Administrative and Resource Maximisation Plan

The Administrative and Resource Maximisation Plan was a full-scale incremental plan of the Government of Easway, carried out between multiple bodies within Easway, in response to changing economic conditions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and popular wishes for the democratic structure of Easway's many different organs and administrative divisions to be streamlined so resources could be more effectively organised. The plan, originally recommended by the National Electoral Commission on the 14th of August 2022 and officially endorsed and proposed by the Emizerri Grand Office and Alderman Demitrou Chostacovitch on the 25th August 2022, utilised government slimming and mergers of agencies and committees, reform and enhancement of existing governing positions and their offices, mergers of administrative divisions, civil service reform, judicial, tax and economic reform. The plan was completed on the 31st December 2022 and utilised many constitutional rights, including: directives, decrees, acts and referenda.
== Implemented Polices ==
=== Governing Bodies and Decrees ===
* 25th August 2022 - Alderman Demitrou Chostacovitch in a mutually agreed upon arrangement replaced Eichorn (Squirrel) as the Minister of Economics. As Minister, Demitrou had the Drugs and Substances Authority, which was an agency of the Ministry of Healthcare & Development, made a division of the Realms Health Service. Its services were shifted towards a regulatory role. 
* 9th September 2022 - The federal Council announced its decision to decrimalise all narcotics for personal use. This marked the government's official stance as against the war on drugs. The Council supports a rehabilitative model.
*11th of October 2022 - The Eichorn Interior Ministry and United Commissariat expanded their applications offices for new police officer recruits to join the Easwegian Police Service.
*The Forty Seventh Amendment saw the number of Directors in each Commonwealth reduced from 5 to 4, for a total of 8 Directors. This was achieved by removing the Directorate of Agriculture & Environment from the Constitution, by giving the agriculture responsibilities to the Directorates of Business & Labour and the environmental responsibilities to the Directorates of Public Works.
==== Judicial ====
*The Forty Seventh Amendment saw the High Court of Justice of Easway reduced from a 7 member body to a 5 member body, consisting of the four Commissioners (renamed from Commissars) as High Judges and the new position of Chief Justice, elected by the Long Palace in joint-session. The Chief Justice shall oversee cases and release reports.
=== United Prefectural Assembly and Prefectures ===
* 25th August 2022 - The National Electoral Commission released its own report recommending the slimming of Prefectural administrative divisions, so that more resources could be pulled towards combined Prefectural governing bodies. Dialogue was opened with the Popular Committees; focused within Boriopa City, and the United Prefectural Assembly on the 14th August 2022. This was followed with the announcement of the official boundaries review, merging the Prefectures of Greater Herwighamna and Northcape, and the township of Myggrabben into one Prefecture called Greater Herwighamna. Small portions of the Lake Reserve in the North were added to this Prefecture. The Prefecture of Lake Valley and township Waterfork were also merged to create the Prefecture of Lake Valley and Waterfork. The Lake Reserve; which was previously a prefectural nature reserve of the Lakeside Hills, containing Waterfork and Myggrabben was given to the Lake Valley & Waterfork Prefecture. Careful consideration to geography and the residents' wants were given to create satisfactory new boundaries.
*14th November 2022 - The passing of the Forty Seventh Amendment to the Constitution saw a position of President of the United Prefectural Assembly added to the constitution, responsible for acting as chief representative of the body and overseeing reports and commissions. This change ended overlapping responsibilities of Prefects between the United Prefectural Assembly and other government agencies, instead allowing for one voice. Metallityöt, who became Prefect of Greater Liyvazun became its first President.
*31st December 2022 - The National Electoral Commission indicated on the 21st October that it was considering reversing the May 2022 changes to the borders of the former Prefecture of Chuoscharni, which created the Prefectures of Great Grëndy and Proelëcskyax, if further inspection revealed that it would be beneficial and agreed with standards and regulations. The plan was initially began by spokesperson Frankie, who resigned after announcing his candidacy for Marquis of Urdport and was postponed. The Popular Committees, who had agreed to the merger later worked with the senior members of the National Electoral Commission and the freshly elected President of the United Prefectural Assembly, Metallityöt, who announced the changes, to complete the plan on the 31st December.
=== Easwegian National Guard ===
* 3rd November 2022 - Supreme Commander in-chief Emizerri appointed Oleksiy as Marshal of the Emando Ground Forces to oversee changes to the militia.
* 26th November 2022 - With advise from Marshal Oleksiy and Chief Advisor to the Easwegian National Guard Metalli, the position of Corporal was removed; the powers merged with that of Sergeant and the position of Colonel was removed; the powers merged with that of Marshal. All ranks across branches of the Easwegian National Guard were integrated, with the new chain of command being: Supreme co-commander in chief as five star officers, Marshal, Admiral and Chief of the Air Force as four star officers, Major as three star officers, Captain as two star officers, Commander as one star officers, Lieutenant Commander, Lieutenant, Ensign, Sergeant and Cadet.
== Aftermath ==
The ARM plan has been considered a major success in uniting the different organs of governance and helping further foster the co-operative philosophy which forms a major ethos of Easwegian national identity. The plan paved the way for the 2023 Common Development Plan, which passed 10th January.
