The Rise Of Australasia

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Arthur slowly approaching, the Cabinet members quickly stood up and respectfully said.

Arthur simply nodded, sat down in the main seat, and smiled: "Gtlem, let's begin. This is our first meeting after the reformation of our Cabinet."

Hearing the words, everyone took their seats. However, compared to the previous meetings, this one had numerous additional cabinet seats, all of which were placed in front of the Cabinet Minister's seat.

Interestingly, an empty seat was reserved betwe the Cabinet Ministers and the new seats, intded for the future Minister of Royal Affairs.

"I presume you are all acquainted with each other by now, so let's get to the point!" Arthur said, "Although our Cabinet has gone through restructuring, our goal has never changed. Developing our country has always be our everlasting theme."

"Prime Minister Walter, how many stages does this meeting have?" Arthur asked.

"Your Majesty, in addition to reporting on the progress we've made over the past six months, discussing the distribution of duties among the reformed Cabinet Governmt is a key agda. In addition, the ongoing issues with governmtal work and solutions for improvemt will be addressed in this meeting," Prime Minister Walter promptly stood up and explained.

"Let's talk about the new distribution of duties within the reformed Cabinet Governmt first." Arthur smiled and directly raised the most important issue for the Cabinet Ministers.

"The newly added Cabinet positions; the Chief Justice is responsible for the domestic judicial system, and the State Courts are also unified under the Chief Justice's managemt. In judicial cases involving mid-to-high-ranking officials, both the judicial system and the House of Represtatives have forcemt powers.

The House of Represtatives' forcemt system is accountable to the House of Represtatives, while the Chief Justice is accountable to the Cabinet Governmt and the Royal Parliamt. Does anyone have anything to add?" Arthur looked a at everyone and asked with a smile.

Seeing everyone wisely shaking their heads, Arthur continued: "In addition to his ecclesiastical responsibilities, the Archbishop of Australasia is also the head of the New Protestant Association, coordinates and manages domestic issues related to Protestantism. However, other religions should also have the authority to deal with their internal religious matters."

"As for the newly created Minister of State, he or she is gerally responsible for assisting the Prime Minister in dealing with state affairs. Although the House of Represtatives theoretically has supervisory power over the Cabinet Governmt, the final decision of the Cabinet Governmt belongs to the Royal Parliamt and must be approved by me.

As for the remaining Minister of Royal Affairs, he or she is responsible for handling affairs betwe the royal family and the governmt and is solely accountable to me."

"This topic will be discussed this much for now, the most important things currtly are the developmt of the country and the next steps for each departmt." Arthur ded this topic and wt on, "Let's discuss the progress and problems related to the governmt's work made so far this year. It would be perfect now that everyone is here, so we could brainstorm solutions to any problems."

Seeing Arthur ding the topic swiftly, of them dared to say more and quickly shifted their atttion to the new subject.

Although Australasia's developmt has be gerally progressing well, it does not mean that there were no issues during its developmt.

Each minister looked at the summaries in their hands, carefully pondering the achievemts made by their respective departmts and the problems they were currtly facing.

"You non-departmt ministers should also list to the currt problems and achievemts of each departmt. As a member of the Cabinet Ministers, ev if you are not working on governmtal duties, it would be a contribution to the nation to come up with some suggestions," Arthur said as he looked at the new position candidates.

"Yes, Your Majesty." They all nodded in agreemt.

"Let's briefly talk about the achievemts made so far by our governmt. First, let's hear the good news from the governmt and th conctrate on solving the problems we have faced," Arthur instructed.

"Your Majesty, up till now, all of our governmt's developmt progress has be on a continuous upward trd. The number of immigrants in the first sev months of this year has already exceeded 40,000. At prest, our domestic total population has reached 765,0, with non-immigrant population growth just over 80,000," Prime Minister Walter stood up and summarized.

"The developmt of both industry and agriculture has also be steadily rising. According to our construction speed, Leonora Industrial Base is expected to start operational activities by the d of 909, finish the first phase of construction by mid9, and th commce the second phase.

If progress goes smoothly, we anticipate completing the second and third phases of the industrial area in 93 and 96, with the tire industrial area finished by 98."

Prime Minister Walter paused for a while before continuing: "Our fiscal revue has also se steady growth. Up to now, in just under eight months, our fiscal revue has already surpassed 7 million Australian dollars, and it is expected that the total fiscal revue for this year will surpass 40 million Australian dollars."

"Up until now, our fiscal expditure is approximately 33 million Australian dollars, with a fiscal deficit of about 6 million Australian Dollars. However, this is due to the construction of three battleships and the Leonora Industrial Base.

If there are not too many constructions in the second half of the year, we expect that our fiscal conditions can still return to a surplus," explained Prime Minister Walter.

The developmtal construction of Australasia has be underway for eight years, and it is just beginning to turn its deficit into a surplus.
