New economic policies and laws

In accordance with the Hadovy (4-year plan), a new economic model, made through a collaboration between the Treasury of Minsk, the Carski Court and the Assembly of Belarus, has been established and labelled ‘Plan reformy’ or the plan for reform.

The economy, like the rest of Orbis, has been trying hard to survive under the global recession. Inflation, cost of living, and many major Belorussian companies falling to the hand of the European global stock crash. The government has been trying to create scapegoats, and they blame the ‘reds’ (anyone against the government) as a ploy to ‘destabilise the great Tsars nation’.

• TBR400, or just under OBD1,000 in extra money via a stimulus check to be give to those eligible
• Subsidies from the Tsars cabinet to be given to companies in key industries such as the timber industry, coal mining industry, or agriculture industry
• Over 3,000 acres of land given to agricultural needs 
• Wealth fund established
• Project Dreva: in an effort to make the large timber and paper industries sustainable and more profit heavy, Project Dreva aims to a) increase the chopping of trees and the printing of more paper and b) to replant MORE trees than the ones that were taken down. To help with this, companies have been forced to plant trees down, and labourers, farmers and prisoners are set to also work on planting trees. 
• 5% of civilian income goes to self-security fund
•  Private companies have been given interest-heavy loans that are set to be used on buying up other smaller companies. Any companies remaining are set to be bought by Mogliev bank and given to the government. 
• Extreme land reform which hopes to centralise the large and expansive agriculture industry. 
• Propaganda campaigns to help convince the populous to have more children.
• Nauruan phosphate bought to help fertilise the ground.
• Further improvement of the autarky effort 
• Import substitution industrialization effort 
• Government allowed to borrow money 
• Cheap loans given to companies 
• ‘Useless jobs’ such as restroom attendant or grocer are considered illegal. College students who may need a job to may money, who are attracted to simple and silly jobs like those mentioned, are set to work as ‘dolls’ for government testing or to be told to work as other jobs (tutor, telemarketer, waiter, etc)
• Nationalisation of key industries such as steel, paper, timber, and mining industries.

Military

Production on the new Alexander II Super-heavy tank to be only limited to 4 tanks. This is due to large expenses as well as funders and military experts questioning the tank and how suitable it may be in wars. Furthermore, more and more military production occurs as guns, and tanks, are being mass made. A further 20,000 men join the Imperial Guard after a very successful propaganda campaign, “With weapon in hand, with the cross in the heart".

Cultural news
As previously mentioned, ‘reds’, which refers to anyone not aligned with the Tsars' ideologies, are being used as a scapegoat for the government. For this reason, Reabilitavać camp’s as well as what newspapers have called ‘the day the red bled’, a string of arrests, executions and deportations of known enemies of the states, occurred. Communist, possibly Soviet Federation supported, militias such as Kamunistyčnaja voĺnaja which is a military armed Communist terrorist squad, have spread the nation into mass hysteria that was fueled by the government and the Carksi propaganda machine. 

In other news, the film industry of Belarus has been growing thru Belarus, the Soviet Federation, soviet Ukraine and the Soviet Baltic States as well as Poland. Actors such as Aryna Tumash, who saw huge success as a model and actor in English and American films, has returned back to Belarus where she and male actor Andrey Adamovič Jr acted in a host of films in Belarus, Poland and Soviet states. Major films such as Ivan the Terrible, an action film which grossed $20 million in Belarus and another $60 million in Polish cinema. French film reviewer and director Andrew Saint Blac stated that the reason for the success of Belarussian films in non-Belarussian states is the reason for similar languages between the countries, and the fact of ‘old, western film ideas, reimagined in the Slavic mind’. The film industry is split into 2 sects, the fame era which are more blockbuster-esque films such as an Belarusian dame directed by Vinsek Benjamin Lansky, a Jewish-Belorussian rom-com flick that was translated for other neighbouring languages and has won acting awards in both Poland and Belarus. The 2nd sect within the film is more avant-garde films that explore Belarussian history, and the human mind. An example of this is last year's Frank and Lilly, directed by Utlmar Judia, a film that explores the idea of historical figure Tsarevich Frank and his love for a Bulgarian servant's daughter he had, Lily. The dream-like film won awards and became a huge success in nations like Belarus, 4th Republic of Poland, Soviet Federation, and even certain Baltic states within the Serdosian Empire. Popular genres include, romance, action, mafia, war, historical and comedy films. The government has also begun using cinema as a propaganda tool, releasing war films and the like. 

Cigarets and tobacco use have been growing through the nation. The government, to both limit and make more money with this possible new industry, has increased taxation on it.
