Minister Fabj presents revolutionary agricultural plans

Secretary-General Vrn recently announced that a new department would be established to propel the Jelbic People's Soviet Republic forwards. Shortly after prominent party member Nurem Fabj was promoted to the new position of Minister for Agricultural Advancements. A hefty budget was transferred to the new department together with some bright Worldburnerist minds. Today Minister Fabj was ready to present his advanced plans, and he did so in a widely televised interview. Fabj described in vivid terms how traditionalism has been holding back the Jelbic People's for centuries, even bringing a small map to show Wrnuke's population density. The settled and developed Jelbics, those that have parted ways with traditionalist thought, mostly live on the coast. As a matter of fact, over 80% of Wrnuke's population lives close to shore. Near the shore there is ample industry, farmland, urban areas, and all other things a modern Worldburnerist society needs. Inland however it is a different story, the barren deserts and steppes cover the vast lands of the Jelbic People's Soviet Republic.

Now, the Minister wishes to change this. He has deemed the steppes the "untapped potential and the untamed ambition" of the WJZR and the first mission of this new member of the Politburo will be to tame the steppes. Several parts of the central steppes have been marked as terrain for "future communal farms". The plan is to send the qualified experts of the Department of Agricultural Advancement to establish many acres of new farmland. Farms will then be built and those looking for a new life and job can apply to live there free of charge. Several crops will be tried, but Minister Fabj who's name is Jelbic for 'bean' is most enthusiastic about trying a new experimental strain of spring beans, this has earned him the nickname of Minister Bean in Jelbic media. The idea has met some backlash from cultural charities and reactionary organisations that wish to preserve some forms of traditional life within the WJZR. They fear the local tribes will be eradicated by this endeavour. The spokesperson of the Politburo waved away these concerns: "This great endeavour is for the advancement of the WJZR and adheres to all tenets of Worldburnerism - concerns by local horsemen come secondary to those of the state and the greater good."
