Hello everyone. I'm just checking in and I'm pleased to see that this kind of communication is still going. Interconnection between our nations is going to be key to our future development. I'm pleased to say that I've managed to get a pretty significant promotion. I can't disclose the full details of my job for security reasons, but suffice it to say that I now answer to a guy who answers to the Protector-General. Its been very exciting, we've managed to close another of the old refugee camps, and another has actually opted to incorporate and become a township of its own. Further, the economy is really starting to burgeon lately, we're seeing some of the most dramatic and sustained growth we've seen in years.
I know that some people here have expressed concern over the Protectorate's foreign policy, specifically with regards to expansion. Unfortunately, all I can say is just that Pittsburgh doesn't want to conquer anybody, but we will protect our interests. The Protectorate has one of the highest populations and population-densities on the continent, and those people have basic needs that need to be met. If we don't secure farmland, our people starve, if we don't secure power-stations, our hospitals don't have adequate electricity, if we don't secure rails and roads, we can't access vital commerce to keep people in jobs. Again, we don't want to have to fight with anyone, but the Protectorate has a lot of people whose best interests we have to keep in mind.
Also, before anyone asks, I am not permitted to comment on any statements made by Archbishop O'Brien or by those connected with him, save to say that neither the Archbishop nor the Steel Cross are affiliated with the Protector-General or his Offices.
