3132 STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS
By President Yardley Barin
Democratic Republic of Aloria
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Alorians and members of the international community, good day. I am here today to provide a rundown of the current state of the Democratic Republic of Aloria.
The year 3131 was arguably our most productive year in the national and international scale. Not only did we successfully reform the nation's tax rates, but we also strengthened our position as a peace-loving nation in Terra.
Today, Alorians need not suffer too much on the income tax. In the past, Alorians would have to pay up to 68 percent for income taxes. Now, they only have to pay up to 35 percent for income taxes. Also, we have laid out an income tax structure that features both a reasonable income bracket and government revenue that has not dramatically decreased from the previous income tax structure. We said that we will have fiscal reform and I am proud to say that we did it. At this point, we will continue our battle for fiscal reform and responsibility in the government.
On the past year as well, we have also clarified our stance on peace for Aloria. We have made it clear that biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons will only be used as a last resort, and we are studying a potential proposal to further end the utilization of such weapons. Apart from that, we have also withdrawn our membership from the League of Nuclear Nations, thus liberating our nation in our goal to achieve genuine peace for this nation.
Also, we must not forget our ongoing efforts to have a treaty of friendship with our neighboring nation Kirlawa. The past year saw a ratification from the Alorian Parliament. We hope for a similar ratification from the Kirlawan General Assembly. With this, we hope to continue the spirit of peace and goodwill that we share with Kirlawa.
It was indeed an eventful year, and I sincerely hope that the next 20 months would continue to be productive before I leave the Presidency. With this, I announce to all of you that I shall not seek reelection for the Presidency in the upcoming August 3133 elections. It is a tough decision, but I believe that it is time for me to give way to a new individual to ascend into the Presidential throne.
While we await that day, I will continue to work hard for Aloria so that I can leave to you a legacy of good governance.
Thank you for your time and long live Aloria.Signed,
the Government of the Democratic Republic of Aloria
