Description[?]:
| In response to corrupt corporations being taxed higher and luxury goods being taxed at 50%, which will benefit blue collar workers and the lower class for many years to come and gradually overthrow the bourgeoisie in our nation, we are proposing a new budget, where government spending has been increased drastically. With increased spending on almost every sector of government, which will be used to improve existing infrastructure and public services, to implement new government projects which will ease the burden on lower class families (setting up clinics in rural areas, energy stations, water supply networks, railroads) and to expand on the progress that we have made. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
