Since [[2003]], the drug trade, especially the opium trade has become a major issue in Chaukhira when the [[Alainfisal#Drug_trade|Alainfisali Kishahurav network]] expanded onto the islands. The [[Revenue_Guard#Organization|Revenue Guard's Grand Station of the Orient]] has increased patrols, monitoring, and personnel on the islands. The issue has also sparked a public health emergency which was called into effect in [[2004]] and remains in effect today. | Since [[2003]], the drug trade, especially the opium trade has become a major issue in Chaukhira when the [[Alainfisal#Drug_trade|Alainfisali Kishahurav network]] expanded onto the islands.

The islands of Chaukhira are home to a myriad of small [[Navy of Burgundie|naval]] and [[Revenue Guard]] stations, and airstrips. While Chaukhira is a key component of [[La Garrote]] it became effectively cut off from the maritime world when the [[1982]] [[LON]] {{wpl|Law of the Sea}} passed the Economic Exclusion Zone provision, essentially codifying that marine traffic to and from Chaukhira must pass through the waters of other nations. Since that time there have been no instances of a restriction of the [[Freedom of the seas]] in the [[Aab-e-Farus]] or the al-Zelaq Straits, but the [[Navy of Burgundie#Grand Eastern Command|Navy of Burgundie's Grand Eastern Command]] is postured for a break out of Chaukhira in the event of war. As such the largest naval base on the islands is primarily used as a transit port and not a permanent station for any of the commands largest and most valuable ships. It has no large scale drydock facilities and berthed ships are never allowed to fully turn off their engines and systems. As such, it is one of the most hated billets or transit points for sailors because liberty is always limited on scope and duration. | |||
