Government of Battaleon Solidifies Petroleum Deal with Battastan

Le Duck de Beri & Cheikh Quaqbari

As Battaleon is vigorously overlooking the hot conflict between China and Battaland in Versailles Palace, the economic demand both civilly and militarily for petroleum has not settled. Comte Vitor Quacstierre, the Duck de Beri and Minister of Foreign Affairs, was sent by Battaleon to the remote areas of Battastan to make an agreement with the petroleum companies there.

"Battaland is a Nation of 1001 Lakes. But today our people demand oil and not water." Said the Duck de Beri.

The Duck de Beri has finalized terms for the import of 2 million barrels of petroleum a day into Battaland from Battastan's largest oil producer, Cooperative Petroleum. Cheikh Moustapha Quaqbari, CEO of Cooperative Petroleum, has created a joint venture with Battaland and is reissuing his corporate stock under the name Batta Cooperative Petroleum Union.

"We are looking forward to working for many years with the ducks north of the desert" said Cheikh Quaqbari, who is also the prince of the region.

Battaland believes that petroleum will help in developing an industrial advantage in the area. Many factories run on nuclear power, which is very costly. But critics of petroleum say that Battaland should be investing more in nuclear power.

"Nuclear power is the future. The elements have so much energy, we need to invest in putting smaller amounts of uranium and plutonium to work for the benefit of creating low emission effective energy."

For the time being, petroleum will be the life blood of Battaland and is bringing Battastan closer together with its neighbor.

Battaland Petroleum, or BP, is currently the only chartered agency to import and distribute oil in Battaland. It is a government organization, chaired by the Duck de Beri.
