SR RP | Black Gold No More - P4 | The Crisis Unfolds

“Okay… do we all have this ready?” Jazaar asked nervously.

“We do, Mister President.”

“Good, good…”

“Going live in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1.”

The cameras focused on Jazaar.

“Greetings and kind welcome to all Sumori and all international observers who may see this address.” Jazaar began.

Jazaar's face grimaced as the weight of the message he was about to deliver truly set in.

“For years now, we have told the Fusean continent, and by extension the entire world, that Sumoriant had hundreds of years worth of natural gas and oil buried underneath its lands. I am here today to tell you this was entirely wrong. In just the past few weeks, two of our largest oil fields in the west dried up, and soon after that, just a few days ago, actually, the entire western portion of Sumoriant with oil fields completely ran dry. We anticipate this trend to continue eastwards until Sumoriant is devoid of all oil reserves, and we are rapidly moving to combat the incoming crisis that will more than certainly result from this.

God be with you all, Fuseans, and to the world.” Jazaar concluded.

The cameras flicked off.

“Now we wait for the Fusean response.” Jazaar said.

And thus began…

THE SUMORI OIL CRISIS

A statement from the Slevennic Council on behalf of the memberstates of the Slevennic Political Union

The troubling news revealed by the Sumori government is heard across the Fusean continent. This reduction of access to such a critical strategic resource jeopardises the future of our continent. The united leadership of the members of the Slevennic Political Union have agreed to increase oil extraction within Lake Fusea in order to quell some of the ramifications caused by the Sumori announcement. The Slevennic Council wishes to offer its solidarity with the United Republic of Sumoriant in these dark times and wishes to begin immediate dialogue with the Sumori government in order to allow for the ease access to accurate information between our states.

Let it be known that the Slevennic Political Union stands united more than ever and any temporary strain this crisis puts on the members states of the union will not hinder our ability to defend and protect our strategic interests. Lake Fusea is now perhaps one of the most important regions of the Fusean continent and we will ensure that our access to strategic resources is guaranteed. Our continent is in trying times with war, famine and destabilising leadership in the South East. All actions necessary to restore confidence in this continent will be undertaken if seen appropriate.

Stefan Borolov,
President of the Council
Slevennic Political Union
