Would you be looking to get into the regions RP? or are you new to Nationstates in general?

Gaillimh ciarrai wrote:Well, basically electronics. A budget version of a smartphone. And with my Country having weird laws and no infrastructure for electronic products the inventors need to outsource.

If you want a single large manufacturer, try Omega Electronics, since they specialize in low-cost gear. Since Ioudaia's electronics industry is large, there are small design shops I haven't listed that would contract everything out, sourcing parts and arranging for manfacturing from other companies.

Integrated Circuit Fabrication Capabilities

Avazi

Avazi designs and manufactures consumer electronics, as well as many of its own components. Avazi also has a small entertainment division. In the consumer electronics area, Avazi makes a broad range of medium- to high-performance devices, including computer game consoles, laptop computers, smart phones, still and video cameras, and OLED TVs and displays. Avazi's top of the line camera and display monitors are used for professional streaming and movie-making.

The company is known as a leader in visible light image sensors, producing many of sensors used by other companies as well as itself. It produces other components as well, especially GPUs, memory modules, batteries, and wireless transceivers and modems for 4G and 5G cellular communications and WiFi.

Avazi's entertainment division, Avazi Studio, specializes in computer games, mainly for its own consoles, but sometimes for other platforms as well. As a result of developing the expertise in the sophisticated graphics many current games require, the company has started to produce feature-length animated movies as well.

Avazi Avionics manufactures aircraft instruments and displays. Their products include glass panel displays, navigation equipment, radios, engine instruments, and transponders. Most of their output is for the civilian market, but they do some military work as well.

Avazi's administrative offices are in Shariyath, and it has fabs and factories there and in Eiresion. Avazi Studio is in Ornemion.

Omega Electronics

Omega Electronics sells and makes last-generation and low-end consumer, commercial, and industrial electronics. Their product range is huge, everything from feature phones to microwave ovens to factory control systems. Many of these products are simply sold from stockpiles bought when they were discontinued, but Omega also manufactures some of its own low-end goods as well. The company also sells outdated software as well, at least in cases where older versions are available.

Hadar Cheiron ben Medon founded Omega Electronics on two simple premises. First, not everybody wants or needs the most advanced gadget on the market. Some people can't afford them, and others are just cheap, hence Omega's slogan, "The last word in low prices!". Second, many people are happier with older gadgets or the software that runs on them because the older stuff has features that replacements don't have.

Omega Electronics operates three subsidiaries, Omega Data Recovery, Omega Industrial, and Omega Foundries to support the use and manufacture of trailing edge or outdated electronics as well.

Omega Data Recovery specializes in recovering data from obsolete media, especially obsolete removable media. Many companies and individuals know the importance of backing data up routinely, but they sometimes discover that their only back-up copy of older, but still important, information is years old, and they lack the ability to read the media containing the back-up. Omega keeps old back-up systems running, so they usually can read "orphaned" media. They're also familiar with older disk architectures, and can often recover information from them.

Omega Industrial provides equipment, support, and services to technical and industrial companies with obsolete electronic equipment. Like its parent company, Omega Industrial buys up equipment as it goes out of production, but unlike its parent, it does not sell cheaply, as companies unable to switch away from old gear will pay well for parts and repairs. On the other hand, Omega Industrial does offer services to help those companies migrate to newer equipment.

Omega Foundries makes integrated circuits using obsolete or outdated processes. They also emulate their parent company and make obsolete chips themselves. Hadar was offered the contents of an out-of-date fab when it was being upgraded to the state of the art, and he acquired the equipment, realizing that some of his own low-end products were dependent on chips that would go out of production soon. He was surprised to to discover that other companies also had use for older or low performance integrated circuits made cheaply. Omega Foundries thus produces parts with relatively large feature sizes, but does so very inexpensively.

Omega Electronics and its Foundries are based in Zeteomos, where land and labor are cheap. Omega's other subsidiaries are based in Chyrtiros, close that city's customers.

Zephyr

Zephyr is Ioudaia's largest electronics company. Zephyr Lamp Company started in 1921 as a light bulb manufacturer before branching out to vacuum tubes and then entire radios. They adopted new technologies as they were developed, making some of Ioudaia's first transistor radios, and making early use of integrated circuits in consumer electronics.

As Zephyr made heavier and heavier use of integrated circuits, they began to make their own. By 1982, they were one of Ioudaia's largest IC manufacturers, producing chips for themselves and other companies. And as electronics became more capable, they entered new product areas to make use of the components they could make.

Zephyr has remained true to their roots, and continues to make lighting products. LEDs can be used in more places and in more ways that traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps: Zephyr makes not only LED light bulbs, but also LED signs ranging from small retail signs to immense LED screens for stadium use, LED displays (and some LCD ones as well), and now sophisticated LED walls, which are beginning to replace green screens for movie and TV backgrounds.

They also have an active consumer electronics division, specializing in appliances: microwave ovens, induction ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, and other "white goods". They have a reputation for reliability, and at the high end of their product line, they are known for sophisticated, elegant, and easy-to-use products. Their highest-end line of kitchen appliances have stainless steel cases, made and marketed as a joint venture with T. L. Madozhad Industries.

Zephyr is also Ioudaia's leading maker of smartphones, though they don't compete at the high end of the market, preferring to use economies of scale and internal parts production to serve mid-range and value-conscious customers.

The company also makes a wide variety of integrated circuits, including ASICs, 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers, and low-end FPGAs, for their own use and to sell to other OEMs.

Zephyr's subsidiary, Iapys Defense Systems, designs and manufactures military electronics, including avionics, sensors, precision guidance systems. Iapys is partially owned by Zephyr, with Zephyr being the largest shareholdered, with one-third of the company's stock, and controlling a third of its board. The remainder of the shares are in private hands.

Zephyr's administrative and research campus is located in Ornemion, adjacent to a subway station. The company has factories in Ornemion, Eireson, Chyrtiros, and Shariyath.

Koria Precision Instruments (KPI)

Koria Precision Instruments began as a manufacturer of scientific instruments, but now produces speciality semiconductors as well. It's a leader in precision instruments, and makes among the most accurate clocks, multimeters, and oscilloscopes in the Western Isles; it also produces electron microscopes.

KPI's specialty semiconductors find their way into many products. They include real-time clocks, analog ICs, power electronics – battery controllers and power regulators – and accelerometers. In addition, KPI makes a large fraction of Ioudaia's discrete components, especially tantalum capacitors. Because of the unusual nature of many of KPI's integrated circuits, it has its own fabs.

Their line of low-cost, 8-bit microcontrollers is popular with appliance makers who need "smarter" equipment to meet consumer demand, as well as automakers and others with a small need for general-purpose embedded processing power. The new very low power variants are making inroads into battery-powered "internet of things" devices as well.

KPI's facilities are located in Cypharisseis and Thyron.

Radio Corporation of Shariyath

Radio Corporation of Shariyath produces a wide variety of systems for transmitting, receiving, and interpreting radio signals. They produce radio receivers and transceivers for civilian, civil government, and military use; civil and military radars; RF front ends for embedded radios; broadband wireless transceivers and modems; traveling wave tubes for high-power radio transmissions in broadcast radio, radar systems, and military transmitters; and support equipment for commercial radio broadcasting from low-power FM systems to 100kW AM and shortwave systems for region-wide broadcasting.

In addition, they produce a number of specialized military products, including electronic warfare (EW) systems, signals and electronics intelligence (SIGINT/ELINT) gathering equipment, and related radio equipment. These products led to RCS developing a line of rugged user interface equipment, including displays, keyboards, trackballs, and joysticks.

RCS produces some related lines of equipment as well. They're Ioudaia's only manufacturer of discrete transistors, from tiny surface mount devices to huge MOSFETs meant for radio broadcasting. They also produce superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), extremely sensitive magnetometers, useful for detecting tiny electromagnetic fields for scientific, civil, and military uses, along with superconducting wire.

Radio Corporation of Shariyath was one of the first companies spun off from the Electromagnetism Laboratory. It was formed in 1948, as the Imperial War was winding down, and EML got out of the business of directly manufacturing and supervising the production of electronics equipment.

Shariyath Ekfantoros

Shariyath Ekfantoros manufactures x-ray and IR image sensors, ultrasound transducers and decoders, and X-ray, IR, and ultrasound instruments and services for medical and technical use, including digital X-ray machines, CAT scanners, and medical ultrasound imaging and therapy equipment. They do some military business as well.

The company has most of its facilities in Shariyath, and it has a research and development campus located adjacent to Tagaris Medical School in Ornemion, in order to work with the School's clinicians to develop the instruments they need for next-generation treatments.

Thermorasi

Thermorasi is Ioudaia's leading producer of IR image sensors and support equipment (optics and electronics) as well as IR instruments, systems, and services for consumer, industrial, scientific, and military use. Their products include everything from sensitive infrared spectrometers for laboratory use to rugged thermal imagers for armored vehicles, as well as consumer-grade thermal cameras and non-contact thermometers. They've also made most of the infrared telescopes and spectrometers used by the Space Exploration Agency's satellites.

Thermorasi is located in Shariyath.

AMK

AMK manufactures batteries, everything from tiny zinc-air cells for hearing aids to massive arrays of vanadium flow cells for bulk electrical power storage. They produce every chemistry and every size of battery, gaining customers in every industry and every country.

They're one of the Western Isles' leaders in electrochemical research, both in-house and sponsored in Ioudaia's universities. They also buy or license battery technology developed elsewhere.

AMK is located in Chyrtiros.

Chyrtiros Dynamics

Chyrtiros Dynamics supplies electric motors and dynamos, including rare earth magnet motors for vehicles, computer disk drives, and specialty applications.

Chyrtiros Dynamics has most of its facilities in its namesake city, but also has factories and research facilities in Shariyath.

Harauvatisnezhad and Triopas Kefir (H&TK)

H&TK is one of the Western Isles' highest-performance GPU manufacturers. They also produce graphics cards and graphics systems for desktop and laptop computers, respectively. H&TK is located in Shariyath.

Mount Alethusos Foundry Services

Mount Alethusos Foundry Services is a contract foundry company, offering IC fabrication to companies throughout Ioudaia and the Western Isles. Their main fab complex is in Eiresion, and they also have fabs in Shariyath.

Nanoscribe

Nanoscribe manufactures photolithography equipment for IC fabrication. They're one of the Western Isles' few companies in this specialized business. They're located in Shariyath.

STKL Neosemi

STKL produces programmable hardware, specifically field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), which are superior to general-purpose CPUs and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for many purposes.

STKL is one of the the government's great success stories that emerged from the 1979 industrial policy. Omid Sanehtajni, Tamir Dardanus, Koroush Noam, and Leodes ben Galal founded their company explicitly to become a leader in programmable electronics.

Their original goal was the develop a new microprocessor architecture to compete with those available on the international market. This proved to be much harder than expected, as Ioudaia's electronics manufacturing industry was not up to producing suitable photolithography equipment, and in any event, many potential customer companies were locked into existing architectures. But along the way, Koroush began to work on configurable hardware to make the company's proposed microprocessors more flexible than foreign designs. Once the company abandoned their original microprocessor goal, FPGAs became their focus.

STKL quickly found customers for their FPGAs in Ioudaia, ranging from consumer electronics makers, through industrial and scientific equipment manufacturers, to military suppliers. The Ioudaian Air Armada and Navy were both very happy with a domestic supplier for their unusual needs, even if they sometimes preferred microprocessors for some military applications.

Today, STKL makes some of the region's most sophisticated programmable devices, including extremely high density FPGAs, mixed-signal FPGAs (analog and digital circuits on the same chip), and PSoCs, which ironically use the standard ARM Cortex M0, M1, and M2 architectures under license, ARM being one of the foreign microprocessors STKL hoped to replace. Some of their devices also include GPUs, USB controllers, ethernet controllers, and other dedicated special-purpose hardware.

STKL sells development systems, design tools, and reference designs for their FPGAs and CPLDs, and provides consulting services for them as well.

STKL's corporate offices and fabs are located in Eireson.

Parsozhad Hydro

Parsozhad Hydro provides one-stop shopping for hydroelectric power. They not only produce hydroelectric turbines and turbo-dynamos, they also design and build hydroelectric power plants. For small plants, they offer a series of standard designs differing only in dam construction for the site, providing turn-key design and construction. For large hydroelectric facilities, Parsozhad acts as an engineering firm and general contractor, farming out work as needed to specialist companies.

Parsozhad Hydro is based in Chyrtiros.

United Electric Products

United Electric Products produces equipment for electrical power generation and distribution. They're Ioudaia's largest producer of step-up and step-down transformers, as well as electrical meters, voltage regulators, high-voltage switching systems, and other gear. They also provide design services for electrical production, transmission, and distribution systems, up to entire power grids.

Like most of Ioudaia's heavy industry, they're in Chyrtiros.

The "coalition" of Nepali Congress, Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and Communist Part of Nepal (Unified Socialist) is in electoral alliance in my city (and most of Nepal). This is how a "coalition" voter should vote in my area. A Nepali Congress cadre at my college gave me this mock electoral paper.

People have trouble voting for the same party 7 times straight right to left. I am SURE this coalition voting alliance would not create ANY confusion at all.

Not in Luxembourg, as far as I know. So it's possible that voting occurs here at gun point (especially since voting is mandatory), but as I am not a Luxembourger (yet) I don't participate in the elections (except the European ones) so I haven't had a lot of experience with that :)

If voting happens at gun point here, the question is whether that is because voting is mandatory or because certain people want you to vote for a certain party. In the latter case, especially the Pirate Party comes to mind...

I would like to say that that could never happen in America, but we have been reduced to mob violence when things don’t go the way we want. The burning of cities, take over of the capital building and now a fence around the Supreme Court. Last presidential election stores were told to lock up guns and ammunition and no sales allowed till the election was over.

Im new to nation states what do I do in this game.

Pilipas wrote:Im new to nation states what do I do in this game.

It differs a little bit from region to region. This region is The Western Isles; we mostly ignore Nation States statistics (most notably the population numbers, which are very unrealistic). Instead, we work with our own map (see below; if you like this region, you can contact Ainslie to claim a spot). To get on the map, you should have some basic information about your country, and as soon as you have been accepted to your desired location, you can define your nation as you like, glancing to your neighbouring nation every now and then (for e.g. overlapping history, perhaps a shared religion or language). There are a number of collaborative role-play themes (such as the Imperial War thread; which is basically our 'WW2'). My colleague the Secretary of Role-Play Roendavar (and others) may be able to help you with that.

Be also sure to read our welcome dispatch:

THE WESTERN ISLES MAP DISPATCH






Rules

Read all of these and make sure you understand them before you send the required map application to Ainslie via telegram.


  1. The nation which you join the map with should be a member of the World Assembly.

  2. You must have a name that is realistic. If you were to put it in a list of nations on Earth, it should not seem out of place or strange compared to them. However, this does not mean that you are allowed to have the same name as a real life country on Earth or something extremely similar.

  3. You are only allowed one nation on the map. No puppets are allowed.

  4. You must have at least one factbook about your nation that proves that you are going to actively engage and develop your nation in-character

  5. You must post anywhere on the LinkNationStates forums. This means anywhere across the site that you are allowed to post on. Do not post on threads marked (IC) or [IC] or places where you otherwise would not be welcome.

  6. If you lodge a map application and do not log in for a while afterwards, you may not be added to the map.

  7. If you are on the map, you must either significantly edit a dispatch or factbook or post in an [IC]/(IC) or [OOC]/(OOC) forum that exclusively involves nations on the map pictured above. If you do not do this at least once every fourteen days, you may be removed from the map and will need to resubmit a map request in order to be placed back on.

  8. Our region reserves the right to refuse map applications from players or puppets of players who is an officer or holds a position in the regional government of another region on this website. However, in some circumstances, discretion may be used in order to allow people who fall into this category to join the map.

  9. For more rules, please refer to this dispatch.

About TWI In-Character

The Western Isles, like many regions, exists in its own separate reality or plane of existence in order for members to reconcile their own histories with each other. We are Earth-based humans with Earth weapons and Earth culture, although we do not exist on the map of Earth itself. Although Earth's countries exist in our reality, we do not typically interact with them nor do they interact with us; we almost exclusively interact with only the nations in our region.

The Western Isles is very roughly 7000 miles long and 4000 miles wide (10 km by 10 km per pixel). We exist in a northern hemisphere, with the nations at the north typically experiencing colder climates and the nations at the south typically experiencing equatorial climates. If it helps, you can picture our map as being the area between Japan, the western American coast, the Aleutian islands, and Hawaii, although we do not actually exist in that realm. Nations are given free reign to decide their inner geography, so long as it does not bend too deep into unrealistic territory. Similarly, nations may decide their own resources or lack thereof, so long as it is kept reasonable and realistic. We are modern time, specifically current time, meaning that the real-life calendar day is the same as our role-play day.

The central island is named Argus; the large island to the northeast of Argus is called Gael. The island to the west of Argus is called Raedlon.

Bold Territories

What are they?
Bold territories are those little areas on the map circled or marked by black borders - their names are typically smaller and emboldened. They are portions of the map which are set aside with the sole purpose of being hubs for activity - not for the mere sake of having more land or getting something that you want. Rather, these are made normally to facilitate some sort of in character role-play. There are generally two types of bold territories - the larger, older and more traditional ones devoted to role-plays that are typically only overseen by one or two people. There is then the second category which is smaller and newer islands which are typically made with the view of having them change hands in character relatively quickly and are designed to be a proxy for wider tensions - whether this be diplomatic, economic or even in the sense of armed conflict.

In order to apply to get responsibility to out of character manage a bold territory not listed below, you should create a factbook and then post a link to it in this thread and talk about your intentions for the territory. If approved, you may then be considered as overseeing the territory.

Which ones exist, and what are they like?

  • Iersheno (Dispatch) | IC Disputed | OOC Managed by Kravato

    • Qualities: Militarised | Disputed | Tourist Mecca

    • Backstory: An area first settled by Vacrusians, it has become a contested territory both politically and ethnically. Conflict is a well established part of its history, though only recently a longstanding peace has been broken by increased hostility by both Vacrus and Kravato. Placed on an important trade route and strategically important location on the western side of South Argus, the island is a flashpoint that is only just starting to awaken yet again.

    • Ideal for: Conflict RP, Diplomatic RP

    • Important links: In The News

  • Romancia (Read Dispatch) | IC governed by independent government | OOC Managed by Baumes

    • Disputed | War-torn | Militarised

    • Backstory: Since their arrival to Baumes, the Romancians have constantly been bullied and harassed by the Baumish. Eventually, they founded the Kingdom of Romancia, but it won't be long until they were colonized by the Doraltics, and later the Baumish. But they've had enough. And after a long and bloody civil war, Romancia has finally succeeded in independence. Now war-torn and destroyed, Romancia must now rebuild itself and forge a new future.

    • Ideal for: Conflict RP, Diplomatic RP, Cultural RP

    • Important links: Baumish-Romancian Conflict OOC, In The News

  • Charbagnia (Read Dispatch) | IC Governed by an independent democratic government | OOC Managed by Dormill and Stiura

    • Qualities: Tax Haven | Tourist Mecca | Diplomatically Isolated | Multiethnic

    • Backstory: Caught between the imperial ambitions of nations both foreign and native to the Western Isles, Charbagnia is in some ways a multiethnic paradise and a tribute to tolerance and equality. However, decades of political mismanagement and international strife has constantly reopened the wounds of ethnic and sectarian conflict, preventing Charbagnia from fully healing and becoming a beacon for liberty and human rights in the Southern Sea. Now faced with a growing threat of terrorism armed with the weapons of a very recent war, a powder keg has been set under the Charbagnian nation, and it is up to the nations of the Southern Sea and beyond to band together and relieve the pressure, or else condemn them all to a new age of strife and death.

    • Ideal for: Political/Intrigue RP, Cultural RP, and News interactions

    • Important links: None applicable.

  • Faronna Islands (Dispatch not available) | IC occupied territory of Balnik | OOC Managed by Balnik

    • Qualities: Remote | Developing | Fascist | Sparsely inhabited

    • Backstory: The Faronna Islands were two Islands that were shared between Balnik and Roendavar under the 1983 Faronna Islands agreement that set the islands to be used as a nature reserve. The treaty expired and was not renewed. In 2019 surveys reported that the islands had an abundance of fossil fuels and was rich in resources. In 2020, faced with an imminent energy crisis, Balnik annexed the islands and began exploiting the islands and its resources

    • Ideal for: Diplomatic RP

    • Important links: ICJ Determination, In The News

  • Keverai (Read Dispatch) | IC Governed by an independent democratic government | OOC Managed by Ainslie

    • Qualities: Unequal | Unsettled | Capitalised Paradise | Crime Den

    • Backstory: Ever since its colonisation, Keverai has been an outward looking place - seeking to absorb the prosperity and the vibrancy that comes with a multicultural experience. This has exposed it to external problems such as war, social and income inequality, and large organised crime operations within the nation. Many of these conditions were made possible through the deregulation of the economy and the flow through effects it would have. Keverai’s first truly democratic government has had a lacklustre response to these which have very much fallen short of expectations. Now, the nation is completely exposed to the risk of disaster or further instability exacerbating the existing inequality and unrest.

  • Norregan (Read Dispatch) | IC Governed by an independent democratic government | OOC Managed by Roendavar

    • Qualities: Isolationist | Absolutist | Traditionalist | Conservative

    • Backstory: The Norregan people came to the Wake Islands and settled around the Stakerenea Islands as early as 1000 BCE. There have been several theories of how they got there, the most plausible one being that the Norregan people are a sea-faring people from Argus. The Norregan eventually settled into small tribal communities, relying on fishing for much of their food. Around the 1600s, trade finally came to the islands from nearby Raedlon. As the world descended into wars for control, the people of Norregan began to become wary of their survival, especially as they saw the Sud and Atolla fall to foreign influence. In 1729, a tribal chieftain known as Ilinakara’Toatou Falakira, also known to the Norregan people as the Uniter (Karana), united the Stakerenea Islands, through the Gray War. The Ilinakara family would soon rule Norregan from then on as absolute monarchs, pursuing a traditional and isolationist policy and remaining guarded against the outside world. However, after the storm of 2021 that left the Wake Islands devastated, current Queen Ilinakara'Falini Okilanoa, has decided to loosen the nation's economic policies and has allowed increased foreign investment, albeit, under her severe absolute watch.

  • Sud (Read Dispatch) | IC Governed by an independent democratic government | OOC Managed by Solaryia

    • Qualities: Backwater | Developing | Enterprising | Unequal

    • Backstory: A confident democracy with a charismatic but politically-minded leader, Sud has long considered itself as the success story of the three Wake Island chains. Whilst it suffered to an extent from a stormfront which battered Atolla and Norregan, the disaster exposed the existing inequalities in Sudite society. Sud is the most open of the three nations, relying on international backing to maintain its confidence as an important middlepower within the Raedlon subregion. However, the reality for the Sudites is that the social issues which haunt them remain very prevalent and the same politcking that occurs in Norregan and Atolla is just as rife here.

  • Atolla (Read Dispatch) | IC Governed by an independent democratic government | OOC Managed by Alteran republics

    • Qualities: Liberal Conservative | Meritocratic | Democratic | Fledgling Capitalist | Altera Dependent

    • Backstory: Since first being 'discovered' by the fledgling Alteran Republics in the 1460's, the island nation would soon become a keystone in the formation of the Alteran Commonwealth several centuries later. Battered by regular storms and harsh weather, the island inhabitants of Atolla grew to become a hardy and resilient people. Combined with imported traits and a thirst for mercantilism, the Atollan people would become an island of shopkeepers, establishing strong trade links with its neighbours in Raedlon. For whatever reason, whether thanks to subtle social or economic changes, Atolla never truly blossomed as an island nation and would remain strongly dependent on its Alteran colonial masters. However, thanks to continued investment and a brief flirt with independence; Atolla formally gained independence in 2016 after a slim referendum victory. Despite this, the nation stands at a crossroads - do they use their new independence to cut off colonial ties and seek their own glory - or acknowledge their allies and seek the safety and comfort of a like-minded friend?

  • Sunset Isle (Read Dispatch) | IC by uncontacted, hostile tribes | OOC Managed by Martenyika

    • Qualities: Wild | Tribal | Biodiverse | Resource-rich

    • Backstory: Originally a disputed territory, the Sunset Isle never attracted much attention due to its apparent lack of relevant natural resources and to the extreme hostility of its native tribe, the Akari. The situation quickly changed when a team of illegal researchers discovered massive deposits of highly valuable resources on the island in 2021. This led to a military standout between Laeden and Martenyika that nearly evolved into a full scale armed conflict. Thankfully, both nations agreed to discuss the matter in an arbitration court, who ruled that the Akari and their traditional island should be respected and that foreigners should not approach or land there under any circumstance.
