Citizens celebrate as thirteenth 5-Year Plan Overfulfilled

Mass, spontaneous rallies broke out across the Technate celebrating the over-fulfillment of the 5 year plan

The citizens of the Technate of Rhand turned out in their millions across the country in spontaneous celebration following the announcement that the Thirteenth Five Year Plan has not only been achieved on time, but actually overfulfilled across all key metrics.

This remarkable feat has seen the output of all key industrial sectors grow by at least 4% on average, while energy and heavy industrial goods have seen output increase by a phenomenal 14%. The Committee for Economic Development has announced that at the current rates of growth the Technate is officially outstripping the development curve of even the most advanced imperialist economies on Eurth. Further they project that the increasing availability of heavy industrial goods is such that the next two five year plans should be able to increase the production of secondary sectors by as much as 25%.

Despite the latest plans emphasis on heavy industrial growth the last five years have seen an astounding increase in all agricultural products, housing, clothing, furniture and other essentials of modern life. The Committee for Public Consumption have calculated that the objective living standards of the average citizen of the Technate has risen by no less than 12% over the past five years.

Such is the achievement that the Teknocrator himself issued a statement praising the hard work, diligence and determination of the Rhandic people, assuring them that at the current rate of development the Technate is well placed to become the wurld's leading economy, an event that will bring the total victory of Technocracy within reach.

In appreciation for the efforts of the populace the Teknocrator himself declared that tomorrow shall be a day of public celebration and that the soy-meal ration will be increased by 200g per person as of next week.

Oversight Committee Announces New 5-Year Plan

The Oversight Committee has announced that after a period of intensive consultative discussions between the Chairmen and the Teknocrator that the priorities of the next 5 year plan have now been agreed. The new plan will continue to strengthen Rhand’s key industrial sectors with a renewal of the growth budget for the energy, mining, construction materials, textile, and heavy plant sectors.

In addition to this new budgetary allowance has been made for an expansion of historically neglected industries such as electronics, and tourism. The Committee has made clear in the past its belief in the importance of advancing the technical level of the economy, but has stressed that the only way this can be achieved without introducing distortions into the economy is to ensure that any expansion is a rational response to the needs of the Rhandic economy in it’s given level of development. It appears to have now judged that Rhand has achieved a level of technique that warrants a further expansion into more advanced electronic control systems and an expansion of the country’s access to digital technologies. The first phase of this expansion is expected to begin with imports of computer and electronic components from the imperialist powers, followed by a gradual raising of our own native design and production capabilities as our researchers become more familiarised with the technology.

Committee Chairman Veniak Sharmah said “It is clear that the wurld we live in now is ever more reliant on computers and advanced electronics, further the potential for this technology to increase the efficiency and productivity of our economy is indisputable. What has held us back at present has been the need for us to attain a sufficient level of industrial technique to allow us to commit to computerising our economy. Our relative backwardness in this area compared to some of the imperialist powers is not a mark of our weakness; it is merely a signifier of the rapacious history of those countries which through their history of plundering the native wealth of nations such as ours have managed to claw their way to an advanced economy ahead of the oppressed nations of the wurld.

However, we in Rhand are forging a new way forward. We have achieved here in a few short decades the sort of advance in technique and productivity which took the imperialist countries over a century to reach. Rhand continues to make great strides in all areas of activity be they scientific, industrial, or cultural; we are at the forefront of the great wave of the oppressed peoples of the wurld and together we will sweep aside all that stands in our way.”
