Jazaar was on a dimly lit platform in the center of a dark room. The walls appeared metallic in nature, but seemingly moving? He looked around, until his eyes landed on a chair faced away from him.
The chair turned toward him… and it was…
His father?
“Hello, Jazaar.” he said.
“Father?... How? Wha-” Jazaar trailed off, confused beyond belief. “Am I dreaming?”
“In a sense, yes. I am a manifestation of your memories.” Lakesh continued.
“What the hell…” Jazaar said. “What do you want from me?”
“You see Sumoriant around you, yes?” Lakesh said, casting his arm up, revealing Haijja. “This country is weak. We have stagnated! I implore you… heed my words: if you do not seize the reins of our nation, it will di-”
“No. I will not become a dictator. Do not pollute my mind and heart with your poison!” Jazaar exclaimed. “I will not repeat the atrocities of Sharaf el-Nazir!”
“You fail to realize something, then.” Lakesh said. “You are Sharaf el-Nazir, and you are Jazaar al-Hafez.”
“What the hell are you saying?!” Jazaar shouted.
“You hold the last monarchical claim to Sumoriant. As it would happen….you are a distant relative to the El-Nazir Family.” Lakesh said.
“Wha… that's not… how…”
“It is true, son. You can reject it all you want, but… our true family is more akin to something of the… Hafez-Nazir family.” Lakesh said.
“No… I… no…” Jazaf said.
“Accept your true power, Jazaar!” Lakesh exclaimed. “You are an El-Nazir!”
“No!” Jaraf shouted. “NO!”
“IT IS YOUR FUTURE! LEAD OUR NATION TO GREATNESS!” Lakesh shouted.
“NO! I WILL NOT STOOP TO THE LEVEL OF THE EL-NAZIR FAMILY!” Sharaf-Jazaar said.
Jazaar jolted from his sleep.
“Good lord… what the hell…” Jazaar said.
Jazaar walked to the kitchen and brewed a cup of coffee, trying to process all that had happened in his dream.
His decision on the dream would determine the future of Sumoriant…
SR
350 units were ready march, the joint build program had seen 
The Austro-Germanic Union components sneak in, in more then a few places. The more nationalistic elements of parliament were already grumbling at this but it was needed. What wasn’t on the report was how the British had been able to get that number of air frames out in just over 3 months. The lack of spares produced would not have a too significant affect on training and adoption for now. Yet if a war broke out today the kingdoms air fleet of Paladin class jet fighters would be grounded by the end of week 2. However this flaw was merely temporary, with the current rate of production really starting to ramp up it was expected the remaining 450 units would be done by the end of April, with by the end of may when the rate production would begin to plateau they would be able to have most if not all needed spares produced.
On the topics of tanks an 80 million OSD upgrade package had been approved for the whole fleet. With lessons learned from the Flettland and Second Yemetian Mysorean conflict the kingdom intended to improve a few abilities it had found “lacking”. Starting with optics, in the past 15 years advancements in optics allowed for small improvements yet with recent combat happening at longer ranges then planned the British tankers were starting to feel the age of their optics. May Company would win the contract for the new optics, these were nothing new by military complex standards, with them being already half a decade old but these had been well tested by Mercenary groups and found that despite the increase price tag were more then worth the cost. The next was less of a lesson learned but something that was feared. Jenovahian power armor and drones. Though both Yemet and the Kingdoms had used drones extensively in their conflicts the kingdoms had early on in the first war used an infantry carried system as their main anti drone system. The combat in Listovia had shown it to be quite effective yet the Northern Threat and 
Yemetian doctrine were different to say the least. Ignoring the AI, Jenovahians had shown an good amount of top down, centralized command with a big focus on Artillery. This differ greatly to the Yemetian more independent command style and mixed fire support doctrine. It was that massed artillery that worried the kingdom the most. This would force kingdoms to rely on it mobility to avoid drowning in a tide of high explosive death. Yet this had many disadvantages, from making logistics far more complex, making any defense far more complex to mange, it would also inevitable leave gaps air defense for the mobile units. To remedy partly the latter problem the kingdoms would equip all tanks with an unmanned 20 mm chain gun, with the correct explosive rounds this would allow the tankers to deal with drones while on the move. For the gaps in AA to deal with aircraft or at the very least helicopters the crusader tank already had the solution. Attached to the left side of the turret was a missile module. It has proven useful already in previous conflicts and nothing said it wouldn’t be useful now. Their was even a push to have all kingdoms tanks fitted with such a module, yet their was something else in mind. Vickers company had been working on a way to increase the protection of a tank without adding more armor, though smoke was already used with it doing little about ambushes or fighting in a stiff wind, they had worked on something else. An active protection system designed to intercept incoming projectiles, working off an AI that would recognize incoming projectiles it would be far faster then the human crew reactions. The system was not full proof, nothing rarely is but it would help. In the end Patron and Harrison would agree to add these systems to the Matilda and Churchill’s tanks while the Crusaders would keep their AA module. Including the optics, active protection system and chain gun would cost 200 million for the whole fleet of tanks, a steal at that price... Yet though new models would of course come with these upgrades then older models would need months to be out fitted.
And on the topics of the Army, its production was also seeing a ramp up. New tanks, APCs and IFVs were rolling off the production line. Already each regiment was at a least a quarter strength in the terms of mechanical assistance. This would allow these new units to train on their own equipment, yet to augment domestic production the kingdoms would also seek out IFVs and APCs from ally’s. The Germanic market provided much with more planned but it was clear the army wouldn’t reach full strength by the middle of march, it was argued if it would reach two thirds. Yet despite set backs, delays, and fear of cost over runs it was expected by April, or middle of April at the latest that all needs equipment would have been produced. For the artillery and AA systems things had been easier, in the three months since start all of the towed to motorized conversions had been completed with production of the 105 and 152 mm cannon being quite successful with them still on track to be completed by march with currently two thirds (including conversions) in the hands of new units. Yet the more complex Rapier AA system was proving more difficult, issues with mirco chips needed for their production due to consumer electronics simply out bidding them for the most part. To avoid massive cost over runs the Imperial Corp had cut back production, Yorkshire Aerospace had partner with British Electrics Limited to keep production at a reasonable rate. Yet conversions of old models had been also completed it was expected that their be a few weeks behind schedule but not the worst news. With just under half the needed units in the hands of their regiments things were going well enough. Engineer and support vehicle production was barely even noticing a difference, they had over produced for the first Mysorean Yemetian war and the second, and due to both higher then expected production and far lower attrition rates then projected. Before march the last bits of needed equipment left the factory floor, it was a pleasant surprise for Harrison, of course production would continue to build up spares like he had order several times before. This next war was expected to be more intense then the last two put together.
Finally came the royal navy. They were a mere week away from the naming ceremony as all six new carriers finished the last bits of the work needed on the super structure. The new addition to the destroyer fleet had been much slower then hoped only 10 of the 38 had left the slipways, yet another 18 were in the final stage. The light cruisers were worse with only 2 of the 6 had the hull completed. Yet this was needed as all focus had been placed in the carriers, this had drag experienced men and material away from the other parts of the fleet construction. Yet soon it would be time for the escorts to be the only thing left to be built. Yet British shipyards was till demanding more work, with a new project with 
Sumoriant which would see a 4.5 billion OSD payment to build 4 heavy cruisers for the nation, it would take months for them to finish but the plan was laid out.
Lungha, Yemet, The Greenlandic North, and Emnaria
A massive, armored figure obscured by the shadows of the floral drapes stood beneath the soft glaze of the moonlit foyer, running his hand across the frosted windows and ancient brick, the mechanical organs of his suit creaking with the wavering of his fingers. Lucille, confidante to Gullimere, stands atop the winding staircase peeking at the checkerboard marble floors. A subtle fluorescent hue emits from the imposing silhouette below, surrounding him with a halo of blue ultraviolence.
GULLIMERE (bellowing): Lucille! I see you there now— no need to hide.
LUCILLE: I was not hiding, Gullimere. I was merely cautious to not disturb you on the business of state. Utociste-Zeme, huh?
GULLIMERE: I do not appreciate your eavesdropping.
LUCILLE: I am your closest advisor, am I not? It would be wise to entrust me with such matters, but alas if you feel that my input is no longer valuable…
GULLIMERE: I value your opinion.
LUCILLE: Utociste-Zeme is an opportunity which you must take. Gullimere, dispatch a delegation to Chan'Kogalnikeau immediately, and inform Gothilum of our arrival.
GULLIMERE: I do not understand.
LUCILLE: Listen. Jenovah has been groping for a way to meet with Gothilum whilst evading the international scrutiny we already face, and the insecurities of our.. allies. Costin Dra’ Apostu and the death of his father are the perfect scapegoats to send a formal imperial party to gauge the temperature of this new ruler and, on the sidelines, speak directly to Braga.
GULLIMERE: I am beginning to understand now, but…
LUCILLE: Gullimere, did you take the doctor’s prescriptions today?
GULLIMERE: I did.
LUCILLE: Ah, you are terrible at lying. I shall fetch your medication. Gullimere, the radiation sickness can only be warded away if you take your medication. It dulls your senses. A woman can always tell.
GULLIMERE: Lucille, what does Jenovah have to gain from Gothilum?
LUCILLE: A better question: what do you have to gain from meeting with Gothilum? I can answer that with ease: regime security.
GULLIMERE: The Peninsular Empire is more secure than ever, and our hegemony of the continent remains unchallenged. The Flettish and their SSTO sponsors no longer pose a relevant threat.
LUCILLE: Let me bore you with an anecdote from history then: when the Boreal was finally tamed by the Alphonsite kings, the nation could no longer find foes from outside, and began to look for foes within, and such the Fusean Empire disintegrated when its people grew pompous and wealthy, spoilt with the cornucopia of an entire continent, and free of conflict. Jenovah survives because we struggle, but now the Peninsular Empire has reached from sea-to-sea, from the desolate taiga to the sweltering desert, and has engulfed those millions into its empire.
Lucille lights an opium-tainted cigarette, allowing the burn to linger as the nerves in her body slowed to a quiet calm, staring at the empty space in the mahogany wood where an oil-painted portrait of an old emperor hung. A Japanese-style woven tapestry of exquisite tussore-silk framed this sullen gap in room decor, perched above the divan of saddlebags from which Gullimere smoked his crystal hookah. Lucille had noticed the apparent absence of portraits in the chateau when she was first brought to the estate by Gullimere, and the paramount leader’s inability to procure any memorabilia of his family only betrayed his chattel heritage; the floundering insecurity of his regime in an empire where caste maketh man. As astute as Gullimere demonstrated to be in the decade he has ruled, he was raised with a plebeian mindset; he can never be emperor, and he will leave behind no legacy with him.
LUCILLE (continuing): It would be naive to believe there are no enemies from within. In Strallé, you are safe, but should you leave? A matter of time before a disgruntled warlord leads a revolt, a messiah rises from the south claiming to be the emperor-reincarnate, or the Flettish restart their holy war of retribution. An alliance with Gothgraff and Lilium is regime security that no other can provide. A stamp of the ultimate legitimacy to flash before your opposition. The Gothic promise.
Lucille exits the room to leave the paramount leader combing over his thoughts, stepping into the kitchen where she would fetch the prescription from a secret cabinet underneath the granite countertop, but not before dousing the pills in a pipette of her herbal concoction and leaving the tampered medication to dissolve in the water and bringing to Gullimere. A poison which slowly seeped into the veins of his body undetectable by even the finest physicians of the empire, it would not condemn the paramount leader to an early grave, but his bones shall grow frail with time, his vision clouded, and judgment muddled with demented fog, susceptible to the persuasion of others. But Lucille must travel to Gothilum first to make a deal with the devil.
GULLIMERE: I will send a delegation to Chan'Kogalnikeau, but I must send somebody whom I dearly trust to oversee affairs as I want: you.
LUCILLE: I will attend on your behalf and meet with Gothilum, and Strallé will be yours to tend.
GULLIMERE: Then, it is done.

To whomever this may concern,
We here at the Directorate of Media and Communications have been recieving complaints from many other Canineians about a tapping noise being heard during phone calls and radio broadcasts, a sound which we have noticed as well.
We are almost sure that this sound is being produced by an old Emnarian Radar Array which may or may not have been activated.
This is an official complaint as the tapping has become rather annoying and disrupting especially in emergency calls and military communication. Thus we are asking you from a diplomatic standpoint to at the very least limit its range or turn it off completely.
We are aware of the importance of Emnarian defence and understand that this radar may be a good way to detect any potential threats but are also aware that modern more quieter radars would also suffice, especially since the Tysemny and Ceres are in states of peace and have been for a while.
Thus, we ask you to please turn off the tapping and will be grateful if you do, we thank you for taking the time to read this message.
With regards,
Saoirse Feltpath
Director of Media and Communications

Emnaria and 
Canineia were in dispute due to Emnaria radar system causing a tapping sound over most Canineia communication system. With things heating up and boths sides on the verge of threats the kingdoms offered a solution. It was upgrading its own radar system and had a few left over Mark IIC Yorkshire Aerospace Radar transmitters and receivers. It would instal these for free in Emnaria for the sake of peace in the region. This was accepted as an solution by both sides, leaving there Usonea base, the kingdoms would arrive in North Anea and set up the new radar, with the tapping hopeful dealt with and an upgrade to Emnaria radar system to boot, the Kingdoms would offer a joint war games between all three parties. Though Canineia would refuse, at the very least no conflict would arrive between either powers over the installed Radar for now.

EMERGENCY CONFERENCE OF THE SUMORI NATIONAL ASSEMBLY - JUNE 15TH, 2024
"Okay... what the hell happened?" Jazaar said frantically.
"One of our largest oil wells has dried up, Mister President." they said.
"You....you're f**king joking, right?" Jazaar doubted.
"No." they said, handing Jazaar a map of the oil wells in Sumoriant. "If you see there, in the southwest, the El-Harrakuun oil well has entirely dried up. From 20 million barrels a day down to 9 in the past 4 years, now it's finally stopped."
Jazaar stepped back from the table in disbelief, clenching his head in his hands. How could this have happened?
"Do we have any course of action even remotely planned?" Jazaar questioned.
The corporate representatives looked at the Ministry of Energy's spokespersons.
"Well... partly." one stood up and said.
"Don't you dare say nuclear energy. Don't you dare." Jazaar fired off.
"Solar and nuclear energy might be the only way to combat this. If the El-Harrakuun well has dried up, who's to say the rest won't? We should work to rapidly begin to prepare for the loss of our oil industry, effective immediately." The spokesperson continued.
"Zuraara damn it..." Jazaar accepted. "Fine. Get the Ministry of Transportation and the Haijja Oil Company to cooperate with the MoE to fix this crisis. Come back to me when that's done."
"As you wish, Mister President." the spokesperson said, rising ftom his seat with the rest of the representatives, before leaving the room.
Jazaar was now alone, and he pulled the flask of whisky out of his blazer and took a swig.
"Damn corpos..."
“I am truely Humbled by the Loyalty of Love of my people. We the Narag House desired to give the people a say and so we did. Yet my beloved people desired that the House of Narag not give up. Therefore with the Permission of the Kristan The Emperor Of the Naragians shall work side by side With the Kristan and its Consul to bring Prosperity, Stability, And Honor To our Glorious People. Remember the Words of my father when the Barbari(Barbarian)invaders attacked for the Third and final time. Honor, No matter how dire the Situation never Forsake it. We Naragians are the most Honorable People in the world. Our Code of Honor dates back to First Emperor Theo Narag back in the fifties AD. As Emperor of the Naragians I must set the example For all Other Naragians… No For the world. We are one of the Oldest Civilizations in the world dating back to the Birth of the First Neo-Naragians eight thousand years ago. We have a duty to protect this world and Guide it to the Future the Ancestors promised. We are a long way from that Goal but as my Grandfather Astril Narag, The Great, Said. Progress can Only be Achieved One step at a Time. That first step must be made by us. We must end our Isolation both Economically and Politically. We carry the will of a dead people. One day we will reclaim the Imperial Homeworld but we can only do this as a united world. Peace, Honor, prosperity to you All.” With this speech The High Priestess of the Chosen walks up to him placing the white Jade Crown on Sol’s head as her ancestor Did for First Emperor Theo.
After this meeting Sol’s Nineteen Wives walk up from the place Garden. Sol smiles at him pulling them in for a group Hug. “Our Family must be reminded of the love We share… so that The Civil war Forty years ago will never happen again. Theo should Never have been forced into a Corner.”
One of his wives Theodora smiles. “Thank you Love… For considering my father’s situation. Where ever he is I Hope he is happy.”
Sol laughs. “From what my father tells me My Adopted great Uncle is likely watching. Seeing his daughter happy would be all that matters to him.”
They travel to the Kitchen for the Evening meal of Lamb steak and mashed potatoes With peppers.

The Conservative Scottish MP was enraged as he spoke to the reporter "Salachar, the lot of them. First SSTO refuse to make a deal with the league, and now the league influenced by that Salachar of 
Great Jenovah wants to force us out of the league!" This would go on for another 5 minutes before Prime Minster Talyor turned off the radio.
Deputy Prime Minster Emily agreed with him the position was dire, league delegate had yesterday hounded the kingdoms. Wardency delegate had stated that no league member outside of the Germens were allowed to build base in the kingdoms. What followed was demands to leave SSTO and join the league or out right leave the league. When the kingdoms countered with its four-step road plan this was shut down. As things began to degrade with the more pro Jenovah elements pushing for a kingdom’s expulsion. Eventually this lead to a Pandoska compromise were such bases would be allowed but not protected by the league as a whole. Emnaria would withdraw from joint military excises with the kingdoms and Sumoriant base deal was back tracked. The situation seemed dire… seemed.
Fujiwara Tochi excise and membership of the containment coalition, was still secured and the arguing between delegates would see the nation of 
SFRS Syrvostrovia, newest member as the league was a potential ally. Reaching out to the SFRS the kingdoms would suggest trade, base exchange, and joint military excise. With the hope the nation would join the Jenovah defensive coalition when the time was right. Though Emnaria and Sumoriant would be un willing to renew the old deals, the kingdoms would see AGU none involvement as both a good and bad sign. There neutrality was seen as giving the kingdoms the needed wiggle room to start wheeling and dealing.
Canineia base at Galway was working well with plans for further SSTO bases in kingdoms Fusea territory in the near future. This offered SSTO a safe base outside the range of Jenovah guns and joint exercises would be floated by the kingdoms. As if the league would not recognise the northern Fusea threat the kingdoms would, and was willing to do anything to ensure league dominance over the far east.
Looking further abroad the kingdoms would reach out to 
New Narag Empire seeking further trade and a possible partnership with a fellow democratic nation. Talyr was the next, bordering the kingdoms Osea Colony of Osea the kingdoms seeked access to the nation oil exports, willing to pay a high price and offering the nation needed food imports. The kingdoms also seeked friendly relationship offering to recognize the current border to start friendly relations.
“Bad news, Mister President!” one of the advisors said, running into the room.
“Take a breath, man.” Jazaar said. “What happened?”
“So… you know that oil well that dried up?” the advisor asked nervously.
“Yes. What about it?” Jazaar said.
“Another one's gone too.” the advisor said.
“What?”
“We've lost one of the largest oil fields in Sumoriant, which has led to the MoE proposing a rapid acceleration of the nuclea-”
“Good God… Keep this from the public eye.” Jazaar ordered. “We can't risk this getting out and crippling the Dierham and by extension destroying what's left of the Riyal.”
“Of course.”
Jazaar turned to the window and took a glance over Haijja. First one, now two? Down from 120 years to now 20 at most. This was bad, and getting so, so much worse at every possible turn. Perhaps it was time to assemble the entire government and publicize this?
EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY OF THE SUMORI FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - JUNE 26TH, 2024
This was it. The final assembly of the entire Sumori government.
Jazaar had low expectations for this assembly.
“I have come to deliver this assembly a message: the Sumori oil industry is about to crash for good.” Jazaar began.
Shock, horror, and outrage erupted from the various Ministries present in the assembly, with some even questioning Jazaar’s very simple statement.
“Please, everyone be calm, and let me explain!” Jazaar exclaimed. “Please!”
The room slowly quieted down.
“Thank you. Now, as I was saying… the Sumori oil industry is about to die out forever. On behalf of the Ministry of Energy and the Haijja Oil Company, we have begun the construction of a myriad of nuclear and solar plants to combat the impending crisis. We have also taken the liberty of not publicizing this matter until we find a proper way to diffuse this crisis; the assembly of which you all are present, is that solution. So, I open the floor to deliberation. If we cannot come to some form of agreement, then we will reconvene this assembly at a future date to discuss the matter at hand. We will reconvene until agreement is reached, or, if agreement is reached in any meeting, then we will convene a meeting to discuss the terms of which have been laid forth in the prior agreement and their proper implementation as policy. That all being said, I release the floor for debate.” Jazaar finished.
The Transportation Minister raised her hand.
“Madam Nazeer.” Jazaar allowed.
“With all due respect, Mister President, what does the switching to nuclear and solar mean for our automotive and general transportation industry? Won’t this necessitate a rapid transition to atomic-powered or solar-powered automobiles?” Nazeer concernedly asked.
“We will certainly have to switch over to some alternative to oil now that our reserves are dwindling.” Jazaar answered.
The entire debate raged on for several hours, with the Ministries going back and forth over the matter, but in the end, it seemed the consensus was clear: atomic energy was the best way forward for the automotive industry, while solar for the rest of the country.
“I shall now close the floor for debate. If we have no further discussion or concerns to address, then this assembly may proceed to vote.” Jazaar said.
The ministers all nodded.
“Very well.” Jazaar affirmed. “Those in favor of the proposal to transition the Republic away from natural gas and oil reserves as the main source of Sumori energy?”
Several raised their hands.
“Those opposed?”
Nobody.
“In that case, this emergency assembly of the Sumori Federal Government is henceforth adjourned and shall convene at a later date to discuss the implementation of these reforms.” Jazaar said, whacking a nearby gavel against the wooden podium he stood at.
It would take some miracle to save the Riyal… and by extension, the entire Sumori economy…
EMERGENCY CONFERENCE OF THE SUMORI FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
“So, we've gotten this far.” Jazaar said. “Shall we begin?”
The delegates took their seats.
“To recap our last emergency meeting, we agreed to switch oir transportation industry off of oil to atomics, and the remainder of the industry for civilian use going to solar from here on.” Jazaar began. “Shall we begin, all that being said?”
The ministers nodded.
“Very well, then. We brought up atomic powered automobiles at our last assembly. Shall we take a vote on its implementation?” Jazaar said. “Those in favor?”
All for.
“Very well. Those opposed?”
None.
“In that case, this proposal Is implemented.” Jazaar said. “We have no further motions to discuss, so this assembly is henceforth adj-”
“Mister President!” an advisor shouted, running into the room.
“Yes?” Jazaar asked.
“Our remaining oil fields in the west have entirely dried up.”
Shock and horror enveloped the room as a dead silence settled over.
“Dear God…” Jazaar said, trailing off. “Okay. We can't keep this private much longer. Our trade partners definitely are going to realize the oil is going. We should prepare a public statement…”
