[Legitimacy of Regime]: Legitimate [Status]: A weak, formal state (Happiness cap -10%)

Per capita income: 0.82 Ammonium Gold; Debt: No deficit at present.
A wave of unemployment has already emerged in some areas.

[Evaluation]: "You have taken over a country whose core advantages have been stripped away, whose industry is in disarray, and whose people are demoralized. The people have not yet recovered from the last disaster. As a leader, it seems that it is time to do something."
"Your population has a low level of education, lacks scholars and magicians, and is unable to adapt to high-end and sophisticated Magic Workshop. The knowledge gap makes it impossible for people to start production, and they have to regress to the relatively backward magic Industrial Era. But fortunately, you have bought up those industries that are vital to the country. You have always firmly believed in the idea that industry can revitalize the country and that hard work can save the country. This has also given you a very high status in the hearts of Industrialists."
"Your oligarchic group has temporarily taken control of the market, giving you access to a wealth of funds. But your money cannot control the nation forever—moreover, extraterrestrial capital has long coveted your market. You must also be careful to introduce new technologies and talent to activate your facilities and workshops."
"Your country is in dire need of rebuilding, and the fate of its people is closely tied to your decisions."
[Suggested Development]: Introduce foreign investment, strengthen national defense and the armed forces, and revitalize education.
Since the new national residence was not yet completed, after the inauguration ceremony, Li Aoz returned to the government office building in Faithkeep City, looked at the national construction panel, and slowly nodded.
Although the data and situation are a complete mess on paper, at least the military strength looks pretty good, right?
However, in reality... even the only aircraft carrier and space cruiser are now left to gather dust at the docks and Starport due to a shortage of technical personnel, and a large sum of money has to be spent on maintenance every month.
GDP and per capita income are shockingly low—less than 100 Ammonium Gold per person per year, which is less than what a slave worker earns in the interstellar market.
The educational gap is extremely serious. Workshops are rotting in the ground and no one knows how to start them. Many of the older generation still rely on magical medicine to survive. With the lack of magical potion supply, the mortality rate of the people has begun to soar.
"Take your time."
Li Aoz closed the window. He wasn't in a hurry; on the contrary, he was very confident in managing the autonomous state.
His interest groups are not large enough; he needs to gradually bring in the urban class.
The fact that the composition was classified as an oligarch was not surprising to Li Aoz, after all, the entire planet was his property. The reason he created a constitutional presidential system was to reduce his own pressure.
Furthermore, the identity of "President" belongs to the top tier of professions.
Most importantly, it is much more versatile.
They possess more troops than an emperor, more support from interest groups than a prime minister, more industrial bonuses than a scholar, and more diplomatic skills than a patriarch...
In conclusion, the title of "President" is a very versatile profession, which is very suitable for Li Aoz's current situation.
[President/Oligarch]: [Class Talent - Public Servant] - You are the leader of the people, coming in accordance with the will of the people, and will act in accordance with the will of the people.
Effect: For every 100 points of Primary Attribute, the number of loyalists increases by 0.1%, the number of trusted followers among the loyalists increases by 10%, and the Favorability of interest groups increases by 1 (maximum 10).
[Class Talent - Unassailable] - You have monopolized the industry profits in the country. In this field, no one is allowed to defy your will. Even the most audacious rebels will be blasted to pieces by your money bombardment.
Effect: As a leader, you can use your own funds to undertake national investment projects and obtain at least 30% of the returns from subsequent investments, which will serve as your personal assets.
At the same time, you will also receive 10% of the annual GDP as the president's personal salary.
"That's right. This is exactly what I want."
Li Aoz smiled.
What is the biggest advantage of the President? His affinity with the people! As a highly charismatic and powerful god- Deified Person, Li Aoz already has an overflowing affinity. Now, with the added title of President and the Aura of Goodwill, in principle, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, even if he spends his days partying on yachts, everyone will still like him.
But Li Aoz doesn't intend to stop there.
Development and construction require a large amount of initial capital, and once development is underway, loans are necessary.
Once you take out a loan, you have to ask someone for the money back, either through "Crystal Tower" or "United Company".
If Li Aoz were to seek out the former, he would have to swallow his pride and fawn over them, and there was a possibility that the workshop owner of Crystal Tower would seize the market.
As for the latter, Li Aoz felt that it was better to let the academic cliques have the opportunity to give it to the capitalists rather than let Red King's capitalists come and preach and exploit them.
From this perspective, it seems there's no way to break the deadlock.
However, as a philosopher once said: all the ways to get rich in the world are written in the Criminal Law.
So, Li Aoz decided to 'steal' a wave.
Oh no, he's a civilized man now, he's president, this is called Enlightenment Mission.
He specifically turned the country into a mercenary autonomous state, largely because the players had reached the Gamma-rank, and in the current version, they had plenty of experience, were itching to fight all day long, and were at their most ferocious.
If you only give players running around and grinding dungeons, they'll get bored sooner or later. A smart game designer will never teach players how to play a game, but will instead provide a new world waiting to be explored, allowing players to freely explore and have fun with proper guidance.
During a break, Lioz glanced at the forum; Caramel Snail ' final match was about to end.
Caramel Snail performed very well in this competition, successfully reaching the finals, and even facing off against Long Yuqiong, who is also from the hot summer.
As for Team Match events...
As the top player in the Summer server, Ye Zhangjian, unsurprisingly... met with an accident.
The entire [Endless Pioneers] professional team was targeted and targeted by their opponents in the quarterfinals. Due to the vacuum environment drawn in the venue and their lack of experience in space warfare, they were ultimately defeated and eliminated.
The other teams didn't go very far either.
For example, the [Fragrant Chicken] team, which included Cumin Powder, suffered a significant loss of power because its core members were defeated and their accounts were deleted in the [Machine World Society] battle. Apart from Cumin Powder, the others were all substitute accounts, who were forced to participate in the battle and were eliminated in the top 16.
The Team Match was a huge setback, which disappointed many players in the summer, and Li Aoz felt a little guilty.
"It's about time to put my plan into action."
Four hundred thousand players who fight to the death.
Of these, 300,000, or a full 30 divisions, have undergone military reorganization. Most of these players are military enthusiasts or veterans who focus on playing military accounts, practicing tactics every day, and having a great time. They will also be the main force in future battles.
While this power would be difficult to deal with normal Interstellar Civilization, it would be more than enough to sweep across and conquer those unrecognized primitive planets.
Are there any unrecognized primordial planets in the Galaxy Eye Region?
Not only that... but there are many more.
4000...5000? After all, the universe is just too big, there's really no way around it.
Many of these even fell into the hands of the Night Butterflies and their affiliated planets. As the president of the Tanas people, Li Aoz would not be morally condemned for attacking them.
In his plan, Li Aoz had intended to sign some military defense agreements with Crystal Tower.
Therefore, they are not only responsible for exploring the unknown starry sky, but also for looting the Night Butterfly Federation's outposts, which is a suitable military order.
Of course, now that he's independent, Li Aoz doesn't want to continue taking sides.
The purpose of the battle is still economic, and under the guise of exploring the stars, his smuggling business will continue.
In particular, Li Aoz's memories contain dozens of planets with important Side Quest. Although they themselves don't have many resources, the quests themselves are resources for the players.
Getting the players active will boost the economy, which is enough for White Candle Star to break the deadlock.
Players have a full three years until the update, which is plenty of time for Li Aoz to lead his army to sweep across the surrounding areas.
"It's time to begin our great expedition."
Li Aoz opened the panel and issued his first decree since taking office. "Military spending in the White Candle Autonomous State will increase by 16%, military salaries will rise by 30%, officers' salaries by 50%, and amphibious warfare military exercises will be increased..."
He also created the "Participate in Military Training" quest and issued it to the players.
"Next, we will build an army that belongs to the nation."
