20th December 1657
It has been a few months since Vijay started the trip around the nation, and during these months, he had fully inspected all the states in the empire and had decided on the economic growth models for each and every one of these states.
Additionally, During these trips, Vijay saw with his own eyes the persistent problems plaguing the northern part of the empire, the problems that had already been completely resolved in the south. Basic necessities like transportation, education, and personal security were nonexistent in these northern states. Though nominally part of the empire, the vast majority of the population and resources in the north operated without any real government supervision.
