Our priority is education -- our youth are our future, and through good education we reduce or eliminate the need to spend on a number of other items.

Education, Health Care, Law and Order

Education: I believe in the Edustate. An Edustate is a country or providence where the main goal of the government is to make sure its citizens are well informed and have access to the latest advancements in human knowledge. Studies show that a good education system leads to a good economy, low crime rates, and high tolerance.

Health Care: I focus more on diseases and the like that are infectious(F), indiscriminate(I), and deadly or crippling(L) in a physical or social way. And I won't lie to you. I have a soft spot for diseases of the mental variety, so Infectious may not matter if the disease is cerebral.
Health Care Priorities:
1st FIL/Epidemic/Pandemic
2nd FI
3rd IL
4th FL
5th I
6th F
7th L This works as a general rule of thumb. How many people suffer from the illness plays a part too.
Diseases rarely receive government funding if they are discriminate (on a persons lifestyle), not infectious, and doesn't really affect the victim.

Law and Order: I believe in a well equipped police force. A good chunk of this budget revolves around keeping police officer activities easily accessible and verifiable while keeping the activity of my citizens the same way. We strive for a police force beyond reproach.

1. Defense - Transhuman Union must afford a strong military to fight aliens if they ever come here. It is part of the diplomatic policy:
"Anyone friendly will be befriended, anyone unfriendly will be either subjugated or sanctioned."
2. Education - Transhuman Union has a technocratic government, and youth's intelligence is the most needed to encourage further innovation in technologies. Transhuman Union must strive to be most technologically advanced.
3. Industry - From energetics to metallurgy, The Union must strive to have the most manufacturing capacity in event of war. War is won by machines, not heroes.


Healthcare and Social Policy come next.

The top three national budget priorities Infrastructure, Healthcare, and Education. Defense is a distant fourth but due to its location next 2 larger nations, both of whom are its allies, the defense budget has taken a bit of a hit since independence.

National defense and law enforcement. Even when they don't get the largest share of the annual budget, they are nearly always the primary focus of government policies.

Our government's top priority is the development of our national industries, including fishing; tourism; textile manufacture and renewable energy.

To further that end, our secondary budgetary priorities are education, healthcare, and welfare. Because St. Perpetua has scarce natural resources and a poorly-educated, unskilled workforce, "human capital development" is meant to remediate our economic backwardness.

Tertiary concerns include environmental protection and law enforcement.
