==== December 2018 ====

The end of the Civil War in Gabon brought about a much-needed period of growth to the nation. The Government was reformed into the entirely democratic as the ''Grand Mercantile Republic of the Autonomous Free Sovereign State of Gabon, the Abode of Peace''. The Head of State from this point onwards was the High Lord Chancellor, BritishWanderer accompanied by his Vice Chancellor of Gobblin. The elected Council during this time was made up of the Chancellors, Tvman999 & ChrisFa99.

The impoverished housing district of Melbourne was built to house those left homeless by the Civil war, the messy-style apartment buildings were built in a close knit fashion to allow as many citizens to inhabit as humanly possible. The apartments are homely and are purely funded by the Gabonese treasury allowing residents to forego any worry about housing payments. Foreign labourers were brought in from the neighbouring [[Bloom|Republic of Bloom]] to construct the buildings at a low cost as much of Salisbury's citizenry were busy cleaning up damages dealt by the previous month's conflict. Those in Melbourne tend to live an impoverished lifestyle with the only available work at the butchers or the local bed & breakfast. Grants were also provided to the district of Winchester to provide more environmental benefits to the local housing and businesses. Winchester is widely regarded as one of the prettier parts of Salisbury, earning the name as the jewel of Salisbury mainly thanks to the additions of the BnB and the Gloriana Cafe, both constructions overseen by the Vice Chancellor, Gobblin.

While the rebuilding efforts were continuing, Chancellor BritishWanderer took it upon himself to revisit the policies of Salisbury and restructure them from the ground up, cutting taxes and establishing the Sovereign Fund which would be used as a safety net for the capital government and its citizenry. The Sovereign Fund was vital in keeping the economy afloat and allowing citizens to benefit themselves in periods when the Council were on diplomatic missions or otherwise outside of the Capital.

The Sovereign Fund was vital in keeping the economy afloat and allowing citizens to benefit themselves in periods when the Council were on diplomatic missions or otherwise outside of the Capital.

In late December, the Council came together to formalise and negotiate the funding and construction of a sturdy wall, 12 metres in height and 6 metres in width, surrounding Salisbury. The negotiations took 13 hours and ended with a fully funded wall, slight changes were made to the design which made it overall more defensible, in line with the policy set out by the government. The wall has the main goal of outlining the city boundary of Salisbury while providing a defensive benefit to all of Salisbury's citizenry. Around the same time, plans were drawn up by the Chancellor and his Vice counterpart to further increase the security of Salisbury alongside the wall and as such, 30% of the Sovereign was used to fund snitch and bastion coverage across the entire borough of Salisbury.

Although Cincius mainly kept to himself, he was able to construct a vast town in a short period of time and handily dug rails to Salisbury's International Station and Varkonia. Cincius became an integral part of the Council from this point forward, contributing to automated rail systems while continuing to build up Venice.

Throughout December post civil war, Books and art were heavily encouraged by the Chancellor, of which such works of 'Tender Night in Gabon' & 'Gabon in Spring' were written by ChrisFa99 during this time. 'Tender Night In Gabon' especially proved as a popular book internationally and was sold out twice during the height of publication.

While construction projects were well underway with the near completion of both the Winchester and Melbourne suburbs, Vice Chancellor Gobblin commissioned a nature walk lined with natural flora and fauna to lead north from Salisbury towards to the international with the Republic of Bloom, this culminated in the construction of the friendship bridge by both nations. Encouraging visitors and diplomatic ties was an important direction taken by the Chancellor BritishWanderer, aiding in Vice Chancellor Gobblin's vision of a strong economical city. Camp Willywhacker was also built during this time, a military complex tasked with the goal of training, equipping and housing those who would defend Salisbury and the country of Varkonia.

As the city became sizable yet compact with tight streets, confusing alleyways and a myriad of houses in a unorganised fashion, it was decreed by the Chancellery to set up a rigorous street naming scheme, with each alleyway and street named and every house given a number and the resident names printed on all doors. This scheme aided greatly in keeping organisation inside of the suburb of Melbourne which was becoming a complex maze of apartments haphazardly built on top of one another in different shapes and sizes.

Under official Chancellery decree in mid January, one of the larger envisioned projects was allowed to go ahead which involved promptly filling in Salisbury's defensive structure and the surrounding hole with incredible amounts of stone, sand and topsoil. This refill of the hole paved the way for a grand square to be set up in the centre of the Capital, with the now infamous Great Mickale Oak tree as the centrepiece of the square. This was later joined on January 15th by the St Varkanos Cathedral which involved all government members in its construction, the cathedral became the tallest building in Gabon at its completion.
