- For the record, I want our tithe to be paid from multiple sources, PDF, Ogryn, Crops, Vehicles, other industrial products and
- Medicine derived from those flowers.
- I've an idea, how about we establish an officer's academy or something of the like, with resources designed to train officers,
- specialists and the like?
- I want our PDF leadership to be held to a higher standard than other worlds, with rank being held solely by preformance, in addition,
- the specialists to be a big help, with combat enginseers and medicae and the like helping out locally during peacetime.
- Kinda like a Schola Prognium, designed solely for the PDF.
- With the promethium cleansing and the genetic screening, the genestealers threat should be mostly neutralised, however we should
- instate annual manditory genetic screenings for all members of the government and military, top-down.
- As for the orcs and any genestealer/tyranid survivors, just put out an adivsory notice of any supicious behavior and to contact the
- government.
- Institute a underground/tunnel fighting training regieme in the sewers of all major population centres, and contact the Iron Dragons
- for any advice dealing with tyranid infestations. (also ask the tithe guy for the same info)
- assure him that, in the meantime, we're conducting genetic screenings of any military personel and government employess, and are
- putting a alert for suspicious activity.
- Release a primer or something on identifiying infiltrations to the public, and put out a general alert.
- Also let's try establishing a research facility devoted to improving agriculture, and creating better strands of crops.
- Try getting our hands on some more crops and flowers and shit, they'll not only provide immediate benifit, but could also go towards
- a royal garden to boost tourism.
- One of the most imporant parts of the spaceport we need to upgrade is the security, cargo scanners, genetic screenings, that kind of
- thing, we should also train our spaceport staff to detect infiltrators and their ilk.
- Could the improved scanners be used for that kind of thing? I'd want them to be able to detect cargo and any xenos lifeforms.
- Also we'll want to renovate the customs office, as not only will that help against smuggling and infiltration and the like, but will
- probably remove any corrupted officials (by greed or otherwise) and will probably increase offworld revenue.
- Get it all, also see if we can construct a joint University/Officer's academy, let's try and get our hands on skilled
- biologist/agricultualists to help improve our crops, and check over who we have appointed as the head of our agricultural ministry.
- If we manage to construct a joint university/officer's academy, see if we can get some former guard officers/soldiers to help run it,
- not only will they provide valuable first hand experience with guardmans operations and combat and the like, but they'll also be able
- to advice us on military matters.
- Hence we get some promising PDF to be our bodyguard, see how much it'd take to equip a dozen PDF in capace + hotshot lasguns, it's a
- show of support trust for our people, and it gets us some bodyguards for cheap. (It's gonna be WAY chearper to get some suits of
- carapace + hotshots than it is hiring RT mercs.)
- Naturally the bodyguard applicants will be put through extensive testing, phyiscal, loyalty, genetic screening and the like.
- Okay, fit the guns with targeters, and get some Frag and Krack grenades for each man, along with meltabombs, incase of heavy
- vehicles, 5 medipacs and any other equipment they might need.
- No I mean Designate a command chimera for our personal use, THEN add extra weapons and armour.
- It'd probably be slower, but it'd also be more effective in deterring a fight.
- etween the various herbs and flowers we bought from the Rouge Trader, we should have an abudant supply of natural medicines, we
- should start a pharmecutical company specializing in medicines to sell, with the large amount of casualties the IG sustaines,
- medicines should be in perpetual demand.
- See into the feasbiltiy of constructing an art school, with a large amount of artisans not only can we make a profit of the art
- pieces, but we could also use them to help build are budding tourism industry.
- For education, see about a policy for allowing free higher education, with the condition that any takers have to work for a number of
- years equal to their education.
- You said our biggest industry is mining, correct? Exactly what are we mining? Low value ores? High Quality gems? Anything Rare? Look
- into establishing refieries, valuable metals and gems can be used to create jewlery and artwork, less common metals can be used for
- industrial production.
- We've got a lot of unused land, let's use some of it for cattle rancing, we can then sell authentic beef, just like Holy Terra used
- to make!
- Fishing; Sure we can sell the fish via commerical fishing, but Tourism fishing can make tonnes of revenue for a fraction of the
- catch.
- Forestry can produce lumber used for high grade luxury items, we can sell woodworks to industrial worlds and places where trees don't
- grow anymore for huge profit.
- Lets offer some tax deductables to households with children.
- Here's an idea, when we get the Uni/Art School/Military Academy up and running, we can sell attendent slots to offworlders (at a
- large markup of course, as they're not native citizens.) Not only can this make us some money, but the children of nobles who study
- here might be sutibaly impressed with the planet and could increase tourism.
- Ideally I'd want to start goverment to start up nationally run businesses across all sectors, but for the moment we should try
- starting a nationally run pharmicutical company, stating the need to help the quality of our healthcare.
- Graduates from the art academy could be put to use creating artwork used to help improve the planet's attractiveness as well as sold
- to offworld collectors, we could divert some resources from our mining and lumber for little to no noticble impact as it'd require
- less resources than exporting resource in bulk.
- If we combine the Miltiary Academy/Art College/University together they should be more efficent sharing resources than apart.
- Naturally the Military Academy should have some off campus areas for training and the like.
- You could argue that not all businesses should be privately run, since pharmecuticals directly impacts healthcare, you could argue
- that it's an essential industry.
- Privately run businesses will produce less revenue than nationally owned ones, private businesses only contribute their taxes to our
- coffers, while nationally owned businesses contribute pretty much their entire profit.
- Giving private companies first pick means the government is getting the castoffs, we should be aiming to get the best talent wherever
- and whenever possible
- Here's an idea, we let the private companies run non essential industries, and when a business screws up and goes bankrupt, we buy it
- out and nationalize it.
- If the private sector complains they can only blame themselves, "We wouldn't've bought out the company if they didn't already run it
- into the ground."
- Not only does this get our hands on some businesses on the cheap, but it also acts as a deterrent for screwing up.
- Things like Water, Power and Mass transit we should try to keep a tight grip on (Enron blackouts), but for acquiring new companies we
- should do so by acquiring shares, corporate buyouts and the like, we should try to be *fair* about it, something the previous govoner
- wasn't.
- No conscription for the time being, only do so if we're under attack or something. "Not necessarily conscription but conscription if
- necessary" should be the policy.
- Build the combined Edu-centre, name it after someone universally liked, and dedicate it to the fallen defending our world or
- somesuch, patriotic as it were.
- Personally I don't want to focus too much on the Primarchs, we should focus focus on the Emprah, have a couple of Vulkan, as he's our
- world's patron Primarch, and some Religious figures with universal appeal and non-threating doctrine, like St. Emelia, who preached
- compassion.
- Basically relgious stuff that won't offend anyone, thus we get brownie points for being pious, but we don't piss off anyone in
- exchange.
- Profit sharing; it's a good thing.
- We should also seek to provide extended benifits to government workers, to lure more talent.
- Free public transit passes, extended healthcare benifits, create goverment run shops that specifiaclly cater to government employees
- and families, by offering them discounts as well as tax free goods from there. (with a monthly limit, to prevent people from buying
- the goods and reselling them for a profit) Non-Government families can also shop there, but they have to pay normal prices and taxes.
- Retirement benifits are also something to look into.
- See into establishing Goverment run vacation/tourism sites, with benfits/discounts to government families, with other paying full
- price
- Note these benifits also apply to PDF and our guardsmen stationed here, which we then advertise when recruiting.
- General corruption and the like are actions causing direct harm to the government, and thus treason, i'm not saying we BLAM every
- governemt employee that screws up (accidental screwups shouldn't be punihsed, as long as they learn from it, if we lose an empolyee
- every time someone screws up, we run out of employees, we treat our employees as Thrawn does, NOT Vader.)
- We should be giving governemnt employees good benifits to encourage recruitment, but we should also punish them harser than private
- sector employees since we hold our people to a higher standard. Carrot and Stick.
- What're the repercussions of adding fertility drugs to Ogryn supply shipments?
- They get needed supplies, we get more Ogryn's.
- Under the guise of protecting yourself against resurgant Xenos attacks, fortify the main population centres. Dig In.
- Since there's a Daemon World nearby, and we've done plenty of training against nomal Humans and Xenos, we should work some anti-CSM
- in there incase the Great Enemy sends their unholy champions against us.
- Begin contingency plans with the ID's
- We make a movie about the overthrowing of the corrupt governer.
- Typical hollywood action movie, former govenor a ruthless tyrant, scheming along with his cronies with the evil tau for personal
- gain, with the resistance as brave heroes fighting to keep their world, with an obligitory romance, ending with the corrupt dictator
- overthrown, and a good, well functioning governemt established at the end, at the end it'll be dedicated to "the brave heroes who
- saved our world".
- It'll make huge money on this world, paint us AND the resistance in a favourable light, which will boost relations with them, and
- it'll make the ex-govoner and his cronies look even more dispicable, we can even sell distributing rights to other planets in the
- sector to make more money!
- It's revenue and propaganda in one neat package!
- I didn't mean it as literal propaganda, more like a action flick that takes VERY generous liberties with the souce material, like The
- Patriot, Braveheart, or 300.
- Action movie where the sides are obvious black and white, good triumphs over evil, standard hollywood fare.
- Resistance are the Rebel Alliance/Americans/Scottish, Empire/British is the govener, and our government is the New Republic.
- I forgot to mention, Grow the mystery seeds in seperate, isolated greenhouses, preferably on one of those isolated islands, that way
- if any of the seeds are dangerous, they can't spread.
- Equip each greenhouse with flamers, if some plants try to go catachan, torch the entire thing, better to lose 1 greenhouse than have
- a deathworld.
- Later we should grow the seeds in the isolated greenhouses with conventional crops and the new wheat to see if they advesely affect
- them.
- Only plant seeds that aren't harmfull and don't overwhelm the ecosystem outside of the greenhouses, after they've been tested
- throughly.
- Let's also use those isolated islands as harsh enviromental training, we can train with the Astartes there and by ourselves, the
- harsh climate should help them in future engagements.
- Those flowers have an amazing potential for Pharmecudical uses, let's get to work trying to develop medicine from them, if we can
- get our hands on an efficient healing drug, we can not only sell it, but also use it to pay for guard tithes.
- We should also use the Flowers along with the mixed plant seeds and domestic flora to start some kind of royal garden in the
- capital, which we can use to attract tourists.
- Public work camps: For anyone unemployed, send them to public work camps, constucting public works, new levies, beautifying the
- cities, the works.
- Pay them a small salary and give them free food and logings. Food will be eaten out of mess tents, and housing can be government
- owned tenements. (Assign a small security detail to the district to prevent crime)
- Offer them free night classes to learn basic trades, nothing advanced, but enough to get them a better job.
- Do a lot of PDF recruiting from these places, while still maintaining our recruitment standards.
- Hopefully this'll lower/remove unemployment, while at the same time, provide an incentive to get a better job.
- (These jobs aren't designed to be luxurious, merely a way to get them off the street and on the way to a better job.)
- We want to get as many people off the streets as possible as homlessness contributes to crime and hinders tourism, so instead of
- letting the mentally ill wander the streets, put them into asylums.
- The goal wouldn't be to have cheap labour, it'd be to get people off the streets, the reason for substandard conditions and pay would
- be to encourage them to get REAL jobs (hence the nightclasses).
- It's basically for anyone who can't get a job until they can get a job, so it's basically labour for welfare.
- We get people off the streets, we get some shit built, and they can get the resources needed to get better jobs, win-win-win.
- An idea; do we have a large body of open water near the capitol? If we don't we should see about the possiblity of using the
- empoyment camps to construct an artifical lake nearby, like 100-150km from the outskirts.
- Gives the tourists a nearby place to go yachting, swimming, fishing, do shit on the beaches, camping and the like.
- (For the record I envisioned the labour camps as some kind of New Deal thing, not some horrible dictatorship thing.)
- Fine, but we should ramp up the penalties for petty crime, squatting and the like, the goal of this project is to eliminate vagrancy,
- as rich tourists don't want to see panhandlers.
- Rather than just increasing punishments, how about we create information centers. Create an information and promotional ad campaign
- detailing its virtues and uses (Free food and lodgings, free job training!)
- Also lets start recruiting heavily for the PDF amognst the lower income neighbourhoods, desperate people are more likely to sign up,
- extoll the benifits of working for the PDF, free education, gov't benefits and the like.
- Since these people are so freaking reactionary with anything negative, let's bombard them with positive crap, if they refuse the
- stick, we'll shove so many carrots down their throat that they'll choke.
- We have a budding tourism industry, we should try to nuture the hell out of it.
- Is there any way to modify our sewage plants and have them produce fertilizer?
- Here's an Idea, when the Art School is open, sponsor an end of term/year project/contest where the winner of each category (cooking,
- music, painting, sculpture, ect) gets their works put on display/served/played/whatever. (Sculpture in the city square, winning dish
- served by the winner at an important event, ect) Do it in a public ceremony as a "sponsoring the arts" program, and offer them a
- small monetary prize.
- This gains the students some reknown and prestiege for when they leave school, and gets us some nice art peices on the cheap, AND
- gets us known as a patron of the fine arts.
- Did we implement the idea of a government sponsored free education, where you work for the governemnt for an equal amount of years
- after you graduate, and idea of offering extended benifits to all government employees (NOT labour camp, Healthcare, Dental,
- discount/duty free shopping at gov't stores ((with set limit based on household size, ect))?
- Here's an idea, request the techmarine and apothecary for advice on training/running our enginseers/medicae.
- We ask them to see if there's any ideas they'd like to implement, and if they will so, have them help form lesson plans and the like.
- How about we put some of that farmland to good use, and start up some vineyards to produce amasec, high quality amasec could be sold
- for significant sums as a luxury item.
- Experiment with diffrent types of grapes and different cilmates and soil types to have a variety. (Icewine!)
- Hmm, I didn't think about themes, I just pictured at the end of the year/term, everyone submitted something (if they entered) to
- their perspective category, and the winner of each category got their creation put on display and got an award/prize (So there'd be a
- winner for painting, another for suclpting, another for cooking, one for music, ect.)
- I think we can do this, but remember, this planet is 10% larger than earths, and less than half the population, we have a LOT of room
- to work around with (Especially since the population density of Imperial cities seems to resmble downtown Tokyo on steroids rather
- than rural Idaho.)
- Honestly I think the planet should be a genreral planet, we've got a *lot* of room, so we should have enough space for tourism,
- agriculture, AND industry
- I thought we already implimented the failure buyout program?
- Do we have a government runn lottery? We can divert some of the profits to public works projects, and the rest can go into our
- treasury (And we can advertise how well the lottery is doing for the community, too!)
- Here's an idea, ask if skilled resistance members/leaders are willing to teach at the Officer's Academy lessions for conducting
- unconventional warfare.
- This shows the that we place our trust in the Resistance and we get our officers a thorough grounding in a field they might be
- lacking in.
- If news of the arrangement were to 'leak' to the media, so much the better.
- Naturally he gets all the benefits of an instructor as long as he's working there of course (Salary, gov't employee benefits, the
- works.)
- Who the hell's a slave? I just hired me an expensive bodyguard.
- Bloody hell, even after accidently poisoning us, he's STILL bitching at us. I don't know why we even purchased a Xenos slave in the
- first fucking place.
- In the future, no slaves, no xenos shit, any time we do ANYTHING people still complain about it.
- When it comes to people, I look for talent and I want the best of the best, when I hire a bodyguard, I want the best of the best,
- what I am doing is not buy a slave, I'm hiring a bodyguard, one of the best around.
- I thought it presumptious to ask an Astartes to serve as my bodyguard, so I went for the next best thing.
- Nevertheless he will be properly compensated for his service and the like. The money I paid was not for his ownership, but rather a
- signing fee to his agent.
- Is it possible to use our navy (We do have a navy, right) to provide support to the people in the city? Aircraft carries, bombardment
- and the like.
- Have the people in the city skirmish and attempt to buy time, rather than trying to kill enemies until reinforcements arrive.
- Put that Resistance training to good use, as it were.
- Obviously we need to increase our manufacturing capacity, especially in regards to building supplies/equipment. The faster/cheaper we
- can build improvements, the better.
- We should start distributing information about personal recycling and shit, and have stiff fines for illegal pollution, as well as
- offering subsidies to businesses that have effective recyling programs up.
- By reducing pollution and keeping our planet clean, we naturally help out our toursim.
- Kinda iffy on the Sisters and Smurfs, they're inflexible attitute is bound to conflict with the planet's more... liberal culture.
- (In the future, you might want to have the opening text in a pastebin file and just link it in the opening post, it'll save you a
- bunch of time making all those posts, and we'll be able to start the thread 75 minutes earlier judging by the delay of this threa.)
- Anyways, that Deathworld in the system, I think we should send our Special Forces there for some harsh enviro training, the sending
- the entire PDF would be too much of a hassle, and seeing as their main duty is to defend a planet not nearly as harsh would seem
- rather wasteful, however, sending our PDF there might toughen them up even more, and improve on their unconventional warfare.
- Who doesn't want Catachan Stormtroopers after all?
- The recycling/pollution improvement could likely be somewhat allieved with an information campaign to increase recycling/reduce
- pollution, increased fines for pollution and subsides for more enviromentally safe methods/research, I for one would like to build
- the mag rails, as having multiple starports in our cities seems like a way to increase our vulnerabilty to foreign infiltrators, I'd
- much rather increase the size of our main starport, allowing it to handle more traffic, and putting all filtering all potential
- subversives through one point. (Naturally the spaceport's security would also get a huge upgrade.)
- Check as to the reason why our advanced sensors failed, they're specifically designed to detect sealth ships.
- We should also use some money to improve our roads, 10c sounds pretty damn cheap to me.
- I envisioned it as a university, specifically catering to the Academics and With the Art school covering the arts, and the Military
- Academy running like a Non-Ecclessiarchy Schola Prognium, with more of a focus on military aspects and little to no coverage of
- relgious ones (There's an onsite chapel of course, but theology would be left outside of the official cirriculum).
- Withouht a heavy sisterhood presence the Military Academy would focus on supplying the specialists of the Guard/PDF, Combat
- Enginseers, Officers, Commissars and the like.
- Everyone trained at the military academy would get a through gounding of *practical* combat with a nice suppliment of unconventional
- warfare. None of this meatgrinder warfare bullshit.
