[/b][i]"Molakia once ruled these lands, but under there regime our country went nowhere. We were a mockery in Europe, and very unstable. Apart from some limited military developments the islands economy wasn't properly developed and promptly feel under the collapse of military development. Our country was a 3rd world pariah in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. This will not repeat, under my leadership I will foster this isolated chain of islands into a proper 1st world power. That much I promise you, that much I shall deliver...But first, I must eat, so if you'll excuse me that will be all for today. My press secretary will handle any further questioning, and will release further statements on my behalf."

[/center][i]
"Firstly, the progress on the initial development manifesto has gone smoothly. All projects are being completed on schedule, and even more so ahead of our original time-table of completion. Initially we thought the project would be done in just over two weeks. But at our current rate the developments should be done within a few days. Our laborers are working diligently too complete this task and should be a model of working spirit and fervor. Furthermore, our effort too eliminate remaining traces of the Molakian presence on the island have gone well. Various military weapons and designs have been ceased and either scrapped, or will be incorporated into further military designs after extensive remodeling of our current equipment."

[/center][i]
"Now, I have one final thing to note...or rather announce for the first time. President Moshum has instructed me to release his first official Presidential mandate for the nation. All current inhabitants will be instructed to give up a sampling of there blood to be stored in a DNA database hidden in a remote location and firmly locked away. In addition, all future residents will be required to give a sampling for the database upon immigration or birth in the country. This DNA database will be used to assist the police in the tracking of criminals, and domestic terrorists. Lastly, this DNA sampling and database will be completely owned and operated by The Government...and may be subject to various other uses."

"[i]Construction on Project Manifesto #1 has been completed, all services are running at full capabilities and online. The development of these national assets will contribute to the long-term growth of our young nation, and I am pleased to note that President Moshum will pay all workers on this project a bonus of $5,000 florins for there speedy efforts. Now, I have another announcement to make concerning our naval forces. Currently, our navy is rather small but as we speak engineers are working on developing blue-prints for a new fully armed navy. Progress of course will take time, but it will result in a state of the art naval force capable of projecting it's power world-wide as well as completely secure our territorial waters and beyond. Thus greatly improving our national security and projective power, which will be a major achievement in the New Palma Republic.[/i]"
