Overview

During the third quarter of 2011, the Czardaian economy experienced remarkable growth. Despite the increase in taxes, under Silver Skyian control the arms manufacturing, uranium mining, and oil production industries reported record increases. Unemployment dropped to under 5% for the first time in several hundred years (down from a record high of 37.86% after the Imperial Galactican War of 2002). However, the largest industries are still Book Publishing and Gambling.

The nazarin is deflating, down to N£1.6866 = $1 USD from N£22.3536 = $1. In addition, overall standards of living have increased, with the nation's GDP per capita reaching nearly $20,000 USD. The government (or lack thereof) policies of giving tax breaks to those who work has prompted record turnouts in jobs, with nearly 65% of those employed turning up more than three times a week to work.

In addition, while the frequency of protests has decreased slightly, Czardas still has excessive civil, social, and political freedoms, although government officials and citizens alike have complained that the Czardaian political process has become much more restrictive and oppressive in recent years (with the drop in the world ranking for political freedoms from 73rd to a shocking 566th, out of nearly 115,000 nations).

Overall, despite minor setbacks and the possibility of war, the Czardaian economy is growing stronger daily, and may well rank among the best by the 4th quarter. Reports state that nearly 100,000 new jobs have been created this quarter alone, and more than 2,000,000 people convinced to return to their old jobs.

In addition, economic growth is not expected to be linked to decreases in the quality of the environment, as Czardas still spends nearly $6 trillion a year on keeping the environment clean and healthy...

[At this point the report breaks off, as apparently the window of the room where the Minister of Finance was working on it was broken by an angry Socialist protestor with a brick, who took over the office of government for several days before being quietly removed by the existing Governing Council. The rest of the report—going into a good deal more detail—was marked as classified and shared only among top treasury officials.]
