The 4-year plan

The 4-year plan

The Chancellor along with Tsar Fredrick II announced the start of the new 4-year economic plan (Hadovy) that was made in accordance with the Carski court, the treasury and the Assembly of the Belarus and has promised full inflation decreasing, self-sufficiency, and the end of the 3rd Great recession in Belarus. Here is a deep dive into what it entails.

Autarky (Economic Self-Sufficiency)

For years now the government has been trying to stay away from importing especially of key and valuable resources that are considered strategically important. For this, attempts of tariffs, trade control, and infrastructure development has been key. Most, if not all things mentioned here are only done to help this matter. 

Agricultural expansion

Lead under the thumb of Velikiy knyaz (Grand Prince) Branislaǔ Rusak, a state-owned royal organisation that will help the to oversee and regulate agricultural production. Its not a secret that the Imperial Government have been trying to get a sense of autonomy over the barter economy of the vast rural populus and they believe, under the chairmanship of Velikiy knyaz Branislaǔ Rusak the large agriculture business will become centralised. Furthermore, the government hopes to turn smaller farms into much more bigger efficient ones and hope to utilise modern machinery. Rough production targets have also been set (currently confidential) that will ensure sufficient food supply for the Belarusian people. 

To help the growing expansion, a labour force mobilisation has been called and just under half-a-million able-bodied men and women will be called it and placed into farms and factories to work in. This has been pushed by another government organisation, ‘Maci hlieby’ (which translates to ‘the mothers soil’) and has been pushing a rural lifestyle. They hope to combat rapid rural-depopulation and have begun ‘idealising the old lifestyle’. State subsidies have been set up to help with this and land reclamation has begun as already 50,000 acres of land have been toiled to agriculture.

This is very important to Belarus and Her people/government.  For many years now the nation has been trying to enter an Autarky state in all sectors, but more particularly with food production. It is very important for the royals to stop relying on foreign exports of food.

Raw materials and resources 

A key focus of the 4-year plan is the production of synthetic substitutes for vital, and expensive, raw materials that were in short supply. Production in rubber and oil/fuel are most particularly needed to reduce focus on imports. In fact, it was leaked that secretary-treasurer Christopher Volks said that the nation is set to enter full fuel and food self-sufficiency by the end of next year by turning our large coal supplies into oil via the Fischer-Tropsch process. 

A large mineral, metal and other strategic material mining will also be expanded and will be sold both internationally and to be used within the country further stopping imports from foreign nations. Infact, the complete stop of exporting resources is the most important and main reason why the plan was made in the first place to limit or stop exporting of products. To help with this, a funding of $200,000,000 has been sent to many groups of scientists, economists and many more professionals for research to help find the best and most efficient way to extract, turn into and stockpile resources. Along with this, a large stockpile of raw and valuable resources (e,g coal, fuel, iron [which will mostly be exported from Korea], food stockpiles etc). To help with this, talks on labour have been called.

This part of the plan has been criticised. Many of the aristocrats and the capitalist have state that the plan calls for too much of a state-ownership of resources and the use of it.

Military-Industrial Complex

In recent months a surge in both civilian and military factories have been growing with many credits for this endeavour going to the Plenipotentiary of the Hadovy, Pilipey Mikalajšanka. Mikalajšanka has been the main man responsible for translating Tsar St. Fredrick I’s ideas of self-sufficiency and a long-lasting army into plausible ideologies. His main focus was the expansion of the arms industry and strategic use of resources to help fasten the arms race. Another $3,000,000 expansion in arms development research and a further private funding of $40,000,000 to army production and surplus. 

Not much to say. The labour mobilisation has been called in for this, and many older civilian factories have been turned into military ones. 

Labor Force ([UCLF (United Coalition Labour Force]) and Infrastructure

The establishment of the UCLF (United Coalition Labour Force) is set to be formed and will made to help ease the prices of unifying worker unions, and consolidating power and centralising power under the Tsars cabinet, and mainly being used as a compulsory labour force for young men and women which aimed at providing enough workers for public projects and factory work; inherently forced labour. UCLF will be led by a coalition group of puppet leaders that are set to be ‘for the people’. The main of which being Bahdan Šaus, the leader of the factory union ship of Belarus. 

Furthermore, a reorganisation of the labour market is to ensue (under the command of the UCLF), to make it so it prioritises military and infrastructure development/production. This is also helped by private funding from many private companies. A link between government and private corporations will be well kept. 

To stop any strikes that will disturb the imperial Tsardoms hard work, puppet leaders sent by the Carski court have taken control over the many unions, and unions that seemed unfit, or ‘unliked by the Carkski court’ have been dissolved and members have been forced to join puppet unions. Propaganda will continue. 

For infrastructure, more and more housing, cheaper public transport, communication towers, energy facilities, high-way development, street development and much much more are being taken more seriously. 

State-control over the 4-year plan will be taken care of over the Assembly of Belarus, the Carski cabinet, and the Royal family as well as the office of the 4-year plan.
