Gouw Marken
Establishing Nation
This week in East- and West-Gouw Marken
As the Revolutionary Gothic Fleet sets sail for Oostdijke, Quintus VII had to explain to the public what the status of the Military District east of the city was. Upto now, it is known, but not questioned, that a vast area was under construction to serve for the Kadiki Forces. But the OMD (Oostdijke Militair District) is a given into concession to the Kadiki Army for a period of 99 years in 1992, in the wake of the end of the civil war . The East was seeking for protection and Kadikistan saw an opportunity to help in this matter. The whole district is a sovereign part of Kadikistan within East-Gouw Marken; but the frontier is flexible: Kadikistani soldiers with the right admission can enter the city of Oostdijke, and citizens can work at the base. Within East-Gouw Marken, a special permission is needed to travel from or to Oostdijke.
West-Gouw Marken sees this special Kadikistani District as a threat to its safety. Philippus IX warns Engellex and Bourgogne for the ‘proximity of a hostile base in their back yard’. He once again calls upon all ‘free and democratic nations’ to hold on to an united Gouw Marken without the Kadikistans and the Kadikistani puppets in East-Markstad.
In Oostdijke itself preperations are made for a symbolic and glorious welcome to the ships and vessels, in presence of many important politicians and leaders from both East-Gouw Marken and Kadikistan. Some ambassadors of befriended nations were invited as well to the ceremony.
The attention for the special status of OMD is overtaking the news of the celebration of 60 years strong diplomatic ties between Kadikistan and Gouw Marken. East-Markstad has invited ‘the western part of our country to not forget what Kadikistan has done 60 years ago for our mother and fathers, when they were little children without any nutrition and health care. It is Kadikistan that has shapened our future’.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Trade of Xinhai will visit East-Gouw Marken. Due to the vast investments of the last decades, the East-Markenese agriculture is flourishing. East-Gouw Marken will invest in 2018-2023 in the food industrie. Kadikistan is named as a possible trade partner for these products, but sure Xinhai can be interested in some typical and to Xinaiese citizens ‘exotic’ agricultural products as beer, bacon and cheese.
Celebrations of Christmass in Catholic West-Gouw Marken are over and economic life starts when factories and offices opened again today. West-Gouw Marken workers do not have many rights and the unions do not have any influence. A worker has off on Sundays and an additional 11 days a year: 3 at Christmas (25-26-27/12), 3 at Easter, 1 at Pentecost, 2 in summer (14/15 August) and 2 in Autumn (01/02-11). It is impossible to choose holidays, except when in mutual understanding with the company and of course, without any payment.
