President Okonkwo Cyryl Lavoie, above
Brickston Democratic Union Party
Okonkwo Cyryl Lavoie is the current president of Brickston (as of 16/07/2021 in DD/MM/YY format). He was born on the 28th of June, but the year of his birth is not known. Some figures estimate him to be in the age range of 45-75.

State of Brickston before Lavoie's rule

Before Okonkwo Cyryl Lavoie's reign, the country had been following a protectionism trade policy, where regional products are preferred over international ones. The country had been recovering from the radical Maduro Communist Revolution (1912-1937).

Poverty rates declined over time, but the country was not making sufficient progress.

Background of Mr. Lavoie

Mr. Lavoie was born in the town of Schmedeswurtherwester (present-day Lavoiewuschmedes). His parents couldn't afford to send him to school, as they had spent all their money to buy a home. Okonkwo's father worked in a sawmill and his mother was a basket weaver. Okonkwo had 2 brothers; Elias and Felix, both of which were younger than him (by 2 and 6 years respectively).

Okonkwo got offered a scholarship despite not having a history of education. He was offered a scholarship by the University of New Amsterdam. Mr. Lavoie recalls his life by saying, "I had a secret stash of textbooks which I used to get from my friends, whose families were richer than my family was."

President Lavoie took a science degree but moved on to take more subjects as the scholarship allowed him to do so. He received recognition while peeking through a 12th Grade math class. He could do calculus, unlike students in the class. He was 10 years old!

He finally took up politics and decided to be a politician.

The economy of Brickston is a highly developed mixed market economy with a strong social security net. Brickston's economy has been consistently ranked as the most open in the world, the least corrupt, and one of the most pro-business. Brickston has low and flat tax-rates, and the highest mean and median wealth per adult in Northern Europe.

While there is business-friendly reputation for global and local privately held companies and public companies, most natural commodities such as fossil fuels and precious metals are administered by state-owned enterprises, of which a large percentage of the profits are transferred to a sovereign wealth fund.

Brickston's economy is often referred to as a "miracle" due to its rapid transformation from a developing country to a developed, high-income economy in a relatively short period of time. This transformation took place in the second half of the 20th century after the reunification of Brickland under the leadership of various presidents. Through reform, subsidisation and liberalisation, the country saw an economic revolution and became one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with high levels of income equality.

Cities of Brickston

1: Portovo

Portovo from Parliament building, Capital of Brickston
Portovo is the administrative capital of Brickston, located near two rivers. The city hosts the Parliament and also has the second highest GDCP (Gross domestic city product) per capita after New Amsterdam according to the Briekish Government Statistics Bureau (BGSB), standing at 245,917D¥ (366416.33 Euros, 2021 estimate).

Portovo has the most scientists per square km in the world, with 4. Portovo is also one of the most diverse cities in the world, with only 39% of citizens being fully Briekish.

2: Himmeruckend (Bridgeton)

Himmerruckend (Bridgeton), Financial Capital of Brickston
Himmerruckend is the most populous city in Brickston. It is the financial capital of the country. Himmerruckend hosts the country's largest metro network (7th largest in the European Union), as well as the country's largest airport, stadium, GDP and road network. The city also contributes to 45% of the country's trade.

Bridgeton (the English name of Himmeruckend) is the largest metro area in the entire Arctic Belt, and handles the second-highest traffic of trade ships, after Doh Tin Mah City (the trading and manufacturing capital of Brickland). Due to westerly winds, it enjoys a mild summer climate throughout the year, and experiences warmer winters alike the rest of the Briekish southern coast. This weather phenomenon, termed the "Briekish weather abnormality", allows for habitation in these areas, and also causes some regions in the geographic south to have harsher winters than the Southwest coast (this effect ceases to exist in the far North, where harsh winters are prevalent).

The city used to be a farming and fishing village during the communist era, but later played a key role in economic liberalisation when it was a part of the country of the now-unified North Brickston, serving as the first special economic zone for foreign direct investment and free trade.

It is home to many major European software and financial companies, and is granted the largest city budget by the federal government.

3: Doh Tin Mah City (DTM Metro Area)

Streets in Doh Tin Mah City, the trade and manufacturing capital of Brickston

The DTM metro area is the manufacturing hub of Brickston, with the bulk of electronics, high-precision equipment, semiconductors, and computer processing parts produced here. However, Doh Tin Mah City also has a thriving agricultural sector, with methods such as rooftop agriculture being used by individuals and companies, due to the population density resulting in a scarcity of land. Doh Tin Mah City hosts the Marius Tower (Briekish Intelligence Bureau Headquarters).

The city was named by Sir Doh Tin Mah, who led the Briekish Revolution to guarantee freedom of speech for all.

In order to increase business competitiveness, the metro area has the lowest business taxes in the country, and less strict regulations for corporations, especially those in manufacturing.

4: Edgemorta (Gänserntal)

Financial District, Edgemorta
Edgemorta is the resource capital of Brickston, with oil and uranium extraction areas clustered near the city. It serves as the headquarters for major petroleum companies, which employ around 36% of the local adult population. Edgemorta had been suffering economic decline until economic reforms including reducing taxes in the metro area gave it a competitive advantage in business.

5: Yormanes (Waldenmundigen)

Streets of Yormanes, Brickland

Yormanes is a suburban medium-density settlement with the highest concentration of Michelin-star restaurants in the country. It is a thriving retail hub, and is sometimes referred to as the arts and entertainment capital.

Nationales Wirschaftliches Zonenkomitat Legislature, a section of the Parliament
The National Economic Zonal Committee consists of 12 members from each Economic Zone. The Economic Zone Initiative was founded in 1978 just as the country began to liberalize its economy. The 6 economic zones put together house more than 80% of Brickston's population and more than 85% of the country's GDP.

These economic zones have their own regional council and are semi-autonomous. They hold their own elections and create their own budget with the judiciary overlooking and approving it.

Teenage Billionaire builds an island

Katherune Wurst
Greg Walton, a 19-year-old multi-billionaire has built himself a private island in Doh Tin Mah City. The exceptional teenager was born in rural Edgemorta and is now a CEO, an investor, a stand-up comedian and a singer. He even has 10% of Reyali Corporation, hence making him the youngest billionaire in Brickston and the second youngest billionaire in the European Union.

However, with all his fame, he is still a helper. He tells BNC, "I plan to donate 15% of my money earned to a charity in Edgemorta, because the people of Edgemorta really helped me. Moreover, I plan to start a non-profit [organization] to help children on the streets."

Brickston strengthens relations with its neighbours

Felix Addenburg
Brickston's new influence in the European Union comes with a larger economy. Unlike the report a month ago which suggested a plummet in the Briekish Economy, economists now predict a 4% growth in the economy for the next quarter. This is huge for a developed country.

Much of this growth comes from loosening business restrictions due to a policy that was repealed 2 weeks ago by the Briekish Supreme Authority. To add to that, many nations are interested to trade with a nation rich in oil, uranium and gold reserves.

However, a growing threat in Brickston is the age demographic. Brickston has an ageing population. However, the population of the youth is seeing signs of growth, with more than 400,000 people entering the workforce every year.

ECONOMISTS PREDICT A PLUMMET IN THE BRIEKISH ECONOMY.

By Felix Addenburg
Fredierk Seawell has often criticized the Briekish economy for being too reliant on the tourism industry, which is his reasoning for a hypothetical plummet in the economy in the next few years. The tourism industry has performed at its worst since 25 years ago.

Mr. Seaswell added, "To prevent a recession, the government should prioritize lower taxation rates and privatize industries.

Biography: Young Margaret Thatcher was born in a rural village in the province of Orsemorco (present-day Osetham) in communistic South Brickston. When she was a child, she always wanted to be a doctor but her parents insisted that she'd be a taxi driver (her disposable salary would be higher if she were to be a taxi driver under the South Brickston system of taxes and salaries). She was very bright as a young child, and was seemingly attached to 6th grade algebra textbooks while she was just in second grade. As a teenager, she would write about her daily life, including how she and her parents successfully escaped South Brickston through the Portovo Wall on a cold winter night. The sorrowful string of the story was that her father was caught in the wall and sent to prison. It was for 23 years that she did not she her father. She soon received a scholarship in the University of Amsterdam, a prestigious university (also called "Grande Stettlemorgen Universitat") to study medicine and law. She also started a business, something she couldn't do in South Brickston, and managed finances to also be a politician.
