Vakrestrender: Difference between revisions

In the early 1930s, after the great war the country was under massive suffering under economic strains. Having to undergo a military occupation by Norgsveldet during the great war, which forced many of the adult members into defensive militias and grinding the economy to a halt as defense earthworks curved into the earthwork. When the occupation was lifted after the great war.

An charismatic Prime Minister Torbjørn Flaten formed a government as an independent politician with a coalition government with the Liberal and Social Democratic parties. Shifting from fishing industries towards service and entertainment focused industries. Liberals pushed for becoming a tax haven for Norgsveltian entertainment and the Social Democratic finally agreed to the tax reforms in the 1940s. After being assured by several entertainment executives they will establish a “tourist paradise” and bribe the heads of the democratic party. In 1943 the parliament formally legalizing casino gambling and approved the building of several resorts all across the isles. Construction payed for by the entertainment companies with loans from Vakrestrender central bank. Dozens of resorts, entertainment and relaxation business was built practically over night. A massive ad campaign was launched with the combined efforts of entertainment industry and government, targeting the Norgveltian speaking world.

While the royal family of Vakrestrender never personally involved with tourism or gambling industry as it was seen as "undignified and dirty money" at the time. They did however host numerous events and parties within the 5-star resorts the dotted the isles. Giving an unofficial seal of approval from the royal family to the industry.

The bribery scandal was exposed later in the 1960s and several department heads of the government were arrested. The crown realm decided to not press charges on the entertainment industries, instead reaching a backroom deal where they would create several luxury entertainment complexes and pay for the creation of a new airport.
