1978, while scanning the ocean floor, the Revljeric crew was able to scan cavities in the northern exclusive Relvjeric water, They guessed it was what they were looking for Oil. 1980, after a test drill, it was confirmed, it was oil. 1981, Relvjir senate resent a new test drill it was reconfirmed Oil, and other scan ship detected way more cavities, much more oil. late 1981, for trading concers, it was decided to leave the oil alone 1982, to prevent tanavik from trying to exploit thoose wells, Reljir classified thoose documents 1983, the oil in teh northern sea made the Healines, and Tanvaviks drill ships kept getting spoted on the edge of international water in the North sea on the edge of the norther passage mid 1983, Relvjir trippled navy activity with patrol boats. 1985, it is proven that the drilling won't impact the trade routes, the debate reappears. 1987, after 2 years of slow and dull debates, the left party strikes back with ecological worries with the drillings 1991-1997, It is proven that the drilling will have a minor enviromental impact 1997 the left party strikes back with CO2 emissions if using the oil. 2000 to 2019, the debates shift from left vs Right party to the ecologist and economist 2019-2020 debate spark up as a drilling authoziation is propsed to the senate. The senate ultimatly refused 2021, Vaalguard Energy, a Relvjir drilling company rather small shows interest in investing in deep offshore Oil Rigs 2022, Syntech Fuel a very Sucessfull and Heavly backed Revljir Satrtup merges with Vaalgrad 2023-2025, the senate reopens debate on the drilling authorization. this time most of the right wing, many centrist and even some left wing pushed for the drill authorization. Late 2025, the drill authorization passed. Vaalgrad got state fund to build 42 oil rigs. Construction was prepared 2026, Valgrad instaled it's first offshore oil rigs, 2 more followed late 2026, the left wing party striked back, led by teh ambitious left wing favorite, Pierj Dvekläf, they were able to stop the drilling. 2026-2028 Valgraad sustained the 3 offshore platform with personel, loosing crazy amounts of monney and not able to drill a single well, not a singe oild baril, not even a gas tank or a liter since the construction of the offshore oil rigs. 2028, Vaalgrad placed an ultimatum to the senate, the right wing did a final stike led by Joanes Av Erdoghf, a royalist, felt to be the nest prime minister, young and smart. Vaalgrad is now allowed to drill, and 7 more offshore oil rigs will be built before the end of the year.
If you have oil, you have a machine to drill it, and you invested millions, that you overspent your military budget, and that you are goig to fall in dept if you countinue, any rational country will just do the extra mile, and drill, we need to drill, take the petrol, not the best ecological decision, but..."
