Franklin Barvata: Difference between revisions

Barvata's first hurdle in office came with [[Kyrloth]]. Their annexation of Izria saw the Embask oil rigs off the coast of the Undirnor and Slodhir Islands unlawfully and illegally signed away by King Tegura IV to [[Sinter Tass]], which sparked controversy and outrage. Barvata failed to negotiate with Tass and the later sent a blockade of corvettes to the oil rigs. Norgsveltian Prime Minister Sverdrup hosted a meeting between Tass, Barvata and Kuthern leaders. In the meanwhile one of the oil rigs was blown up on order of Artun Sotarikos and sunk the destroyer MBS ''Dovia''. The incident was known as the [[The Lion of Taren Incident|Lion of Taren Incident]], and in the Osfjord Summit Barvata pressured Sinter Tass's government to pay a sum of 20 billion Kiribs (5% of their GDP) for the oil rigs and in compensation. Barvata later sacked Secretary of State for Foreign and Oversea Territory Affairs Janietta Rubis from the cabinet for her poor handling of the situation, replacing her with [[Ron Wehrasbi]].

 

 

Attempting to resolve the differences between Great Morstaybishlia, [[Meremaa]] and [[Norgsveldet]] left behind from the [[Meremaa Civil War]], Barvata arranged a summit between himself, [[Johanna Sverdrup]] and [[Njord II]] in Riberoe, the capital of [[Dalmaghar]]. The leaders signed the Riberoe Pact; a non-aggression treaty and delimitation of the Sjøguds Sea, effectively ending a 26 year dispute over the Exclusive Economic Zone of Lanis Island, where Norgsveldet and Great Morstaybishlia have claims on.
