That's the new policy.

  • Slowing Down Economic Expansion

    Our factories and farms produce more than enough for every citizen. I propose we scale back unnecessary economic growth
    to focus on maintaining what we have already built.
    Encourage more rest and leisure for our people, giving workers time to enjoy life, develop their talents, and deepen their
    connections with family and community.

  • Reduced Dependence on Vat Plants

    The vat plants have been a triumph of science, ensuring that no child is born into disadvantage. However, with our
    population stable and thriving, I advocate for reducing reliance on these facilities. Let’s cherish the natural, human way of
    raising families while keeping vat plants available for those who need them.

  • Embracing a Slower Pace of Life

    Promote policies that encourage less rush and more reflection in daily life. Work smarter, not harder, and take pride in the
    simple joys of existence.
    Strengthen the four-hour workday option for elderly comrades who, like me, still wish to contribute but at a comfortable pace.

  • Deepening Autarky

    The Arctic Lands has become a model of self-sufficiency, producing everything we need within our borders. I propose we strengthen
    this system by further reducing reliance on imports and supporting local industries and crafts.

  • Honoring Our Elders

    Expand opportunities for the elderly to stay active and involved in community life, whether through work, education, or cultural contributions.
    Ensure that every elder feels valued and respected for their lifetime of service to the Arctic Lands.

    Vote for comfort. Vote for reflection. Vote for wisdom.
