Absolute Capitalism Spurs Economy

New Trade Deals Avert War Time Budget Declines

FEDALA, Second Empire of the Golden Throne - After the fear of recession due to the atrocious impact of the Weigari and Sarcanzan rebellions, as well as the Havenite destruction of southern Ruska, there has been a brief sigh of relief as news of recent political and trade deals foreshadow signs of a spurt in economic growth. This has returned some foreign trust to the Macabee market, plagued by a lack of commitment from foreign industry, and a shutting of doors after the sudden attempt to export the principles of absolute capitalism. Regardless, there has been a sudden 'clearing of the skies', and budget figures for the next year are not expected to be so glum. The sheer amount of new industry and merchant relationships evolving are thought to be enough to provide what can be regarded as an economic revolution in the Empire. In fact, the new deals and promises should be enough to offset the losses of the war for a short while, and promote enough growth to pay off the rebuilding of war torn areas of the Empire, including southern Ruska, Weigar and Sarcanza. In light of this, the Empire is also attempting to locate other world leaders to expand trade relations with them as well.

Nations that have opened their mercantilist doors to the Empire included Casari and Spruitland, while trade overtures between the Empire and Guffingford, Kriergorgrad, Hailandkill have only increased. With the recent decision of Emperor Fedor I to clearly state his allegiance to Hailandkill in the Torontian debacle trade is also expected to pick up with McKagan and Halberdgardia, as well as other Saharistan War Coalition Nations, as a sort of pay off for the words of support issued to the international community. In fact, this rise in trade is so apparent that the open ports of Macabea City, Beda Fromm and Corza, have never seen so much activity since the beginning of the war. It is thought that should the War of Golden Succession end soon, the conclusions will only be a subsequent epic growth in the nation's economy. Something that is quite ironic for the circumstances.

There is also much speculation of trade in the colonies, especially with the establishment of colonial settlements north of Tordesillas [Macabee territory in the Hogsweatian colonies]. However, there are also indications that events have turned quite hot in the past days, especially with growing tensions between Tordesillas and New Xharnia for control over the channel that seperates the two. The incorporation of the Jagadan colony, after the collapse of the Jagadan government under pressure of a failing war with the Empire, has only serve to fire the superiority complex the Empire has held over their particular area of the colonies. Things look especially bleak as Sarzonian personnel have been acting up along the border of Doomingsland and the Voltarum, in the colonies, making some skeptics believe that the triumvirate will be forced to act in accordance with Woodstock Pact actions.

Speculation of war set aside, the economic boom is a suprise to all. Even with the large exports of Kriegzimmer, one of the largest conglomerates in the world, and the recent aquisition of overseas territory for Kriegzimmer factories, one would think that the war would offset any economic success. Fortunately, that has proved incorrect so far, although many doubt that this success will hold up for long. But, alas, it has been a don from God, especially with news of a failed friendly football [soccer] match against Casari in Choybalsan, ending in a one to zero match. All the while, the skies continue to flash with the sporadic explosions of artillery shells that have marked the length of the War of Golden Succession. Some good news can come as a miracle to those who have suffered in gloom for a long while.
