The career-politician had been selected as the new head of state in order to provide a political legitimacy to the Democratic Republic of Osterlicsh. With it, came his years of diplomatic experience which supported the nation's development into the millennia.
====== Reformation of Industry ======
This section will include information about the reformation of DRO's industry from highly reliant on good agriculture, to a diverse and modern production (incl. chemical products). Signifies the recognition by 1990 government that Osterlicsh should no longer be some two-bit, former-colony, banana-republic.
====== World Worker's Canal Project ======
[[File:World Worker's Canal Map.png|thumb|The path which the World Worker's Canal takes across Osterlicsh. It connects the Packilvanian Ocean in the east to the South Concordian Ocean in the west.]]
As part of sweeping reforms to industry, newly-appointed Ronald Stemmler and his chairpersons embarked on a project to connect the oceans of Osterlicsh's east and west coast. The colossal undertaking would require approximately 580 kilometres of canal and able to fit multiple ships side-by-side heading in alternate directions. The east and west mouths of the canal are known as the East and West Portals. Each portal has three entry and three exit lanes. This means that at any given time, one ship can be leaving the gate, one ship stabilising in the lock, and a third ship entering the gate. The canal has a number of smaller ports throughout its course, connecting the remained or Osterlicsh to the world.
The country appealed to the world stage for support in completing the canal by the year 2020. In exchange, the Democratic Republic of Osterlicsh promised a 50% cut in passage tariffs for vessels registered in nations donating. Below, the table lists what each participant country donated to the project.

The opening ceremony will be held on the 21st June 2020, the 38th Socialism Day (national anniversary), and boasts a host of world leaders, as well as networking events. State sources suggest the first vessel to transit the canal will be two [[People's Navy (Osterlicsh)|People's Navy]] Destroyers, which will both set off in opposite directions at the same time.
There is some controversy over the heavy involvement of the [[People's Border Guard (Osterlicsh)|People's Border Guard]], who are said to be preparing to heavily protect the canal against "unwarranted migration". It is not known whether this unwarranted migration is in referral to immigrants, or refugees.

| text = '''An out-of-character note:''' The construction of this project is a massive undertaking. I calculate the length of this canal as approximately 580 kilometres. This is around thirty times longer than that of the {{wp|Suez canal}} (193 km), which took ten years to construct. I would therefore estimate that, with assistance from supporting nations, World Worker's Canal would take thirty years to complete.<br><br>In line with the idea of "New Osterlicsh", the re-branding initiative in 1990, this would mean that the project would be due to complete in 2020. This is part-realistic, part-convenient to give me something to start national roleplay with.
