The Western Isles Regional Message Board

Balnik wrote:However, while the goods may move with ease that doesn't not necessarily apply to its people.

And I imagine this would be a major issue to the other members, considering as the free movement of people is an important part in ensuring economic efficiency. Unless there is like an op-out system for this.

Another aspect I would also ask is how would the free exchange of capital affect Balnik?

Balnik wrote:Balnik would've probably joined in the 80s. Despite what headcanons some people may have Balnik is not comically evil, goods still move throughout Gael despite political standings, even D&S our "nemisis" still imports a large amount of Balniki goods. With the advent of things like the Ferry Initiative and its participation in Eternaji, they are certainly no strangers to trade initiatives. However, while the goods may move with ease that doesn't not necessarily apply to its people.

Aye; as what Reann has kindly pointed - GTU main principles is for the free flow of ideas, capital and people, not just goods. Would Balnik want to opt out of the majority of its founding principles? In which case, it may be a viable alternative to have a deal with the GTU, rather than being a member.

Yes, something like a free trade agreement between the GTU and Balnik could be the more preferable option. Opting out from pretty much all the main aspects except one would be rather odd and a separate agreement would in my opinion make it easier.

I believe a similar ordeal could be made with Lesva as well.

I am interested in discussing this.

Maybe not then.

We're a month away from zombies again eh

I should start preemptively gathering brains and putting them in the freezer before they get really expensive here in a couple weeks

Balnik wrote:Maybe not then.

Depending on how much freedoms for individual trade deals the GTU gives, Reann would still be very keen on having a trade treaty with Balnik.

I feel very confused on the current state of TWI, may need to read up on some news after I get caught up on school. What's an Eternaji and should I be scared?

A reminder that the TWI Elite League Ice Hockey is looking to restart this October weekend, would love to see newcomers and veterans of the last league.

Project Eternaji

In July 31st 2023, Najimamian Prime Minister Youssef Labib unveiled an ambitious project titled Project Eternaji with the ultimate goal of dominating the Eterna sea diplomatically and economically by 2050.

Project Eternaji focuses on multiple mega projects in logistics, defense, heavy machinery and other industries in partnership with multiple international businesses and governmental organizations as well as growing the influence of the Elysian Covenant, an intergovernmental organization led by Najimam, Nisryn and Arvento in the western isles.

The Najimamian government hopes that Project Eternaji will enable them to claim back Ghouraban (The Two Crows) which is widely known in the western isles as Townside. In 1786, Caliph Benzayt Al-Mouhab (Benzayt The Dreaded) leased Ghouraban to the British Western Isles Company which was represented by Sir Francis Light through a treaty. The latter retracted back from the initial agreement in 1791 and claimed that the Land of Townside is a British nation with its own sovereignty. All attempts to take Ghouraban back by the succeeding Caliphs failed.

After the founding of the Theocracy of Najimam in 1894 and the independence of Townside from the British in the 1900s, Highest Imam Naji The First demanded the reinclusion of Townside in Najimamian territory however Townside refused all approaches from the Najimamian side. The dispute remains ongoing and Najimam is determined to take back Ghouraban through Project Eternaji.

Eternaji Network

Eternaji Network is the logistics ecosystem of Najimam, it is responsible for efficiently and effectively moving goods and materials within Najimam, as well as importing and exporting products to and from other nations. Its main goal is to make Najimam a logistics hub in the western isles and it includes a number of different components, such as:
  • Transportation infrastructure: Roads, highways, bridges, airports, and other infrastructure needed to move goods and people around the western isles.

  • Warehousing and distribution centers: These facilities are used to store and distribute goods within the western isles, and include both public and private sector facilities. Warehousing and distribution centers are responsible for receiving, storing, and distributing goods to retailers, wholesalers, and other customers.

  • Shipping ports: Shipping ports are responsible for importing and exporting goods by sea, and are a key part of Eternaji Network. Shipping ports typically include a variety of different facilities and infrastructure, such as docks, cranes, and warehouses.

  • Postal and courier services: These services are responsible for delivering packages and mail internationally, and include both government-run and private sector companies. Postal and courier services use a variety of transportation modes, such as trucks, planes, and trains, to deliver packages to their destinations.

  • Supply chain management: Companies and organizations in Najimam use supply chain management software and systems to plan, coordinate, and optimize the movement of goods and materials through Eternaji Network. This includes systems for managing inventory, tracking shipments, and forecasting demand.

  • Regulatory agencies: They are responsible for overseeing and regulating various aspects of the logistics ecosystem, such as safety, customs, and trade.

Eternaji Network is operated by a consortium of public and private sector partners:
