5th December 2027: Alberts-Chivers Merger ![]() Alberts and Chivers have today announced they are merging to the public. Analysts were shocked by the move of the biggest supermarket Chivers to buy a majority of Alberts and merge. The two chains have 17.5% and 9.5% market share in Goldecia respectively with 410 stores and and 400 stores respectively making 810 stores before divestment of stores. It is expected that authorities will force the sale of stores in some neighbourhoods to other chains either foreign or domestic in areas that postcode dominance exists. The chain would be renamed Albert Chivers and have group revenues of 36 billion caprecs globally with 19.98 billion Caprecs of that in Goldecia. The company said it would combine both supermarkets values to create even more quality for better value through economies of scale while pursuing a more wideranging fairtrade programme. The chain announced its first move is to move all own brand goods to fairtrade. Edited by Brum Brum, Jul 18 2014, 10:08 AM.

2028: Goldecia Mobilises for war with Abere Today Goldecia responded to the detaining of ICS Salbanists and Goldecians in Abere. The prime minister stepped outside number 1 Arthur Street with the following statement "My fellow Goldecians. Today Goldecia finds itself at war with the Kingdom of Abere. We wish to make it clear that we have no qualms with the people of Abere or indeed its monarchy both of whom we not only greatly respect but admire for putting up with the tyranny of their illegitimate government. We long warned the Albere Social Nationalist Party about their actions and the consequences of oppressing their minorities and LGBT community. We tried negotiation, we tried sanctions , we have tried everything to secure change but the arrogant tyrannical evil government have ignored us at every point thinking the international community would stand by and watch while people die and are detained simply for wanting equal rights for all. We are today pulling our ambassador out of Abere out of fears for their safety and ask all Goldecian nationals return home to safety as soon as possible. We have not took this measure lightly , indeed we have talked with our Carpathian and Akitian friends as well as many others in order to try to avoid this situation but we have all agreed that we have been left with no choice. I have personally ordered with the King to call up the whole army to duty including all our reserves during this time period with up to 30,000 to be mobilised . We will also be deploying the 2nd fleet of the Royal Goldecian navy to Abere and are currently making arrangements for several airforce squadrons to be stationed nearby to Abere to aid in our fight for democracy and for freedom. We ask you all stay calm in this difficult time. Our task will not be easy but their is no price too high for freedom from fascism which as we know has claimed many lives in Goldecia in its history. We will not let more lives be claimed by this evil ideology." Edited by Brum Brum, Jul 24 2014, 09:00 AM.

2028: Goldecia Sets out for war, demands its citizens be returned to Goldecia Today the second fleet of the Goldecian Navy set off from port for Abere with an unspecified number of operational troops and equipment inside. The fleet is said to be sailing as fast as it can to reach Abere in order to start a blockade of the nation. The foreign mminister Lord Anthony Whittle today released a statement on the Aurentinan offer, he said "Goldecia is at the end of its tether with Abere. The government repeatedly abuse human rights and show we cannot trust them to be human beings. We do not have any faith or trust in the government of Abere and we demand that all Goldecians including those imprisoned who wish to return to Goldecia be allowed to do so and that all Goldecians arrested for nothing more than opposing the states policies be released. Nothing short of these conditions is acceptable before Goldecia comes to the table. We will not tolerate the abuse of our citizens rights." |

Vernil 2028: Goldecia Royal Conservatives refuse to say who they support in Pacium elections Today in the run up to the elections in Pacium the Goldecian Prime minister refused to name any particular party or candidate the government supported in the all important elections. The elections have important ramifications for the Nysan area. The prime minister was asked "Who do you support in the upcoming Pacium elections?" , the PM responded "I refuse to name a particular candidate , its obvious yes that we have personal opinions on this matter but it is ultimately not up to us to say who should get elected. That is the people of Pacium's choice. However I will reiterate the principles this party stands for worldwide, the freedom to achieve your dreams, supporting small businesses of men making money for their family rather than depending on Government to do everything for the population. The idea of supporting small businesses and medium sized enterprises through stimulus in hard times with sensible surplus policies during the good times and competition in the markets to encourage a culture where the consumer is king, not big business. We also support a culture of helping those who need it but making sure that we reward those who work to help themseleves.These are policies we have pursued in Goldecia to great success and therefore recommend around the world but ultimately the paciuns should decide their future not any outside powers and we will work with whatever government gets elected by the people. We have full faith that any government will be great as Paciuns have a history of very good governance and share in our values of freedom, democracy and liberty and long may that be the case." The Socialist Labour Party, Freedom Party and Liberals all refused to back a particular party. Interestingly the head Patriarch of the Orthodox Salbanist Church, Patriarch Edgardo Haselton weighed in on the debate saying " I believe Anton Slavio is the only choice for Pacium. He is the only candidate with the guts to stand up to the disease of so called gay rights and to tell the truth that the homosexual is nothing but a sinner and a polluter of society.He is also the only one to stand up to the evil that is prostitution and gambling. He will purify the Paciun culture of the evils of sin and we support him for that reason." Edited by Brum Brum, Aug 3 2014, 10:16 AM.

14th August 2028: Fairtax to be implemented if Royal Conservatives win In the biggest tax policy change in a generation the Royal Conservatives released an election promise for if they win the 2030 election. Jane Summers went out on tv today to talk to the press. She said "We have been impressed with the roll out and the fairness and simplicity of the Aurentina fairtax system. We at the Royal Conservatives believe it is a good idea in both principle and practise as it makes those who consume more pay more while protecting those who save and invest money as well as protecting the poorest via prebates. We will be adressing future funding of councils if we do change the law after the next election." Experts have said a 30-33% rate would be needed to sustain tax revenue and replace most if not all taxes. The Liberal Socialist Party leader Henry Clegg has condemned the Royal Conservative plans in his statement. He said "This change will only benefit the rich , not the poor and not the middle class. This is a government of rich people taking money off the poor to redistribute it to those who are wealthier. Only a vote for us can stop the continued exploitation of the working class by the right wing." The position was quickly refuted by the treasury minister of Royal Conservatives Mark Polder who said "The great thing about fair tax is it is one tax. Yes its higher percentage but pre-bates protect the poor and all the money in ones pocket is their own. This is not a tax to let off the rich but a tax that is simple to collect and efficient." |
