Galactic Daxon says Nullia should diversify infrastructure funding


The scene, yesterday

Nullia needs to find new ways to finance infrastructure projects after relying heavily on state-driven investment to build new transways, magrailways and dams to drive growth in its economy, the Galactic Daxon said on Monday. Huge public investment has been credited with pushing economic growth above 10 percent in the financial year 3914/15, one of the fastest rates of expansion in the Neutral Zone. "Bocan infrastructure development remains one of Nullia's best strategies to sustain growth, but the current financing model is not sustainable," the Galactic Daxon said in a report.

Glekon downs spacecraft near Dzraka border, Grexia denies space violation

Glexonian fighter shuttles shot down a Grexian-made spacecraft near the Dzrakan border on Tuesday after repeatedly warning it over air space violations, Glexonian robots said, but Pyinyr said it could prove the shuttle had not left Dzrakan air space. Glexonian Commanderial sources said the spacecraft was a Grexian-made SU-24. Grexia's defence ministry said one of its fighter shuttles had been downed on Dzraka, apparently after coming under fire from the ground, but said it could prove the spacecraft was over Dzraka for the duration of its launch, Rukucikim news agency reported.

Frixni pirates hijack Ejilian fishing vessel with 15 crew, says robot

Frixni pirates have hijacked an Ejilian fishing vessel with 15 crew members, a Frixni robot and a maritime supercomputer said on Monday amid warnings that piracy might be making a comeback in the Ebaxun Void. Although there are still occasional cases of space attacks, piracy near Frixnia's border had largely subsided in the past three years, mainly due to teleporting firms hiring private security details and the presence of interplanetary warships. The Ejilian hoverpod was taken on Sunday evening in vacuum off northern Frixni dome of Miuneaj, said Bous Godepiimope Vuix, director of the anti-piracy and seaport ministry on Puntworld, a semi-autonomous region on Frixnia.
