Nowogard, December 4306


XR200A on the Nowogard's Central Railway Station during the inauguration of its service.

Xiandai Group's XR200A, or as called in Valruzia "Strzała" (Arrow or The Bullet), the first high-speed train to operate in Poland, entered service on today's morning - half a month before schedule. This inauguration opens a new era for railway travels in Valruzia. WKP Valruzian State Railway will be able to offer its passengers rides at speeds exceeding 330 kilometers per hour in enhanced comforts, safety, and new standards. The use of "the bullet" will allow for much shorter journey duration. For example, most popular railway connection in Valruzia: Nowogard - Brzansk - from now on the journey from the capital to Brzansk will last only 3 hours and 10 minutes instead of 7 hours and 30 minutes.

The WKP bullet train has from 8 to 12 cars and can carry up to 440 passengers in three classes: first, second and family class. All trains are equipped with advanced entertainment systems for the travelers. The trains are all equipped with an advanced tilting mechanism which will allow the train to enter curves in speed above 250 kilometers per hour.

It is intended to revitalize the sector of maritime travels and international maritime journeys. Mr. Bremer, Kmitta, and Mrs. Stuhl were clearly excited to announce their plans to bring a new quality of cruises and to boost the entire sector. Valruzian Oceanic Lines' aim is to provide short, medium and long-haul cruises around Terra. Currently, the company is in the stage of negotiations with the STDX Greystone shipyard located in Szary Kamien on the deal for three cruise ships for the new company. According to the management of the newly established company, all cruises will be able to accommodate over 5 thousand passengers and 900 crew members. It is not yet certain when the works on the vessels would start, but according to Mrs. Stuhl it will start in "near future".

What is interesting that the plans of the investors from Gryfitow attracted the interest of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism which at the discretion of the Prime Minister decided to invest in the company and became the owner of 8% of the enterprise. The owners said that they do not intend to enter the stock market and are planning to keep the company as one with limited liability to better secure the interest of the company but do not exclude entering the market in the future. The Ministry informed that it monitored the WLO with great interest and saw a chance to build even better brand for Valruzia. This chance promted the Ministry to offer the management of the company its help.

The WLO must now build its fleet and get access to most popular ports around Terra. Mrs. Stuhl, responsible for the PR and contact with media announced that the first countries the new company will try to contact are Valruzia's neighbors: Likatonia, Tukarali, Lodamun, Kalistan and Baltusia.

WKN VOLANTIS WAITING FOR THE "NOD" FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO START WORK ON THE SOUTH OCEAN
Nowogard, June 4307



The biggest Valruzian oil company WKN Volantis (WKN for Walruzyjski Koncern Naftowy) is looking to start construction of five oil platforms on the South Ocean, approximately 320 miles west from Kninsk. The petroleum giant is waiting for the nod from the Ministry of Trade and Industry to proceed with the construction which will be conducted by the Valruzian Construction Enterprise and is predicted to last up to 4 years and cost 1.3 billion valruzian pesos.

Valruzian Construction Enterprise CEO Hanna Protasiewicz said in April this year her company could start the construction anytime. The Ministry must give the initiative a green light. Economists say that exploitation of under seabed oil deposits will boost the economy and will cause the drop in oil prices on international markets. It is estimated that prices of diesel will drop from 1.3 peso to only 90 pelas and a liter of petrol will cost 1.10 peso after the finalization of the projects.

WKN Volantis has long been interested in spreading its upstream activity onto the South Ocean. It has even conducted a series of research to find big oil deposits on the exclusive economic zone of Vlaruzia which gave positive results in 4263, after which oil deposit of 20 billion barrels was found 320 miles east of Kninsk. But no initiative surpassed the stage of planning at the time, as the situation of the market was stable and such investment was not the company's priority.

WKN VOLANTIS STARTS THE CONSTRUCTION OF OIL PLATFORMS ON THE SOUTH OCEAN
Nowograd, September 4307




The Valruzian petroleum giant WKN Volantis in cooperation with Valruzian Construction Enterprise initiated the construction of five oil platforms on the South Ocean. The Ministries of Trade and Industry and Environment and Tourism gave the project the green light. The total cost is estimated to be 1.5 billion valruzian pesos. Most of which will be covered by WKN itself. But according to the information from the management of the WKN up to 400 million will be covered by the National Economic Fund.

Initially, the construction project of five oil platforms was estimated to be 1.2.-1.3 billion but after the Ministry of Environment and Tourism was concerned about the safety features on the platforms. Minister Anna Bodnar said that the crucial factor for the Ministry was the guarantee that the platforms were fail-safe. This forced the WKN to include a couple of new safety features to limit the possibility of an oil leak and a special mechanism which allows for processing the extracted oil in an entirely closed circuit.

The Valruzian Construction Enterprise will build the first parts of the platform on land in a specially designated part of the port in Kninsk. Then after the pylons and structural parts will be installed at the extraction site the rest will be transported an installed on the sea. What is innovative in this project, according to the VCE, is the fact that the entire platform has a modular design and can be easily converted or expanded.

The first platform is set to enter service in September 4311, the rest of 12 months intervals. The WKN Volantis announced that the whole project will bring approximately 5 thousand new workplaces. The company has already started recruitment for the work on the new platforms. It could an interesting offer for those who finish technical universities and polytechnic institutes as the minimum monthly salary on the oil platform, as said by the WKN, will be 5 thousand pesos, 3.4 times more than average monthly salary in Valruzia.

PRESIDENT LICHEŃSKA REPEALS KRAUZE'S DECREE ON COTS BAN.
Nowogard, September 4308.

President of the Republic of Valruzia, Urszula Licheńska, issued a decree in which she repealed ex-president Krauze's Nationwide Decree of the President of the Republic of Valruzia - Protecting the Republic from the Threats of Religious Cults which barred followers of the Children of the Spirit cult from entering the country and from promoting the cult in the territory of the Republic. The controversial decree has been in force since May 4300, and for 9 years followers of the CtOS, mainly citizens of Dorvik where the cult originated, were not allowed to enter the country and those who did and breached the provisions of the decree and promoted the banned cult, by either wearing the symbols of the cult disclosed were subject to fines or even imprisonment for up to 2 years.

For 9 years it was one of the main bone of contention in the dorvish-valruzian relations. Despite the positive policy of both governments, a slight dose of hostility was visible on every occasion and it undermined the mutual trust between Valruzia and Dorvik, which is the most important political ally of Valruzia and one of the most important partners in terms of economy and economic exchange.

Incumbent President during campaign expressed her intention of repealing the decree which, as she explained unnecessarily jeopardized the mutual relations between Dorvik and Valruzia. During the today's announcement of the decree signing, she revealed that only 5 individuals, over the period of 9 years, were subjected to penalties for breaching the provisions, and that is was what convinced the President to repeal the decree. According to the President, such small number of offences proved that there was no need for such harsh regulations and that in fact Children of The Spirit cult did not endangered the Republic in a way ex-President Andrzej Krauze presented it to the wide public.

ECONOMIC REPORT: NATIONAL GOVERNMENT WORKS ON INCREASING INVESTMENTS AND BETS ON START-UPS
Nowogard, April 4311

The Ministry of Finance in its reports indicated that the central budget has a surplus of almost 80 billion pesos, and the financial situation of Valruzia may be classified as, according to the Ministry, 'very good'. For the past decade, the government managed to avoid any budgetary deficit whatsoever. According to the ministry, the incomes of the national budget are kept within the margin of error at 98.5%. Minister Adam Wyszyński said that the ministry notices incomes higher by 13.6 billion pesos higher compared with the previous fiscal year.

The current fiscal and financial situation of the state allows for the proper execution of the budget and covers all expenses of the government, still leaving a considerable amount of money to be spent on investments. The Ministry of Trade and Industry announced that a new governmental programme called "Start-Up Valruzia" and aimed at helping young and creative people to open their businesses and secure a position in the valruzian market. "Start-Up Valruzia" is due to start in August next year. MTI wants to allocate 500 million pesos, initially, to help creative and innovative ideas to modernize the economy. The programme will be closely related to the National Economic Fund and will be able to jointly invest in a specified company.

Nowogard Stock Exchange positively reacted to Valruzia's accession to the Union of the Petroleum Exporting States. Shares of the WKN Volantis and Valruzian Petroleum both grew and now we have to pay 198 VPO for WKN's share and 112 VPO for one share of Valruzian Petroleum. We remind that in recent months WKN started operations on two new oil platforms on the South Ocean. The company has now 5 oil platforms on the South Ocean, and is planning to open 3 more in cooperation with the Valruzian Petroleum.
