The markets jumped several points to day in response to the news that congress has approved the construction of the republic’s first man made island – dubbed Isle ex Machina or IXM for short. Galene – a nation made of several small islands – the largest being slightly bigger than Sicily – will construct this island to alleviate its growing concerns of population growth. Earlier today in his speech the Consul stated
“The Republic is pleasant. Rolling fields of wheat, little to no pollution, vineyards, well maintained harbours, mass transit, and inter-island infrastructure that is considerate to the needs of the people both economically and aesthetically. At the same time industrial infrastructure needs to grow in order for us to keep pace with our trading partners. Often nations come to a point in their development where they need to decide whether they want to compete in the global market or fall behind technologically in favour of maintaining their unique and indigenous mannerisms. It is my hope, and now congress agrees, that this construction project will remove the need for such a decision. New land; land without annexation or expansion. We will use this island to build cities as good as or better than the world’s leading examples. We will possess the industry required to stay competitive but at the same time the family farm will be preserved.”
Also ear marked in this infrastructure project is the 5% flat required to pay for such an ambitious project. Expected to continue for almost 30 years at 5% of the current government budget nearly 101mmn billion, or $105 billion, this project will quite literally cost the government trillions. This means people can expect to see somewhere between 2.5 – 3 percent of their government services being clawed back, with the difference being made up in new taxes.
When completed IXM will be almost four thousand square kilometers, making it one of the larger islands in the western Mediterranean. The island will boast perfect harbours, break waters, and a series of towers on its southern edge to protect it from the winds moving up from Africa. The island itself will consist of a superstructure of carbon nano-tubules and cement. Rather than constructing the ‘floating’ island this one will quite literally rise up from the sea floor. It is estimated that the construction of the superstructure along will consume the better part of a decade. Once this is completed crews will begin both crafting the aforementioned towers and building what will become the underground transit system. The entirety of this land mass will be planned out, from channeling geothermal vents in the sea floor into reinforced chambers – for power generation – to having the sewer subterranean construction completed before there is a terrain. The finishing touches of the islands will be pressure treating specially selected earth to the superstructure to give the island more of a natural appeal. It is hoped in time the natural vegetation and sea life of the area will inhabit the shores of this island as it would any other.
The first permanent settlement on IXM will be the Republican Forces Base Betel. It’s hoped that RFB Betel will provide enough of a starter population to incite a service sector. Beyond that plans are already being drafted to have some of the original state firms which constructed the island released onto the market. While this is first and foremost a community project it is the hope of government that once IXM starts to take shape the private sector will step in.
Finally and of no small concern to the international community the republic’s cruisers will now be taking a patrol several thousand kilometers wider than their previous routes. The Senate has declared that this water now falls under the claim of territorial waters of Galene. While this does no overlap any existing claims it does fall over several preexisting trade routes. When asked about this the Secretary of State assured the citizens that for the first two years freighters which are redirected because of our efforts will be compensated. When asked what would happen after the two year mark the secretary chose not to comment.
Pamphlet distributed anywhere there is a high unemployment rate and or skilled workforce
Are you tired of working? Unsure of how to join the workforce? Upset that your valuable contributions are all but unnoticed? Then come sign on to work on the IXM. Galene is currently looking to hire hundreds of thousands of workers in almost all fields.
The IXM is a massive undertaking and will stand as a monument of our time. A symbol showing our mastery of our own world, contact us today and be a part of history.
Still not convinced? The project could take more than thirty years and if all you do is drive a catering truck you WILL retire a millionaire. Not only that but there is a benefits policy that we would need to print a book to fill you in on (book available in .pdf format on website). Suffice it to say if you, your spouse, children, or immediate family requires medical attention of any kind YOUR plan will be able to provide it to them.
We have schools available for you children, healthcare facilities for your elderly parents, and every month you will be give five days of shore leave in a beautiful Mediterranean paradise.
Do you STILL NEED CONVINCING? Then how about this? Any and all people who work on the IXM for an ‘extended’ contract will be offered citizenship into the Republic of Galene.
And for the entrepreneur in you anyone who works on the IXM project will be offered the chance to pay into a system wherein you will be granted the title to land. Land you made. This is the most anticipated landscaping / infrastructure project in the history of Galene you could be sitting on a proverbial gold mine.
What are you waiting for? Sign up!

P.S.
While this flourish of activity and the bustle of this project went on the Bank of the Republic made numerous discreet inquires to financial organizations that had good records of long term loans and decent interest rates. Rate inquires as well as questions of investment were asked.
And lastly special ambassadors were sent out to Galene’s maritime neighbours to soothe over concerns this might have brought up. New agreements on fisheries, trade, and the sort would need to be drafted.
