That certainly seems reasonable.

Why do we even have a Minister of National Gendarmerie? And maybe the Ministry of Labour could be conceded as well?

Without Portfolio definitely, Junior Defence probably or probably not, National Gendarmerie should be scrapped entirely.

I do think the MoNG is rather unnecessary. It ought to be placed under Ministry of Justice or Ministry of Defence.

I would still like to get my hands on the Ministry of the Environment- I am quite knowledgeable in the subject; perhaps if the NCP gave up Environment to the CMP, they could have Labour and (if they want) Junior Defence/Without Portfolio instead?

If Blecknoia fails to get PM and we nominate Wolf and he passes, then I propose we give labour to another party. However, if Bleck passes then the Prog-Cons keep Labour.

Law and Order Improvement Act places the Gendarmerie under the joint oversight of Defence, Justice and Interior, as all three Ministries use them for different purposes. Mostly Justice though, Interior for border security and Defence as part of national defence.

I will give you the rough draft and broad strokes given that I am only going off of what I recall from Hath and my last talk on it.

For the construction of at least two large inland airbases capable of successfully housing at least one hundred and thirty aircraft of varying configuration and at least a dozen more outland airstrips capable of fielding ten to twenty aircraft a piece.

There will also need to be a service and maintenance plant and factory built within the Nation to upkeep aircraft, occasionally Aircraft suffer from repairs that in field Mechanics and their equipment cannot handle such as Wing Depression and Fuselage repair.

We will need to purchase at least to two to possibly five kilometres every sixty to a hundred kilometres along the coastland to construct wet dock facilities for the Coastal Navy and build two principle Ports for the Blue Water Navy, this will be a massive construction project likely taking Years but with the fortification of the Coastland Landscape we wouldn’t need an overconcentration of forces to man positions to repel possible invasion, We Could do successful mass deployments to individual batteries.

But this also means that the Ground Army Infrastructure and logistical basis have to companionate for the usage of the Proposed defence scheme.

Which would require the building of Outposts and Garrisons in the Immediate Vicinity of the Batteries, Apart from that there is the arming of the batteries themselves which would be equipped with various Anti Ship and Aircraft Missiles or Cannons.

Then you have what in my opinion is the best portion of any modern National Defense Plan, A Dedicated OHR relay the building of which thankfully would take considerably less time then it did originally in North America, I am uncertain of our Islands exact size but I doubt we would need over eight relays to have an over cap of all directions within the Island’s vicinity beyond traditional Radar range, There is also the construction of Dedicated Radar and Sonar Grids as well to consider for the Coastlands for immediate range detection, OHR if you know anything about it.

While it can indeed travel much further then traditional radar it often offers an incomplete and limited perspective thus you would do well to have the more traditional means as well, but it also would likely give you the first glimpse of hostile Naval Intention approaching our shores long before it arrived.

Now we move on to the Construction of Two to three dedicated Army and Naval Training Academies the size of which would likely not exceed one to two kilometres for space requirements but that also dictates a population cap to limit the spread of infectious illness and other complications that come from overcrowding.

But would require we have multiple Training Academies for these two branches or institutes to produce our Army’s Soldiers and Navies Sailors.

Me and Hath couldn’t agree upon how many Air Force training Academies there likely would be needed I recommend two to at least alleviate prior concerns that as previously stated come from overcrowding.

We now move on to heavy infrastructure and such.

Two to Four Dedicated Tank Plants will be needed to produce the number of IFV’s. BMPs, APCs and MBTs and LBTs that this Nation will need, thankfully due to our Island status we will not need an overly large Armoured force it likely wouldn’t overpass a single Battalions worth of actual Tanks but the need for IFV’s and other personal carrying vehicles will be something I would stress just for rapid ground transit and fire support for infantry units during insurrection and or possible invasion.

There will also need to be a dedicated Missile and other Ordinance and Munitions Plants constructed inland to produce everything from ammunition to the possible ICBM’s we may or may not construct in the future.

I can send you the rest of the details if you request but as I stated we are doing this shit from scratch and we will require a decent budget.

Funding will be used for research into following:-
1. Nuclear fusion technology so as to ensure we can have clean source of electricity, in possible collaboration with ITER subject to negotiations with them. However, to ensure we have upper hand in negotiations, we need to be able to show them that we can contribute significantly into the project or we will just be another one of minor contributors with worst terms. When I meet with them, it will be massively beneficial for the nation if I can show them in writing that we have large and ring-fenced budget that can be put into this research. I am hopping, after negotiations we can convince them to have majority of research done in Aurentia which would mean, in addition to increasing our employment, we also get very good research infrastructure in our nation in addition to it being inspiration for our young people to peruse carriers in science which will have long term benefits.
2. To research into better and cheaper carbon reducing technology so as to ensure we reduce our contribution to global warning as well as meet European emission targets before deadlines. I am planning to look into alternative fuels, carbon dioxide reduction and carbon dioxide removal. I am currently looking into concept, proposed by climate scientist Wallace S. Broecker and science writer Robert Kunzig, which purposes use of artificial trees, each one capable of reducing one ton of carbon per day. This technology could be huge, and produce significant revenues over long term, however if we go with this we will be competing against Columbia University, which means we need significant funding or, we wont have ability to patent and licence out the technology thus reducing our long term income significantly.
3. Various space programs including ones with significant benefits on earth such as closed ecological systems, Hibernation. treatment for reproductive disorders, artificial reproduction.
4. Various health related research including but not limited to cure for cancer, HIV as well as genetic manipulations, stem cell research, organ printing.
5. Ministry of defence's research requests.

And, this is only the top five areas we are prioritising, because of obvious constrains in our budget that I understand however there are various other areas which wont be able to get as much funding, and none at all if we go significantly below my request and we may also have to scrap funding for our priorities above. Furthermore, if I dont have sufficient bank balance to back up claims in ITER negotiations, we will end up with short end of the stick and loose on massive infrastructure gains which will benefit us for centuries to come.

1. Other means of increasing employment can be used and nuclear fusion isn't really a big deal for now. There's a lot of hype going on about it right now and it may not even work in the future. Sure, give some money to it, but we need to put the country first.
2. We do not need £40,000,000 for that.
3. The Canadian Space Agency invests £300,000,000 a year in their space program, £500,000,000 should be adequate enough.
4. The private sector can handle that fine.
5. The private sector can handle that fine along with the Ministry of Defence itself.

I can understand that. There are a number of members of the CMP I think deserve to be rewarded for their hard work and loyalty, but I am unable to do so.

I agree that the CMP and the NIFP deserve concessions as well. However, the 'leadership' should be as moderate as possible though.

I am hopping, after negotiations we can convince them to have majority of research done in Aurentia which would mean, in addition to increasing our employment, we also get very good research infrastructure in our nation in addition to it being inspiration for our young people to peruse carriers in science which will have long term benefits.
2. To research into better and cheaper carbon reducing technology so as to ensure we reduce our contribution to global warning as well as meet European emission targets before deadlines. I am planning to look into alternative fuels, carbon dioxide reduction and carbon dioxide removal. I am currently looking into concept, proposed by climate scientist Wallace S. Broecker and science writer Robert Kunzig, which purposes use of artificial trees, each one capable of reducing one ton of carbon per day. This technology could be huge, and produce significant revenues over long term, however if we go with this we will be competing against Columbia University, which means we need significant funding or, we wont have ability to patent and licence out the technology thus reducing our long term income significantly.
3. Various space programs including ones with significant benefits on earth such as closed ecological systems, Hibernation. treatment for reproductive disorders, artificial reproduction.
4. Various health related research including but not limited to cure for cancer, HIV as well as genetic manipulations, stem cell research, organ printing.
5. Ministry of defence's research requests.

And, this is only the top five areas we are prioritising, because of obvious constrains in our budget that I understand however there are various other areas which wont be able to get as much funding, and none at all if we go significantly below my request and we may also have to scrap funding for our priorities above. Furthermore, if I dont have sufficient bank balance to back up claims in ITER negotiations, we will end up with short end of the stick and loose on massive infrastructure gains which will benefit us for centuries to come.

1. Other means of increasing employment can be used and nuclear fusion isn't really a big deal for now. There's a lot of hype going on about it right now and it may not even work in the future. Sure, give some money to it, but we need to put the country first.
2. We do not need £40,000,000 for that.
3. The Canadian Space Agency invests £300,000,000 a year in their space program, £500,000,000 should be adequate enough.
4. The private sector can handle that fine.
5. The private sector can handle that fine along with the Ministry of Defence itself.

1. Nuclear fusion is a big deal, when it becomes reality and it undoubtedly will, this will be a great source of clean and efficient power. Many great minds of all superpowers are working on this, and having nuclear fusion will be greatest invention since invention of cars. We can not let this opportunist pass.
2. Not just for this but with other five priorities and administrative costs, and salaries of scientists...
3. Having ours like CSA is not bright idea, considering there are total of 13 satellites they have launched.
4. Having subsidies will most certainly encourage private investments.
5. See 4, and research overall is under funding of research not MoD.
