We're actually doing pretty well with both Japan and China, and our overall approval rating from the people of Guangdong is excellent. The only ones who aren't totally ecstatic are the Japanese expats and they're still sitting at about 75%. Update on previous page!

I feel like having gotten the corruption abusing the system out so heavily first WOULD be the thing that might make the tax laws easier to pass, but also, those minerals ain't gonna mine themselves. A.

1 .15% of GDP growth seems a small price to pay for not dislocating people from their homes. I'm sure they can figure it out.

Chapter 26: October - December 1969 The Chief Executive has gone from triumph to triumph, but his mind – and sleep – remain uneasy.  After all, there are so many different forms trauma can take.  Who is to say which is more legitimate than the others? quote:World News Tension in the Indian Ocean is concerning, as Guangdong’s economy – like the rest of the Sphere’s – is heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil shipments. Instability in that whole region could have calamitous effects. But there is nothing we can do about this except keep on with the business at hand.   quote:The Displaced Family   This one gets through pretty easily and bribes are not required.  And so the Legislative Council adjourns for the last time this decade. As they have since 1873 the Japanese population of Guangdong prepares to celebrate the new year on January 1st, while the Chinese citizens go about their business treating it like any other day. The Zhujin, for once benefiting from being caught between the two, look forward to having an excuse to celebrate two holidays, this and the Lunar New Year on January 26. For now, though, let’s take a look around the world and see where things stand at the beginning of the 1970s.   Guangdong is a transformed land, her people safe and secure and profits rocketing upwards. Surely nothing can knock down a building with such a sturdy foundation!  To our north, the Republic of China has used the shock of the Nanjing Report as a springboard for further economic reforms, with tacit approval – or at least indifference – from Prime Minister Takagi, himself consumed with an anti-corruption crusade.  The rest of the Sphere remains generally peaceful with the sole exception of Vietnam, whose government, after suffering a coup and counter-coup, has continued to lose territory to the Viet Minh.  The various wars in Sub-Saharan and Equatorial Africa have died down as borders are claimed and states turn their attention inward.  With Japanese support, the Pan-African movement has gone from victory to victory, successfully driving the French and their lackeys from West Africa and the Americans from Angola.  In the Mediterranean and North Africa, the Rome Pact – Italy’s successor to the ill-fated Triumvirate – serves as an effective check on further German expansion, even as relations between the two European powers improves gradually.  Western Europe, however, remains at war. In the former Iberian Federation, democratic and fascist forces tear at each other in Spain and Portugal, with the war possibly going either way. France could potentially see a victor soon, though. Across the Channel, London continues to celebrate their reunification, but at what cost?   Here’s a surprise; while the UK joining the OFN seemed perfectly natural …  … Turkey’s cozying up with the alliance has seemed to come out of left field. In the United States, the first year of President Goldwater’s term has seen a focus on international trade, particularly with shoring up economic ties within the OFN. A “Sony of America” subsidiary will remain a pipe dream. Meanwhile, South America is a divided continent. Brazilian and Uruguayan democracy remains strong, while Argentina and Chile languish under the autocratic rule on Juan Perón and Roberto Viaux, respectively. Further north, dictatorships in Ecuador and New Granada face down the leftist democratic government in Venezuela.  And finally in Russia, General Yagoda’s brutal communist regime has been defeated by the somewhat less brutal oligarchy in Novosibirsk, while west of the Urals the battle rages on. But now, we really must do something about taxes and Guangdong. Choose one: A:  B:  C:  D: E: A, B, and C are all mutually exclusive, as are D and E

The Guangdong Future Fund is the clear choice, but to keep the next update from being super short, let's also figure out what else we're going to do for Guangdong's tax system. You've seen these choices before, but I'll also add the different ways that they can be implemented to the vote. A: And its subchoices: 1:  2:  - or - B 1:  2:  Vote for one ordinance and one amendment to that ordinance, so B1 or A2, for example.

Chapter 27: January - November 1970quote:World News  The year 1970 begins with the conclusion of the French Civil War. Already, OFN officials have been photographed arriving in Bordeaux.  Back home, the Chief Executive’s attention finally turns to the tax system. After a short deliberation, the Guangdong Future Fund is chosen as the best way to proceed.   Good thing we didn’t let the ICAC go completely ham on everybody, this nice man could get thrown in jail! quote:The Displaced Family  The turn of the decade has everyone in a reflective mood, it seems.  One of the advantages of the Guangdong Future Fund is that it is purely an executive-level decision, and does not need to be approved by the Legislative Council. As such, Morita and company can turn the creation and maintenance of said fund over to the bureaucrats and get to work on the next thing on the agenda. quote:World News The news from China is equally inspiring and concerning. On the one hand, China has effectively followed the example of Guangdong and, it could be argued, 19th-century Japan. On the other hand, China still considers the Three Pearls to be their rightful territory.  Further north and west, Western Russia has been unified by Mikhail Tukhachevsky. Once again communists and capitalists stare each other down, with all of Russia as the prize. quote:The Displaced Family Don’t be a dick and you won’t get ratted out; something a huge amount of management can’t comprehend.   Again we find ourselves in the position where the vote margin is close enough that a few individual bribes can put us over the top, rather than including institutional ones.     quote:World News Well, this is convenient timing, as the 1970 product launch is getting underway.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leni_Riefenstahl  The leaders of Guangdong toast another success, as half a world away decisions are made that will have lasting consequences. quote:World News  Italy, taking note of increasing instability and unrest in their colonial holdings, starts to scale back their investments at the edges of their empire. A deeply unpopular brush war in the mid-60’s on the Horn of Africa cost the government too much blood and treasure, so the decision is made that similar issues in the future must be handled by the local governments, both in their direct colonial holdings and allied Middle Eastern regimes. The smooth transition of the UAE to independence is unfortunately soon shown to be the exception that proves the rule. quote:World News Yemen is the first to go, shortly followed by their neighbor. quote:World News  Next is Egypt. quote:World News And shortly thereafter, Sudan and Iraq.   The oil fields are ablaze, and the Bab-el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz are shooting galleries. quote:World News
