Ever since the government started the construction of a new settlement, OGAT citizens have been excited about the prospect of new opportunities. Although the settlement still hasn't been named, citizens have started referring to it as "New Hope."
However, several documents surfaced yesterday, revealing that the purpose of constructing the new settlement is not as transparent as initially believed. These documents show that the government plans to evict the entire population of OGAT from their current housing. All office spaces, mansions, military and police facilities, and even the River Village will be completely vacated. Citizens will either be forced to move to the new settlement or leave OGAT entirely.
Many areas in the new settlement will be used for advertising foreign companies, something that has been illegal under current OGAT law. However, OGAT laws do not apply to the new settlement. This will allow the government to sell advertisement spaces for large profits. Even more shocking is the revelation that old OGAT land will be sold to foreign investors. It is speculated that most office complexes, private mansions, and government facilities will be demolished by the new investors, who plan to use the land for extracting precious salt that has been accumulating in the OGAT soil.
The OGAT government issued a statement today regarding the document leak. "We assure citizens that better living conditions will be guaranteed in the New Hope settlement," said a government spokesperson during a press conference. "Our primary goal was to ensure equal job opportunities. Citizens will be able to work any job they prefer without the limitations currently imposed by the Thieves and Guards unions." The government also promised a daily subsidy for what the spokesperson referred to as "hard-working citizens." Inhabitants of "New Hope" will also be allowed to compile lists of their closest friends and loved ones, known as "Friends Lists." These lists have been forbidden in OGAT since 2019.
Forced relocation will begin on the 2nd of May when the first group of citizens will be moved for the testing of new housing arrangements.
