Outpost 16

Outpost 16, known as Avamposto 16 in Jochaenan and Vampost 16 in Lofluarian, is a strategic military installation situated on the eastern coast of Lofluaria. Originally established as a Lofluarian army base, it has since been leased to Jochaclia following the end of the Yathari occupation in 2024.

As part of the lease agreement, Jochaclia split the base into two halves, with Jochaena and Aclia each receiving one portion. The primary purpose of the base is to serve as a coaling station and naval base for Jochaclia, as well as to provide a protective presence to deter Yathar from attacking Lofluaria.

In 2031, following the collapse of the union state, Lofluaria briefly occupied the base. However, it was subsequently returned in its entirety to Jochaclia in 2032, demonstrating the strong diplomatic relationship between the two nations.

Overall, Outpost 16 plays a critical role in maintaining regional security and stability, serving as a symbol of cooperation between Jochaclia and Lofluaria in their joint efforts to maintain peace and protect their interests.

Who owns the outpost?
De jure, Outpost 16 is leased to Jochaclia by the government of Lofluaria, which retains ownership of the land. This means that Lofluaria legally owns the base and has the authority to revoke the lease if the terms are not being followed.

De facto, Jochaena exercises control over the base, as it is responsible for its operation and maintenance. Jochaclian military personnel and equipment are stationed there, and the base serves as a critical naval and coaling station for Jochaclian forces.

Overall, while Lofluaria retains legal ownership, Jochaena effectively controls Outpost 16. The two nations maintain a close diplomatic relationship and work together to ensure the base serves their mutual interests.
