Today a whole new administration has been installed The Iron Empire of Guerrillistan. A radical shift in policies has taken place. The old farms and small factories will be replaced by gigantic industrial compounds and cities will be expanded. The police is now incorporated into the army, as well as the fire departments and medical services. Guerrillistan will also start adopting a strong free market way of rules and regulations without harming the enviroment too much.
The priorities are:

Powering up the economy
Attracting more business
Industrialization
Military Expansion
Nuclear, chemical and biological weapon programmes to be started

The Guerrillistan armed forces will receive a 5% boost too. 10% of the total budget goes to the military now which means 7% of the total Guerrillistani population can be called for duty at any time. Trade with our closest allies the members of the Fruit Islands will be upped with roughly 120%. The previous economic sanctions on Credonia and Austar Union remain in place.

The enriched uranium shall be imported from Huzen Hagen, the chemical and biological bases are going to be supplied by Holy panooly. We ensure all nations that these so called 'WMD' will only be used as a last resort.

The idustrialization has already started and what it seems is a scientific revolution is underway. The new companies have brought something previously unknown to Guerrillistan: technology!

At this time we have no interest in space tech weapons. Our economy is still quite weak and can't take much pounding. We are pushing the limit with our money reserves atm so we cant afford it now.

OOC: Err.. we ain't space tech, we modern tech and our aircraft range from refurbished 60's to bang-up-to-the-minute aircraft that are either refurbs or licence built versions of Soviet craft.

i call those things space tech... thats the satellite and spaceshuttle stuff while future nations are future tech

never mind, i dont need it anyway.

OOC: OK.. whatever.. we don't even have a space program... the most advanced thing we have is a fighter based on the Sukhoi S-37 prototype and the MiG-35 protype, also a stealth bomber based on the T160 prototype... Also these are RL and def not space tech! Anyhow.. I think I'll get me coat..

ooc when i have a frightening economy im going to start thinking about an arsenal of space weaponry. i'm rebuilding my economy from reasonable so...

The Republic of Ozymandias IV applauds this news and wishes Guerrillistan and its people future success in joining the ranks of the industrialized nations of NS.

Should your military require techinical assistance, please feel free to contact SecDef Ayn IX through our embassy.

First off, let me applaud your economical push forward, and assure you that Shaunonia supports Guerrillistan's efforts to be brought into the 21st century.

As you may or may not know, Shaunonian Arms are of the highest quality, so feel free to give one of our brilliant R&D men a call for any technical assistance you may need.

As international arms dealers, we appreciate those countries who realize that their nation's military should never take a back seat to lesser issues such as social welfare.

Good luck in your affairs.
