Financial Report for Proposed Budget
______________________________________________________________________

31st December 4757

Towards the end of the year, the government issued 2 bills being:
Budget - Income: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=624157
Budget - Expenditure: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=624171

Changing the budget in a more drastic way and eliminating the need for insane taxes just to be put in some surplus fund. The government, still maintaining a surplus of 62,478,308,135.57 DTE has managed to lower costs for companies and people alike. The government has also set up a financial report task force within the Finance Ministry itself. The Task Force set up a Deltarian Budget Spreadsheet, available here for transparency and actual calculation purposes. We are now going into analysis purposes.

->Economic analysts unanimously agree that bureaucracy and politician wages in ministries like the Head of Government department can now be paid with no problems whatsoever, corresponding with IG law.
->Under the new budget, Health, Education and Defense are top priorities. Hospitals and schools have as such raised wages to comply with de-jure laws. A performance increase has already been noted, despite analysts stating that a 4.4% and 3.6% of GDP spending might still not be enough and get the libertarian government to cut back on former socialist policies.
-> The Defense Ministry has stated that the extra funds it's getting will be used to reconstruct the Deltarian military as stated in a recently proposed bill.
-> Economists state that this major shift in economic policy will undeniably bring GDP and employment growth, especially if in the future, combined with several company deals and investments.

The Reformation of the Deltarian Military
The Deltarian Ministry of Defense has gained the authorization of parliament to start on a big maintenance project to make sure all major weapon systems remain operational in the future
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cahtice: The Deltarian Armed Forces has for centuries been the pillar of Deltaria. With countless governments using its strong warfare tradition and arms industry to project Deltarian power accross the globe. After near 50 years of relative decline it has now become evident that the military needs a injection of cash to do a proper maintenance sweep of major weapon systems. To achieve this the Federal Assembly (now Imperial Senate) passed a reform that reserves 50 billion LOD for the Ministry of Defense to repair what needs to be repaired and make sure all major weapon systems remain operational in the foreseeable future. One of the main systems that will be looked at are those of the new Imperial Navy and its Nemec carrier. The Nemec class carrier has been the pride of the Deltarian navy for over a century and, with one remaining operational, the Ministry of Defense wants to keep it that way. Additionally the destroyers and other ships within the fleet are also being checked upon and possibly improved with the budget.

Besides the navy the airforce will also receive a maintenance sweep with the different jets within the airforce getting slight improvements to make sure they remain operational for the foreseeable future. This includes the R-37 stealth fighter jets and the multirole fighters that form the backbone of the Deltarian Airforce.
The Army will receive funds to repair and modernize a large part of its major weapon systems such as tanks, anti air missile systems, artillery systems and other equipment in need of repairs. The bill does however not only include funds to repair and modernize the armed forces but comes with a plan to adopt a new doctrine named the "Three Branch Supremacy" doctrine. While in the past Deltarian High Command had a mainly naval focus, with the navy receiving most funds and attention, now the Imperial Ministry of War (MoD) will adopt the new doctrine which aims at giving attention to all branches equally and making sure that the Deltarian Armed Forces as a whole are "theoratically capable" of winning a defensive or partially offensive war against at least the next two major geopolitical rivals of Deltaria.

To make sure we adhere to this new doctrine it is of utmost importance that we stick to it for a long period so that our military services have the time to build up strength and train to achieve their goals. It will be a long road ahead. But the current 50 billion investment program is just the first step into succesfully adhering to the Three branch Supremacy doctrine


Said Army general Roman Rezek, leader of the Imperial Armed Forces. The special forces of Deltaria, the ZNZS has also received dedicated funding in the passed bill, allowing them to retrain and aquire new specialized weaponry if needed.

The opposition in the form of the Conservative Democratic Union has already stated that they want to pass a reform to "divert a minimum percentage of the GDP towards the military" with some estimates going as high as 3%, meaning that no government would then be able to go below 3% of the GDP for the military budget without first repealling the law. The sitting libertarian government has already stated that this is a step to far but that they are willing to "invest greatly" into the new doctrine. Subsequently the Imperial Ministry of War has stated that it is "of utmost importance" to develop a roadmap for the Deltarian economy to ensure that the economy and living standards of ordinary citizens keep growing so that "the deltarian economy will not be overburdened with military expenditure as happened during the last Czarist era".
The Ministry of War has also reportedly been discussing with other ministries and defense companies in further strengthening Deltaria's domestic arms industry, as Deltaria was once the largest weapons producter on the planet the Imperial Ministry of War hopes to possibly make this a reality once more, tying the military and the economy closer together.

The military has been reformed into the "Imperial Armed Forces" once more with the different branches being named the "Grand Imperial Army, Imperial Navy and Imperial Airforce"

Mikuláš of Georgijević-Tesař elected Czar of Deltaria
In the first ever election of the Czar 4 of the 5 duke's and duchesses voted for Mikuláš of Georgijević-Tesař, making him the first Czar of the new Deltaria
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cahtice: It was an election many Deltarians had been waiting for. A first in modern Deltarian history. As some historians described it is a "mix between the old and the new, a balance between tradition and modernity". The newly appointed Duke's of the various regions and the Duchess of Darali voted on the new Czar of Deltaria. The one that would win this vote would become Czar of Deltaria for at least 10 years. As most royals agreed that the house of Georgijević-Tesař was one of the strongest claims to the throne as of now, they made a pledge to make Mikuláš of Georgijević-Tesař the new Czar. Staying true to tradition, at least for now.

In a dark room within the Imperial Palace of Cahtice the 5 royals convened together as "the council" and debated for over 4 hours amongst themselves. While the Thallers, Cstibors and Alazan royals opted to vote for Mikuláš the new Duke of Doron Akigo, Vadir of Swaefheard, voted for himself. The reasoning behind his vote was, according to a public statement, "the continued disregard for the Doron Akigan people by various Deltarian governments over recent decades". It is known far and wide that Vadir of Swaefheard of the House of Swaefheard is a fierce Doron Akigan nationalist and that he wants to see a independent kingdom come into fruition. However, his vote did not matter in this case as Mikuláš was still elected Czar with a majority. He will henceforth be known as: First of his name, protector of Deltarians, Emperor of People's, Protector of the Holy Faith, Divine Ruler, Czar Mikuláš I of the House of Georgijević-Tesař. New elections for Czar will only be held on his death or the end of his 10 year term. Beneath this system of electoral monarchy there is a fully fledged parliamentary democracy where the Libertarian FLS is currently in power. The generally monarchist KDU has already stated that it will "protect the traditions and believes of ordinary Deltarians in the opposition" and is ready to fight for every seat in the next election. While some doubt the ability for Deltaria to remain a democracy co-existing with a constitutional monarch there seems to be a general intend from the FLS and even KDU to fight for the new system and keep democracy alive and well within the reformed Grand Empire.

Statement to Recent Opposition Bill
The Libertarian wrote:We will always fight for the individual's rights, regardless of whether religious people like it or not. The opposition would rather if gays in the military be forfeited of this individual right of expression, and as a reaction to their also warmongering bill here, a demonstration will be taking place in front of their HQ. Gays are more than welcome to fly their flags, express themselves and have an official gay pride parade alongside such demonstration. We will not be commenting on the FLS' amendment, yet we must positively acknowledge that this anti-gay act isn't included. :) Well Done FLS!


News Regarding Libertarian Government Convention
The FLS has reported that such convention, held in Čachtice last Tuesday, has been a major success. All states have proposed and passed legislation through their state Senates to fill the new laws they now have control over. All such policies are maximum laissez-faire, yet the Doron Akiga state has current infighting going on between the truly Libertarian state senators and a tiny set of senator defectors who support the Duke and their state more as the latter want Doron Akiga to take a more separatist stance. How all this goes will depend on how the Duke responds and pressures voters. We, the deciders of whose gonna be elected as state senator, PRESSURE such people to get in line with their mainstream party.

Footnotes regarding Deltaria
-> Praise of FLS budget is now constant across 'The Libertarian' activists as the economy finally gets back up again following stagnation, according to top experts!

Duke Vadir of Doron Akigo disbands regional parliament, calls a new election
The Duke of Doron Akigo has used his his royal privilige to disband regional parliament and call for new election as the deadlock continues
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ȝeomorceaster: As regional governments are installed accross the duchies of the empire and normal legislative processes are starting up, Doron Akigo has started its journey as a Duchy of the Empire in a rather destablizing way. As the ruling FLS party tried to push through their regional cabinet and early reforms, several Doron Akigan nationalists and conservative members of the FLS broke off from the party to form their own faction. This faction has since been blocking all attempts at forming a regional government or passing laws.

This constant stalemate has had an effect on Doron Akigo both socially and economically with the Duke now de-facto holding power until a government is formed the economy has seen a sharp decline with Doron Akigan growthrates at -2.31%. To make sure that the region gets back on its feet the Duke, Vadir of Swaefheard, has now disbanded the regional parliament and called for immediate elections to be held. Parties only had a week to campaign and the Duke, working together with Doron Akigan nationalists and other monarchist factions, formed a party that is heavily influenced by himself. The party, named the Doron Akigan Independence Party, is formally a independent conservative and nationalist political party vouching for Doron Akigan independence and rather conservative policies. Despite being independent on paper many seem to believe the Duke has personal control over the party, possibly violating the Deltarian constitution. The Duke has denied these allegations for now and the national government has not responded to them either.

The election saw the DAIP win a majority of seats in regional parliament, with the FLS closely behind and the KDU being the smallest of the three with only 4 won seats. While the DAIP has won a majority and can succesfully pas reforms and form a government it is unable to change the Doron Akigan constitution or do any major actions to distance themselves from Deltaria. With only a small majority of 27 of the 50 seats in their hands most of their actions will be reserved to economic reforms and the formation of a regional government. The DAIP is therefor simply expected to push through conservative policies but no motions to distance themselves from Deltaria, for now. The majority win of the new DAIP has however caused the national government to keep a close eye on the region as this result has made it clear that a large portion of the Doron Akigan population has a positive view towards independence from Deltaria.

The DAIP is expected to form a regional government in the coming weeks, resolving the political crisis in the region for the time being.

Conservative government outlines economic "vision" for coming years
The vision is centered around rebuilding the arms industry, expanding the tourism sector and focussing on free trade through the MEA
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cahtice: The new government, entirely consisting of ministers from the KDU and led by conservative leader Alois Horak, today outlined its economic program for the coming years centered around "a bridge between old and new". This refers to the new strategy of rebuilding the once mighty arms industry of Deltaria while at the same time opening up new paths to different industries in an effort to diversify the economy. The rebuilding of the arms industry will be done in two phases according to the government plan. Phase one will include targeted investments in the private arms sector, encouraging private arms companies to set up or be created in Deltaria and strengthen inner industry competition with the aim of improving the quality of the weaponry. In contrast to that will be the 10 billion investment into the state owned defense companies Darali Defense Systems and Ushalande Engineering Group. This investment is meant to revatilize the two companies and allow them to restructure with the prospect of new contracts for military construction. The Ministry of War already stated it intends on placing a massive order of newest edition T-80 tanks to replace all remaining T-72 tanks in Deltarian service. Furthermore a order of additional T-90 tanks will also be placed to make sure the ground forces are in possession of several types of tanks for different tasks. The newest tank in the Deltarian arsenal, the T-14, is still far to expensive to produce in large quantities and the current 50 T-14 tanks in Deltarian service will likely not be expanded upon in the foreseeable future. The Deltarian navy is also expected to start expanding in the coming years as it has still largely been dismantled following the Deltarian-Coalition war. Currently only a few ships are in active service of which one Nemec Supercarrier is in service supported by several destroyers. The entire subnautical fleet has to rebuild as well as the navy currently does not have a underwater component and no submarines whatsoever in its arsenal, being forced to scrap all of them after the war. To fascilitate the coming military orders the 10 billion investments come in which will likely be used by both the DDS and UEG to construct and reopen factories and shipyards.

While the military industry has a large role to play in the future economy once more another industry is receiving more attention than it has been receiving in decades. The tourism sector has always been a large sector in Deltaria despite the government rarely paying attention to it. In this new plan however the tourism sector will play a central role. The many historical sites accross the country such as the medieval castles, holy sites and rather long beaches have made Deltaria a favourite destination amongst terran tourists. Recent political instability, the coalition war and other factors have however caused the tourism sector to shrink quite significantly. The new KDU government seeks to change that. With a new stable government and a intention of investing heavily Deltaria is now prepared to rebuild the tourism sector. According to the plan a total of 15 billion LOD will be reserved in the new "Tourism Incentive and Investment Fund" or TIIF. This fund will be used to improve infrastructure such as airports and transfer roads to popular sites, the creation of new hotels by giving entrepeneurs that want to start a hotel the funds to do so, putting more funding in the maintenance of historical sites such as castles, national parks, old towns and more and promoting Deltaria as a tourist destination in globalized campaigns, starting in Majatra. The regions that will play a large role in this are Alazinder, Darali and Dissuwa. Most historical sites are present in Darali which includes one of the most holy sites for Hosianism while Alazinder and Dissuwa have a warm and welcoming climate as well as long beaches and lush forests. In the plan the capital of Cahtice will get a renovated shopping district as well as additional funding to maintain historical sites and provide incentives for hotel owners. Roads from and to the capital will also be improved and around the capital new parks and activities will be created. A part of the funds will be used for Alazinder and Dissuwa, where grants will be given for the creation of new beach resorts and new forest parks and reserves created to increase options for tourists. Additionally the capitals of the two regions will gain a new "entertainment district" with restaurants, stores and shops to attract the tourists from other parts in the regions. Darali will also receive funds to renovate several old towns to make cultural tourism more attractive. These plans combined will all be managed by the Ministry of Tourism and Environment with the first stages already underway. It is expected that the entire investment plan will take around 10 years to be completed.

The last stage of the government plan involves the newly revived Majatran Economic Association. This MEA was created by the Federal government decades ago but has now been revived by the FLS government. Recently several majatran nations join including Vanuku and Kafuristan, two large economies on the continent. The MEA is a free trade organization dedicated to further bind majatran economies together and increase private and government investment. Its also meant to increase free trade between majatran nations and in turn strengthen majatran economies. The Director of the MEA is said to be elected in the coming year and more nations are likely to join. According to First Minister Alois Horak:

The MEA will be one of the most important instruments in coming decades that will drive economic growth in Majatra. By allowing free trade and maintaining this organization that invests into the different economies we make sure our combined strengths will grow our economies and increase the standard of living for ordinary Majatran Citizens


The new plan is already put in motion and will be in full swing within the next few months.

Czar Mikuláš gives his first televized interview
The new Czar of Deltaria gives a televized interview talking about family, tradition and the future of the country
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cahtice: Czar Mikuláš I has recently given his first televized interview for The Deltarian. The Czar, who was elected by a big majority of the Council of Duchies, gave this interview to introduce himself to the people and tell them about what lies ahead for Deltaria. Mikuláš is seen as a pragmatist and moderate. He is nothing alike his grandfather and great grandfather, both of whom ruled a autocratic and highly repressive Deltaria around 110 years ago. Despite this dark history Mikuláš I seems like a entirely different person. He is calm, thoughtfull and kind. And has been described by many within his new court as a moderate who believes in democratic rule. This has already made him quite popular with the general populace and now he wants to bring himself even closer to the ordinary people.

As the interview launched our reporter asked the Czar about his personal conditions and specifically his family. On the question how important his family is the Czar responded by saying

My family is honestly the pillar i stand on. They are always there for me and know exactly how to support me through rough times. As you know our family history is clouded by a dark past. But we have learned and realized our mistakes. My father was a completely different man, nothing alike his father, and he teached me everything i know today. Thanks to him i came into the position to represent our beautifull country and i am gratefull for that


The interview continued to talk about the turbulent past of Deltaria. The many wars and instability the country has faced. But despite the sensitive subject the Czar responded

Deltaria has seen troubled times, no one can deny that. And if im completely honest. I think that the direct way of communicating, the descisiveness at times, it makes it who we are. Every Deltarian i met knows exactly what needs to be done. They do everything for their family and environment and yes that can lead to tension at times. Our turbulent past is not something that came out of nowhere. It was created because of the way we are. Deltaria is currently on a good path but im sure we will face challenges even in the future. The trick is to overcome these challenges and find the best possible outcome. Together


This automatically brought the conversation to the future of the country and the position of the Czar and the dukes and duchess of the empire

My position is clear. I do not rule deltaria nor do i aspire to rule it. I serve. Serve the people of our beautifull country and the government that leads it. I think that democratic rule is essential to the functioning of a country. And i think that our current system ensures that democratic rule stays in effect. yes there will be bumps but that is what democracy is about. Overcome your differences and move forward. If you ask me Deltaria has a bright future ahead and i wish future governments the best of luck in there endeavours. I shall serve the people as they wish me to serve them and do my job, representing the country abroad and within

First Minister appoints new RRPZ director
First Minister Alois Horak has appointed former general Filip Kuchár as director of the RRPZ
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cahtice: In one of his first actions as first minister Alois Horak has appointed former 5 star general and minister of defense Filip Kuchár to the position of Director of the Imperial Directorate of Intelligence or RRPZ.
The RRPZ is tasked with conducting intelligence and covert operations for deltaria accross the globe but has in recent years been neglected by Federation governments. The appointment of Filip Kuchár is a notable one as he is seen as thorough and ruthless in his work, relying on a string of military connections and field experience to base his decisions on. While all operations of the RRPZ are classified and little is known about the institution it is expected that Kuchár will try and reform the institution and expand its operations. Filip Kuchár, who was a 5 star general in the Deltarian Army and later a Minister of Defense under the Federal Social Democrats during the federation era, is seen as a highly competent pick and a rather non partisan one. Kuchár has been a lifelong social democrat. But despite his political allegiances he was already seen by mant as competent to do the job. As Director it is expected that Kuchár will reform the inner administration of the RRPZ, expand its global intelligence and covert operations, expand the RRPZ network accross terra and make more use of new technologies to more effectively run and launch operations. While no official record has been shown a recent transaction of the Ministry of War to a undisclosed government account seems to suggest that the RRPZ, upon Filip Kuchár taking the position of Director, has received additional funding worth over 400 million in total to execute his plan for the agency.

Filip Kuchár will be officially installed by the First Minister at a undisclosed location later this month.
