infrastructure; with the latter, Tel Bira is essentially offering Xsampa a gateway in the Holy Land to export its products and services to the West.
