Continuing the Red Rubies Initiative; Diamonds and Rubies to be sold.

The Red Rubies Initiative has been ongoing for quite some time now. Between opening mines, establishing new mines, establishing adjacent industries and opening a new source of revenue for the state, progress has been slow but steady. With local communities receiving the benefits first (new jobs, investments and income), the question has been floating about whether rubies should be sold like diamonds are to the international market. Today, the People's Committee of Economic Management has confirmed that rubies will be apart of the ethical marketplace niche that Xsampa has and will be sold. Like diamonds, they will be priced higher than the global market average, but that is to compensate for higher costs such as of course, environmental protections, labour protections and the like.

So what does this mean? Two things. One, local communities will directly benefit from this even more, gaining more income to continue developing and thriving. Secondly, the state will gain another source of revenue. While it currently sits at a surplus thanks to the 30 billion selling of the Meleh's Gem, long term, this isn't sustainable. Especially with plans to use that 30 billion to better Xsampa. So, expanding our revenue via selling rubies will be vital to ensuring long term revenue, and ensure that deficit spending in the future is curbed or at least minimized. 

Whatever the case, with the ruby industry setting off (albeit slower than the diamond industry due to less government guiding and letting worker co-operatives lead the industry), we can expect revenue for the state to increase. Whether it'll be enough or not is entirely a different question.
