• Leader of the Workers Party (And successor of ZombieLenin): BolleDeBoll.

• Premier of The State: Geckos017.

• Militia Commander: Geckos017.

More Intellengtsia possitions will be hand out once they are needed. These might include: Factory Master, Storage Manager, Diplomat, and / or others.

The current Status of The State

The EasternBloc

As you all know, New Leningrad is part of the EasternBloc. The EasternBloc has proofed to be a strong pact between Montarnis (Formally known as Olympia), Centauri and New Leningrad itself. Within this pact, we are currently working on uniting ourselfs to a certain degree. You can expect under this unification:

• One combined Army, Sign up here

• One combined Economic,

• One united external Diplomacy.

Where points 1 and 2 are already implented till an certain degree, the implentation of point 3 is still in debate.

Economic

Our economic is combined with Centauri, some factory's are based in New Leningrad while others are based in Centauri. This to prevent unnecessarily costs by constructing and maintaining 2 factory's within 1km from each other.

Due to this, it can happen you have to travel a bit futher to use the factory you need. Another thing that can happen is that you don't have acces to a factory. If you need acces to an Centauri factory you can send a request to Comrades Sandfalls, Zeriah or Battledog249. Are you from Centauri and you need acces to an factory in NL? Ask Comrades BolleDeBoll, Geckos017 or Jon2600.

Militairy

The EasternBloc shares it's militairy with each other, this however does not meen that we do not have our own militairy unit. We still have The Glorious Red Militia based in New Leningrad. However they are now operating on a bigger scale and can also be commanded by Commanders of Centauri or Montarnis.

The current General of both NL's as the EB's Militia is Comrade Geckos017. So if you have questions regarding to the militia he is your Comrade to ask it to!

Defence

In the recent months, we have met a lot of external aggression from Capitalists. They have pushed us around for to long now, since the latest dispute with LBC/Fellowship we handle a no-excuse policy. In short this meens: Our borders are set and known, everything inside our borders will be dealt with as aggression. Wich includes removal, possible pearling and no reps will be paid to those agressors.

To defend our borders even more, we are currently designing Bunkers to build around New Leningrad and the rest of the EasternBloc in wich we can hold stand for a longer period of time during an attack on our lands.

Between the Bunkers there will be guard towers, to make it even more clear that this is our land. And on several places we will erect walls to mark our lands like we did in the Dessert

Ongoing Projects

Krasnaya Square

As many of you have seen already. Krasnaya Square is the largest project we ever did. It consumes many, many man hours to build it. Aswell as a lot of materials.

Currently we are working to finish the walls, those are 80% done, just the most Eastern Sections still need to be finished, aswell as some of the towers. Once those are done, we will continue with the Square in it's centre, and the buildings surrounding it.

Once the square itself is done, we will have a lot of Terra-forming to do to make New Leningrad an island once more. This digging will be long and hard, but it's definitly something we can do all together.

If you wish to help with the construction of Krasnaya Square. The best you can do is produce Stone and Claybricks as both are needed in huge quantity's. We recieved a very generous donation of Clayballs from Comrade SortByNode. For wich we are very thankfull.

The stone keeps a point of worries, as it is both needed in the Square, the Structures as in the protection of the building. As every block is protected by Stone during the building. The protection is on the group State. If you wish to help building the project, please contact me directly. As i'm the head of the Group State, and head of this project.

Planned projects

There are several projects that are currently in the designing phase, but will be launched once ready. I will highlight some of them.

Bunkers

As said under the topic: Defence we are currently designing Bunkers. These bunkers will consume a lot of time to being build, and the holes for it being dugged. They will be placed all around The State's landclaims.

Metro system

Since New Leningrad keeps growing, we will get a metro system. The State is currently looking where we should place the Metro Stations. 3 Places are confirmed already.

Those are:

• The Train Station,

• Victory Square,

• Krasnaya Square.

Other stations will likely be:

• The Cactus farm,

• Oasis,

• Tree farm. (North West of Oasis),

• Intellengtsia Square,

• Olympic city.

If you have some more suggestions, please forward those in the comments.
