CLAIMS CRUCIAL COMMERCIAL ROUTES FROM RANSENAR TO ALDURIA UNDER THREAT BY SECOND AMOKOLIAN WAR
Punta Santiago, Alduria – Kerularios and Company, the largest shipping company in Alduria, has announced today that it shall strengthen security measures in the face of growing threats to key Aldurian trade routes stemming from the Second Amokolian War.
The company has also requested that the new Parliament and the next Coalition Government address this growing threat to Alduria’s food security and economic stability.
“Our commercial routes between Ransenar and Alduria are among the most important, for they supply almost 16% of Alduria’s food needs,” explained Kerularios and Company CEO Maximinus Kerularios. “And Ransenar is a key customer of Aldurian oil. Disruption to these routes could be threatening to all of Alduria and its economy, not just to the company.”
Krasnocoria, historically a key Aldurian regional trade partner and friend, has entered the Second Amokolian War against Ransenar and the Raspur Pact, on the side of the Frankish Empire, Batavia, Los Liberados, and Verionian interests.
There is concern among many foreign policy experts in Alduria that Krasnocorian entry could potentially draw in the rest of the USSO alliance, which are Jingdao, Alrig, Krasnocoria, Passio-Corum, Graustark, and Craitland.
This would place Alduria in a precarious position, between two of the largest political and diplomatic blocs in Micras: the Raspur Pact and the USSO. Alduria has traditionally maintained an armed neutrality position, building key trade and cultural partnerships with Jingdao, Alrig, and Krasnocoria, as well as many Raspur Pact nations.
As markets became increasingly globalized in recent years, shipping volumes soared and served as a main driver of Aldurian economic growth for the last decade. Routes between Alduria and the nations of Ransenar, the UGB, Natopia, the Wechua Nation, Constancia and Elwynn (all Raspur Pact nations) covered almost 56% of all Aldurian trade in 1678 AN.
