Lavati SEZ established by the government as the economy liberalizes, and Lavati gains unprecedented levels of autonomy: open for business
Kamalata, Vascania. Major changes are happening in the empire as Prime Minister Vikas has announced the creation of the Lavati Special Economic Zone and the subsequent establishment of the Lavati Special Administrative Region. The moves after tense negotiations were held with the Triad government regarding the construction of shipyards across Vascania, the Vascanian delegation was mainly focused on ensuring the protection of Vascanian sovereignty while the Triads wanted unshackled profits, this resulted in both sides agreeing on an economic deal with the Vascanian government promising to establish an economic zone where the markets and private companies could go wild. As such, Lavati, a city just south of Kamalata and Vascania's 4th most populated city has been chosen as the test subject for the government mainly due to its strategic geographical position as a chokepoint to the transportation of goods to the east and west. During an interview, Prime Minister Vikas stated that the LSEZ will be granted high levels of autonomy with it being allowed to pass its own laws and policies which means that the city will be free from all economic and labour regulations that are planned by the government after they launch negotiations with the trade unions representing the workers of the empire. Furthermore, Vikas promised to supply the LSEZ with everything it needs which includes cheap oil, plenty of raw materials, and a giant workforce, this in turn made the stock market in Kamalata skyrocket in value as many investors across Terra see Lavati as the perfect place to let out their most ambitious plans without the fear of government intervention or regulation.
