Conclusion of the Xialtan Civil War
The people of the Far Eastern Magnean coast sigh in relief, as it is announced that the Xialtan Civil War, which has lasted for over 7 years, between the Socialist Authoritarian movement of the Antartes and the regional Capitalist Barons, is finally over, with over 4.7 million casualties. The Antartes managed to successfully overthrow the Barons and exile them on the 26th of October. The next day, the Socialist Autocracy of Xialta was formed, an absolute Monarchy that embraces Socialism. The government is composed by the Queen and head of state Constantina Vasileiou Yakushkina, followed by the minister of Defense Mitsos Cardiopoulou, the minister of Economy and Industry Daria Sclavoniki, the minister Council of Education, Media and Entertainment (C.E.M.E.), the minister of Law and Order Nikos Polycharos and a wide range of bureaucrats and diplomats, which independently do not have all that much influence over any other government branch, that form the Council of Foreign Relations and Trade (C.F.R.T.). Now with the tyrants gone, the new government of Xialta promises to provide free household and healthcare to all Xialtan citizens and an increased income equality, effectively bringing the richest and poorest citizens closer to one another economically. The Xialtan government also has privatized almost every property in the nation, thus transforming every corporation into a small state-owned buisiness, unable to compete with one another, effectively eliminated all complicated monopolies. After she was assigned as ruler of Xialta, Queen Constantina has decided to make a public speech, regarding the Civil War and the future of the nation.
"Venerable people of Xialta, it has been years since we've seen the light rays of peace and justice rain upon this country. The wounds that these barbaric Capitalists have opened wont be closing anytime soon. We'll have to work hard to rebuild all the infrastructure that is now lost and, unfortunately, we wont be able to replace the brave heroes that fell, while fighting for the Antartes and the future of our civilization. I promise to protect the Xialtan citizens from the wrong-doings of its enemies and bring to us all prosperity!"
Although struggling to rebuild the agricultural market, ontop of scorched earth, the Xialtan industry has transformed arms manufacturies into canneries and expects Xialta to have abundant food supplies again in two months from now. That being said, the Xialtan mining industry is booming, which is a sign that there will be future traderoutes between Xialta and other nations in need of various metals. The Xialtan future will undoubtably be bright and full of glory.
