Landsraad General Plenary: “Glorified Talking Shop”
The Ixian Economist
With the closing of the General Plenary this week, many observers walked away disgruntled with the lack of action to arise out of one of the biggest diplomatic exchanges of the year. After a week of heated debate on a broad range of issues, it appears no motions have been submitted nor any clear course of action set for the future. Whilst one of the key themes was the failure of CHOAM to regulate the markets and how to solve the munitions shortages, even after heated debate, no consensus on action was reached, with serious divisions in the assembled Houses on how to precede.

House Poritrin’s new range of fabrics has set the scene for open economic conflict as it continues to expand into neighbouring markets. House Poritrin, already one of the largest economies and a major CHOAM shareholder, has invested heavily into developing a new silk based fabric that changes colour to adapt to its environment. Sources inside of House Poritrin recently leaked sensitive information that House Corrino had been offered an exclusive wardrobe of the new silk in a bid to gain an edge over the current market leaders and current CHOAM luxury goods charter holders, House Leontis.
