  • In the Norvinsk Region, a Special Economic Zone That Served As Both
    In the Norvinsk Region, a special economic zone that served as both a bridge between Russia and Europe as well as an excellent location for international companies to do business, a Britain-based corporation called Terra Group began conducting illegal experiments under the guise of creating “new, cutting edge technologies.” When the Russian government began to investigate Terra Group hired a PMC known as USEC (United Security) to act as their proxy private army to disrupt any investigations on their activities. With traditional methods exhausted and their hands legally tied the Russian government took a new approach and secretly created a PMC of their own, known as BEAR, who could successfully combat USEC while keeping their hands clean. It was soon discovered that some elements of the local government also had a hand in Terra Group’s activities by hiding their facilities and officially slating the new USEC forces as being used for “agricultural and mining security”. The Russian government began to believe that these activities were a genuine threat to national security and therefore invested a great deal of resources into BEAR. USEC and BEAR soon came to blows all across the region, the fighting intensifying to the point where a six month political scandal resulted in the involvement of the UN, who soon proved to be ineffective against either side. Eventually, the Norvinsk Region was evacuated by the majority of the civilians who had made their homes there due to the incredible danger that resulted from these battles. Yes, just most of them. Some were ​ ​ unable to leave in time, but some willingly stayed behind in the now mostly lawless area.

  • International Traffic in Arms Regulations As of April 15, 2021 Page 2 of 246 How to Use This ITAR
    International Traffic in Arms Regulations as of April 15, 2021 Page 2 of 246 How to use this ITAR NOTE 1: This edition is prepared by Exports International USA, LLC, and it incorporates all official State/DDTC changes through April 15, 2021. To aid understanding, we at ElL have reformatted this ITAR with an outline-indented format that makes the regulation much easier to understand. For reasons of tradition, U.S. statutes and regulations tend toward a minimalist formatting, with all levels of paragraph numbering and lettering sharing the left margin. This can get bewildering when there are four or five levels of logical subservience, and conventional indent-formatting is more easily followed. NAVIGATION LIVE LINKS: Clicking on the cover page will take you to the master TOC page. We added that master Table of Contents on Page 3, and it is live-linked to the pages in the ITAR. That is, if you hover over any TOC line entry and click, you will be taken to that particular page in the ITAR. Additionally, we live-linked each individual TOC at the beginning of each Part (120 thru 130) to do the same. You can click on the heading titles of the 11 main Parts (i.e. Parts 120 thru 130) to return to the main TOC. As an example, starting with the bottom half of the cover page, it is three clicks to get you to the Canadian Exemptions at § 126.5. And once at § 126.5, you can click on that 126.5 paragraph title to return to the individual Part 126 TOC.
