Economic Reforms proposed, Government Responds to Pontesi situation, Military expansion planned
New economic reforms have been proposed in an attempt to revitalize the Cildanian economy while the government responds to the pontesi crisis and proposes plans for military expansion
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After months of preparations and failed drafts the ruling PDS party has finally proposed a big economic overhaul called PEOBC in an attempt to revitalize the Cildanian economy and "strike a balance between government control and free market enterprises" in the new bill a government controlled central bank will be created. The bill will also lift the ban on private post offices and involve private companies in the management of airports. All this is done in an effort to modernize and strengthen the Cildania economy. By introducing government involvement in some sectors like banking and loosening control in others the PDS government is looking for a way to balance the economy and created a mixed economic system.

According to economists the new reforms will likely stabilize and possibly grow the economy but they would not result in enormous growth as more investment is needed according to the economists.


Cildania calls for summit on Pontesi
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In addition to this the government also "firmly condemned" the situation in Pontesi and has called upon Selucia, Istalia, Vanuku and any other majatran nation interested to attend a emergency summit in Qart Qildar to discuss possible actions against the Pontesi regime. Royal Chancellor Bosio explained the summit by saying "Pontesi has crossed every line possible and no majatran nation will stand for its backwards policies. We have to stand united and take firm action against the brutality of the Pontesian regime"
Bosio has already called back the Cildanian Ambassador to Pontesi and has broken down every diplomatic relation with the nation until further notice.

Military Naval Expansion planned by ministry of defense
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Ministry of Defense under the leadership of Defense minister Yasmine Garcia has announced plans to expand the naval forces of Cildania.
The minister explained the strong naval tradition of Cildania and the necessity of Cildania having a strong navy that "can be compared to the current naval powers of majatra and beyond"
The ministry has planned the construction of new corvettes, destroyers and frigates. New cruisers will not be constructed yet as the ministry estimates that the costs of adding cruisers to the list would exceed the current financial capabilities of the naval budget. The order for the construction of the vessels will be given to several cildanian companies once the necessary budget has been reserved. The defense ministry gave an estimate for the cost of such an order which will be between 10 to 14 billion CDC for all ships. The ministry is looking to construct around 4 new corvettes, 6 frigates and 2 new destroyers. The ministry will also look to majatran partners in finding the correct classes for those ships.

Cildania urges Jelbanian authorities to "not escalate an already delicate situation"
Royal Chancellor Zazu Bosio urges the Jelbanian government to not make haste decisions that could lead to conflict
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In response to the Jelbanian government disgarding the Rklemjistad Summit System the Cildanian Royal Chancellor Zazu Bosio responded by saying jelbania should "withold itself from provocative action that could lead to a further escalation between the current powers inside Jelbania"

Bosio did however protect Jelbanian sovereignty by saying

Jelbania should be able to determine its own fate as its a sovereign country but we must underline the deliquate situation Jelbania is in and the speed at which it could possibly escalate


The Royal Chancellor offered to travel to Jelbania to mediate between Vanuku, Deltaria and Jelbania in resolving this new situation. According to foreign experts the best solution would be for all sides to maintain the Rklemjistad Summit System however Bosio discarded this idea saying that "Jelbania has clearly reached the point that it wants self determination. How this self determination is organized needs to be discussed in order to avoid possible conflict both diplomatically and militarily"

New Defense company VALKRY opens its first naval shipyard in Ahmat
A new defense company calling itself VALKRY has launched its first physical location, a shipyard in Ahmat
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The company has been in existence for a year now. Consisting out of former employees of defense companies around the globe VALKRY was launched as one of the first privately owned defense companies in Cildania. According to its director of operations Bernard Decarlo the company specializes itself in naval design and production however the company is also involved in the development of both naval and ground missiles.

During its one year existence the company had no physical location under their umbrella with the only operations they were running being online. This changed last month however when VALKRY opened its first naval shipyard in which they will be able to construct their own ship designs.
The shipyard is located in the coastal city of Ahmat and is already the third largest in the country upon opening, just behind the government shipyards in Qart Qildar and Zabeh.

According to sources within the ministry of Defense the ministry is in contact with VALKRY on the possible involvement of the company in the construction of 2 of the 6 planned frigates. The ministry wants to test VALKRY its capabilities in constructing ships before using VALKRY designs and possibly contruction workers fully.
The ministry itself is also preparing drafts for a government owned defense company. If this company will also focus on naval production is unclear as of now.

PDS Loses election, defense ministry orders construction of 6 new frigates during demissionary period
While the PDS loses the election its ministries are quick to launch or finish projects
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was a suprising election night. The PDS in the hopes of winning a solid majority for the coming years had organized the early elections in the wake of several majatran crisis. They did however not anticipate the loss they suffered today. Losing their majority outright and facing imminent loss of government.

The PDS was quick in acting after hearing this result. The ministry of Finance and Education quickly rounded up their programs concerning a new learning method in elementary schools and the ministry of Health finished construction of 2 new government run hospitals.

But the Defense ministry took the opportunity to start a new massive project. The minister of Defense Yasmine Garcia has ordered the two government run shipyards to contruct 6 new frigates for the Cildanian National Navy. The new frigates will be of Vanukan design specifically the Zeven Provincien class frigate.
The new cildanian defense company VALCRY has been asked to support cildanian construction crews in constructing the ships and the ministry has asked Vanuku to grant the designs for the ship and give technical expertise during the construction.

VALCRY has also been asked to develop a new type of missile for the new frigates. This missile needs to be small but lethal in size and have speeds that exceeds current cruise missile speeds.

The project has been launched immediately and the materials needed for construction are now being gathered.

Frigate construction underway, Vanuku confirms assistance in construction of the new ships
As VALCRY takes a consultative role in the construction of 6 new frigates the government of Vanuku has confirmed that they will give the blueprints for the Banstill Class frigates
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

VALCRY, the company that was tasked with overseeing and assisting in the construction of 6 new Banstill Class frigates for the National Cildanian Navy has confirmed that Vanuku agrees on granting the company and government constructors the blueprints for the modern frigate. Vanuku will also grant additional assistance during construction of the 6 ships.

VALCRY also confirmed it will be looking for ways to develop its own cruise missiles that could possibly fit in the Banstill Frigate. As Vanuku gave green light for the construction the Cildanian construction crew under the guidance of both VALCRY and Vanukan engineers immediately began constructing the first 2 of the 6 frigates in the shipyard of Qart Qildar.
Company estimates put the estimated time till completion for this first pair of 2 on 2 years. After both are completed they will move on to the next set of 2.

In the meantime VALCRY will develop their new missiles simultaneously. According to its director Bernard Decarlo the company is basing its missiles on various other designs and is looking for a "small, lightweight but powerfull cruise missile capable for quick and descisive operations"

Deltarian company "RedLock" moves its HQ to Qart Qildar
Following several struggling years for the software company RedLock moves to Cildania in order to solidify its position
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For years the deltarian company "RedLock" responsible for many security software programs for governments had been running at a loss. Lesser government contracts in both Deltaria and Lourenne caused the company to lose money for more then 6 years in a row. Now, at the end of its ropes RedLock has announced it will be moving all its Deltarian assets to the Cildanian capital of Qart Qildar. The reason for this drastic move is the cildanian defense company VALCRY. According to sources within both RedLock and VALCRY the company had agreed on a major deal in which RedLock will supply VALCRY with security launch and flight software for the launch mechanism of VALCRY missiles. This software doesnt just protect the missiles but it causes operators on both naval vessels and land installations to track the trajectory of the missile and see all the other info needed to aim it accurately.

The software will be installed inside both the missiles and control centers as an extra layer of cyber security. According to VALCRY such a cyber protection is needed because of the complex nature of the new missiles.

The missiles we are developing as well as the control mechanisms that are delivered with them are very complex in their nature. Because of the requirement for many software functions in the missiles it is of the utmost importance that they cannot be hijacked or damaged through their software. We are happy that RedLock will provide us with the necessary tools to protect these missiles so they can accomplish the tasks they were made for


The exact cost for the deal is unknown but rumours vary between 200 and 400 million CDC.

VALCRY and construction inspectors confirm: "we will build them ourselves"
After Vanuku announced it will no longer assist in the construction of the Banstill class frigates VALCRY and construction inspectors where quick to state "we will build them ourselves"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Earlier this year Vanuku announced it will be stopping the assistance in constructing 6 new Banstill frigates for the National Cildanian Navy. The deal which was made last year included blueprints for the Banstill class frigate and assistance in constructing the ship.

Now with Vanuku pulling back assistance for the construction VALCRY and construction inspectors qhere quick to report that "construction will resume as normal" citing that the blueprints that were given to both the company and Cildanian government are still in their possession and that VALCRY will step up its effort in assisting government construction workers and inspectors with the construction of the Banstill frigates.
The two parties are reportedly also looking for a new partner in the construction of the ship to accelerate the project, however VALCRY made it clear that even without foreign assistance "the blueprints are clear enough for our construction workers to adequitly construct the ships"

The reasoning for Vanuku pulling back support is rather remarkable. The Vanukan opposition named the recognition of fascism by the new Loyalist government one of the main reasons for the pullback despite the Loyalist party recently purging the cabinet of known fascists and publicly stating that fascists have no place in the government. Even going as far as appointing members of the opposing PDS social democratic party as a compromise and a return to normal governship.

The project will be delayed for approximately a year following the deperature of Vanukan advisors.

First 2 frigates near completion as the Vanukan advisors return, remaining 4 ready to be constructed
The first 2 Banstill Class frigates for the National Cildanian Navy are nearing completion and the next 4 are ready to be constructed
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

While at first the project seemed doomed after Vanukan advisors were ready to leave at the end it all worked out. The Vanukan government ensured Cildania it would keep assisting in the construction of the frigates and VALCRY stepped up to increase its development budget for the new missile designs for the ships.

While the VALCRY missiles have not been finished yet we did get some specific details about the features of the missile.
Apparantely the missile will have a new type of head. This head of the missile will be specifically designed to penetrate armor or other objects before exploding. If the missile hits the ground it will explode immediately.
VALCRY calls this system "adaptive hit" as the missile will adapt its behaviour depending on the surface on which it hits.

The construction companies constructing the frigates are extremely satisfied with the results of the first 2 frigates and have therefor asked both VALCRY, the government and Vanukan advisors if the remaining 4 can be constructed simultaniously which is likely to happen.
If everything goes according to plan the last 4 frigates that have been ordered for construction will be finished 3 years from now and the VALCRY missiles made specifically for the new Banstill frigates are expected to be ready for production at the same time.
