Economy on the rise, government ready to attend to the military
With the booming economy many private defense companies have already showed interest in selling their weaponry to the government
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For more then 2 years now the economy in Deltaria has been steadily growing to around 5.2% growth now. With inflation at a steady 4% and unemployment recently dropping to 9.3% it seems the Deltarian economy is experiencing its very own boom. Following this recent increase in economic growth the government is finally ready to take on the big task of reforming the Deltarian ground forces. For now the Air and Naval forces are "sufficient" according to the defense department and they will fully focus on upgrading, reorganizing and expanding the Deltarian ground forces. According to a statement from both the Finance ministry and Defense department this operation, which they call the "Military Ground Stimulus Reformation Act (MGSR)" will cost the state around 125 billion DTE over a span of 10 years. The act will upgrade most infantry equipment to modern standards as well as replace the older tanks in the army with newer ones, new artillery pieces, mortars, APC's and all kinds of supporting material will also be purchased and replaced for the ground force. In addition to this the Deltarian army shall also expand in numbers. From the current amount of over 600.000 soldiers the army will expand for now to 800.000 professional soldiers, with additional tanks and other equipment also being purchased on top of the upgrade of current equipment in order to support the new 200.000 soldiers.
With this massive investment planned to be proposed to the Federal Congress relatively soon we look in anticipation on what this will mean for Deltaria, but also if the economy can keep up with these kind of investments. Private defense companies have already announced they will be more then willing to supply Deltaria with the latest equipment. Will this mean a revival of the Deltarian arms industry as well?

Grand Governor warns Istalia "we are not willing to suffer because of bad decisionmaking of istalia"
The Deltarian economy is booming, but with Istalia threatening to leave the MUN the Deltarian economy could once again be at risk
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Deltarian Grand Governor gave an interview recently in which he described the "dangerous attitude of Istalia towards the rest of the continent"
According to the Grand Governor Istalia is isolating itself by trying to reassert their influence in the region through threats of leaving the MUN organization.
He underlined the fact that the MUN has helped the Deltarian economy to recover from the crisis and be at the point it is now but also how the organization helped other majatran nations in similar instances.
With the MUN we have finally recovered from the first Istalian caused crisis. With Istalia threatening to leave the MUN because of a certain feeling of patriotism in the country they are once again putting the entire continental economic system at risk. Deltaria is not willing to suffer because of bad decisionmaking in Istalia once again. We have had that once but wont have it twice. If istalia decides to continue their threats and continue to force their Istalian patriotism on other majatran nations we have no choice but to take our own steps to ensuring a stable majatra, without Istalian influence
Said Grand Governor Jakub Mrázek.
Analysts suggest many MUN nations to feel the same way about the Istalian threat to leave the MUN and are looking for their own ways to respond to it.
