The Provisional Government has rebuffed calls from the Reconstruction Group to initiate a planned settlement plan that would stipulate compulsory settlement territories for the thousands of citizens of the former Anti-State that continue to flock into Touzen Territory under the Right of Return Policy. Leading voices from within the Reconstruction Group had said that only decisive government intervention could ensure a sustainable distribution of returning citizens without leaving certain areas anemic and others at the verge of collapse due to a lack of adequate services, housing and jobs.

Already, areas that have been colloquially termed as "slums" have formed in the outskirts of Shinkyô, where a majority of the population movement from former territories of the Anti-State as far away as the former Himyari Trust have found themselves, unable to secure proper housing in the metropolis proper. Metropolitan authorities have promised the realization of emergency housing projects, but with budgets still under strain from the collapse of Post-Delegationism and much of the domestic trade regime that had dominated the autarkic economic model of anti-statist Touyou dysfunctional following the collapse of the former Anti-State dysfunctional, government services are currently focused on key areas needed for maintaining the core of Touzen statehood, while private sector actors have increasingly wrestled their way into the emerging gaps left by former community run cooperatives. Takahara Housing in particular is said to have profited massively from the construction of makeshift shelters in open territories outside of Shinkyô, where returnees are able to secure basic housing for a price.

While the government has rejected a heavy-handed approach to the issue of population distribution, the cabinet will convene later this afternoon in an attempt to gain consensus between the different groups forming the government of national unity to incentivize farming programs in the former Jurchen Republic, now the Western Continental Territories of Touzen, in the hopes of incentivizing more refugees to settle in the province and form self-sufficient farming estates that would both secure a living for refugee families as well as make a contribution towards securing societal food needs throughout the upcoming year, particularly if more former Anti-Statist citizens will opt to relocate to Touzen.
