Domestic Affairs/Economy:
Start construction of the
Bridge of the Horns $600 million ETA 3
Form a new national currency, the United Arab Dinar. Currently our exchange rate to the Euro is 1 Euro = 293.440 Yemeni Rials. Aim to cut that by 75% at least. Get our best finance experts and hire the people that worked on the Euro to help out. $1 billion ETA 3
Build underground systems in Yemen and Somalia, have a very futuristic (but not silly) look, and high-speed metro cars. Be sure that security is good, have CCTV cameras and undercover cops riding on random trains. $800 million ETA 3
Expand irrigation networks to cultivate large amounts of otherwise arid land for farms. $300 million
Modernize and expand airports, allowing for a greater capacity of passenger and cargo planes. Link the high-speed rail network for industry to the cargo airports. Expand security too. $400 million
Expand the telecommunication system, put in some regulation where needed, and fund for cutting edge tech and development. $350 million
Modernize the industrial and manufacturing sectors, as these make up a good chunk of our imports. Aim to have a larger portion of machinery and construction materials produced in Somalia and Yemen. $300 million
Raise the minimum wage by $1.75, to keep up with inflation over the years. Break this up into smaller portions over the months so companies have the option to increase pay immediately, or gradually during the year.
Hire a good campaign staff and propaganda writers. Focus on the economic development we have done, and the engineering feat of the Bridge of the Horns that we are working on with Djibouti. We are working on a stronger national currency that will boost our economy. We have helped out industries and business, as well as the common man and woman.
Foreign Relations:
Oman - Ask Oman to merge, we have enjoyed very close relations over the past years, we are very close culturally. We have worked together on several major projects, and we can do much more united. We would help them with

Send 3 Saqr MBTS and 3 Sword of Allah IFVs to UAE for trial tests
Train troops in desert warfare, having them getting familiar with new equipment like the Saqr and Sword of Allah. Have them focus on defensive combat operations and coordinating with artillery and air force to disrupt enemy supply lines, as well as practicing breaking up enemy spearheads. Teach them false retreat tactics and train codebreakers to spy on enemy communications and crack codes. Have officers learn about various attack and counter-attack methods, and common false attacks so they can ID them easier.
