Telamon to Invest In Kalistan
December 4439

Earlier today journalists were dumbstruck when the Telamon government announced plans for massive investments in Kalistan's floundering economy. Despite having no formal relationship with Kalistan outside the Organisation of Drug Exporting Nations (ODEN) the government pledged to help Kalistani efforts to stabilize its economy. Forsætisráðherra Christine Leonhardsdottir announced a five-pronged effort. Telamon's government is about to make a substantial investment in Kalistan's currency, as well as offering the Kalistani government a sizeable loan without interest. Furthermore the Telamonese government will guarantee for loans to Kalistan by private banks in Telamon. Additionally investments in Kalistan will be one hundred percent tax-deductible for Telamonese investors for a period of five years. Finally, all state-owned drug producers -- which are responsible for roughly two thirds of drug production in Telamon -- have been instructed to reduce their exports of drugs also exported by Kalistan by fifty percent for five years.
