FOREWORD BY THE CHAIRMAN
OF THE UNION SECURITY COUNCIL
The council is proud of the achievement of the security forces in promoting the interests of the Union Group. It is your fight against subversion that has allowed continued recovery.
Over the last year market share has again increased despite production restrictions due to mineral shortages. The acquisition of Asio-City makes the Union Group
the second largest of the six remaining city states and represents the capitulation of
the last non corporate city.
The quality of the air being re-cycled within the protection dome that encases the
city continues to improve. The predictions made last century about deteriorating public health due to ecological poisoning has been proved to be untrue. Even the toxic air
outside the dome in ‘the Gap’ has not deteriorated beyond the point of supporting human
life.
Security in the Gap has been a top priority. After pre-emptive strikes against random Gap villages, there has been a marked increase in community taxation receipts
and a reduction in economically damaging ‘scavenging’ raids.
The Hobart corporation continues the abhorrent market policies eradicated
decades ago in the Union Group. Their discredited policies of labour representation
and social benefits for the ‘needy’ contradicts the basic neo democratic principles
agreed on cessation of hostilities of the Great Euro-American war. Since the LINC
computer system was assigned control of all city functions twenty years ago, a
determined economic war has been waged, and is being won, against Hobart which
has consistently sought to undermine the foundations of our success.
We can congratulate ourselves on another successful year. And, as always, be
vigilant, be alert.
