[center][b][h3]Pepe - Department of Industry and Production[/h3][/b][/center]

	Pepe had spent some days working in his office, speaking to those assigned underneath and above him as he took in everything he could. To be honest, he had been extremely surprised when the call came that the new President, whom Pepe did not particularly like, had decided to offer leadership over the Department of Industry and Production. It was a surprising gesture, but an interesting one. The economy was perhaps the greatest thing underlying Melizea, since it was in fact the people as a whole. If the economy, the real economy, did well, so did the people. The People were the path forward, Pepe had written many times in his papers. And if Pepe did this job well, if the economy did well as a response, perhaps Pepe could catapult himself and his ideals onto the Melizean political stage in full.

	Or at least, the thought crossed his mind for a moment before he shrugged, looked down at his papers, and decided to do his absolute best job at helping Melizea and the People in this capacity.

	Pepe had gathered what economic information he could muster as well as information gained from speaking to other in government. There were clear and necessary to satisfy demands for food, as a hungry population was an angry population. Currently, there were plenty of goods waiting to be delivered, a job handled by Transportation. [i]Hmm... I have little doubt infrastructure is a major economic bottleneck. I need to figure out how to help address that,[/i] ruminated Pepe, [i]At the same time, we need to feed the people and supply oil for our economy and income. Any oil that gets to the docks by the end of 2020 will also be sold, so I can rely on that to take care of moving that product.[/i]

	Leaning back in his chair, Pepe looked out the window whilst packing some herbs into his pipe, [i]I know we have plenty of goods currently waiting to be shipped, but I need to know other information as well.[/i] The barely middle-aged Latin man lit his pipe, took a long, slow drag, and contemplated the situation, exhaling lightly.

	It was decided a simple, safe course of action would be taken. All industries in Melizea would produce goods, resulting in addition food, construction materials, and oil. Pepe couldn't find papers related to food consumption in Melizea, so decided more is never a bad thing in that case. Construction materials were produced as well because Pepe had little doubt they would be needed for infrastructure improvements. And oil, well, oil, was mainly to earn money. The more wealth Melizea brought to it, in Pepe's mind, the faster Melizea could rapidly industrialize and modernize. And the sooner its people would be freed physically and intellectually. To press Melizean Industrialization, Pepe decided to spend the Department's budget building another Factory in the Capitol, resulting in a total of three in the Capitol.

	In addition to this, Pepe ordered his righthand subordinate, Julio De'Sal, to organize a think tank of economic advisors that would organize data to give the Department of Industry and Production a number of statistics such as food consumption in Melizea and oil consumption.
