[Economic Development]

 

The reformation of the Persian Empire brought much joy to the civilian population; yet, there was still much to be done. Just after the formation, the Persian King issued an Imperial Decree, ordering various national entities to revitalize the national economy and bring the nation's infrastructure to first world standards. "There must be improvements to our road system, railroad networks (to support high speed systems), bridges, and buildings.", a part of the Imperial Decree stated. In addition, all oil and mineral mining operations will be placed under the direct control of the Imperial Ministry of Petroleum This would allow for increased funding, which will allow for more efficient oil and gas production. With these reforms, the Imperial Ministry of Mining will increase general oil production to 7 Mbbl/d (1,100,000 m3/d) and gas production to 900 million cubic meter/day.

 

A smaller, secondary decree was also issued to the Ministry of Energy, directing the ministry to build additional nuclear power plants and upgrade existing plants.

The tranquility of the early morning hours was interuppted by the explosion of a fifty kiloton nuclear weapon. The test, conducted in a secure location, marked the beginning of the atomic age in the Persian Empire. Shortly after, King Ahadur released a short statement to the people of Persia and the world concerning the recent test.

[Persian Efficiency]

 

In an announcement from the Imperial Ministry of Transportation, it was announced that over seventy percent of the cars on the road were of the electric variety, which has reduced dangerous emissions tremendously. The success of the program was made possible through the combined effort of the nation's Automotive Combines, which introduced dozens of affordable models throughout the nation. While most citizens are able to afford these new vehicles, the government was quick to offer special grants for the purchase of an electric vehicle, as long as the citizen in question traded in his old vehicle. The older vehicles would not be trashed and forgotten; instead, the materials and metals from the recycled objects would be used in the numerous public works and architectural projects.

 

[Defensive Preparations *sic*]

 

As one of the largest military build-ups in Persian history continued, extensive work on the Persian defensive network continued. Throughout the nation, hundreds of AESA systems were installed; while, hundreds of mobile systems were dispatched around the Empire. In the end, one aspect of the Empire's defenses would consist of a three layered defense network. In conjunction with this, thousands of surface to air missile systems were dispatched throughout the nation. A large bulk of these would be dispatched in the mountainous regions of the country; while, others were dispatched in hardened, retractable silos.

 

In the plains of the Empire, thousands of anti-personnel and anti-armour mines were dispatched. These mines would be deactivated during peacetime.

 

A SOSUS would be established in the coastal regions of the Empire, with numerous mines being dispatched.

[A New Life]

 

It was a time of change, and it was a time of glory. Throughout the Empire, massive construction projects stretched as far as the eyes could see. From the ashes, the outer shells of the new modernized cities could be seen. As times passed, these empty, metal shells would turn into functioning buildings. Technology was brought to the forefront inside of these new cities, which numbered in the dozens. Futuristic 3D billboard advertisements, spiraling highways, and various other technological wonders dotted these sprawling cities. "Decadent spending for no reason at all.", some declared inside of the Imperial Senate. However, Emperor declared that no expense shall be spared for the rejuvenation of his Empire. A majority of the population supported these projects as a step towards the right direction.

OOC: 2/7 Maldives

 

Persian Forces began to spread out to capture strategic areas of the Maldives. Troops began to move forward, to capture important assets such as air fields and important bases of operations. With word of the Persian incursion spreading, thousands took to the streets in protest. Soldiers were greeted with rocks and various other signs of opposition. However, Imperial Command ordered that no soldier open fire, unless fired upon. How long that lasted would depend entirely on the population.

[Top Secret to Persian Empire, Encrypted]

 

We noticed you landed on the Coco Islands. Just wondering if there's a particular reason you seem to have an interest in the Indian Ocean islands. Also, since you're now in the neighborhood and I assume you will be claiming the islands, do you think you'll have any interest in joining SEATO?

 

Regards,

King Wangchuck

OOC: I too did not notice this until today.

 

The landings were first noticed by radar installations in the Andaman islands, the islands had been used occasionally for temprorary reasons by many nations so it was not unheard of, but through SATINT, the Imperium soon realized the forces did not appear to be there temporarily, the Sendai, a destroyer escort, would be sent to hail the forces upon the islands.

 

"Who are you and what are you doing in this area in the world?" would be the first questions asked.

Upon receiving the transmission, the Persian Commander would send a brief response. "We are the 1st Airborne Division of the Persian Armed Forces. We are conducting a security operation in the area. Be advised, this operation will not bring harm to the your nation."

We are actively moving into the region to prevent foreign powers from establishing an unwanted foothold. Be advised, we mean no harm with the operations we are carrying out. In regards to SEATO, we would like to initiate further discussions.
