The released were given the equivalent salary for their long time of slavery, what will take its toll on the governmental budget for the next 2 years. Some of the most desperate members of our society have already stated their interest in spending some time in the labour camps, provided they are given the same treatment afterwards. The Emperor did not voice his opinion on such suggestion.
