Imperial Eagle wrote:Erie Canal reopened ahead of schedule following major expansion project

Though it was deemed unfeasible to upgrade the Erie Canal to Panama Canal standards, the Erie Canal has been upgraded to handle heavier traffic and will allow for more shipping to pass through to the Great Lakes. new systems and locks were installed in the course of the work and in some areas the canal has been expanded to allow for bigger cargo vessels. The project, which was to take a decade, was recently completed three years ahead of schedule and at a cost of 30 Billion dollars. The State of New York, which proposed the plan, will officially reopen the Erie Canal next week following a ceremony that will also have President Dawes in attendance. Once completed, the first ship through the canal will be a med weight bulk carrier on it's why to Toronto.

President Andrew Collins has congratulated the construction workers and the New York and United States Government on the expanding of the Erie Canal. This will expand both of our economies and expand shipping on the Great Lakes and between our two countries.

FEUSSR bonds see wins

LÜDA — The FEUSSR's bonds stood out as a haven last week as funds poured $671 million USD into exchange-traded funds tracking USP-denominated bonds, as bonds have largely escaped the tumult in the FEUSSR's markets.

Yields on the benchmark held firm at around 3.5%, with inflows worth $2.2 billion USD so far. With policymakers warning of more volatility in the future due to pressure on the heavy industry and real estate sectors due to new regulators, investors may find safety in the stable and sound debt market. Many have looked to the FEUSSR's bonds as a safe heaven now, as stable policies, yields, and growth make them less volatile compared to other sectors of the market.

The FEUSSR's sovereign notes are the third-best performer globally, thanks to the government’s successful economic rebound, which has inspired more confidence in the markets. The SSE Composite rose by 1.21% the past day. Overseas investors are also buying more of the FEUSSR's notes directly, with $27 billion USD worth of purchased bonds made last month, the most according to data going back to 2014. Sovereign securities accounted for almost 70% of the purchases.

Public Security Bureau Building, Panama City, New Columbia

Diego Rodrigues, one of the few Panamanian PPF officers to not be fired, rubbed his temples as a group of 8 other officers bickered and yelled. The aftermath of the Union's takeover was still limited in scope as most of the roles in city government will quickly filled by Army officers until elections took place. The sole exception to that though was the police force. Chief Santos fled from the city as fast as he could but was caught up in Colon trying to book a flight to Cuba and was never seen again.

"Likely taken by Turner and his merry band of cutthroats..." He muttered under his breath.

He had heard of the fate that befall the former mayor when the invasion began. Fat bastard didn't even have time to put away his c*ck before being dragged out by armed men in black tactical gear. Turner had given him a radio that allowed to listen in on all channels just what and who was being taken. The more corrupt officials taken up to D.C., others wil more or less clean records taken into custody for de-briefings and from what he was hearing right now...those debriefs were eventful. Finally having enough of the shouting match, mainly for the sake of his headache, he stood up and yelled

"WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT BACK DOWN GODDAMMIT!?"

The sudden shout of rage from a man who was known to be peaceful at times shocked the room and made even the largest among them slink back into their seat. Taking a breath, Diego began to speak

"It's clear we have our work cut out for us. So far, the Army troops are handling law enforcement and I dare say they are doing a better job than we ever did in the past. But before long, those same soldiers will not be here to babysit a city of 1.7 million and for that, we need to start hiring and training as many officers as we can. We of course will form the core of this new police force and more than likely have transfers from other places so as to prevent the city from going completely batsh*t insane. I want each and every last one of you to interview every new hire before training them personally. Anyone got a problem with that plan?"

Seeing no objections save a glare from an old rival of his, he handled out files

"These files have names of potential recruits who have shown interest. With the way the mail system is at the moment, there will be delays. If you have to, work with General Hawthorn to speed things up. Now get out and get to work."

The room soon emptied, leaving Rodriquez alone and looking out the office window and out over the park nearby. He sighed again before going to work on getting things back in proper order

The order includes: 470 new Chengdu J-10 aircraft, for a total cost of $ 13,084,800,000
(CNY 84.6 billion)
60 new CAIC Z-10 helicopters worth $ 17,000,000 per unit, for a total of $ 10,200,000,000. (CNY 66 billion).

For the army the following were ordered:

1400 CM-32 at a cost of $ 2 million per unit for a total of $ 2,800,000,000 (CNY 18 billion)

All M60A3 and M48A3 tanks will be completely overhauled and updated:

- 120 mm stabilized soft-barreled cannons / launchers

- Newly developed explosive reactive armor (ERA) protection, made with the best quality materials at the lowest price, making the MBT invincible to chemical ammunition such as HEAT (including HEATFS) and any type of missile that uses chemical fillers.
New vehicle crew protection systems:
- Spaced armor will be added between the combat compartment and the drivers compartment.
- We have minimized the risk of fatal driver injury by mixing spaced armor at high angles
- Instead of adding a wet ammo dump which could create a lot of complications, has a rather high price tag and is slowly losing its effectiveness, we have removed the ammo dump from the driver compartment which could lead to fatal outcomes for the entire tank and his crew, and we made a larger compartment in the ready-rack of the tanks and added anti-blast panels, protecting the crew from injury and possibly exterminated by the ammunition explosion.
- the commander received a missjle warning and laser blocking system that could alert him and the crew when a laser guided missile is fired at them or when a laser rangefinder is pointed in their direction, giving the crew more awareness of what is happening around them.
- the gunner also received a 7.76 mm small caliber machine gun turret operated inside the tank used for protection from helicopter attacks, they can be equipped with ammunition that explodes on impact.

The gunner and commander will also be minutes of latest generation thermal and night vision sights.

Furthermore, the ministry has announced that all M41 tanks will be withdrawn from service, except the 50 of the M41D version, which will be part of the reserve.
There are now 825 unused M41 tanks in the nation's military warehouses.
On request they can also be sold for $ 280,000 in the standard version, or for $ 1,200,000 in the M41D updated version.

Hainan Province plans to increase the number of green vehicles by 25,000 this year, as part of its efforts to build a national pilot zone for ecological conservation.
A plan recently released by the provincial government states that all new government buses and vehicles, including those to be replaced this year, will need to be new energy, with the exception of special purpose vehicles.
The plan also states that more than 80% of the taxis to be acquired or replaced this year will have to be electric.
Hainan plans to build 10,000 electric vehicle charging stations this year and continue to subsidize the private purchase of new-energy vehicles.
The province has promoted the use of clean energy vehicles, with the goal of completely eliminating sales of conventional fuel-powered vehicles by 2030.
According to the provincial department of economy and development, there were more than 64,000 new energy vehicles in Hainan at the end of 2020, one of the highest in the whole country.
In the future, agreements will be made with Volvo, a brand of the GEELY group which plans to completely eliminate the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

Donau-bundesreich

The Ostrava Accords

Following a lengthy meeting between Danubian Military and Political Leadership and representatives of the Galician Popular Front, an agreement has finally been made between the two parties as to the nature of the post-war situation in Galicia.

The Galician Popular Front has announced it will be working alongside the Danubian Military in the intervention and assisting with their efforts in taking down the Rogue Moraczewski Regime. Moraczewski is, if captured alive, to be put on trial in a Joint Session of Danubian and Galician Courts for crimes against humanity, democracy and the people of Galicia.

The Popular Frpnt will form a provisional civilian government with help from Danubian Representatives, which will be backed up and protected by a Danubian Military Administration personally lead by Chairman of the National Defence Commission, Peoples Marshall Leon Schwarz. This administration is to remain in place until Galicia can form a new republic under a new constitution, and decide their own destiny.

However, many expect that this new arrangement between Galicia and Danubia will lead to new stronger ties between the two nations, with some critics within the Galician Peoples Front and more vocally supporters of Moraczewski believing that the Danubian Military intends to turn Galicia into a puppet state that would surely be absorbed into Danubias growing state.

48 state owned enterprises to be privatized

Cairo - The Ministry Of Finance will streamline the public sector in FY2021-2022, and cut 48 state-owned enterprises. The government is planning to reduce the number of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to 73 from 119 in FY2021-2022 through privatization, mergers or liquidations as it looks to streamline the sector.

Egypt’s public sector has long been criticized as overstaffed and inefficient, and officials have long struggled to push the firms towards profitability. All the cut SOE's are ones that have not made profit through the last fiscal year.

The streamlining of the public sector is one of the important aspects of the New Economic Plan which was passed in the first Revolutionary Command Council Conference. The new Economic Plan also aims to grow the long stagnant private sector as Egypt hopes to improve it's economic situation and bring more revenue to cover for the public deficit.

BREAKING NEWS

Reports coming in that in the last hour there has been a shooting on the grounds of the Princely Palace in Baryshevo, the residence of the Princely Family of Romanovskaya. We understand a lone gunman made his way to the security gate of the palace where he shot two Imperial Guards. The shooter then breached the security gate but was apprehended by another group of guards who had rushed to the scene. The guards neutralised the threat although it is understood the shooter was captured alive, abeit in a critical condition.

Sadly we must report that one of the guards who was shot was pronounced dead at the scene. Private Nikita Vasilievich Bogoslovsky was just 26 years old and had joined the Imperial Guard last year. Another guard who has not been named remains in a critical condition and has been taken to the Prince Vasili of Romanovskaya hospital in Vyborg. A spokesperson for the Princely Family has stated that the family are safe but are shaken by events today. They added that the Princely family sends their deepest condolonces to the family of Private Bogoslovsky.

The police have already begun their investigations into the attack, believing that the individual in question belongs to a fringe marxist orginisation calling itself the "National Liberation Front of the Karelian Isthmus (NLFKI)". A police spokesperson said that while they believe further attacks are unlikely, they will be increasing security at key government locations over the coming weeks while they conduct their investigations.

Antitrust fines strike companies for improper pricing practices

SHENCHENG — The Republican Censorate has fined Pinduoduo and Meituan, two online food sellers which have online grocery shopping services, for engaging in improper pricing practices that threatened small, local businesses in farmers' and communal markets.

The two platforms had introduced features that allowed consumers to communally purchase food items in bulk, which provides them with sizeable discounts. Unfortunately, this also means that food items are sold at prices well below that from local purveyors, harming local businesses and undercutting competition in the market. The fines were valued at $2 million USP for both platforms, and the Department of State Resources has filed an injunction, which would require the 2 companies to report all their discounts to the DSR for authorisation. This is to ensure that no antitrust regulations are violated. The 2 companies have said they received the notice of the fines, and would respond appropriately to comply with official regulations.

This is already the second time that Meituan has come under fire by the government, following a recent incident where the company was given a dressing down for promoting the use of illegal traffic lanes by setting tight delivery times. To ensure future compliance, the Shencheng city authorities have purchased over 50,000 shares in the company, thereby granting it a seat on the company's Board of Directors, permitting authorities to directly step in if the need ever arises.

Dzierzynski gazed through the ashes of the house. His gaze fixated on the burned remains of a skull. He called over to the forensic specialists of the MfS and informed them of the Skull. Until now, 5 human remains where fished from the ashes, and it was unknown if the Hacker was among them. For all he knew, all of them could be from his Unit. Although he couldn't catch the Hacker, he managed to save the Hackers daughter from the burning House. For now, she was in the hospital, but as soon as he could, Dzierzynski would interrogate her if he would have enough time to do so. This operation was an absolute disaster. It was sure that Dzierzynski's enemies would use it to question if he is still mentally and physically able to work for the Ministry for State Security. He would need to act swiftly to finish this and the other case and deter his enemies. The ringing of his phone interrupted Dzierzynski's thoughts. He went to a nearby field and picked up.

Thus far, targeted strikes on air, radar, anti air, various depots and government buildings have been successful.

1 HAI Dory had been shot down but it was detonated remotely to preserve technological intelligence.

5,780 targets have been confirmed to be KIA with another possible 7,000 injured. Civilian casualties are minimal between 200-400.

Construction project on Barro Colorado Island slowed, will be folded into larger urban projects

The planned city building built in and around Lake Gatun has had it's funding slashed as those funds will be used to clean up and expand Panama City to the south but sources close to the work projects have stated that work will go on at a slower pace and be folded into the greater urban projects being launched in Panama City proper. Instead of being a the Territorial Capital, the city project on Barro Colorado Island will instead be home to resorts, shopping and other commercial projects that will invite investments into the region and be tied to the overall government structure of Panama City. As a result of the new plan, the project will likely be completed within the next decade or more as work in Panama City takes precedence.
