The Rise of Australasia

The good news is, the church has also established various schools of different sizes all over, undertaking the responsibility of education.

While most of the schools established by the Australasia Church are language schools, they do offer other subject courses as well, and are officially recognized.

After all, the Protestantism of Australasia could be considered Arthur’s own faction, remaining under his strict control.

Besides the educational environment, the current medical environment also needs to be changed.

The changes needed in the healthcare environment extend beyond simply building universities and clinics. It also involves rigorous regulation of the healthcare environment, preventing instances of mishandling funds and difficulties in obtaining medical treatment.

Such an issue has existed in every era, especially in times dominated by capitalism, where things controlled by capital are prone to exploit people, particularly the civilians.

Fortunately, Arthur controls the largest Medical Group Headquarters in Australasia, dominating over half of the domestic medicine production.

Under Arthur’s command, the Ministry of Health has implemented a supervisory policy for major hospitals, strictly regulating the selling prices of medicines, as well as cracking down on the prevalent counterfeit medicine market.

The phenomenon of counterfeit drugs is hardly surprising. After all, some medicine prices are indeed expensive. The cost of producing fakes is small, yet the potential income is huge, a temptation that capitalists find hard to resist.

So far, the Ministry of Health has investigated over 100 cases of counterfeit drug incidents, sealing off more than 20 manufacturers. This has somewhat abated the circulation of counterfeit drugs in Australasia.

This indicates that some sort of supervision must be imposed on the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring that pharmaceutical companies produce truly effective medicines, rather than merely profitable commercial ones.

If Arthur remembers correctly, there is a famous saying about the pharmaceutical industry in later generations, "Medicine that can cure is not a good product."

The impact this statement has on people is significant, and it also represents a horrifying truth - the pharmaceutical industry, which is extremely important to the people, has been corrupted by capital.

Perhaps there are drugs that can treat certain diseases, or even better drugs for treatment. Yet the problem is, these drugs may not be commercially viable, hence they are buried in the capitalists’ safes, unwilling to be used to save lives.

Even though this approach might lead to higher profits in the pharmaceutical industry, it does not bode well for the development of a country.

As the ruler of Australasia, Arthur will strive to prevent such a situation and ensure the effective medicines are circulated in the market, rather than commercially lucrative ones.

When establishing the Medical Group Headquarters, Arthur never considered how much profit it would bring to him.

Rather than merely profiting - a superficial pursuit that only a capitalist would pursue - Arthur is more concerned with developing more effective drugs, thus contributing to Australasia and its people.

This incident gave Arthur a profound realization that apart from the state and official sectors, any enterprise that monopolizes a certain industry will inevitably morph into a reaper exploiting the populace.

To avoid such situations, besides enforcing stricter supervision over major corporations, it is also essential to have a comprehensive and reasonable anti-monopoly law.

The good news is, currently, there are no privately monopolizing firms in any industry in Australasia, most monopolies are caused by royal or government enterprises.

Under Arthur’s supervision, the government will not commit foolish deeds, and Arthur will not sabotage his own country. This has ensured a decent commercial environment in Australasia, and the happiness index of the people is also preserved.
