Alexander Kazansky, Advice on Economical Measures

Given my position as the former Arch Treasurer of Greater Prussia, I see it as my duty to recommend certain measures that will, in my opinion, improve the economic standing of the Empire.

1.Trade: As Jefferson put it, ‘Free trade with all nations, entangling alliances with none’. It is necessary to put Greater Prussian diplomats on the job of negotiating free trade agreements with as many nations outside the Empire as possible. ABF officials are already doing that now.

2.Independence from Oil: Hemp, aka Cannabis Sativa, is not only a drug. It is also the most versatile plant in the world, bar none. It can be used to make clothes, paper, building materals, and even fuel. Hemp-based fuel oil and biodiesel can replace diesel fuel without modification to existing diesel engines. It is projected that hemp can replace up to 98% of the planet’s dependence on fossil fuel.

3.Nuclear Power: Pebbled nuclear reactors are a safe, cheap and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel power. We recomment that the empire also consider legalizing the private ownership of nuclear reactors. If Red China did that, surely the Empire will be sufficiently enlightened to do so.

4.Deregulation: Laws such as urban zoning prevent poor people from starting their own business and getting into the wealth production circle. I suggest that Empire members repeal such laws and let the market handle it. Further, I suggest that anti-trust laws be repealed, since they are nothing but a tool in the hands of the corporation du jour against it’s competitor and fail to achieve their desired goal.

5.Economic Stability:I recommend that Empire nations switch to gold or gold-backed currency, to ensure economical stability. We also suggest that the governments of Empire nations encourage the development of private currencies such as the Liberty Dollar or E-Gold, to the same end.

From: The Weyrean Board of Estimates
To: Allaneans for a Better Future
Subject: Relief Funds

As you are undoubtedly aware, the Kingdom of Weyr has given your organization/nation/entity a loan of eighty billion (80,000,000,000) Universal Standard Dollars. The interest-free period of that loan is now coming to an end, as per agreement that the said period lasts thirty (30) standard Terran years from the issue of those loans.

-----
OOC: Thirty years to repay without interest the UD$80billion given. I have no idea how much time has passed in your time scale since the loan was issued....so it's your choice......
-----

We request that you repay the said loans, or be charged a yearly rate of 2%, adjusted annually. Failure to repay the loan within one hundred years of its issue may lead to a forcible extraction of moneys and resources equal in value to the loan, the accumulated interest, and the cost of extracting those resources.

-----
OOC: We'll charge you interest for another seventy years and then forcibly extract payment from you, as long as no-one objects.
-----

Sincerely,
The Weyrean Board of Estimates

We are using a one-day/one month scale.
