Chapter 153: Navy Grand Parade

"My beloved citizens, 1902 has been an important year for Australia. We have opened a short stretch of railway, built more industrial areas and factories, expanded our army and navy, and for the first time exported our mineral resources and various weapons and equipment, including warships." Arthur began his speech as the cheering of the crowd subsided.

"In terms of livelihood, we have built more hospitals and schools, ensuring more people have access to basic medical care and education. At the same time, our various construction projects have created a large number of jobs, with over thirty thousand Australians finding suitable positions in just one year. From the beginning to the end of 1902, our per capita annual income increased by a full two pounds, reaching a level of over twelve pounds. This figure has increased by a full four pounds since the establishment of the Australian Principality, ensuring a certain standard of living for everyone." Arthur said proudly.
