The Treaty of Greater Minsk, the formation of the United Coalition Labour Force, over 3,600 strikes all over the country and more

The Treaty of Greater Minsk

Following the escalation of the ‘Red scare in Belarus’, pressure from both allies and neighbours have had talks between  the Belarusian high-command and the Soviet government and have come up with the treaty of Greater Minsk.

• Soviet peacekeepers are to be sent to the Tsardom of Belarus to ensure civilians are not attacked by the Tsarist government.
• Demilitarisation of the Belarusian-Soviet border, all paramilitary, guards or mercs are set to leave the region.
• The tear down of the Vialikaja Sciana (the Grand Wall). The Damestan caliphate has offered to reimburse the $200,000 or so to the aristocrat who paid for the construction of it.
• The large illegal drug trade of Belarus to stop and not be endorsed by the Tsars cabinet.
• The Tsardom can not host any American troops/bases in the nation, however Polish forces are allowed in and 5,000-20,000 Serdosian soldiers are allowed in. 
• NAP between Belarus and the Soviets for 6-years.
• The KGB along with the IIBB is set to work together to hunt down the Mašseraǔists (a group of hard line extremist Stalinist-communists who assassinated the Tsar leaving him in a coma).
• The freedom of Belarus is guaranteed by the Soviet Federation.

This has been met with mixed reactions from the people, and government. Many have said that this treaty brings us closer to our Slav’ brethren, while others, mostly the aristocracy and military, have stated that ‘this is just the first few steps of the Red take over’.

The formation of the United Coalition Labour Force
Led by Plenipotentiary Pilipey Mikalajšanka, an aristocratic Sir-in-waiting, born into generational wealth and leader of the 4-year plan), has formed the United Coalition Labour Force a Government force that is set out to consolidate power of the many unions in the nation under the power of the currently in coma Tsars cabinet as well as providing enough able bodied workers for the nation to grow and expand (provide force labour). The UCLF is being led by a council of pupper union leaders, most notably Maksim Šupa the new leader of the West-Breast factory union. 

Already the UCLF has given over 4,000 men, women and some children to work on the cotton, drugs and food farms of the nation and around 20 smaller unions have been forcefully disbanded by the UCLF or have been given puppet stewards. Most under the reason of being ‘disliked by the Carski court’. 
Over 3600 strikes all over the nation
Following the death and presumed assassination of union steward of the nation's biggest union, the West-Brest factory union, Nil Paškievič, hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets and began strikes and protests against the lack of wages, and border-line forced labour of the nation's lower-working class. Industries that have been affected by the strikes include the large number of factory workers, miners, builders, bus drivers, tobacco farmersand farmers (the most severe loss). Police has been dispatched, and the Internal Intelligence Bureau of Belarus (the IIBB, inherently the secret police), have began sending armed police and special forces have been sent to large cities to stop the peaceful protests, but in the west in the opium/drug farms military police have been sent to ‘peacefully deal with corrupted workers’. 

The government hopes that strikes in the cities, especially that of factory-workers, will end and hopes that the ‘men and women who make the nations cogs spin come back to their senses’ (said by Plenipotentiary Pilipey Mikalajšanka in a written press release)

Culture laws
The Assembly of Belarus has signed a controversial set of acts and laws. One of which said that the public talk of the Russian language, especially the Soviet Federation dialect, has been illegal and a $2,000 Orbis dollars fine can be placed on if caught speaking. Furthermore, the languages of any African, Middle Eastern, East Asian, South Asian or South American language or dialect in public will be met with the same penalty. Furthermore, foreign TV channels and shows have become illegal to watch, and all Japanese and certain Korean media have also been banned in the nation. 

MDP with Serdoisa, and ODoAP with the Holy Golden Empire 

An MDP with the Serdosian Empire and an ODoAP, and free trade with the Holy Golden Empire have both been signed by the Belarussian High-command. May the relations with both countries last long and strong.
