Union of Independent Regions

The Iron Republic of Opal!(I'm running on fumes so forgive mistakes or vagueness please)

The Iron Republic of Opal finds itself in its precarious situation after removing itself from isolation. Gakurai Mazak united the nation under the Iron Parties socialist ideologies leaving it partly isolated in the diplomatic stage. Now Gato Ishraki seeks to change the Opallin Republic, less socialism and more government controlled capitalism. He seeks to bring more jobs into the Opallin stage whether it be government or individual corporations.

To solve the issue of jobs Gato seeks investments into building multiple stable bridges between the islands of the nation. He's begun forming an engineering team to create bullet and cargo trains between the islands and the mainland and to create a significant amount of commercial bridges to increase transit between the islands and the mainland. One problem that is facing Opal in this idea is the blank space between the islands. To solve this Gato plans to build inter-mission islands where people can make stops for fuel, food or fun. This plan will also help keep more control over the islands instead of having to dedicate the navy into an emergency police force for the Republic. Now the police can travel in between and the military no longer has to rely on the navy or airforce for menile transport.

On the other hand Gato intends to completely focus the attention on economy. He intends to release the entire nation into a capitalist-like economy, however he is doing this slowly. He's opening up his cities to international trade and is planning on exporting mass amounts of cheap goods from the vast sweatshops that Opal totally doesn't have. The plan to expand its economy however will need inspirational propaganda and the control over all news in the Republic will make that feat easy. Emphasizing national purity, pride in struggle and making it seem the below average is the above average will bring them one-step closer to economoc growth.

Gato does not intend to be a benevolent person compared to his predecessor. He is tightening control over Opal and intends to bring it to a police state. He has completely banned support for democracy and fascism and is silencing critics of the government with lethal force if necessary. He has also begun expanding the military, focusing less on the navy and more on the airforce and army, balancing their budgets. He also feels threatened from the Chinese state just north and plans to militarized the border between them with air bases and frontline forces in case China desires to end the claim on their territories. This new militarization will protect their borders if attempt at diplomacy goes south.

New Friends:

Gato knows that he cannot be alone on the stage and has now taken interest in renewing relations with its neighbors, particularly the Soviet Union(Dumbledorius) and China(Huahsia). Gakurai has already supported the Soviet regime in the past but Gato intends to renew that support to gain merit on the world stage. With China however, he wants to keep them as friends rather than enemies in times of nuclear weapons and knows that the best prevention is diplomacy and negotiation. So therefore, Gato Ishraki extends his hand and has officially requested individual meetings be held between him and China, and him and the Soviet Union.
