The Kingdom of Greece, Georgiou, Tito and Pavlos Meet in Athens, Independence of Northern Epirus by Greece Guaranteed!, April 1954
Το Βασίλειο της Ελλάδος, Γεωργίου, Τίτο και Παύλος συναντώνται στην Αθήνα, Ανεξαρτησία της Βορείου Ηπείρου από την Ελλάδα εγγυημένη!, Απρίλιος 1954

Adriatican Islands, Northern-epirus and Ranponian - Greek, Northern Epirote and Yugoslavian Leaders! - Έλληνες, Βορειοηπειρώτες και Γιουγκοσλάβοι ηγέτες!

| A NEW FRIEND!, GREECE, SOUTHERN BALKANS: | ΜΙΑ ΝΕΑ ΦΙΛΗ!, ΕΛΛΆΔΑ, ΝΌΤΙΑ ΒΑΛΚΆΝΙΑ: |

| At the Royal Palace in Athens in the Kingdom of Greece, a bustling crowd of civilians wait outside, joined by high-ranking Greek government officials and diplomats. They wait for three important people in particular, and as those three people were then driven to the Palace, it was clear who they were. Arriving at noon sharp, the leaders of three Balkan nations. Of course, in attendance was Greece's beloved King Pavlos, but he was also joined by the leader of the newly independent Republic of Northern Epirus, President Georgiou, and finally, a person with a very strong disdain in Greece, the Yugoslavian premier, Josip Broz Tito. As the trio went in, they were followed behind by Greek diplomats and their respective security details. The leaders and the Greek diplomats were given lunch at the palace, a grand feast before talks started. |

| Surprisingly, the three leaders got along well, and joined by Greek Prime Minister Alexandros Papagos, were able to establish personal connections. As they were led into the diplomatic room, there lay several documents prepared by the Greek and Northern Epirote Governments. These documents were the papers that ensured the Kingdom of Greece's independence guarantees to the newly established and recognized the Republic of Northern Epirus. As the four of them sat down (joined by Papagos), President Georgiou, the King, and Prime Minister Papagos signed the document regarding the independence guarantee. Tito would sign the document as well as an official witness, and to symbolize Yugoslavian permission for this deal. The four would stand up and would receive applause from the diplomats. This was the first time in a long time that Greece and Yugoslavia had some form of cooperation, and it also meant that Greece had made a new friend up north. As they walked out, they were greeted by a crowd of press officials and photographers, and as the conference ended, it was clear that it was a resounding success. |

"The signing of Greece's Independence Guarantees to Northern Epirus as pledged during the Argyrókastron Accords marks a symbolic day. Greece has not only opened and successfully opened diplomatic relations with a new nation but also is now guaranteeing their protection. It also marks the first time in almost 15 years that Greece and Yugoslavia have had cooperation with one another. We look forward to having a new start with the Republic [Northern Epirus], and to begin to end diplomatic hostilities between Athens and Belgrade."

- King of the Hellenes, Pavlos I

KRKA OPENS FIRST PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORY IN ANOTHER STEP FOR THE SLOVENE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

^{THE GAME OF ELECTRONS
APRIL 1954}

In early 1949, prominent Novo Mesto pharmacist Boris Andrijanič entered talks with the Slovenian Chemical Industry Association on the matter of his profession. The Slovenian state had an enduring interest in the nation’s growing chemical industry: a perceived ingress into the common European market fast approaching. Thus, in February 1954, Andrijanič’s centuries-old pharmacy was officially incorporated as Krka with the opening of its own pharmaceutical laboratory under medicinal biochemist Tatjana Sernec Avšič. Housed in a warehouse of the suburb of Ločna, the laboratory was an intentional contribution to the greater Slovenian chemical industrial belt, a growing entity producing an array of products ranging from detergent to painkillers. The belt was Slovenia’s most distinctive industry—it was developing a sophisticated chemical export complex with surprising speed. Thus, Krka was not the only Slovenian company dedicated to the production of synthetic active medicaments. The Slovene government had no doubt about the importance of competition, and had spawned several pharmaceutical manufacturers in the aftermath of independence. Lek, based in Ljubljana, was the eldest and would almost certainly be Krka’s chief competitor: both were viewed with optimism by investors, but unseating Lek—eight years Krka’s senior—would prove an arduous task.

Nevertheless, Krka’s laboratory, intended to bypass some of the slower traditional stages required to develop and perfect active agents, had the potential to altogether improve the production of synthetic and non-synthetic drugs. Staking the firm’s reputation on the continued success of its laboratory, Krka focused primarily on the production of two of its leading products: hyoscyamine and ferrous sulfate. The first was intended to treat conditions of intestinal spasms, cramps and irritable bowel syndromes while the latter, a mineral supplement primarily intended to treat anemia, could also be used as a deodorant or a mouthwash. Within three years, it hoped to be able to manufacture no fewer than four dozen further synthetic drugs at a volume that could meet the needs of all pharmacies throughout Lower Carniola. It would, however, not come without challenges. With the nation’s chemical industry only recently modernized, the laboratory would be subject to frequent shortages of raw materials and the associated efficiency bottlenecks. Undeterred, the company would strive to expand its activities and services, and would ultimately come to integrate other processing units into its activities, from compounding to packaging. Supply lines would emerge from shrewd negotiations with other Slovene companies; the ferrous sulfate, for example, would be distilled from cheaply purchased iron(II) sulfate byproducts of steel finishing shipped from the Trošt steel works in the metallurgical town of Jesenice.

Products of the Ločna laboratory would be on Slovenian shelves by the coming summer and on international shipments the following season. Another step had been taken in advance of the common market to come.

THE ERITREAN QUESTION

KING OF THE HILL

_{| If there was one thing Ibn Saud purposefully neglected, it was Eritrea. The Eritrean rebellion had been raging on for years now, led by the Eritrean Sovereign Army (ESA) and Ibn Saud had not even made a point to mention it, despite Faisal's many attempts at bringing it up. Now under the impulsive but assertive Saud, he felt the urge to make a definitive stance. Another thing that changed since the Ibn Saud days was the recent immigrant influx, from South Asia and Eritrea, as well as some internal Yemeni migration to the wealthy Eastern provinces, or to work in government in Riyadh. However, with this mass immigration came mass problems... A large part of these Eritreans was considered refugees as well, and also Muslim due to Saudi preferences, further forcing Saud's hand. Internal Eritrean pressure combined with Saud's urge to prove himself to the already disapproving royal family led to a call for action.|}

_{|The main difference came with the visits from Eritrean representatives from the ESA, namely Idris Mohammed Adem, and his Eritrean veteran aide, Sheikh Ibrahim Sultan, who met with King Saud and Crown Prince Faisal. There they discussed the Eritrean community's welfare in Saudi Arabia, as well as how the current war efforts were going, and finally sent a plea for Saud to signal to the Arab League a change in neutrality towards the Eritrean question. Afterward, he made visits throughout Eritrean community concentrations in Saudi Arabia, and successfully mobilized both men and funds for the cause. 2 million dollars USD, or 45 million Saudi riyals from wealthy Eritrean elites in Eastern Saudi Arabia. 5,000 Eritrean diaspora would also travel to Sudan to go down to support the Eritrean cause, carrying the funds and arms, namely 100 Marmon-Herrington Mk. IV, armed with Fahud M-50 Sub-machine gun and Kulsprutepistol m/45, as well as 10 M101 Howitzers.|}

Up t'wards mountains higher,

Stanford | '54 Nasser Invitational

by The United States of Paramountica

⌂ Pax Americana








	His Excellency, President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the Egyptian Republic
	We at Leland Stanford Junior University are delighted, upon being notified of your impending May 1954 visit to the United States of America by the White House, to extend an invitation to speak at our university on the scheduled tour of California with Richard M. Nixon, Vice President of the United States during the west coast itinerary of your government's American visit. As President of Stanford University, I can attest on behalf of Stanford's board of governors our enthusiasm at any consideration of the Vice President/your traveling party visiting Stanford during said California visit. As we understand it, President Eisenhower will not partake in the west coast visit, and that leg would be directed by the Vice President. This invitational to you is being spearheaded by our very own Hoover Institute; The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace — of which Mr. C. Easton Rothwell is director of. I myself served on at Hoover's research staff from '32 to '38 during my doctoral studies here at Stanford We believe it would be of great importance to our students and faculty and we are eager to explore the possibilities of expanding Egyptian-American foreign affairs to new heights of diplomacy with your government by such a display here at Stanford, as a representation of Egyptian-American cooperation. Our students/faculty would benefit greatly from hearing your views on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the world today in the field of Middle Eastern policy. Should an invitation be accepted by your government, the University is prepared to extend a stay-visit at our Stanford, California campus or organize hotel accommodations in Palo Alto, California, however, previous American presidential and foreign dignitaries visits have successfully occurred with on-campus accommodations including a '53 visit from President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon, '50 visit from President Harry S truman, '46 visit from President Henry A. Wallace and '44, '40, '37 visits from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and '28, '31 visits from President Herbert C. Hoover; whom is a Stanfordian alumnus and resides in Stanford, California currently. Your knowledge and expertise on foreign affairs and international relations would serve to inspire and inform Stanford and the American collegiate sphere at-large in a way that no previous Egyptian leader has done. We have no doubt that your presence would be invaluable to our Stanfordian community. Furthermore, we are confident that your visit would be a tremendous success, and that it would help to bring our two countries closer together. Appreciatively, John Ewart Wallace Sterling President of Stanford University. Die Luft der Freiheit weht CALIFORNIA STANFORD

"Only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice."

Well, game, that's only because it lost the first time.

[I am not keen on doing the whole Discord thing tbh, will join the server, but will be barely active. PS: I just couldn't resist to troll the game a bit.]

I hope that that's acceptable

April 1954
_{The Northern Epirus Defence Force (NEDF)}

ASIMENIO FTERO BASE, ARGYRÓKASTRON, (Northern-epirus) — EVENING

| The development of the North Epirus Defence Force (NEDF) is a top priority for the young nation, as it seeks to establish its independence and secure its borders. With tensions running high in the region, the NEDF is tasked with ensuring the safety and security of the people of North Epirus. Moreover, the government of North Epirus have poured their limited resources into the NEDF, arranging for the building of new training facilities and equipping the military with weaponry. A select few experienced Yugoslav military officers from North Epirus have been recruited to help lead the NEDF, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the young organization. |

| Recruitment for the NEDF is robust, with thousands of young men and women answering the call to serve their nation. Northern Epirote soldiers will undergo rigorous training, honing their skills and learning the discipline and tactics that would be essential in defending their country. Despite the small estimated population of around 200,000 Northern Epirotes, Interim President Georgiou wishes to elevate the NEDF to roughly 1000 highly capable full-time soldiers who are able to quickly respond to natural disasters, humanitarian needs and ultimately the defence of the state. |

| The NEDF has received a significant boost to its capabilities in the form of obsolete Yugoslav rifles. This gift from Yugoslavia is a testament to the cooperative relationship between the two nations and their shared commitment to regional stability. The rifles, although outdated, are still highly effective weapons that will play a crucial role in the NEDF's efforts to defend North Epirus. Through the acquisition of Yugoslav rifles, the young nation has reassured its citizens that the government is capable of ensuring national security. This, coupled with the guarantees of independence from both Yugoslavia and Greece, have effectively secured Northern Epirus status as a neutral buffer state. |

| Aesthetically, the NEDF uniform is both practical and visually striking. It consists of a smart olive green tunic, paired with black trousers and highly polished black leather boots. The tunic is adorned with a number of distinctive patches and badges, each representing a different unit or branch within the NEDF. The NEDF's headgear is also a source of pride, with soldiers sporting a stylish black peaked cap or a distinctive beret in the unit's colors. Furthermore, the NEDF badge is prominently displayed on each piece of headgear, proudly declaring the wearer's allegiance to their country and their commitment to defend it. |

| The Eidikés Dynámeis Voreioipeirotikón Enóplon Dynámeon (EDVED — Northern Epirote Special Forces) are to be a highly trained and elite unit within the NEDF, tasked with carrying out the most demanding and critical missions. These include counter-terrorism domestically, and in certain circumstances taking part in overseas operations where the situation arises. The EDVED will be known for their superior training, unwavering bravery, and exceptional combat skills. The unit is to be comprised of roughly 50 hand-selected soldiers who undergo rigorous training and testing in order to meet the demanding requirements of the EDVED. This training will be designed to develop the soldiers' physical and mental capabilities, as well as their ability to operate effectively in challenging environments. |
