Jelbic investment deal goes through as Wiel and Kasaema agree on subsidies for infrastructure, the economy, and democratic development 

April 5709

Kasaema - President Poloni Jastenev met with Jelbic investors in Kasaema today as continued relationships with Kundrati and the Jelbic Empire has led to, according to several sources in Wiel and Kasaema, a large deal providing significant funds to the Kundrati Union which has been earmarked for investment in infrastructure and the economy.

The deal, which are specifically subsidies from Wiel, will be earmarked towards the restoration and rebuilding of high speed rail throughout the main cities of Kundrati, massive investment in the technology sector and on integrating the bustling gold mining and refinement sectors into the tech industry, alongside investment in cargo infrastructure for seamless integration to the Dundorfian market which notably produces silicon (another material very important to technological development). The investment also promotes additional work on agriculture and agricultural sciences.

This deal, very important to the Kundrati economy, allows for the Kundrati economy to expand from a period of stagnation towards reaching Endralon's or Kirlawa's status of living soon. Let us break down the main points of investment that the Jelbic Empire will provide to the Kundrati Union:

• The investment on cargo and passenger infrastructure will be led by two projects: the rebuilding of high speed rail infrastructure and the construction of infrastructure for seamless trade with Dundorf. 
  
• The investment in rebuilding the high speed rail infrastructure will, once completed at some point before 5740, allow for a one seat fast ride from Riecny Brod in the state of Peghonai in the north to Jildrathi City in the island of Etxea via Kasaema. The service between Etxea and the mainland would be made via a rail ferry service with eventual construction of either a tunnel or a bridge to firmly connect the island to the mainland.
  
• The construction of infrastructure for seamless trade with Dundorf will mainly allow for the cities of Elvomesto and Tomasadyn to become primarily cargo cities. Tomasadyn especially will, under this new plan, have a large train cargo terminal with rail infrastructure to Luzec where the center can be connected towards, eventually, Keita and Papoc in the south. The cargo terminal would also include a new economic investment program providing for a section of the city next to the cargo terminal for tech-related factories to open up and operate alongside large warehouse facilities and housing programs for the workers. This also includes highway infrastructure connecting these terminals and infrastructure to the rest of the nation. Elvomesto would be connected with a smaller cargo terminal and factory zone with rail and highway connections to Pieskova Hora and, eventually, the northern port city of Riecny Brod.
  
• For the integration of the gold mining and refinement sectors with the technology industry, the city of Urdaitz in Jildrath Mainland alongside the city of Venora in Celania who are close to gold mines would also be getting cargo terminals and factory infrastructure. This infrastructure would be aimed at gold related procurement and refinement into usuable or near usuable product. These cities would also be connected to Hradna Ves which would become a massive logistics terminal for gold related economic product from the south alongside tech related infrastructure from the west. The city of Hradna Ves would, therefore, be given additional priority for large cargo and passenger transit terminals alongside highway infrastructure and general improvement to already existing infrastructure.
  
• For agricultural related work, the city to look at is Kadyn in the state of Lirnak. Kadyn is near the agricultural heart of the Kundrati Union which is mainly restricted to the south, the north, and a small strip of land generally concentrated between Takozvani in Peghonai, Kasaema, Hradna Ves in Pilgon, and expanding near Venora in central Celania. With Hradna Ves already being tapped as the infrastructural hub for gold and tech, Kadyn has potential to become the infrastructural hub for agriculture. This includes investment similarly planned for Hradna Ves while also seeing large plots of land in the city planned for industrial development on agriculture including food-related factories and labratories encouraging development of both agricultural products indoors alongside synthesized meats. However, it is most likely that the latter would start to see some development in around 25 to 30 years. 
  
• For all of these developments, funds are being earmarked towards infrastructure development to allow for these advanced industrial programs to work in the first place. Once those infrastructure are nearing completion would priority on funds steer towards these industrial programs.
  

Already we are seeing interest from local companies and entrepreneurs interested in working with the Government for either space in these new plots or working with the Government to begin work on various related products already. These funds have been freed up as a result of the Jelbic investment allowing the Government of the Kundrati Union to directly prioritize entrepreneurs interested in new technology.

In addition to all of this development, the city of Erregelekua would have a portion of the city set aside for democratic development and political science work. The set-aside portion will include investment into a political sciences college dedicated to the study of democracy and the political world alongside how to improve democracy in Kundrati and abroad. The investment also includes a labratory that could work on technological improvements to elections including higher quality voting machines and infrastructure to seamlessly provide proof of votes without interference. The new National Committee on Democracy would also be headquartered here - the NCD, a program with cooperation from the Kundrati and Jelbic governments, would study Kundrati's democracy and provide advice on how Kundrati's democracy could be improved. The NCD also includes programs for democratic education alongside a team of election observers and training on how to become an election observer or a poll worker. This would be the first Kundrati-wide election observation and poll worker training program in a while.
