The Ministry of Defense recently revealed that it had begun building up a border wall on the border with Elijang and Reunii. The recent announcement comes after several reports of illegal border crossings from Elijang to Dankuk proper. The illegal aliens where known felons in Elijang attempting to escape judicial punishment for crimes committed in Elijang.

The border wall will be 15 feet tall, with barbed wire topping the structure. Surrounding the wall will be motion sensors, which are intended to alert border guards of possible introduers. The border wall will not cover the entire border, instead it will be located 1,500 feet from the border. Those 1,500 feet will feature several defensive mechanisms, including pressure plated mines and claymores. The border wall will also be surrounded by sniper towers, which have the intended purpose of killing anyone who attempts to illegally cross the border.

The Military Decisions Council has already voted in favor of the border wall proposal and the plan has also been approved by the monarch. Construction plans set the structure to be finished by September 4630, however a temporary increase in border security has already been approved by the MDC to hold off further illegal immigration.

The Central Kyo Bank has recently announced that it would be lowering the national interest rate in an attempt to foster lending and investment. The announcement came during a Central Kyo Bank press statement regarding the worsening economic and social conditions of the nation.

Currently, Dankuk has an unemployment rate of 19%, one of the highest in the first world. Additionally, over 10 million people where lost from Dankuk’s population due to the annexation of Reunii and Elijang by Kazulia. Additionally, major industrial bases where located in those regions, leaving Dankuk without many of its economic pillars. Alongside this, around 1 million reservist have been discharged from active military duty, many of whom are now unemployed.

These factors makes civil unrest more common than ever. Currently, the Royal Police estimate that 105,000 people are murdered every year in Dankuk , a 1,525% increase from the years before the war. This spike in crime rates has been mostly attributed to the increased number of gangs throughout Dankuk, most notably in the capital and near the new border.

The Central Kyo Bank statement stated that it would be dropping its interest rates to allow for increased borrowing, which will hopefully increase the number of business and therefore jobs. Alongside the hope for increased job growth, there is also the hope that more lending will mean more purchasing of consumer goods, which will better the economy.

The Kyo Central Bank dropped the interest rate to 1%, which is a massive decrease from last years 3.45% interest rate. The decrease in the interest rate has shocked the economy, with a boost in the stock market of around 3%. Some financial advisors have stated that this is a temporary boost however others have seen this as the first step in the reconstruction of Dankuk.

The Empress has recently enacted a 4.5 billion DRA stimulus package, dedicated to boosting domestic heavy industries. The stimulus package will be used to invest in heavy industries such as ship building, steel production, locomotive production, and others. The stimulus package was helped along by a 200 million LOD(1.47 billion DRA) interest free loan from Deltaria, which amounts to nearly 1/3 of the total budget of the stimulus package.

The stimulus package will target 13 industries, including ship construction, arms manufacturing, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, chemical production, locomotive production, automobile production, and tourism. The largest grant of money will go to the automobile production industry, which will be injected with 1.3 billion DRA. Then next larger grant will be the manufacturing, which will receive 700 million DRA. The lowest grant will go to the agricultural industry, which will receive only 10 million DRA.

The reasoning behind the sizes of the grants was explained by the Finance Minister Che Chi-Won. She stated that-
“The investment where based on economic priorities of the country. We wish to bring in manufacturing and heavy industries, whilst also building up the agricultural industry. L

The stimulus package aids, at maximum, three companies per industry. This has been heavily critiqued as enabling the creation of monopolies within the industries given a majority of the stimulus aid.

The Ministry of Infrastructure has recently announced a 8.9 billion infrastructure plan, intended to rebuild parts of the nation and expand the current infrastructure. The plan intends to construct around 1,207 kilometers worth of railways, to boost cross country transportation via freight train. The plan also intends over 1600 kilometers of new roads and highways, built as a way to increase mobility and economic transport. The plan also describes the objective of building five ports, three of which will be on the west coast and two of which will be in Gongmangdo.

The new railways will be built in the standard 1,435 mm track gauge system. They’ll extend from the northern town of Pico Blano to Seongtaek. The railways will be mainly used for freight trains, but can and will have passenger trains running on them. The new highway system will also follow the Pico Blano-Seongtaek route.

The 3 ports, that will be built outside of Gongmangdo, in the cities of Igleaia Mayor. Igleaia Mayor has only one port, however the government plans on making the city a major port city. The main issue with Igleaia Mayor is that it is considered a sub-arctic city, which means the ports will require regular ice patrols. However, with a direct link with trigunia and the northern hemisphere, this cost may be balanced out.

The Ministry of Infrastructure stayed that the plan will be completed by 4633 and will “bring about economic prosperity”.

The Ministry of Finance has recently announced that it will completely end taxation of industries classified as “heavy industries”. These heavy industries are classified as “industries that require large amounts of equipment to create a product”. This definition mostly applies to industries that have some usage for metals or the creation of machinery.

The Ministry of Finance recently made the announcement in response to the growing numbers of heavy industries springing up in Dankuk. Over 50 steel mills have opened up in the last year alone, giving a vast supply of materials for other developing heavy industries, like ship building and auto manufacturing.

The Ministry of Finance placed a 0% business tax on these companies and is considering taking yet another drastic step. The Ministry of Finance has also considered placing a 0% business tax on automobile and ship selling, which makes up a majority of the steel used in the heavy industries.

One of the largest steel producing companies, Seongtaek Steel Inc., has recently announced plans to build an additional 100 steel mills throughout Dankuk in the next 10 years. A representative of Seongtaek Steel told us that they where very happy about the taxation reforms and that they would be more than happy to expand even further due to the new tax policies.

Overall, the number of heavy industries has increased from around 195 heavy industries factories/facilities to 631 heavy industry factories/facilities. And with the loss of major industries along the southern borders, it seems as though Dankuk is headed towards a more heavy industry based economy.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recently announced the switching of diplomatic relations from the former government of Jakania (which is now in exile in Vanuku) to the Viceroyalty of Jakania, the government set up by the Deltarian invaders. The Ministry released a press statement concerning the switch in relations stating that-
“Whilst we do not agree with Deltaria’s invasion, we believe in a pragmatic stance and it is apparent that Jakania is now ruled by the Viceroyalty of Jakania. Denying this fact is denying reality. Whilst this fact may change, we shall recognize the Viceroyalty of Jakania.”

This forceful change of government in Jakania came as Deltaria invaded and took control of most of the country. This led to the former Jakania government being forced into exile in Vanuku. After the surrender of all Jakanian military assets, the Deltarian side set up a government called the Viceroyalty of Jakania.

A majority of nations in the world have condemned Deltaria’s actions and refuse to recognize the government in Jakania set up by Deltaria. However, due to the close relationship between Deltaria and Dankuk, the government in Gomangdo recognizes the government in Jakania.

Whilst no international condemnation against Dankuk has occurred yet, it is highly suspected that this will soon change due to the countries recognition of the new government in Jakania.

Salamdeul-ui-Cha Automobile Manufacturing has recently announced the creation of a new motor vehicle for domestic civilian use. This new car, called the Hwiparam I, costs 73,700 DRA (10,000 LOD), was designed to be both a reliable and cheap car. Salamdeul-ui-Cha stated that-
“The average urbanite or even rural worker required a reliable yet cheap vehicle. Currently, we see this market dominated by foreign or beat down cars. We wish to change this. Instead of giving cash to a foreign company, citizens of Dankuk shall be giving cash to a company that employs there fellow citizen and betters there own lives.”.

The Hwiparam I is a 4,155 mm long and 1,639 mm wide car, with a height of just over 1,425 mm. The car runs a 1 L FIRE 14 gasoline engine, with a 4 speed automatic transmission.

The car is already available for purchase at most local car retailors. As of the writing of this article, around 500 have already been sold.

The Minister of Finance has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to continued trade with Deltaria, in response to a threat by the Vanukuean delegate in the World Congress (which Dankuk has recently withdrawn from). The Vanukuean delegate stated that-
The ambassador from Dankuk must be deluded. To believe that Vanuku and many other nations will stand idly by whilst the 2nd Kyo Empire continues to supply the rogue Deltarian regime with war contraband, thus fuelling its murderous expansionist plans in Majatra, is simply not going to happen


The Vanukuean ambassador later went on to state that-
The most pragmatic approach would be for Dankuk and any other would-be ally of Deltaria to step away from this matter and understand that continuing to assist the Czar is tantamount to aiding and abetting Terra's most infamous war criminal and to propping up his nefarious nuclear ambitions.


In responses to these statements, the Minister of Finance held a international press conference, the first one in four years, to address the statements by the Vanukuean ambassador. In this press conference, Kai Schwender reaffirmed the government’s position of trading neutrality, in which Dankuk will trade with both sides and will not implement sanctions on any state currently involved in the Majatran War. He also reaffirmed the willingness of Dankuk to use military force to protect her trade ships from attack from either side. He stated that

If necessary, the Imperial Navy will use military force to defend all Dankuk vessels containing cargo bound for either belligerent side. We wish to remain neutral whilst trading and we will continue to do so, regardless of the views of the government of Vanuku. Whether they wish to punish us for being neutral is completely and totally there decision.


The Ministry of Defense and the Military Council of Generals have both unilaterally come out in support of the Ministry of Trade’s proposals to use military convoys to escort the cargo ships to Deltaria. In a statement concerning the number of ships that will be used, the Supreme Naval Commander stated that-
“We will use as many ships as we deem necessary to defend our cargo ships”.

The first cargo convoy is expect to head out in one month, escorted by one frigate and 4 other unknown categories of ships.

The Kyo Imperial Oil Company, the state run oil company which controls over 90% of all of Dankuk’s oil and natural gas, has recently announced they would begin cutting oil and natural gas shipments to Reunii and Elijang in response to recently imposed Kazulian sanctions. The Kazulian sanctions where implemented in response to the Dankuk governments statements that it would continue trading with Deltaria, who is currently engaged in a war with several other nations throughout Terra. The sanctions struck several other industries, but it hit oil and natural gas extremely hard, completely banning there imports into Kazulia.

In response, the Kyo Imperial Oil Company (KIOC) has announced that it would be cutting back shipments of oil and natural gas to Reunii and Elijang to quote on quote-
“ship said oil and natural gas to Deltaria and Sekowo, two of our only allies.”.

The KIOC announced that it would reroute 60% of all oil and natural gas headed to the south, which will be used by the north for domestic and foreign usage.

According to the Ministry of Energy and Power, this withdrawal of oil and natural gas will remain in effect until either the sanctions in Dankuk are lifted by Kazulia or if another agreement is reached concerning oil and natural gas for the southern regions.

In response to this, KIOC shares have dropped in price by around 2%, scaring some investors into thinking a financial collapse is in the horizon. However, the Ministry of Finance has reassured investors that oil and natural gas shares are safe and easily profitable.
