Expansion of the Theian Germanic State
The Theian Germanic State completed its expansion eastward up to the Savalon River, after which the Economy Minister 'Herman Kramer' granted Energon and Aetrnus Materials large land grants (with Energon's being larger) in the nation's interior desert aside from a remaining 20% under public ownership. The land-sales and expansion eastward led to the establishment of 'Ölstadt' on the coast of the Savalon focused on shipping out oil over the river thanks to largescale Energon and AM investments in the region allowing it to fairly quickly set up extraction camps and pipelines which would one day connect the TGS' two costs with their oil fields, meanwhile the service sector also found expansion as a series of resorts lacking a line of site with the industrial sectors were established. Additionally, the TGS lowered its taxes for service companies to encourage their presence.
In the coming year Ölstadt opened its harbour consisting of 3 docks for tankers, 1 for cargo, and 2 for passenger ships while Energon began constructing solar parks on their land grants. The TGS started a major immigration and tourism campaign by funding travel and vacation agencies despite criticism that the nation's people hadn't moved to Theia just to be servants, which the TGS responded to by instating a family support package to prop up its own populace alongside a 8 year plan to expand its growing cities (including Krabhafen and 5 additional cities) while the companies set up pipelines.
