Kaligtasan

Nation Information
Kaligtasan is a growing, somewhat developed, and maturing nation at 67 days old with citizens primarily of Mixed ethnicity whose religion is Judaism. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Kaligtasan work diligently to produce Cattle and Lumber as tradable resources for their nation. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Kaligtasan has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Kaligtasan allows its citizens to openly protest their government, even if it means violence. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Kaligtasan believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Kaligtasan will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

History
After a violent warring period between tribes on the main island of Unity and various other local islands, a great leader unified the tribes of all the archipelago. Just a mere Captain in the military structure, A. Venturina gained respected of his peers and others through his words of encouragement and his mercy in battle. During the warring period, over half of the population was killed thus leaving the economy and government structure in ruin.

Cpt. Venturina established a new form of government loosely based on a monarchy. The difference in his model of monarchy the ruler of the people has to support himself and pay taxes like the general populous. Instead of propping himself up above the peasants, he works daily with them to improve the living conditions.

Cpt. Venturina with the backing of his newly formed government decided to call the archipelago nation after a word in their language-Kaligtasan. Translated, Kaligtasan means Salvation. The idea of this name represents the mercy and justice brought to archipelago that ended the warring period. Cpt. Venturina is known as the "Hero of Salvation".

Kaligtasan has applied for and has been approved to become a member of the alliance Invicta on the Purple Trading Sphere. The people of Kaligtasan are grateful for the opportunity to help other nations in the alliance as best they can and look forward to working in the alliance to ensure its greatness.

Military
The military of Kaligtasan, needless to say, is still in its infancy. After the warring period amongst the tribes, most men are still laid up suffering from battle wounds. There is a small infantry regimen with a force of about 500 soldiers.

The government feels at this point in the country's history to only have what is necessary for public comfort. However, the planning of a world-class military force is in the beginning stages.

Infrastructure and Improvements
Kaligtasan's first goal after uniting was to build a harbor in order to maintain inter-island trading and to stimulate exports of its abundant lumber and cattle resources.

Under Captain Venturina's command and leadership, Kaligtasan has boosted from a war-torn archipelago nation into a fledgling booming influence. Within the first 20 day of existence as a new nation, Kaligtasan grew from nonexistent infrastructure and rubble to cleared and now paved main roads. Kaligtasan also constructed in within 20 days: a harbor, a foreign ministry, five factories, three banks, and three stadiums.

Wonders
Kaligtasan built its first wonder on 20 September 2009 under the grand leadership of Cpt. A. Venturina. As Kaligtasan continues to become financially independent with more and more business sprouting up, Cpt. Venturina thought it best to construct a place where businesses, as well as commodities, can be traded, purchased, and sold. The exchange, or stock market, started trading at 0900 Kaligtasan Standard Time (KST). The first exchange, believe it or not, to be traded occurred right at the opening bell. One share of the company Puno, the only lumber company in the nation, was purchased by Cpt. Venturina for 90 pesos.

Financial Health
Kaligtasan setup a simple monetary system. The nation has appealed for monetary aid from the alliance and will accept aid of any kind from any nation willing to help. Also, as soon as the nation has reached full import/export capacity the nation will start to sell technology to larger nations in return for monetary aid.

On 09 June 2009, the Ministry of Banking and Finance teamed up with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to open a foreign ministry to ensure the comfort of Kaligtasan's foreign dignitaries and to allow the flow of information and aid into and out of the country more efficiently.

As of 31 May 2009, foreign monetary assistance has started to arrive.
