Seeing as industry is state-controlled, we base salary on work completed with a minimum wage individual to each job type. So every person who's a miner as a certain minimum wage, teachers a different minimum wage, etc. But a miner who completes more work than one of his co-workers will receive more pay that month. Jobs are paid the same base wage (Differing based on the job) but Grindoligarch prefers quality over quantity and a worker who does more will receive extra while those who slack will be fired. Why do you ask?

Could you Tell me more about government control of resources and the economy in grindoligarch

The government controls business; all assets of Grindoligarch are controlled by the Grindoligarchian government. We have a booming economy that strives on technological application and efficiency; all resources are first used to improve Grindoligarch or stimulate the local economy, then stockpiled to a certain amount, and then traded. Once more I must ask; why do you ask? I assure you we are a reliable trading partner, and if this is an ideological thing; we only control the businesses to keep competition and corruption from getting in the way of the greater good.

It's not really ideology but it is important information for the economics of grindoligarch and interaction between Heulia and Grindoligarch now I know opening up a store might not be as favorable to a Heulia in grindoligarch.

"Of course, we would be happy to accommodate and visit your nation instead. President Flores will be dispatched shortly.
-Secritary to the President, Todd Goodmen"

President Flores sat in the chartered jet that would take them to the Vapian Colony before he would be taken to the nation of Sartinania. He looked out the window At the sea shimmering by and heard the jet engines whistling as they pulled the aircraft forward. On board the aircraft was also a TCIA agent, Special Agent Richard Witherspoon. He was on the visit to provide security and if needed other tasks. He sat in the corner, not saying a word. In his mind though he was thinking about what this small country had in store for the future. He had a feeling that the small nation would go far, after all, free armies fight better than tyrannical ones. They have more to lose. like during the Tanabonain Civil War.

President Flores was quiet as well, mostly thinking about what would be good topics and how to be as respectful as possible, though of answers to hard questions, and most of all reminded himself to have fun!

In any case though, he was nervous. The country he was headed to hadn't had that much contact with too many nations, and he wanted Tanabon to make a good impression.

After the brief layover and taking to some Vapian soldiers that were mulling around the airport, he began the flight over wilderness to the grand nation of Sartinaynia. He took a sip of his brandy, and then went to take a nap. When he awoke, they had landed in Sartinaynia. He blinked a few times and adjusted his eyes to the light before disembarking from the aircraft to meet either a crowd or reporters or a few individuals. He adjusted his black suit, and stepped out.

Flight Lieutenant Jennifer Larsson was in the process of staring the powerful, 16-cylinder engine in her F-1 as the loud roar of the foreign aircraft descended onto the landing strip, "holy mother of" she shouted to herself as the rather massive aircraft rapidly decelerated to a halt, dangerously close to the end of the landing strip. She quickly got on her radio, "F-LT Jen to ATC, a massive plane just landed, and I don't know what it is or who it belongs to, is it authorized?" she waited for a few moments before the reply came, "F-LT Jen, this is ATC, the landing was authorized, although highly unexpected, if you are still on the ground, please see if they are willing to come out" Jen nodded to herself and grabbed her service rifle from it's stowage, "Affirmative ATC, F-LT Jen out". Shutting down the engine once more, Jen, climbed out of her seat and slung the rifle over her shoulder, "Whoever decided we pilots needed full service rifles really needs to get their stuff together" she thought to herself as she approached the aircraft, half running under in her full flight gear as one of the doors opened, revealing a well dressed man in a black suit, ready to step down in the asphalt.

As the man touched down on the ground, Jen approached him from his left with her rifle over her shoulder and her helmet under her right arm letting her fairly long, blonde hair fly in the wind, "hey!" she shouted, somewhat startling the man, but gaining his attention, "Who in the blazes are you, and what are you doing on my runway?"

This is why I mentioned we weren't looking for investors. But we'd have no problem with a Heulia opening a store supervised by Grindoligarch. We'd be willing to create ports were Heulias can trade their goods either under Grindoligarchian enforcement or with Grindoligarchian controlled sectors.

What exactly would they be enforcing? I would assume safety laws, but anything else?

Uh... Hey?

Flores backed off, an expression of confusion and surprise on his face. He had not expected anything of this sort to be what he saw when he disembarked from the aircraft. A woman, clearly in some branch of the armed forces, most likely a pilot, greeting him with a rifle and A quizzical attitude. He backed away for a second, before the TCIA Operative exited the aircraft with his hand in his coat, holding the grip of his 1903 Hamerless. Witherspoon spoke with the calm but blunt tone.

"Ma'am, please put the gun on the ground. This is The President of the United States of Tanabon, President Daniel Flores. Please do as I say, I don't want anyone to get hurt. And please tell me, who might you be?"

Flores, seeing as he wasn't in as much of a danger of getting shot now smiled warily at the Woman.

"Yeah, I'm from Tanabon. We were supposed to meet someone from your nation here to forge relations, after all, democracies have to stick together, an I right?" He turned around and looked at Witherspoon.

"Richard, take your hand off your gun, please. We don't want to antagonize anyone."

Witherspoon was locked onto the female on the airstrip, his eyes peering through the sunglasses on his face. His emotions on his face were unmoving as he took his hand off his gun, but inside the anxiety was up there. He nodded at Flores.

The two stood awkwardly for a moment, before asking "so, uh... what happened? Are we at the wrong runway? I apologize if that's the case. So, your in the military? I was as well, one of the best times of my life, other than my new job, of course." Flores let out a nervous chuckle, and hopes to God that he didn't slip up.

A new statistic about voter turnout in the election for Regent in January have been released which enlighten the questionable election of Leader to the office of Regent in the Republic of Heulia. This new figure shows that in the 2019 Election for Regent voter turnout was at an all time low, with only 23% of the eligible population voting in the election for either candidate. Many felt that the election was rigged from the start and this has not been a long standing belief among Heulians although this idea isn't new. This belief may have been one of the reasons for low voter turnout even though there was no evidence of foul play or corruption in this election. The former regent of Heulia Kenrick Grunewald did reveal corruption during his last election finding that his first election had been manipulated, allegedly without his knowledge. That election and other past elections may be the reason that those who are capable of voting choose not to, not seeking to vote in an election they found meaningless, or risk having their homes raided by police for choosing the "wrong" choice or for monitoring the polls. lThere was for the second time a call for Leader to either make voting a compulsory or to ban elections entirely which was first suggested days into the election and has now become a subject of national debate. The new has not changed his stance on the issue and says he believes the nation should remain a Democracy, but people aren't so sure. Leader has stated he wishes to deal with more significant issues, and believes voter turnout is fine at 23% stating "It is no issue that the Heulian people choose not to vote, it is their right, and no one should take it away, the power belongs to the people, and not to the government, if they were forced to vote they would vote for someone they do not want. If they wanted a different candidate, if they wanted a third party candidate than I would not be standing before you, someone else would be. Some say they want a third party to win, that they hate those in office, and that they hate politicians but every year the same people get elected. Either they don't believe in the system, they don't believe in themselves, or they don't believe in telling us the truth in who they want to see represent them. I believe in the system, I believe in the system, and I believe in the Truth". Leaving an impression of incompetence that hasn't improved since the campaign although this is being called by some "simplicity".
