Greywall Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 The Federal Republic of Zambia Government Type: Federal Republic Current President: William Foster (Selected by the leaders of the Zambian Republic and the Sons of Liberty political parties) Currency: Kwacha State Language: English Population: 13 million State Motto: "Liberty or Death" Heads of State William Foster Title: President of Zambia Founder of the Zambian Republic Party and head of it's independence movement from the South African Union, Foster was born and raised in England to an English father and a Zambian mother, he lived there till the age of 14 when his mother moved back to Zambia after his father passed away from prostate cancer. Foster enrolled in Mulungushi University where he majored in Social Science. He then found the Zambian Republic Party and began campaigning for an independent Zambia. He is currently the first president of the newly found nation and will be a primary candidate in its upcoming election. Turan Vakaar Title: Vice President, Head of Foreign Affairs Vakaar is a hard nosed traditionalist, originally Vakaar was head of the Blood Brothers Militia forces plotting to free Zambia in a violent uprising before being convinced by Foster to join him instead. Vakaar is rather unpopular with progressive Zambians but extremely beloved by the conservatives for his hard stance on making Zambia a power in Africa. Vakaar is surprisingly not running for the Presidency stating he has no desire to become a head of state. Guy Holt Title: Commander of the Zambian Military Holt was born to wealthy white farmers in South Africa where he enjoyed a privileged childhood, when he turned 12 his family was forced off their farm and into Zambia where they lived in poverty. He became a mercenary and traveled the world fighting war after war to pay for his family. He came home after being invited by Foster to be head of the military for a new Zambia. Holt is cold, crude, and at times ruthless, but always loyal. He's the last person any foreign dignitary should speak to due to his grown hate of some larger world powers after fighting on the losing side of several wars, but he's the best soldier in Zambia and could be a top contender for the best soldier in all of Africa. His experience has proven well paid off as the Zambian Military has been implemented quickly to retain order in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywall Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 News New Bus transit system brings praise over Zambia Zambia's Senate passed a new bill authorizing over 14 million Kwacha towards a new public transit system. Over 130 buses will be used throughout the Federal Republic bringing in over 295 new jobs for Zambians and a much needed cross country and inner city bus system. Citizens can purchase bus fair for 5 kwacha per ride or purchase a year pass for 50 kwacha. South African Union workers and members of the ZTF can ride for free. Tougher restrictions on welfare bring anger towards Foster administration President Foster handed down one of the toughest welfare cuts in the nation's history yesterday causing several Zambians to call out in anger. Over 67.9 million kwacha is being pulled in order to cut costs to the state, making the monthly welfare check given to single parents, disabled workers, veterans of the military and mentally impaired citizens at 325.45. Some argue that the cuts were necessary as the country prepares to move forward into creating more jobs and industry while others dispute that the monthly check simply no longer meets living requirements especially in Lusaka where taxes are the highest anywhere in the nation. Foster stated "These cuts are necessary for Zambia, we found the original welfare expense to be too high and we adjusted it". Copper industry explodes Zambia could well be on it's way in being the richest nation in copper in the world, several mines and processing facilities are sprouting up all over Zambia. Copper trade is being proposed in the Senate today with the South African Union, Tanzanian Federation, Merina Empire, Sudan and even Athens being the first to be offered the large quantity of copper being mined and produced in Zambia. Several analyst state Zambia is worth over 14.5 billion yearly in copper and simply needs to export it as it could become one of the wealthiest nations in Africa. Actions The Zambian military move to secure and build an outpost on the Luangwa river in order to secure trade going up and down the river, this outpost will be manned by 50 armed men and equipped with 6 patrol boats and a Hind-D helicopter for patrols near the Tanzanian border. The outpost's primary function will be to monitor traffic in the river and provide protection for merchant vessels entering and leaving the river. An additional six Mig-21 fishbed fighter jets have been commissioned into the Zambian Airforce and began flying patrols alongside South African forces in securing Zambian airspace. When asked if the Zambian army would ever upgrade from the AK-47, Commander Holt stated "upgrade? you mean it being cheap, near indestructible and capable of operating in rough terrain coated in mud and the foulest sludge man can find isn't good enough? no I think we're fine with the old Soviet assault rifle". A Congolese man was arrested after entering the border with handgun and threatening border officials when he was denied entry for not having a passport. The handgun was a Makarov pistol and the man also had a kitchen knife stained in blood, it is unclear if the man is wanted up North by the Congo protectorate but is being held in custody for threatening a border official and attempting to smuggle in a firearm into the Federal Republic.

Greywall Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 News Economic Surge With aid from the ZTF and open trade with Merina, Zambia is finally turning a profit from it's raw mining economy. Several copper companies are putting in high annual reports and stating that the need for more workers might soon come. Mining is one of the few jobs in Zambia that pays well above the nations' minimal wage of 5.50 an hour. Success for the mining companies often mean success for Zambians. Health care reform coming Zambia's health care is one of the few things that attracts foreign immigrants to come to the country, it basically underlines that all Zambian citizens are able to receive the proper care, medicine and medical procedures to live a healthy life. But the Senate could make things harder for unemployed Zambians and anyone crossing the border hoping to pose as a citizen to receive the free health care. A new bill proposed by the Vice President would have Zambians who currently hold jobs, have disabilities, members of the military or retired from the military or state services to receive the benefits of Zambia's health care. That leaves a good 14% of the nation without health care whom are incapable of finding a job because of the economy. Vakaar stated "This new bill would bring an end to abuse within the system, we have a net loss of 5.46 million kwacha just using this health care system which is already too generous as is." Zambia's healthcare has been the subject of criticism due to poorly funded hospitals and a low income for doctors who tend to leave the country for better pay. Zambian Police want raise, better funding and better training Zambian police officers appeared before the senate asking for betting funding, training and raises. "Right now standard police officers only receive a week of training at best and are given out of date revolvers. One the first day of patrol some of these men are put in situations they are simply not prepared for. Since this Republic's founding, the Lusaka police department which employed over 345 officers which of whom patrol and keep the peace within the capital have had to use outdated equipment, confront dangerous criminals, and receive little in pay to do so." - Chief Donald Kuanda Most police officers only receive 8.95 an hour pulling over 45 to 60 hours a week to do shifts. The Senate agreed to increase funding for training and to procure better equipment but relented that pay raises are out of the question.

There will be potential cooperation with forces from the American Commonwealth, that are currently deploying into the region, and liaison personnel will be assigned to your unit to assist in command and coordination. We appreciate your support throughout this conflict, and reiterate that we hope it is ended with as little bloodshed as possible.
