Prime Minister Qiang Resigns from Office, Zhong Zuafeng is the New Prime Minister
Governement to begin kickstart the Yingdalan Economy - Zhang Zuafeng, PM

January 25, 5213 - Tian'an - Prime Minister Liang Qiang tendered his resignation and that of his government after years of serving the state during the difficult times of reforming the imperial institutions that created the Fànrông Democracy, during his farewell speech, he said: "I served Yingdala as best as I could, with the new political system bringing stability to the country, I think my time to step out of the limelight has come, I leave Yingdala in the good hands of the new Prime Minister Zuafeng, who is coming to be elected leader of the Liberal Party after my resignation, after working side by side for all his years, I think his experience in economics is the thing that Yingdala lacks during these troubled times. A new leader of the Liberal party, Zhong Zuafeng, was elected as leader, being part of the Old Liberals, but sticking strictly to realistic liberalism. He comes with the intuition to change everything in the political system, without contesting the Fànrông Democracy, but by starting to form a new government, made up of technocrats and not philosophers. After his appointment, the new PM announced to reporters and onlookers a speech, saying, "Yingdala's age of recession and economic stagnation is over, my government and I will work hard to create the economic competitiveness that Yingdala needs, the previous government had its feet in the sand because of the constitutional reforms, we regret it, but this government will create the spearhead for the recovery and then the development of the economy of Yingdala."

The Economic
Governement Annouced Economic Reforms, Bank of Yingdala to be keeped
February 5213


The Main Headquarters of the Bank of Yingdala

Tian'an, Yingdala: Prime Minister Zueliang announced today that he intends to propose to the House of Representatives and the House of Peers, he announced, upon taking office, a profound reform of the economy, he announced several measures in a speech that we decided to broadcast, during this speech, he announced that:

My government has promised that it will look into economic issues, I would like to announce four priority development points for Yingdala, these four points are: agriculture, new technologies, financial sector and industrial sector. Yingdala is a country that has experienced too much neglect by the previous governments that preceded us.These governments could not reorganize the economic situation of Yingdala, while it was disastrous, the situation is such that my government will be forced to put in place measures of budgetary rigor and to increase taxes to the tune of 1.5% to ensure a budgetary surplus which will then be used to increase the budget of certain ministries which need it, this speech will be divided into three parts, a part where I will talk about the financial policies of the government, another where I will talk about the economic policies of the government and the last where I will talk about the projects that will be undertaken and objectives set by this government.

On the first point, the government will undertake a vast fiscal transformation, the government will present a fiscal austerity budget, with budget cuts, about 100 billion will be cut from the budget, and the government will increase by about 3%, taxes luxury and on non-luxury products and will increase all taxes by 5% for all parentheses and a 9% increase in corporate tax. This tax increase will bring 295,615,787,249 INS to the state. Together with increases in other taxes, this would bring about 700,000,000,000 INS to the state, according to our estimates.

On the second point, my government will seek to restore the Bank of Yingdala, which was the National Bank before its abolition by the Qiang government, which wanted to introduce ultra-liberal policies in the economy, but I think we must keep an institution capable of regulating banks and markets without government intervention, the government will only be able to appoint the head of the Central Bank and its executive board, but apart from that, the Bank will be completely independent of the Government, projects that will develop industries, the service sector, the agriculture sector, the technological sector and the transport sector, several plans which will be explained later in the third part of this speech and then explained in more detail by the Minister of Finance.

For the third part, I would like to announce several plans that will be used for economic recovery, three of which will soon be implemented, the Business Help Plan, which will be implemented through the Business Help Act, the National Infrastructure Renovation Act, which will create an agency which will be dedicated to the implementation of the Yingdalan Infrastructure Rescue Plan, this agency will be the Imperial Yingdalan Infrastructure Agency and the last planned plan will be an energy plan, the contours of which have not yet been decided for the moment.

Thank you.

After the announcements of the Prime Minister, various information circulated on the next announcements of the Minister of Finance, many speculated that he was going to announce all the other projects and not talk about the others, or the reverse. The Ministry of Finance announced, via a press release, that two press conferences will be held 4 days apart, on June 8 and 12, 5213, the Minister will announce the other projects and policies of the government. The estimated cost will be around 2 trillion INS, according to some concurring information, but for economists, the price is more likely to be around 1.5 trillion INS, spread over several years. Little information has come out of the government regarding any progress in the projects. It looks like Yingdala is going to have to hold his breath to find out the rest.

The financing project for small and medium-sized enterprises, the infrastructure renovation project and the energy project defended by our government, today I come to talk to you about the second project, the one on the strengthening of our infrastructure, before starting the work. redevelopment, an imperial service will be created to assess the state of our roads, bridges, railways and other infrastructure, this new agency will be called the Imperial Infrastructure Agency and will be under the joint supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. This agency will seek to draw up a plan and financial estimates for the project. The project will be done after the publication of the IIA estimates. The agency will be founded via The Imperial Infrastructure Act, which will be put to a vote soon. The government will appoint someone who will have the heavy responsibility of setting up a project that could span many years.

The Imperial Infrastructure Act which will be put to a vote soon, will be an implementation of a government agency to "test the waters" for the future infrastructure renovation plan, according to some estimates, between 20 and 45% of the infrastructures have need renovation, some of which will take longer than others, the cost is estimated between 800 and 1,000 billion INS. Moreover, according to many experts on infrastructure and the economy, Yingdala lacks a lot of infrastructure, which will have to be compensated for, via another plan, this one which will be used to build new infrastructure, there is also the question ownership of the new infrastructures, will they be privatized or will they remain public? According to numerous opinion polls, the Yindgalans would be very divided on the question, approximately 30% of the people questioned say they are in favor of a continuation of public infrastructure, 25% say they are in favor of a complete privatization of the network and 45% say they are in favor to an opening of part of the infrastructures to the private sector, but also to the State keeping a hand in certain infrastructures.

January 5214


The Legislative Yuan Building in Tian'an

Tian'an, Yingdala: A big win for the government unfolded today, Finance Minister Luoyang's tax plan passed both houses of the Yuan, the plan was criticized by far-right activists who accused the government of having "forsaken the people, for a few large fortunes", Prime Minister Zueliang congratulated himself by declaring:

The government will finally be able to start doing something with this budget surplus, we will soon be investing in the economy.

The tax plan is an increase in all branches of taxes by 3%, which will give the State approximately 294,920,496,708 more INS. The business tax has increased by about 9%, an increase of 20,302,160,257 INS more for the State, the taxes on luxury and non-luxury products have been increased by 3%, increasing from 17 to 20% and from 7 to 10% respectively, the funds that the State will collect in addition following this increase is 82,715,562,656 INS, as a result of this levying of taxes, the government has henceforth earned 397,938,219,621 INS. What a real boon for the government which has just, at the same time drastically reduced the government budget, the PM immediately declared that funds will be allocated to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to be able to finance the Imperial Infrastructure Agency (IIA).

The passage of this tax plan is celebrated by the liberals, but much reaction has been negative on the subject, the head of the organization Dìguó fùxīng (Imperial Revival), an organization favorable to a greater role for the monarchy in the affairs internals, Jiang Wing, said:

The passage of this anti-popular tax plan is a betrayal for the people of Yingdala, who work body and soul every day to be able to pay their taxes, now they will have to pay more, but not earn more? It is a defeat for us, but we will continue to defend the people of Yingdala against the excesses of this government.

The new pet peeve of the government will be that of appointing the head of the Imperial Infrastructure Agency, who will have to garner enough votes from the Legislative Yuan and have confirmation from Empress Fànrông.

The Imperial Infrastructure Act Passes, Song Ningbo nominated as the head of the IIA.
"Objectif Two Years for a report", for New IIA Director, Song Ningbo
January 5214

Victory for the Zueliang government, the bill concerning the foundation of the Imperial Infrastructure Agency or 帝国基础设施局 (Dìguó jīchu shèshī jú) was passed by the majority of the House of Representatives and the majority of the House of Peers, the vote was incredibly tense in the House of Peers where the bill passed by just one vote (126 vs. 124). The government has decided to appoint Song Ningbo, former infrastructure minister and infrastructure expert. His nomination comes as no surprise, as several warning signs of his nomination had leaked to the press.

The new head of the Imperial Infrastructure Agency, Song Ningbo, spoke after his appointment:

Good,
I've just been appointed director of the Imperial Infrastructure Agency, an agency that has recruited approximately 13,000 officers to audit the state of our country's infrastructure. The Agency has an objective to give a report on the state of the infrastructures and our plan to fix the state of many of them in 2 years.
Thank you.

The Agency has a budget of about 50 million INS, a very large budget, so many wonder if this agency will be dissolved when its mission is completed or will it continue to supervise the renovation works.

Preliminary report on the state of infrastructure and resources of Yingdala unveiled
July 5214

Two preliminary reports on the state of Yingdala's infrastructure have been revealed by the Imperial Infrastructure Agency, these two reports are rather encouraging, expressing that only 25% of the road infrastructure would need a complete renovation, on the sector of the rail infrastructure, the figures are less alarming, with only 10% of the national rail network to be renovated, on other infrastructures, such as airports, bridges, ports or electrical installations, the figures are rather optimistic, with 18% of airports requiring renovation, 14% of the bridges, 4% of the bridges, but these are minor renovations, but 45% of the electrical installations, having been recorded as being defective for a few years, the report recommends more replacements of its industries and these installation by new.

The report also suggested that the government could transform the country's infrastructure renovation plan, such as a plan to build new infrastructure, such as the capital's incessant demand, Tian'an, to have a new subway built. , such as various cities, such as Hazhou, Kaizhou or Longmen, which would require the release of fairly substantial federal funds, other cities would like to receive funds to start reshaping their city, creating parks, new housing, it is recommended to create new infrastructures to stimulate the economy and bring down the unemployment rate, it is also recommended, at this stage, to start preparing a total recovery plan with the IRPA report, which arrived the same day as this one. this.

This report, oriented on the resources that Yingdala has, is not very vague, more direct, directly saying the three resources that Yingdala resorges, uranium, helium and copper, only some information was given on these resources, Yingdala having a significant amount of uranium, a medium amount of helium and a rather low amount of copper. This information is very depleting for the government and companies, because these resources are very unprofitable in the long term and the government is beginning to think that to ensure long-term energy stability, it would be necessary to start transforming the entire energy park of Yingdala with renewable energy.

Some have pushed to build new nuclear power plants, but the cost of maintenance, construction and labor could outweigh the long-term benefits, and the risk of a nuclear accident that could affect the population is very present in the government heads, which caused this solution to be set aside by the government, preferring the safer solution of a transition to green energy.

The Government could stop ultra-liberal policies, start moderate economic policies, by creating the Imperial Corporations
July 5215

It would appear, with major developments in recent months, that Prime Minister Zueliang's government has orchestrated a major shift in its economic policy. According to our information, the government will seek, not to create a total market economy, without state interference, but with the recent elections having boosted the New Liberals minority. The government decided to seek a common front to keep the Liberal Party united and intact.

The new government program would aim to introduce "Imperial Corporations", public companies, run by the state, being majority shareholders, and created to control strategic sectors, such as resources, infrastructure, transport, health and others. Some government agencies such as the Imperial Resources Prospecting Agency or the Imperial Infrastructure Agency could see their powers extended and could be transformed, not into a temporary government agency, but into an imperial company or an agency specializing in a wide area.

This sudden change in policy would come from the disappointing results of the Old Liberals in the election, and the massive push of the Young Liberals, and so to avoid an internal split in the party, a position to weigh both the Old and the Young Liberals was adopted by the government. Finance Minister Lian Luoyang will hold a press conference in the coming weeks to address rumors of government policy changes.

Luoyang announces reforms and a change of course in the government's economic policy.
The current economic and political situation is not suitable for ultra-liberal economic reform, said Finance Minister Luoyang.
February 5215

The government's response to rumors of a possible change in government policy on the economy was voiced in a press conference by Finance Minister Lian Luoyang, who recently voiced the government's position during a weekly conference he said. is expressed, saying:

On the rumors about a possible review or modification of the government's economic policy, I can confirm the fact that the government decided, during the last council of ministers, to change the economic policy decided by Prime Minister Zueliang, during his coming to power. This amendment was put to the vote by the Prime Minister himself, having noticed that the economic situation of Yingdala did not allow for large ultra-liberal projects, the fact is that the government will have to intervene in the economy and have a hand in the latter, via the Imperial Corporations, a point which will be explained later in this press conference. Therefore, the government will seek, through the modified policy, to reassure the two branches of the Liberal Party, which have differences on economic policy to make.

In terms of Imperial Corporations, these are companies that will be 50 + 1% owned by the State, then the 49% may be owned by private, national or international funds, but for foreign investors, a limit of 10% will be set up as a ceiling for foreign investments. The new governmental doctrine being that of a competition-cooperation between the private and the public. These companies will be set up for Television via YCTV (Yingdala Central Television), Radio via YCRN (Yingdalan Central Radio Network), these two companies will be under the authority of the same group, the Yingdalan National Radio-Television Network (YNRTN) , other sectors will have a public enterprise, such as the transport sector, with the Trains having the Yingdalan Railway Company (YRC), the Buses and the urban transport having the Yingdalan Urban Transport Company (YUC), the second is a group orchestrating the the entire urban network owned by the State, the lines being owned by local companies. Several other companies should move to a public-private competition, but this will be the subject of a second press conference which will take place very soon.

A big change has taken place, the government has confirmed rumors that it has changed its policy towards a competition between public and private, marking a big change for this normally very liberal government.

The Imperial Prospecting Resources Agency is being reformed by the Government.
February 5217

Yingdala has a problem, and this problem lies in the natural resources that Yingdala has, being an island, we do not have many natural resources, but the fact that we have no gas and oil automatically puts us in a situation of weakness by -compared to other powers on the planet, we are, of course, not the only country to suffer from this problem, but this problem has disadvantaged us for decades, preventing us from being considered as great powers in their own right. With the slow economic recovery of Yingdala, the government has sought to find a solution to this problem which is becoming more and more cumbersome.

The solution came from Ging Zhongwu, a renowned politician and economist, he proposed that the Imperial Resources Prospecting Agency, which was originally an agency responsible for seeking the resources that are in the Empire, into two separate agencies, the Imperial Gas Company (IGC) and the Imperial Petrolum Compnay (IPC), 'one being in charge of gathering and trading gas to Yingdala at an affordable price and the other being in charge of looking for gas in countries deemed "friendly" and trade oil with them at an affordable price.

This plan pleased the government, which began work on Bill L-9, undertaking the reform and abolition of the Imperial Resources Prospecting Agency and the formation of the Imperial Gas Company and the Imperial Petrolum Company, these two companies are an asset in the government's amanche, being considered "vital" to the development of Yingdala's foreign trade and Foreign Minister Ynag Gigguang's new doctrine, called the "Gigguang Doctrine", which seeks to develop the diplomatic position of Yingdala, via financial means, through development aid, and via military means, via interventions during armed conflicts, as a belligerent or as a mediator.

This risky position on the part of the government could weaken its already vulnerable position, several opponents accuse the government of "ruining" the people, by creating more and more taxes.

May 5217

The level of Yingdala's defense is considered "average" by editorial writers and international defense journals. Which is a good level, yes, but for Yingdala it's more of an embarrassment, being used to being considered a very good army and navy. To check the state of our army, the government, through the voice of the Minister of Defense, announced that military exercises would take place during this month, whether for the navy, the army or the air force.

These military exercises will take place in Mingbo Bay, with three teams, the blue team, the yellow team and the red team.
