"A Nation In Crisis" - President Alexander
My Fellow Citizens,
Our nation is in crisis. A crisis of proportions the likes of which we have neverexperienced before in our short time of existance. I do not deny that, because it's true. It is also true that we, as a government, have failed up until now to deal with this crisis correctly, and for that I apologise to you.
Now, however, we understand. Our economy is struggling, our banks are failing and just last week our stock market lost half of its value in a day. Now, our eyes have been opened to the vast scale of this crisis, and its effects on you, our citizens. Now we recognize that the time for inactivity has passed, and the time to act decisively is upon us. The cost of inaction is now likely to be far greater then the cost of acting decisively.
Businesses, we will help you. Citizens, we will help you. Banks, we will help you. We didn't break our economy, but it is down to us to now fix it. Our descisions may prove unpopular and we may seem distant from the people that matter, but know this, we are doing this for you. You, our citizens.
We will decrease the tax burden on you. We will kick start imports and sure up our financial sector. We will fulfill the roles our banks are not, and we will lend to small businesses, giving them a vital lifeline in this time of trial.
The challenges facing the Winterian Republic of Kasakhvlad may be serious and they may be many. We will not be able to overcome these challenges tommorrow, next month or maybe even next year. But one thing is certain. They must be overcome, for the future of not only our nation, but our citizens. This is not a crisis of leadership.
I will lead our nation through this crisis, and I will make sure we make it through this crisis. In previous speeches I said "we can change the WRK for the better", but right now I don't want to change our nation, I want to make it work again. I will make it work again, for my country, its citizens and its businesses.
To the single mother struggling on minimum wage, I will lift the tax burden from you and give you more money in your pocket to support your family. To the businessman, worried about falling sales and profits, I will give you access to intrest free loans. I won't let your business fail.To the worker, worried about losing his job, I say that I won't let you become unemployed.
But we must be clear about what our actions will entail. Yes, the government's surplus will become debt. Yes, this recession will get worse before it gets better. Yes, we will have to put up taxes after this crisis is over. If we don't act now, however, this crisis could become worse. We are on the verge of depression, and we will not go over the edge to escape a few negative stories in the tabloids.
Now is not the time for this government to worry about its public image. Now is not the time for cynicism. Now is the time for action. And we will act.
We will act to lead the WRK into a new dawn of posperity and job security. We will act, and we will deliver. For the future, for the people. For our nation.
Forever Endeavour.

Out of interest, what nation was this from?
For some reason I though Kasakhvlad was a province of another nation?
