Cabinet Reports

Deparmtment of Foreign Affairs

So far this month, we have been doing the usual tasks of touching base with the new Governments around the eWorld, and introducing ourselves. Myself and the other Ministers have also been getting ourselves familiar with CP Tim Holtz's game plan for the month, and establishing viable options.

We have had a meeting with Chile to determine our relationship after last months falling out, and the treaty being broken, and it seems that Chile are not willing to reconcile our differences at this point, so we will be moving to strengthen our position via another means, and perhaps seeking arbitration for the breaking of the treaty by Chile last month.

This means seeking out other countries that may be willing to help us, they may be from any alliance we are at least for the moment trying to be non specific.

There will be reports directly from the Foreign Affairs department released soon.

Department of Defence

So far the Defence department has been debating on which MPPs to sign, many suggestions were thrown around from all alliances in the game.

This was prelim stages before asking them.

Luckily for us Molly Jo of the ARP suggested South Africa which we always thought of as a perfect choice, since they had battles with Brazil from region swapping it was a perfect opportunity to get a battle or 2.

Currently we are analyzing more countries to sign with, the goal being battles for Aus.

Western Australia Resistance War
South Australia Resistance War
Out of our own citizens pockets we had some very close battles against Chile and Indonesia. Unluckily we just couldn't hold the battles by the time we all went to bed. Good effort by all regardless.

Department of Finance

"The department of Finance has prepared a budget and sent a proposal for the Senate to consider. The budget is set for breakeven with a continuation of austere spending.

The economy seems to have found a settling point where prices for WRM are 0.02-0.03 AUD. Needless to say it is increasingly difficult for government terasuries to fund what thay have doen in the past. Our MPP requirements can be covered by our tax income but there is precious little else. As pressure mounts on many countries, look out for a raft of game changes from Plato."

Department of Internal Affairs

After the last month in Internal Affairs some ideas have been put to the senate in regards to Immigration procedure for the purpose of potentially cancelling out any possible bias when dealing with the approval of new citizens to our Country. This includes the ideas of having senators being included in the immigration process in the form of a committee and the idea was also raised in having an Inspector General approved Immigration assistant or something to that effect.
