Economy Status: Ruins

It all started after the December's Coup. Before then, this country had no external debts, had a strong industry, everybody had a steady job, street were safe and clean, corruption was at a minimum percent. But some people didn't like it. And they decided that this country must go down. December '89 was the beginning, the falling of what it's called communism. The naive people believed in freedom. They believed every single word spoken by the new enemies of the people. They believed when they were told that every single factory is nothing but a money eater monster and they must disappear. Whole factories, once very productive, with products appreciated all over the world, suddenly became condemned. They were sold for pennies and eventually shut down. Tens of thousands of workers were fired, many others in their early 50's were approved for retirement. Some of them were happy for their early retirement, without thinking about the future, others realized that the future cannot be bright. The ordinary people of this country never been rich people, but they never starved, they were never confronted by poverty, they didn't steal or kill for their own survival. But soon the unemployment grew drastically. No jobs, no money for pensions, no production. Some people started to sell personal belongings, then even their own homes, moving in rent. Other searched for survival in other countries. In the beginning they were welcome, but when their number grew too much, they were no longer welcome, the locals fearing about their own jobs. I, personally, call this a step to what they want to do to the world, globalization.
