Xarslasja Port Authority
The Xarslasja Port Authority (XPA) is the government agency of Naval Commerce in the Bezuvate of Xarslasja.
Its headquarters is the Port Authority Tower in Blythe along the Colorado River, though a new, militarized compound is under construction on Shea Island.
The XPA has become an increasingly militarized force after the acquisition of the constituent islands of La Paz County during the Scramble for Murbetia. Tensions between several nations rose and worries of piracy increased as well, making the Port Authority a central force in anti-piracy in the Agmatic Ocean.
The XPA is led by Gu Sabah, the son of Bezuv Agma Schwa.
Notable Events
Gu Sabah strong-armed La Paz County into submission by August of 2024.
In September, Shea Island was constructed into a Naval Complex and the main headquarters of the XPA.
Shea Island is situated in the sparsely populated Gila County, and with its weak local leadership it too succumbed to being governed directly by the XPA.
After October 2024's Amujxplosion, Gu Sabah sent XPA forces to the former Xarslasjan Embassy to Amuj to protect the property while under the transitional Kyacenni government. The Amujxplosion also led those against Xarslasja's joining the South Thasusan Common Market Agreement a few weeks earlier freaking out, as what was once an even and debatable choice now seemed lopsided. In response, Gu Sabah engaged XPA forces in Ajo and Havasu Island and surrounded Arcosanti in protest against his father, the Bezuv. This began the Coup Sabah, which lasted over two weeks until a series of brutal battles ensued. Several nations were involved on either side, and the fight culminated in Gu Sabah's defeat in the Battle of Flagstaff.
On October 26th, 2024, the Xarslasja Legislature banned the use of the XPA flag and legally disbanded the organization, putting its reclaimed compounds under the control of the Xarslasja Legislative Authority until further notice.
Gu Sabah and his supporters held onto La Paz County and the city of Tucson after the battle, which led to the ongoing Gu Sabah Insurgency.
Meanwhile, on November 23rd, 2024, the Legislature announced the creation of a new organization, the Xarslasja Navy, to handle oceanic commerce and military endeavors. The Navy, unlike the XPA, would be a subsidiary of the Legislative Authority and would have to answer to the orders of the Akuv directly.
