Mr. Fang receives the election results at a dinner party on election night.

NATIONAL NEWS: Fang Wei, Chairman of the Freedom Party and CEO of Indralan National Petroleum didn't expect for a huge voter turnout on election night, instead being content that the party won 33 seats in the Grand Assembly, but disappointed and frustrated of the major swing in ideologies Indrala now finds itself in. "I am disappointed that the people would allow these Metzist rabble rousers to surge in the polls, as well as the nationalists. But nonetheless, as that old Baltusian saying goes, I will saddle up and keep riding." The young businessman is a noted anti-communist, and ardent supporter of the current free-market economy Indrala has been founded upon for decades. When asked about what actions he had in store against the communists, Fang had quite a bit to say.

"Firstly, my company, as well as my party, will begin a boycott of these communists. [Fang then addresses the camera] Read my lips, Metzists. If you are employed under me, you may very well pack up your things and leave. Consider this a warning. When I return to INP's headquarters tomorrow, you will be fired. Any communist sympathizers who are on the two oil rigs my company possesses will also be fired. I encourage any other party who supports both freedom of man and freedom of the market to follow in my footsteps. Free will is the cornerstone of modern Indrala. The thought of it being whisked away from us, is abhorrent. We are in a dangerous moment. These nationalists and communists together are much larger than the entirety of the previous coalitions. Something must be done to protect our ideals. That's my soapbox. Now, if you'll excuse me, before I fluster myself any more than I already have, I will return to my dinner party."

Indralan National Petroleum reactivates oil drilling operations off the coast of Mudanwan
10 November 4369

LOCAL NEWS: Fang Wei's company, Indralan National Petroleum, of which he recently purchased, has reactivated its oil drilling operations despite the fact that his charter failed to receive enough votes in the Grand Assembly. During the time of the transfer of leadership, the company halted its operations offshore, leading to temporary job displacement for two months. Now that the company has stabilized under Fang's leadership, its operations have now resumed. "I do not believe we are violating any laws. Typically it seems that the big caizus have largely not asked for government approval and gone right back to drilling. Besides, the rigs were there prior to my purchasing of the company. So if any government man comes to tell me to stop operations, he has no legal power to do so." Part of Fang's pursuit for profits from offshore drilling rather than onshore, he believes that the company will surge in profits, theorizing that the seabed is bursting with untapped potential. He has instructed his company to begin searching a bit more further out than they normally are, at around 50 miles off the coast in search of oil. Deep sea scans have revealed a trench that has largely been unexplored, and may be home to oil veins at the bottom of the trench, along with other mineral deposits. At the time of this publication, no penetrations of the seabed have been undertaken, and a small pilotless sub will be heading to the trench to begin taking small soil samples as well as pictures. Time will tell if Fang's endeavor will bear fruit for both his company, and the economy of Indrala.
