Construction of the Kadiko-Calidian Friendships Bridge commences with a Grand Ceremony
Rurikgrad - In a grand ceremony that took place earlier today the Supreme Leaders of both the Democratic Republic of Kadikistan and the People's Socialist Republic of Calidia, Glorious Leader Marshall Nikolai Leninov and People's President August Martz, symbolically placed the first bricks of what will be a bridge between Rurikgrad and Aberdwyff. The latter is the industrial heart of Calidia and the small nation's largest city only 30 kilometres away from the capital of Dubsbury. Immediately after the ceremony was concluded the first shift began for the strong construction workers preforming their daily duties. Once completed the bridge will include 4 lanes of vehicle traffic and 2 railway lines of no less than 19 kilometres long and 60 metres high. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 1959 as the workers and engineers will work around the clock with the finest materials our vast nation has to offer. Once completed the project will not only greatly increase the economic relations between Kadikistan and Calidia, but it will also be a permanent mark of prestige for both the People's Government's of Calidia and Kadikistan.
The economic and financial cost of the 'People's Bridge of Friendship' is expected to be roughly one billion grads, but our Glorious Leader reassured the construction workers and party members present during the ceremony that it was essential to assure the strong connection between Kadikistan and Calidia. This bridge will also form a strong fist against other nations in the Gothic Sea region who seek to undo the progress that has been made for the proletariat in the past two years. Nations like Trivodnia, which has recently stepped up its hostile rhetoric towards Kadikistan by threatening to abandon its neutrality and moving closer to the Trier Concordat, are expected to react fiercly. They will not understand that the existence of the bridge will not only greatly benefit the population of both Kadikistan and Calidia, but also indirectly increase the regional economy and fortify the position of the Gothic Sea in international trade. Other nations such as Ivernia and Lauenburg will also protest, but even though the first is a fascist-imperialist state and the latter has more than once expressed its desire to retake Calidia from the hands of its people, they will fail in their attempts to end our successes.
Besides celebrating the initiation of the construction of the grand bridge a spokesperson for the People's Government announced that loyal members of the Kadikistani Communist Workers' Party will be allowed to travel to Calidia with all expenses paid for by the State for no less than one week of leisure. These first forms of paid vacations are part of a new experiment to increase the productivity of the workers and the farmers. Citizens will be rewarded for their hard work during the year by one week of vacation in a beautiful location in Kadikistan or abroad. With such ingenuity we are sure that our nation will triumph over any difficulties that we might face as a result of the Global Social-Capitalist Conspiracy.
