Talk:A World of War: World X - Break Bad (Map Game)/@comment-33812774-20180615015341

Republic of South Africa:
 * Government: Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Republic


 * President: Mmusi Maimane
 * Coalition Parties: Democratic Alliance (39%), National Freedom Party (8%), Inkatha (7%), 54% majority
 * Coalition Politics: Centrist, Center Left, Market Liberalism, Social Democracy, Pan-Africanism
 * Opposition Parties: African National Congress (34%), Congress of South African Trade Unions (9%), Others (3%)
 * Opposition Politics: Center-Left, Socialist, Ethnonationalist 
 * Governmental Policies:


 * The South African government shall be conducting a mass selling of government property in suburban and rural areas to encourage foreign and domestic companies investments.
 * We shall begin lowering taxes, with the richest South African’s taxes going from 41% to 35%, and with the poorest South African’s taxes going from 18% to 13%.
 * To counter the lowering of personal income tax, we will raise the taxes on companies exporting rare earth minerals and fossil fuels.
 * President Mmusi Maimane, to garner support from the opposition as well, enacts reforms ensuring the safety of those working in coal, gold, and diamond mines across the country.
 * President Mmusi Maimane invests R$500 million dollars into a mass-education program for the country’s youth between 9-16 years of age. Classes will teach English and Afrikaans as mains, along with the regional language. Other classes will include arithmetic, science, and the STEM field. Most of these schools will be built in poorer areas.
 * President Mmusi Maimane begins an infrastructure project with multiple layers. The first layer is the urban one, where the government will invest R$1.2 billion dollars into the construction of more subways linking the cities to smaller towns on the perimeter. The second layer is the rural one, with the government investing R$1.4 billion dollars into road work, connecting poor towns like in the Eastern Cape and in Natal to major cities and coastal ports. The third layer is the international one, with our airports in Cape Town, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Durban being connected to international hubs like Dubai, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore, Atlanta, Paris, Istanbul, and more. Smaller airports will also be built in medium sized towns to help with the transport of valuable goods
 * This project will encourage workers from across the country to build it, and will be given a living wage. We hope that this will spur our unemployment rate down to 15-19%. Clearly the inspiration behind this plan comes from the United States’ New Deal after the Great Depression.
 * The project will also focus on tech companies, hoping to attract tech companies from nations in instability such as Japan. Tech companies should be attracted to us due to our low salaries, but newly educated workers and new infrastructure.
 * State of the economy:  (based on projections from economist websites)


 * GDP per capita: 7,228 (rising steadily)
 * GDP: ~412,000,000,000 (rising quickly)
 * Unemployment Rate: 24% (rising steadily)
 * Population: 57,233,000 (rising steadily)
 * Defense budget: $4,600,000,000
 * Military: (based on data from globalfirepower.com)


 * Enlisted Men: 94,000
 * Active duty: 78,000
 * Reserves: 16,000
 * Combat tanks: 200
 * AFVs: 2,260
 * Artillery: 150
 * Frigates: 4
 * Submarines: 3 
 * Fighters: 17
 * Attack: 17
 * Transport: 100
 * Military Policy:


 * Instead of focusing on recruitment, we hire western mercenary generals to better train our troops.
 * We begin purchasing new infantry weaponry from European and East Asian nations.
 * We seek to purchase 125 new Challenger 2 MBTs from the United Kingdom for $527,000,000. (This price is based off of the price tag for one C2 MBT, ~$4.2mil)
 * We seek to purchase 1 La Fayette Class Frigate from the French Republic for $250 mil
 * Foreign Policy:


 * South Africa wishes to focus on a non-interventionist foreign policy due to our weak military.
 * South Africa seeks to focus herself on being the diplomatic superpower in Africa, whilst being a medium power on the international stage.
 * We have a day of mourning in South Africa for Queen Elizabeth, and the President attends her funeral and shows solidarity for the United Kingdom. (Hopefully increase in relations?)
 * We try to increase relations with all European nations (specifically France, Germany, and the UK) by offering trade tax exemptions in return for investments.
 * We ask Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland to create a mutual assistance alliance and economic alliance called the Nations of the Cape. We aim to represent Southern Africa better in the international sphere.
