(Reference Number: PER 42, CR 50)

                        ~ Act of Tepoelan ~

          ~ Salanda 2025-2026 Budget Act ~

       ~ Preamble and Long Title of the Act ~

An Act of Tepoelan to make provision for establishing a budget for Salanda till her next Independence Day unless extended to a full year of this budget running should the Supreme Court of  Salanda allow.

            ~ Section One - The Budget ~

Today I present to you a budget that is not only about numbers, but about vision. A vision for a strong, secure, and modern Salanda.

For too long, our resources were divided in a way that focused only on the immediate. This year, we strike a new balance. A balance between protection and progress, between stability and innovation, between today’s needs and tomorrow’s opportunities.

We have committed 45 percent of our budget to the economy — to build industries that create jobs and prosperity for our people.

We dedicate 20 percent to defense — strong enough to protect our nation and keep our borders safe, yet measured enough to allow space for growth in other areas.

We invest 10 percent in education, ensuring that every child and young adult has the foundation to succeed. Education remains the bedrock of our future.

For the first time in Salanda’s history, we allocate 15 percent to innovation and IT, through Jeekie. This is not a cost — it is an investment. It is the seed from which new technologies, companies, and opportunities will grow. It signals to the world: Salanda is ready to compete in the digital age.

We dedicate 5 percent to arts and sports, with a strong focus on football and basketball — the passions of our youth, the pride of our nation, and a way to bring unity and international recognition.

Finally, 5 percent goes to other essential purposes, including welfare and public services, to ensure that no Salandan is left behind.

Honourable Members, this budget is responsible. It secures our nation, grows our economy, and opens a path to a modern, innovative future. Some will say education should receive more, others that defense should remain higher. But I tell you this: every Salandarian will benefit from the opportunities this budget creates.

This is not just a financial plan — it is a commitment to our people. A promise that Salanda will be safe, Salanda will be strong, and Salanda will be ready for the future.
