Black Thursday sends ripples through Zardic economy

Beleco - Crowned as "Black Thursday" the economic fallout from the perceived failure of the Majatran Alliance has sent ripples throughout the economy in Zardugal, likewise in Vanuku and Istalia and other Majatran economies. President Vlaĥos issued a statement that he had directed the Secretariat of Finance to closely monitor the situation; the Chairman of the Federal Reserve System also stated that they had taken measures to ensure that the Zardic economy was stable. President Vlaĥos has offered assistance to fellow Majatran economies that suffered, noting that: "...with the rise of a new Zardic Eagle, we have a place in leading Majatra and countries that are in need, are welcome to come to Zardugal and we can work out assistance programs with them." When the President was pushed for questions to what Zardugal would do in regards to the Majatran Alliance or the Majatran Union of Nations, the President remained tight lipped. He noted that he was actively exploring all options and the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs was conducting a study on what might be more advantageous.

Zardugal however has been helped as the Defense Material Export Agency has announced that it has exported nearly 15b worth of Zardic arms so far in the close of 4428, bringing it to a total of 37.5b in arm sales for the year. The DMEA is responsible for exportation of small arms, military vehicles and other smaller, less "integral" arms of the Zardic defense industry. Zardugal and the Vlahos administration has directed it's Secretariat of Defense to shop for selling equipment to various countries throughout the world. Only has Ostland purchased a large naval system with the Zeno Morona-class frigate; however Zardugal is actively seeking close allies and friends to sell its equipment such as its MBT and other ground systems.

Zardugal eyes relations with Trigunia
April, 4431

Belgae - Secretary of Foreign Affairs Petro Jordanido announced the intention of a Zardic delegation to go to Trigunia to meet with leading government officials to establish new relations with the newly founded Great Princedom. Speaking at the Trigunian-Zardic Foreign Affairs Council, a non-governmental organization, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs noted that the relations building between Zardugal and Trigunia could lead to a "...new axis to oppose international power blocs that threaten world security and prosperity." While it was not specifically stated, the Northern Council was implied. Secretary Jordanido noted however that the Northern Council had provided the basis for building a successful international power bloc and showed how when nations truly wish to cooperate, they can become an incredibly powerful international bloc.

Zardugal has toughed through the economic downturn following the near collapse of the Majatran Alliance in the wake of the Jelbanian crisis. Zardugal has continued to take measures to ensure that the Zardic economy has stayed afloat. Unemployment numbers have remained low, hovering around 3.9% dropping from the 10.6% underneath the Communist Party of Zardugal prior to the arrival of the Zardic Action Party and the Zardic Democractic Nationalist Party (formerly the Federal Democratic Party).

Hail to the Chief! Pato Zoranido elected President!
September 4431

Image
Pato Zoranido being sworn in

The new Zardic President-elect Pato Zoranido was inaugurated as the official President of the Zardic Federation. The new administration contains many cabinet and senior members of the old Vlahos administration. The new President promised to continue to to build Zardic influence and stated that his eyes were focused on the east, namely Dovani, Vescania and Temania. “We have a duty to our former subjects, namely those who have close Zardic ties. I firmly believe they will be open to our new ways. We will bring freedom, democracy and true Zardic values to the world.” The new President states that he wants to build relations with other Majatran nations while retaining Zardic independence.

The President pushed his new legislation to build the Federal government in food and health regulations. The incoming Administration also seeks to entirely privatize health care but subsides it for Zardic citizens considered to be “low-income”. Rumors are about that the Federal Healthcare and Aid Program (FHCAP) will collect tax from every single Zardic citizen and assist in providing healthcare to low-income earners (when qualified) and special, case by case basis when they qualify. In a joint statement with the Secretariat of Health and Social Services and several state governors announced the formation of Office of Social Services Investigations (OSSI) which function a federal, state and county level in order to assist in preventing fraud against the FHCAP.

Chairman of the Joint Defense Staff spoke regarding Zardic operations in Dovani. The Chairman noted that the Zardic forces had performed well on an operational and tactical level but much was left to be desired on a strategic level. “When it comes down to it, we’ve learned a lot about ourselves and how we do things. Our men and women have made us proud and we’ll continue to provide support for them as best as we can. Zardugal is providing much needed assistance to those in Dovani effected by the war. We’re constantly on humanitarian missions and we’re working hard to restore services to areas we’ve damaged either intentionally or unintentionally. The Zardic Corps of Engineers, a joint branch of the Zardic Armed Forces has been on the ground and assisting the citizens of Dovani.”

Secretariat of Defense weapons expert Prokopio Gregorido spoke today at a press conference in which he underhanded Vanuku’s recent “military equipment” as cheap knockoffs of Zardic produced equipment. He noted that industrial and military espionage might have played a factor but Zardic companies have come under investigation by the Defense Investigations Service. The Secretariat of Defense however notes that these appear to be knock-offs of authentic Zardic equipment. The Zardic Armed Forces also launched a large maritime exercise meant to test their replenishment while underway at sea.

Final victory of socialism in Zardugal!
February, 4433

Today, on February 14, the Radical Communist Party leaders presented a half-million crowd of workers in the capital to announce the final victory of socialism in Zardugal.
After several months of negotiation with the former government, the handover of the power of state over to the Communists finally took place. Immediately, a meeting of RKP action committees was convened to discuss further country governance. The results of this assembly were presented to the crowd by the President Vilhelmo Stelaro. The President has long talked about the ideas of Metzism-Leonidism, the victorious workers' revolution, the joy of the final defeat of the bourgeoisie, and the need for great responsibility for leading a new proletariat led by the state.

We will always fight for socialism and the rights of the people! We will never resign in this fight! All proletarians must work together and live only with the idea of socialism. Only in this way can we definitively rebut the roots of the bourgeoisie!

Hopefully, the new system will last for as long as possible, bringing up a new, satisfied youth.

Judicial processes with RKPs political opponents
August, 4433

After extensive nationalization in Zardugal, a series of purges of political opponents of RKP came along. Two months ago, 27 members of the former opposition were arrested and judged for treason and revolt. The whole process lasted two and a half weeks and was live on television and radio. The court was therefore closely watched by the public, which is mostly overwhelmed by propaganda. The regime is depicting the democratic opposition as a disgusting, subversive bourgeoisie that tries to pull the country into civil war. Every day, hundreds of letters come to the headquarters of the Communist Party calling for the hardest punishment for the defendants.

I hope the court will punish these hideous scums as severely as possible. I personally would have executed them all!
Excerpt from one sender's letter

Image

During the trial, twenty-two defendants admitted to the accusations, and the rest was finally convicted.The judges finally imposed seven death sentences, eight lifelong penalties, seven twenty-year sentences, and five fourteen-year.It was not possible to appeal against the judgment.

By this judgment, we will show everyone who wants to ruin our state that they are waiting for hard punishment for this effort!
One of the judges

The government motivates "shock workers"
March, 4434

A brand new government initiative is trying to focus on the so-called "shock workers". These are workers who exceed work standard by at least 25%. The government offers these people up to twice the salary or a larger number of food tickets. Propaganda can use these people as an example of perfect workers and communists, while persuading people that hard work in factories is paying off.Let us hope that number of this fervour workers will continue to grow.

Petro Anĉjo exceeds the work standard by 198%!

Food Tickets!

The party today announced after a meeting that due to the economic situation it will be necessary to issue a food tickets. A different meal limit has also been set for different age groups. For example: 5.5 kg of bread for the child 0-13 years per month, 8.9 kg of bread for the child 13-18 years per month, 14 kg of bread for the unemployed 18-65 years per month, 23.5 kg of bread for workers 18-65 years per month, 14.5 kg of bread for retired 65+ years per month. There are also several hours of waiting for tickets to be issued, so hopefully the situation will stabilize as soon as possible, and the menu will improve our economy.

ZEMALA: ZARDUGAL ''DESTABILIZES'' DEMOCRACY IN SOUTHWESTERN MAJATRA
PRIME MINISTER BASHES COMMUNIST ZARDIC GOVERNMENT
Image

ISPLJUVAK - Prime Minister Asha Zemala added to the chorus of the Zardic Government’s critics after the communists have taken power over the government in Beleco, which she called “alarming on many levels." Zemala, who’s known to be a big critic of the far-left –and almost every Zardic government-, spoke at an Politiko Magazine panel discussion in Ispljuvak on Saturday. During a question and answer session, the PM said that “the great mystery is why the Zardic people forget about all the bad things communism has brought to them in the past, and also what horrors it has brought to their neighbours.”

Following the collapse of the Zardic Nationalist Democratic Party, the Majatran country had fallen into a lawless state for more than three months. Following the turmoil, communists have now taken power after hosting a snap election, in which they won all the seats. After this, more than twenty thousand Zardics have gathered at the Zardugal-Cobura border, applying for refugee status by claiming that their political beliefs make it impossible to live under communist rule without being forcefully oppressed.

With the Coburan intelligence committee warning that with the new, more radical government, Zardic hackers could again be trying to undermine the Coburan electoral system today, Zemala agreed that Beleco’s covert influence is still a big risk. Zardugals’s radical switch to communism “is a direct attack on democracy in Majatra and destabilizes the Southwestern region”, Zemala added. After the announcement that the Zardic parliament would ban religion in general and imprisoned its opposition members, she responded that ''they will be granted temporary citizenship during their exile''.

Minister of Defence Feyza Hadire already announced to station more troops at the border to safely guide the stream of people, which reports say has grown to over twenty thousand. Several human rights groups in have already set up petitions to encourage the government to give refuge to the Zardic applicants. The online petition ‘Keep our brothers safe’ has been signed for more than 400,000 times. However, a reaction from the Prime Minister is yet to come.

Vilhelmo Stelara about Cobura
July 4435
Image
Prime Minister Vilhelmo Stelara summoned a press conference this morning to respond to criticism from Cobura. The statement began with a speech on the growing power of the bourgeois system in the world and assured the public that no such system would win in Zardugal. In connection with this, he expressed his opinion on closed borders. It is necessary to take measures to prevent foreign spies from entering Zardugal. Then he started to talk about Cobura itself:

Cobura is a bourgeois country that only seeks to get rid of its competitor - Zardugal. The Coburan government points to Zardic refugees who want to return to their country. These people, however, are traitors who have left their socialist homeland before closing the border. Now they want to come back because they find that bourgeois society does not suit them. It's too late. Upon their return, they would immediately be executed for treason.
Vilhelmo Stelaro


Stelara continued to talk about Cobura, using expressions such as bourgeois waste, capitalist exploiters, or the anti-proletarian seat of conspirators. At the end of his speech, he said he was ready to end any diplomatic relations with Cobura if similar criticism would be repeated.
