The Mister was the Chairman of the Board of Consuls and stepped down earlier this week after the ‘revolutionaries’ asked for his resignation.
The past trading period some questions arised about the piece of land inbetween the countries of the Federation. “Can I buy it?” was asked a lot, but no information came from the Federals. Still, in the 55th trading period it seemed clear that the Federals were ready to give clarity on Ibisha. Virtua needed expansion, something now being realized with the help of Franklin Ibisha. This expansion is not that simple though. A lot of choices are being given to the Virtuan government, investments need to be made in resources, and Franklin Ibisha himself wants to get something for giving up his island. So while it seems simple: sell the resouces and think of a plan and Ibisha is ours.
The prices of the resources were high at the beginning, which quickly made it that the minimum resources were gathered. A good balance in resources is important as well however. After a quick calculaton by the Federal Manager a lot became clear. Due to financial aid from a few devoted Virtuans there is now a good balance for Ibisha. This balance is also good to maintain, due to a price drop in resources to under the cost price.
The setup of Ibisha, named by Franklin Ibisha, gives many opportunities. Not only the political system, but also a trading plan is needed. Quite quickly in the trading period a plan was forged by a group of high placed Virtuan citizens. A colonial board would come, leading Ibisha to growth. Franklin Ibisha is not too enthousiastic about this though. A lot of politicians that do nothing. What about Ibisha a regular city then. A lot simpler, but not everyone is convinced. Next to the political system some choices need to be made about trade as well. Legal trade in guns, gunpowder and bombs? Federal harbor? Tax free island? Still a complete trading plan is not there yet.
After about a week the complaints rained on the Board of Consuls. There is still no offer towards Franklin Ibisha, and there is quite a bit of inactivity. The same afternoon the support from the people fell away. Three Virtuan mayors and a few citizens no longer saw the Board of Consuls as their government. Without the support of the people it is hard to run a government, but also democracy has been removed. This is why I quit. The still sitting Consuls now are having a hard time. Various hospitalizations occured and people are worried and angry. There is some fighting back seen from the consuls, but the are losing it to the revolutionaries that have been banned from the public meeting rooms. Texts have also been seen on the Live Newsfeed that show the standpoint of all of the Consuls, although no news has come in over the posters of these messages. Between the bullets came a strong piece of advice from the Board of Consuls: reelection for the entire Board of Consuls, and luckily I can sit back and watch it happen now.
