SSC Bills

1min

The Sordish State Corporation Bills, introduced in 1932 by Tarquin Soll, were a key component of Sordland's economic policy of the National Autarky Plan aimed at revitalizing the economy. The bills were a citizen-funded promissory bonds program designed to finance state construction projects and promote economic growth in the country. By funneling funds to the SSC, the program allowed the state to take on major infrastructure projects, such as the construction of the Soll Dam, Holsord International Airport, and Lachaven Port. The SSC Bills were, however, opposed by private construction companies that found it difficult to compete with the state-led projects. Despite this challenge, the SSC Bills continued to play a significant role in Sordland's economic development, particularly during the early years of Soll's leadership. The program facilitated the state acquisition of private enterprises, especially in strategic sectors such as energy and heavy industry. In 1946, Ewald Alphonso, a prominent statesman and businessman, rose to power within the United Sordland Party (USP) and eventually became the third President of Sordland in 1949. Alphonso was a strong advocate for free market reforms and reversed many of Soll's policies, including the SSC Bills.
