Commissar Augustus Democraticus Sets Rimskaya Back to Work

Having taken his position as Commissar of Rimskaya, Augustus Democraticus is eager to set Rimskaya back into motion. For starters, he's announced that the army will be restored to guard our current territories from any further hostility, and even consider some movements into North America. Though this was originally pledged against by his father Maximus Democraticus, and against his original plan of using the army for strictly defensive purposes, Augustus stated:

"The Revolution knows no borders, no treaties, no boundaries. Aequitas may recognize such as it desires. Marxist Communism? Never. Besides, we're going into lands not owned by any particular state to our knowledge, so we are not infringing on any borders regardless."

On a non-militant note, the reserves of the army have been put to work in the many cities of Rimskaya, and have been tasked with helping the people rebuild the cities into the metropolises they once were. Though it will be a long and hard process, Augustus is confident that the Rimskayan people and military will collectively work to restore the state to what it used to be.

On other notes, as schools reopen, as a result of the rather surprising fact it wasn't the case already, the public school system (aka the only school system) is under new legislation by the state, mandating the reading of the Communist Manifesto, in its original text, as well as an alternated and simplified version to apply to the modern age in aspects Marx and Engels couldn't have or hadn't foreseen.

In the production arena, the state factories have been shifted mainly to construction materials, and rebuilding the army. Food processors have been ordered to double-time it with the cookies, as plans are being drawn up to make them so cheap to produce (considering they're already free everywhere) that people will actually be paid to eat them, though this is under review as a method of getting rich and disrupting the classless society.

In foreign relations, Rimskaya maintains her alliance to Luna, however has made the ultimate decision of once again stepping back from global affairs to focus on building up Aequitas. The alliance has been doing rather well so far, now nearing 20 members and even squeezing out an advertisement to the Orbis world (also under review by the legislature for using a capitalist tool though the alliance is strictly moderate democracy in format). How exactly it will make its big break onto the scene of global politics remains to be discovered, but Augustus is equally confident in this as all else that success is only a matter of time:
 

"The success of Aequitas or any other is a matter of when, not if. An alliance like Aequtias was bound to bring itself forward sooner or later, and should it fail, another will inevitably take its place, from Rimskaya or not. 

This is going to be a recurrence that Orbis cannot avoid, and it will either lead to a successful influence with the potential to alter the diplomatic field of Orbis all together, or will drag Orbis down in the constant struggle between the powerful states and the masses: The Haves, and Have-Nots." 

And in the end, the success of the Have-Nots is inevitable, either in the form of total political control, or in their abandonment of Orbis for a better world, leaving the powerful to fight and weaken in this would-then-be slowly declining world.
