Chapter 78 The Welfare System of the Nord Duchy
On January 1, 1982, the new Secretary-General of the United Nations took office. The new Secretary-General was Javier Perez de Quelial from Peru. Since 1971, he has held important positions within the United Nations. His appointment is in line with the interests of various countries and the balance within the United Nations.
On January 8, 1982, Prime Minister James of the Principal of Nord visited the United States. The specific situation is unknown, but it is reported that a number of American officials, including the president and the secretary of state, were in the sequence of greetings on that day.
On the same day, Nord's Interior Minister Smith went to the Soviet Union. Like the United States, Smith was grandly welcomed in the Soviet Union. Countries around the world arranged a large number of intelligence personnel to go to Nord, hoping to solve the root cause.
Major media around the world were in an uproar. Nord was only a small country in Europe, and the United States and the Soviet Union actually treated it with such an attitude. Are there any untold secrets?
On January 10, 1982, the Far East China Football Team lost to New Zealand with a score of 1:2 in Singapore, thus losing the qualification to participate in the 12th World Cup held in Spain.
At this time, China has re-expressed its importance in the world. The rapid economic improvement has made countries not underestimated. Some countries have begun to quietly contact China against the will of the United States.
On January 12, 1982, the Nord Royal Family publicly recruited world-renowned directors to plan a film by Nord's founder Ragner I. This film mainly describes the life of Ragner I and the situation in the Principality of Nord during some World War II.
Nord Royal Television has already had a very important position in the Western European media industry, and its yield accounts for more than 30% of the entire Western Europe. Moreover, with the emergence of various entertainment programs and TV series, the yield is still rising steadily.
Some countries have begun to boycott Nord TV. This part is mainly due to the inspiration behind TV operators in various countries. Unfortunately, the EU is about to be established at this time. Nord is the key recommendation of Germany and the Principality of Nord itself has too many secrets, so it is easy to touch it at this time.
Under such circumstances, Nord has launched more than a dozen popular actors, including German, Chinese, French, especially German and French, whose bloodlines have led to their popularity in Germany and France.
Nord Film and Television began to show signs of explosion, and film and television companies in Western European countries were discussing bans, but the foundation and traffic of Nord Royal Television were there, and even the ruthless tricks did not have much effect.
Nord TV has already started to bear its own profits and losses and has made considerable profits, with advertising revenue alone in November 1981 of 6 million francs.
The per capita income of the Principal of Nord has increased significantly, with the per capita annual income of citizens reaching $1,500. Although it is much worse than that of the United States, it is already ranked in the middle compared to some other European countries.
$1500 is not a lot? If it is not much compared to the United States, Britain and France, but if the benefits given to citizens by the Principal of Nord are really added, it can be found that the citizens of the Principal of Nord live much better than those of the United States, Britain and France. The most important point is that the gap between the rich and the poor is not very big.
The education of the Principal of Nord is an important comparison of salary, but the education of the schools in the Principal of Nord is also famous and difficult to obtain. Morality and ability are indispensable. Otherwise, the school has the right to refuse to issue a graduation certificate.
The average education of Nord citizens is in high school, and immigration policy is already an elite immigration, and high school education is an important standard. Of course, corresponding abilities must also be possessed. There are some restrictions on the 3,000 quotas enjoyed by workers every year. For example, in the three months after applying for immigration, they must first complete the Nord High School crash course. Only in this way can they truly complete immigration.
This situation has led to the fact that except for the younger students who were studying in Nord, most of the other workers have obtained high school education, while those who have not obtained are also reviewing and night school.
The salary of workers who graduate from high school is about $1300-$1500, while the salary of college graduates is $1800-$3000. At the same time, the benefits enjoyed by college graduates are also slightly higher. If you can get an invitation from the Royal Academy of Sciences, then an annual salary of $5,000 is easy.
It can be said that the economy and morality of the Principality of Nord are not what Joseph is most proud of, but education is one of his pride. The basis for strengthening the country and strengthening the people is education. Joseph keeps this in mind.
What can I learn from a three-month crash course? Don’t forget the education system of the Principality of Nord. A single basic education of three months is enough. The rest is practice. Most workers have been working in this industry for many years before, and the professors in the school just make them more standardized.
For example, a Chinese master from the Principal of Nord was once a Chinese eighth-level worker. His unique skill was that the professors of Nord Royal Academy were all amazed. He did not take three months to learn the basics, and six or seven days were more familiar than those professors. Of course, at this time, he was an honorary professor at the Royal Academy of Nord Royal Academy and an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
There are many people like this. Although they are not as capable as that, they also have the ability of third- and fourth-level workers. Three months of basic learning will benefit them a lot.
Nord has more than 23,000 citizens, of which more than 16,000 are high school education, more than 3,000 college graduates, and the rest are students and newborn children.
The newborn situation in the Principal of Nord in 1981 was also very gratifying. Nord has good benefits and a high quality of life. Most of the immigrants are middle-aged and young people. Under medical protection, even middle-aged people in their forties and fifties are willing to give birth to another son or daughter. After all, Nord and others have no pressure from life.
What Joseph likes most now is seeing pregnant women coming and going on the streets with big belly, young mothers or older middle-aged couples pushing their toddlers to go shopping. Every time he sees these, Joseph feels a sense of pride, because everything they have brought to them today.
The citizens of Nord were walking leisurely on the clean streets, and some industrial areas and suburbs looked at them with envy, looking forward to becoming a member of the Principality of Nord.
Although they are envious, they are not jealous, because compared to other places, this place is a rare Garden of Eden, and none of them is as good as British, American and French. But can you be relaxed and comfortable here in British, American and French?
In fact, the finances of the Principal of Nord are now in the loss, mainly because the welfare is too high and the output value created by citizens is not much. The Principal of Nord is full of treasury and businesses in various industries are also very profitable. However, this is mainly brought by Joseph. If there is no Audi company, no popular clothing, no oil wells and gene farms, then the Principal of Nord can declare bankruptcy at this time.
Some people may say, aren't these output values brought by Nord's citizens? It's not that if Nord was not a country, Joseph was not a grand duke of Nord but a nobleman from France or Britain, the wealth generated by these things was owned by Joseph alone, and he did not need to subsidize these citizens.
This is also an important reason why Nord's citizens are loyal to the royal family at this time. Nord's current situation was brought by Joseph himself. In the same sentence, Nord's words are better to say that it is Joseph's private territory than to say that it is Joseph's private territory.
Nord milk is very famous in the world at this time. It even costs 12 cents a gallon in a remote country like the United States. Now Nord citizens can receive three gallons of milk every day. It can be said that they enjoy nearly 40 cents every day. How much does it cost in a year?
There are also genetic food and vegetables, which are provided for free. Not to mention education and medical care, if all of them are considered money, even American grassroots citizens cannot afford it, but they are consuming it leisurely.
Nord citizens are not the highest salary, but they save the most money. They eat, drink, treat diseases every year, and go to school. All they have is buying and selling clothes, some snacks, etc. Even an ordinary family saves $1,000 a year. Of course, $1,000 is not much, but they can't resist their daily living standards!
