After two years of recession following the passage of the Economic Privatization Act, which gave all nonessential Xanthalian business to private intrests, the Triumvirate has repealed the act with the support of the Council and the Ministry of Economics. With all business in government hands once again, the economy has taken a small surge already, and hopes are high for a continued upturn.

The Zeronian government support's Xanthal's decision to keep business under the protective wing of the government. We do not know your circumstances precisely, but we are positive that this course of action was taken in good judgement. It has been in our experience that a successful economy, irrespective of the government's stance on the political scale, can be achieved only with good planning. For the past 30 years, Zeronia has struggled with an imploded economy, but with diligent planning, our GDP increased fifty-fold in under eight years.

We congratulate the government of Xanthal for taking responsibility for its economy, and we wish many prosperous years for the Xanthalian people.

We think it important to respect every nation for what it is, and to respect that different political, economic, and civil guidelines work best for different nations. We may not agree with capitalism but we do not begrudge other nations the right to practice it, nor do we have any automatic rivalry with such nations. We are alway encouraged, however, to see another successful socialist nation. The EPA was originally intended to give more freedoms and a greater work ethic to the people. It failed in that task, and so it has been done away with. It has become clear that there are only two roads that we may successfully take: Private or public. As this government and its people refuse to live in a nation where people are forced to starve in the streets because of an unfair and materialistic system, our decision is clear. What was not achieved by the Economic Privatization Act has been achieved by the Variable Wage put in place by Dictator Zelda Zabertini, who gave her power to this Triumvirate. Our newest experiment may have been a failure, but the Triumvirate will continue working with the Ministry of Economics and the other ministries to continually improve both the freedoms and the standard of living for all Xanthalian citizens.
