The New England Federation will be increasing spending on scientific research. Currently, we are developing explosive-resistant submarines, and are starting new projects.
$2,000,000,000 towards development of "Cyber-Enhanced Body Armor". This protective body armor has increased resistance to non-caseless bullets and explosive shells. Each unit of this body armor has it's own password, and is the only way to activate the armor. Should be done in 6 years (September 20th, 2:15 PM EST)
$500,000,000 towards development of "Fish Trackers". These are to be used on fishing boats to find sea creatures to catch so the fishermen can feed my country's people. Tracks crab, clams, and lobster, too. Should be done in 2 years (September 12th, 2:15 PM EST).
$500,000,000 towards development of "Food Filters". With the declining quality of food, these will be necessary if the world's people are to eat safely. The filter uses a small needle that injects a safe to consume, but fragile, liquid that kills all bacteria and germs. This project should be done in 4 years (September 16th, 2:15 PM EST).
Population has increased by 400,000.
