Welkija - 17th Six year plan [2022-2028]

[Welkija]

This thread will serve as a hub for all economic development and modernization being undertaken in Welkija as part of the 17th 6 year plan, partially retroactive, and partially current. Collaboration and is appreciated and welcomed, please contact me on discord or by posting a reply here.



Proposal by Držplan (State Planning Committee) to the Peoples Assembly:

The State Planning Committee respectfully proposes a series of reforms to be undertaken in the planning process, aimed at addressing the inefficiencies and shortcomings of previous economic plans.

Prior plans, which once used to be hailed as ambitious and transformative, have almost universally failed to reach there targets. Largely stemming out of overambition and a lack of unified vision. With railroads left half complete, industrial zones stagnating and agricultural reforms often reversed as quickly as they are put in place. The economic plan can only be sufficiently carried out if its allowed to reach its conclusion, Držplan requires to be the sole governmental body which has the authority to modify or make amendments to a plan during its cycle. Attempting to construct a self-sustaining internal economy with little to no support from foreign partners has stifled all attempts at industrialization. Our mines do not extract resources at half the efficiency of neighboring states because our miners are less skilled, but due to the fact they do not have access to the same machines as our adversaries do. Our economy is decades behind our main competitors and it must be resolved, we must begin importing larger quantities of machines for our current workbase. Every project we attempt is slowed down due to the lack of machines, the country needs diggers, trucks, engines, cement mixers, every machine which reduces the number of laborer's helps push the country forward into modernity. Our country is not poor, it simply lacks the manpower to exploit the entirety of its natural resources without utilizing automation.

Our infrastructure is inadequate to meet economic needs, transportation bottlenecks make the task of delivering raw resource into factories and smelters far more convoluted than necessary, we propose a expansion of funding towards infrastructure development in order to construct a national network of railways and industrial corridors which connect mining and urban regions. This would reduce the number of shortages encountered in production as well as wastage. International specialists with developed infrastructure networks ought to be contacted. 

Due to the huge work pool requires to mine and process coal compared to other methods of producing electricity, we propose moving towards hydroelectric power.  Expanding the exploitation of peat ought to be utilized in order to fulfill the increasing energy requirements through the period in which hydroelectric stations are being constructed as a stopgap.

The agricultural sector requires overhaul, attempts at forced collectivization have been met with failure, so we wish to encourage voluntary collectivization by offering grants available exclusively to collective farms as well as offering generous compensation to those which wish to sell there personal agricultural enterprise to the state. We ought to reduce state oversight over collective farms and allow them to self-regulate and operate on the market in order to ease planning stresses as well as to incentivize productivity. Backwardness must also be eliminated from farming and mechanization must be chased after, technology needs to be introduced to improve yields and modern irrigation systems must be created in order to ensure plentiful harvests without dry seasons.

Beurocracy continues to be a major black hole in expenditure, more funding is required into technological developments and computerization, records should be digitized and filed in data banks rather than in filing cabinets. Government services such as applying for passports and visas should be digitized as well in order to reduce the number of state employees working easily automatable jobs. Computerization of the planning process should also be invested into to help determine its viability as a easier approach to economic planning. International partners will be most necessary for this as it requires a high degree of technical expertise and experience to carry out such reforms smoothly.

These are the goals we propose we strive to reach by the end of this planning cycle:

Targets:

• Develop a digital oversight tool for real-time project tracking by the end of 2024, determine the possibility of automated planning algorithms.
• 10% Achieve a annual increase in mine productivity
• Cut manufacturing time per unit by 20% by 2024 and boost industrial output by 25% by 2028.
• Build 5,000 km of high speed rail and 200 extra logistical hubs, connecting key resource hubs (e.g., mining regions, and urban centers).
  • Reduce transport delays by upwards of 40% by 2026
• Construct 3 hydroelectric plants by 2028, with a combined capacity of 3,500MW by 2028
• Establish 20 small peat-processing plants by 2024, distributed across regions with abundant peat resources, seeking to exploit 500,000 tons of peat annually.
• Increase agricultural output by 20% by 2028

 

• Specific Resource Requirements (20-40% to be imported)
  • Excavators: 2,000 units (to improve resource extraction)
  • Hauling trucks: 3,500 units (to increase transport capacity for raw materials in undeveloped regions)
  • Cement mixers: 1,000 units (to support infrastructure projects)
  • Engines (for factories): 1,200 units (to replace outdated engines)
  • Heavy-duty tractors: 4,000 units (to modernize agricultural processes)
  • Industrial pumps: 1,500 units (to support mining and water management)
  • 400,000 cubic meters of concrete and 75,000 tons of steel annually for hydroelectric project annually for dam projects.
  • 1,200,000 tons of steel and 700,000tons of cement required annually for logistical projects
  • Silicon and rare Eurth metals: 400,000 tons for digital infrastructure and computerization projects.

From: Methodianos Vendemianos, Executive Director of Sales of IKV

Your excellencies,

It appears that a new dawn is arriving for the people of Welkija. Any new dawn also needs a solid foundation in infrastructure and resources and this is something that my company, IKV, can be of service with.

IKV – founded as Ioulianos Konstantinos Vendemianos Excavators in the aftermath of the Long War – is one of the principal manufacturers of construction equipment in Aromania, and therefore the Occident and much of Europa. Our machinery can be seen on construction sites across Eurth and is being used on most of the great civil engineering projects across the glube. But we go beyond that, as not only are IKV plant and machinery used for great works but almost every small project as well. Our machines' reliability and flexibility are known throughout the construction industry and they would be a boon to the growth of the economy of Welkija.

I would therefore ask that the government and people consider the purchase of IKV excavators for use within your resource extraction and construction industries. These would provide excellent reliability and a high standard for which to improve your operations. The machines can be supplied in a wide range of sizes, from small 1 tonne excavators suitable for small projects up to ones of 50 tonnes or larger that are designed for large mines or infrastructure projects. We can also supply backhoes, loaders and telescopic handlers. If machinery is purchased from IKV, we also offer maintenance services, as well as insurance and finance options for any equipment.

As well as this selection of machinery and services, IKV can also set up training facilities for operation and maintenance of equipment. These would initially be staffed by IKV employees or subcontractors, but training could be offered to allow Welks to take over these responsibilities. This would then mean that your people gain important technical skills and could then go on to form the basis for a much more skilled and competitive workforce in the future. There could also be the possibility that IKV sets up factories for the manufacture of some parts within Welkija to ease the supply of them to our machines operating within your nation.

IKV would welcome the opportunity to work with the people and government of the Socialist Commonwealth. It would be a great opportunity to help both them, your government as well as central Argis as a whole. It cannot be doubted that a more prosperous and therefore stronger Welkija would be a benefit to the whole wurld.

I await your reply. I pray that this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship between the people of Welkija and my company.

Dear Methodianos Vendemianos,

It is clear your company has a strong reputation for for excellence in construction machinery and we would wish to proceed with this joint venture and discuss pricing options for the machine themselves. National entities often times prefer trading in exchange for resources due to the volatile nature of the Welk Mark, however we can conduct any purchase with our foreign currency reserves if need be.

The development of Training Facilities as well as factories also interests us, however any such development would be required to operate within the same legal framework as other foreign enterprise within Welkija, with the creation of a party unit within the workplace with the aims of providing oversight over operations to ensure national regulations are being met as well as the quota of local employees is being employed. We'd require 10% of the workforce within such a enterprise to be made up of Welks and increased gradually based on availability of employees in a manner agreed on between the manager of the enterprise as well as the party unit. This would purely be oversight body, IKV would keep all ownership rights in accordance to its status as a private firm.

We would be pleased to welcome you to Welkija for direct talks, please let us know your availability, and we will make arrangements for your visit at your earliest convenience. We are confident that this meeting will mark the beginning of a strong and productive collaboration between IKV and the people of Welkija.

We await your response.

Your excellencies,

It has become known to my company, Ioannes Kervos, that the people and state of Welkija are in the need for heavy duty tractors and other related farming and agricultural machinery.

As your excellencies may know, my company is one of the premier manufacturers of agricultural machinery on Eurth. It has been one of the driving forces behind the success of the Aroman agricultural sector. Our history as manufacturers of tractors, forestry machinery and more goes back over a century and a half. As can be imagined, our history, expertise and history of expertise has meant that my company can recognise situations that would be beneficial to all of the parties involved. Such as the potential to be the supplier of the equipment will be the driving force behind the revolution of the Welk agricultural sector.

It is felt by my company that we can fulfill your need for heavy duty tractors. Ioannes Kervos produces a wide range of agricultural machinery, from tractors of all sizes, combine harvesters, seed drills, field sprayers and much more. These vehicles will help to revolutionise the farming industry in Welkija and will undoubtedly improve both the productivity and profitability of farming in your nation. We also manufacture forestry machinery, backhoes and dump trucks, which may be of interest to you

Equally, as part of the services that my company does offer, we can offer training for the operation of the machines, as well as their maintenance. This will mean that the people of Welkija are able to make the most of the excellent machinery that my company manufactures. This would be of economic benefit to your government, as it would mean that the operators are not waiting for maintenance workers to come from other locations - potentially even Europa - which would mean both savings in time and money. There would also be benefits in the form of creating a new generation of skilled workers in Welkija.

I hope that this will be the start of an agreeable relationship between the people of the Socialist Commonwealth and my company. In time, I don't doubt that Welkija will become the breadbasket of central Argis. This can only be a good thing for the Welks and, I pray, the rest of Argis and the wurld.

My company and I await your reply.

Subject: Proposal for Investment and Industrial Development in @Welkija

---

I am writing to you on behalf of Fujimoto Group and its subsidiaries. Fujimoto Group is pleased to propose an investment opportunity into Welkija through the construction of a new industrial campus, administered as part of Fujimoto Heavy Industries. Fujimoto Group’s vision is to construct the facility over a 24 month period, after which it will seek to employ local labour to support the construction of mechanical components. Fujimoto Heavy Industries specialises in the manufacture of essential components used glubally across various industries, including mining, manufacturing and heavy industry. At full capacity, the campus will provide Welkija the capability to domestically produce similar components, helping to foster industrial growth and self-sufficiency within the Welk economy.

Furthermore, upon completion of necessary checks, approvals and finalisations, Fujimoto Group will also make a generous donation through the Fujimoto Foundation towards a local college to construct a state of the art engineering school. This initiative will foster the development of long-term skills and provide the welk labour force with the expertise needed for both the new campus and future industry needs.

In the interim, Fujimoto Group stands willing and able to set up a standing order for pumps, electrical devices, factory components and hauling trucks.

We are confident that the collaboration between Fujimoto Group and Welkija will benefit both parties, and we look forward to the opportunity to discuss this further with you.

Sincerely,

Saori Suzuki

Date: 12 December 2024

Esteemed members of Držplan,

It is a great honour that I can contact you on behalf of the RinTec Group in response for your call for international partners in your economic development and modernization undertaking. RinTec group is a leading mining equipment manufacturer based in Rinava. We have a long-standing and profitable business relationships with mining companies operating in south eastern Rinava, who will be more than happy to vouch for the quality of RinTech products and services.

In our portfolio you will be able to find a variety of excavators, crushers, mills, separators and dryers as well as mobile plants with capacity range of 10-200 TPH (solids). RinTec can also offer instructors, who will be able to provide training in proper use and maintenance of the equipment to Welkijan workers and technical specialists. I would also like to point out that due to the closeness of Rinavan language and Miedzywielskijan, any cooperation between Rinavan and Welkijan should go smoothly and without need for additional interpreters. 

Should this proposal pick the interest of the State Planning Committee, the RinTec Group is ready to send one of our representatives to the Socialist Commonwealth of Welkija for direct talks and to discuss pricing options. We believe that this enterprise could be a stepping stone that could result in a long and mutually beneficial cooperation between RinTec and our brotherly nation of Welkija.

Best regards,

Miroslav Zajac,
