Salisbury: Difference between revisions

==='''Early History [2018]'''===

 

Queen Jamietech's [https://balmoral.ga/announcement/lp_1_10_6_18 letters patent]of 2018 announced the foundation of the land claims of Gabon and thus the settlement of Salisbury. Within its first period, Salisbury had excavated a large area in the centre of the forest, this set off the beginning of the quarry industry with reasonable sized mineral deposits located under the topsoil. The sizable quarry was the first large scale project of its kind in the mainland of Gabon, with the idea that the plentiful amount of stone and minerals would be utilised to jump start the construction industry.

As of September 2018, the government was in crisis due to the fact that the capital government was currently in debt to Varkonia and other neighbouring countries and was struggling to find the payment even after implementing measures to cut all unnecessary expenditure, all construction projects had been halted the previous month due to the lack of resources and lack of active councillors. In order to assist in the payments, the council implemented the royal tax which was a strict diamond tax levied on all Gabonese citizens and their wealth every month. Out of all the laws passed to remedy the situation, the royal tax would end up being the most controversial. These unfavourable factors in Salisbury led to many citizens leaving to spend this tumultuous period in Varkonia or other provinces.

==='''Era of Growth [2019]'''===

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 border 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. The Military Camp of 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 Gabon.

 

However construction and election activity would be mired by the on-going [[NATO-Mir War]] and activity would slowly grind to a halt over the christmas period. The GOR would see progress stalled until it's completion in late December but other projects would unfortunately remain unfinished for the rest of 2019.

 

The construction industry took a backseat during the early periods of 2020, with only minor constructions in reddingsfield being completed alongside minor roads in the north.
