Putin Annexes More Land!

[Benuty]

Because this is totally equivalent to annexing Crimea.

The fish actually outnumber the people I hear the Sea's version of the UN is mobilizing to deal with the acquisition of the sea by land grubbers.

On a more serious note, I think it's a bad idea that all these countries are encroaching on R'lyeh, the Great Old One Cthulhu will awaken if they continue.

I think it's a good thing, as long as a good chunk of the money is going to be used to develop the Russian Far East. The area needs development funds, and this could be the ideal provider. On the other hand, I'm a bit apprehensive about environmental concerns.

Vladivostok is quite the boom town I hear, but it appears to be the only place there. To be honest, I'd also be quite concerned about the environment there as there are some very pretty places in eastern Russia on the Pacific coast that could be severely affected by environmental damage, not to mention issues arising with oil exploration and possible drilling in an area well known for seismic activity. If an oil spill occurred there, it wouldn't be the only country to be potentially affected by a major oil spill.

Aside the area of Japan that is constantly destroyed by seismic activity and is already a nuclear zone from where bizarre things coming out of, with the disaster that killed much of the marine life of even California?

I don't think Best Korea would be any significantly affected and it wouldn't even be bad, aside their eastern coast not being developed, and South Korea doesn't depend as heavily on the sea as Japan does, even if it does affect their "darkened façade" (Western coast) or whatever.

The sea is more important.

So now it will seem like the norm when he annexes Crimea!
What a genius!

Unfortunately with H.P Lovecraft opened the doors to purgatory in the 1930's Cthulhu was taken into our world. The leader of the old ones and the Leviathans sits with Dagon at the bottomless sea imprisoned for all eternity by the guardian of the ocean of souls.

Why would it help Russia?

Her [or its] job is to prevent humanities destruction since Cthulhu wouldn't just take over Russia..but the entire world *fakes shock*.

The problem isn't on the coast, it's inland. The Sakha Republic has a population density of one person per 3 square kilometers. Yep, that's not a type. Even accounting for Putin's Demographic Success, that's still 1 per 2.5 square kilometers. That place needs to be developed into a natural tourism paradise, and I hope that the proper investments are made.

So is he going to add that to his list of accomplishments?

A UN maritime commission has confirmed that 52,000 square kilometers in the middle of the Sea of Okhotsk in the Far East is now Russian continental shelf, opening the way for massive oil and gas exploration. The enclave in the middle of the Okhotsk Sea has been recognized as part of Russia’s continental shelf in accordance with the UN Maritime Convention of 1982. So far the zone lay outside Russian jurisdiction because a part of the sea was not covered by the 200 nautical mile zone internationally recognized as area of exclusive economic interest. “This event has effectively taken place,” Russian Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Sergey Donskoy told journalists, stressing that the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf had made a “unanimous decision" which is "unconditional and has no retroactive effect.”

The minister said that from now on Russian laws are applied to all natural resources under the Okhotsk seabed. The new enclave that has been integrated into Russia is comparable to a territory of a European state like Switzerland, Netherlands or Slovakia. The original application for the Okhotsk shelf was filed to the UN in 2001. In November 2013, when the UN agreed with arguments presented by Russia that 52,000 square kilometers of the Sea of Okhotsk, which borders Japan, is part of the country’s continental shelf, the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry described the enclave as a “real Ali Baba’s cave” since it has “plentiful precious minerals and natural resources.”

So, NSG, thoughts?

GOOD.

It seems that Russia is taking advice from God Kefka.

That's exactly right Russia, keep expanding. The West will complain but it can't and won't do a thing...
