PONTELASA - The results for the diplomatic efforts of the new Istalian government are paying off: the reapproachement and negotiation with several foreign countries to collect funds for the war efforts and to cope with the humanitarian crisis unleashed by the war are going well and to further plead suppport for the Istalian cause the government is about to send Gran Princess Nicoletta (36 yo), younger daughter of Emperor Mattia, in an international tour in all continents. Princess Nicoletta will meet government officials and through them private actors as well: with her a group of government officials of the Minister of Finance and of the Armed Forces will leave too, working to place war bonds emitted by the Istalian government to public as well as private entities.
The nations that positively welcomed the Istalian's requests and that publicly expressed already their support are Dundorf and Egelion, while among other nations that showed a positive stance to the government there are Narikaton and Darnussia, Luthori, Kalopia and Selucia.
Although some of these nations already underlined that their support will focus on the humanitarian aid, the perspectives for the war efforts are steadily improving as well as for the new Istalian regime which, despite some perplexity raised about the very nationalistic stance of the new political Framework, are finally earning international recognition.
Already two weeks ago, Emperor Mattia alongside the Minister Secretary of State Floria Monaldi welcomed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Dundorf Alexander Schumacher in Pontelasa and they spent a lot of time to talk about the war as well as the future prespectives of a pacified Istalia, eager to rebuild its network of diplomatic as well as economic relations with the international community.
Moreover, the government expressed their satisfation also for how the placement of the war bonds domestically is going, announcing proudly that almost 60 billions of LIS have been already collected and that the forecast says that the figures could increase up to 110 and 120 billions.
About this, Emperor Mattia, welcoming citizens and economic actors of the Nation at the Residenza delle Arance, the provisional residence of the Head of State in the pleasent outskirt of Pontelasa, expressed how the Crown is extremely proud to see such great devotion showed by the population.
In fact, despite the economic difficulties caused by the long years of war, with the GDP having collapsed below 800 billion LIS, and despite the general sacrifices, with the share of available savings having dropped significantly to around 10% of the GDP, families, companies and financial institutions are demonstrating that they are more than willing to face further sacrifices and to allocate a greater share of their income or assets to war bonds.
The Emperor, furthermore, in occasion of a review of the newly enrolled personnel of the Armed Force held in Caleon, expressed also his great satisfation and all the proudness of the Nation to see how many young and less young citizens have run to enlist to the Armed Forces as well as into the Civil Service. A part the patriotic feelings, it is undeniable that the new electoral mechanisms pushed people to join the national service and thus it is expected for the next elections a drastic increase of those entitled of the vote right.
If the former will be trained and send on the Peninsula, those enrolled in the Civil Service will be sent to factories, industrial installation, etc... or will join the Civilian Logistic Network created to support the Military.
Other civilians praised specifically by the Emperor, who visited them in Missel, and to whom the government will recognize the electoral franchise, are those who created the Association for the Victims of Foundamentalism, who is aimed to bring help and to support the families of the victims of the Ahmadi foundamentalists that are continuing to barbarically hit the Istalian population and among which, as underlined by the Emperor, there are also Ahmadi Istalian majatrans fleeing from Quanzar in opposition of the Great Emirate and recognizing themself as Istalian, a sign of hope for a future reconciliation said Emperor Mattia.
