Introduction
By Edward Reed
Running a nation is no small
commitment. It requires hours of hard
work and dedication. When I was elected
to this post I knew little of the time it
would take out of my life. Meeting with
advisors, drafting bills, and of course being
an advisor to TLR alliance, along with
being a deputy of development take up
most of my time. I bring this up because
of my decision to endorse this newspaper.
During my busy schedule there is little
time to address the public on all that goes
on in our great nation. So by endorsing
the Plutonian Herald I hope to give our
citizens an informed and accurate
newspaper. Thank you for your time and
enjoy.
Signed
Chairmen Edward Reed
Rebuilding Complete
It left 400,000 dead, cost hundreds of
millions of dollars, and lead to massive
destruction. The true cost of the war will never
be known, many of those who died in the
nuclear strikes left little to no remains. The
BFF-Sentinel front, though a minor
confrontation in the large global war around it,
consumed hundreds of nations fighting each
other for reasons that were lost to the ages. It
is regarded as the bloodiest war in Plutonian
history and to commemorate those lost
Chairmen Reed commissioned a war memorial
to be built.
The BFF-Sentinel War Memorial was completed on February 1st, 2012 and cost roughly 27million
dollars to make.
With the war behind us Plutonia set about
rebuilding and, just a few weeks ago
reconstruction on the National Highway
System was finished and with that done
every rebuilding project has been
completed. Not only have we repaired
what we lost but we have also improved
upon existing structures. The future looks
bright for Plutonia!
Economic Advisory Committee Report
December-April
With the opening shots of the war fired,
stocks plummeted as citizens lost
confidence in the market. Within the week
Chairmen Reed had authorized executive
order 2074 calling for the rationing of all
material deemed war essential. Once the
war started Plutonia’s industries sparked
into action as the war expanded so did the
need for the weapons to fight it. It is said
that the massive factory complexes in the
Balkans produced over 10,000 tanks an
hour.

While the Lufthansa Airplane Factory
produced hundreds of F-22 Raptors and
Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bombers, during
the final months of the war the high tech
factories of Lufthansa were knocked out
and they were forced to manufacture a
previous model (Su-30 MkIII)
. This
bomber’s manufacturing cost is around 1.3 million € a plane and during the war Plutonia made 2365 of them
Getting all of this equipment to the front
lines was quite an undertaking. The heart
of the Plutonian Guard’s Supply line lay
near the large coal deposits of Alsace-
Lorraine. The trains, normally carrying
peaceful citizens became converted to
hauling war equipment to the various
fronts.
A train leaving the station became a common occurrence with one leaving every 53 seconds
All of this required large amounts of
money, in fact it is estimated that for every
second we fought the war it cost us
€750,000. As the National Reserve
continued to drain, the Plutonian
government continued to aid the other
nations fighting alongside it. In total it is
estimated that Plutonia contributed 12
billion € to other nation’s war efforts.

When the peace accords where finally
signed aboard the PSS Draco Ω the damage
to the economy was not only seen in the
reduced cash reserves but in the huge
destruction of the nation’s infrastructure.
Pride of the Fleet, the PSS Draco Ω shown, here patrolling the seas, was the site of the peace signing ceremony
Roads were destroyed by bombing, power
lines had been cut by fighting and train
tracks had been rendered useless by enemy
saboteurs. With the war’s end the
economy did not improve and facing the
threat of a massive depression the
government took action. In the months
following the ending of the war Chairman
Reed and his cabinet outlined their plan
for a national recovery. With generous aid
from the Legion and other nations within
the Republic the government set about
reinvesting the money back into the
infrastructure that had been destroyed. To
rebuild the shattered nation put many
back to work and the fears of a depression
seemed like a distant memory.

rebounded slowly but is currently at levels
never seen before. With the rapid growth
draining the National Reserve and the
need for more infrastructure deemed
excessive, Chairman Reed has called for a
decrease in government funded rebuilding
efforts. However Reed has promised that
no essential services will be cut in the new
budget.

This Month We Proudly Present
Plutonia by Vladimir Obruchev
Background- A classic revisited. Out on
the Eastern Boundary of the Empire this
story comes to us from expert geologist
Vladimir Obruchev.
Summary-a story of Plutonian scientists who
travel into the northern Arctic thinking they
will discover some unknown land and it will be
a part of the empire. However, they experience
some inexplicable events during their travels:
an extremely continental deep depression into
the earth's surface near the Arctic, and warm,
fertile lands near the "North Pole", and the
strange position of the Sun. Plus, the strange
behavior of the barometer, the compass and
the altimeter. They also find primitive animals
long extinct from Earth.
The explorers realize that they have traveled to the earth's inner surface. After that, the more they go into the inner surface, which they now call " New Plutonia", the more they travel back in time and experience the flora and fauna of the different stages of Earth's history. The author, V. A. Obruchev, takes the reader through a journey that is so realistic.
Final Verdict- A classic piece of literature
that will be enjoyed once more by the
current generation of readers.
