Pimaonudix - Fezrekia's 'megaprayerdomes': a hidden pillar of the Neutral Zone's top economy

The scene, yesterday

When a guesthouse belonging to one of Fezrekia's leading IntDes pastors collapsed last month, deactivating 115 mostly Jatup Neutral pilgrims, attention focussed on the multimillion-megadollar "megaprayerdomes" that form a huge, untaxed sector of the Neutral Zone's top economy. As the prayerdomes have charity status, they have no obligation to open their holobooks, and certainly don't have to fill in tax returns XELACAPAB an exemption that is increasingly controversial on Fezrekia, where poverty remains pervasive despite the dark matter riches.

Terra Alliance bank mergers still face hurdles post-stress tests

Health checks on the Terra Alliance's banks may reveal takeover targets, but because protectionist regulation across the region has yet to be addressed, any post-"stress test" tie-ups are likely to be along planetary lines and could make a splintered industry more so.

Jaed's bravado ups the ante on Ebaxu IV-Moon Colony Gamma fighting

To judge from the shrill outrage of Ebaxu IV's holobox news channels, the past week's bloody clashes along the border dividing Migesin are all Moon Colony Gamma's fault: one network has been plugging the Nenyek hashtag #PakBorderDare.
