kitex Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 [b]12/7/10[/b] Finally the healthcare debate has been settled, with it belonging in government hands as well as a pension for all citizens. Currently, the military has announced that it will increase the GSDF to 8 divisions and also begin to acquire more advanced weaponry for the military as a whole. Minister of Defense Marah Verrington, defended the increase in troop strength as well as the acquiring of advanced technology, stating that "Gardenia needs to be able to better defend itself and through increasing troop strength and acquiring advanced technologies would help us in that endeavor." Parliament has yet to vote on increasing the defense budget to cover these costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[b]12/16/10[/b] Parliament is still debating on whether or not to increase the defense budget. The Socialist Workers Party as well as its allies in the Christian Democrats and the Green Party are arguing that since Disparu has agreed to guarantee Gardenia's defense, then there should be no reason why the GSDF should be increased to 100k soldiers. However, the Conservative and Progressive Parties argue that if the country was attacked, it would be beneficial for both Gardenia and Disparu to have the same level of military technology, as to allow better synchronization in battle. In other news, the Ministry of Finance predicts that the nation will have a surplus at the end of the year of about $20 billion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
