[b][u]Kalpian Austerity Measures[/u][/b]

[/center]

To the say the least is to say that the Kalpian economy is the worse in the entire continent, decades on the illusion of military supremacy and terrible management have left the Republic finances in a state of utter imminent collapse which if you showed to any sane and reasonable man on the Continent, they would say with the utmost certainty and clarity of mind that is unavoidable. And let's be frank, it is the truth, yet the People's party seems to put ever more intent in fixing the situation from the doom that is to come to the republic once when the year ends.

Of course, the rest of the parties in the Congress were blinded or to be clearer they were self-blinded to the notions of finance and management that the country was facing, they even wondered what had been the president doing over the last two years of his term over the country, but yet the answers were even clearer. Corruption from bottom to top had spread like a measle to all sectors of the administration, thus they refused to do anything about it even if the cost was the lives of millions, after all, they could always move to Tara or Oslad if the country collapsed, they had the money and there was no one who could stop them, besides the damn socialists. Which seemed to garner more support every day.

Even the People's party was blindfolded previous to the discoveries of a young man that got some information on the real finances of the country. The party could simply denounce of corruption every single other party, but that would not do, no they would just simply get away with it like many times before, thus they had to force the hand of the parties to change the economic situation for better.

At first, the People's party made an uneasy alliance with the Socialist party which was also aware of the economic dismay of the republic, but that like the People's party could do little if not less because of the repression they suffered at the hands of the most consolidated parties, with that done they could at least advance a little more in the path of solving one of the foremost economic problems of the republic. 

Both parties also knew that the Fatherland's party was one of the reasons behind all the corruption and the destruction of Kalpian financial policy, after all, they were the one who benefited the most from it as hundreds of millions were spent in the military and of course not all of it went to the army, if not for leaked information they would have never found out that the Kalpian Army did not have enough to rifles, ammunition or artillery to supply all of the army.

The steps that followed were tedious and long, making sure to have the support of the few honest congressmen and avoiding the gaze and suspicion of those who were corrupt. The people were also a major factor and even more importantly the press, which leaked some information about the economic status of the republic, of course, not all of the information because that would cause the utter most havoc in the population and generate an anarchy that would see no end in years to come. 

But at last, the notion to pass austerity measures passed even if costed lots of tensions, favors, and nerves from all involved in it. The austerity measures included things like reducing military spending by reducing the number of reservists and active soldiers to an amount that the budget could handle, the raise on taxes on the rich, the middle class and the poor, in order to cover the basic needs of the state such as administration and policing. And many other measures that with a miracle could save the republic before the next fiscal year.

But the People's party and the socialist party knew that the people would be angry, and not only the ragtag poor but also the rich and clerks. Because none likes taxes or becoming unemployed overnight.

[b][u]Kalpian Act of Order[/u][/b]

In order to handle the after effects of the Austerity measures, the People's party passed a new legislature with the objective of making sure that the republic did not collapse from riots and other social manifestations against the austerity measures and as such, it involved the use of the department of military police and the army proper to maintain the public order when the situation called for it and the paranoic attitude of the People's party and that of other parties, believed that it would be so. After all, what would be a little violation of political and civil rights, when the whole nation was at stake of collapse.

Thus the arms of the army were now to turn against the people that paid for them, a horrible situation only comparable to the fictional stories of mister Krapchenko a novelist that wrote many novels about alternate history, one of them about a Dictatorship in Kalpia which because of the military supremacy of Kalpia dominated the whole Continent through intimidation and military control.

[b][u]Kalpian Inner Focus[/u][/b]

[/center]


After the Kalpian-Zellonian Conflict, the political parties of Kalpia preached an inner focus on the affairs of Kalpia, because they said that it was the foremost priority of Republic to improve itself and to provide a place where everyone had the same rights and worked together for a better society, better than those of absolutists countries.

Of course, for the most educated of the bunch, this was a bunch of bullshit meant to keep the masses in check and the people happy, because if there was anything that the elites of the country wished to never happen, was real equality , equality that was hammered down by an entrenched corruption in the republican system.
