With the monumental Trans-Republic Pipeline physically completed in 1985, Prime Minister Dario Moretti effortlessly secured a second 8-year term. State coffers were overflowing with Kresimirian Krejts as raw natural gas flowed westward to power the heavy industry of Novi Otonik.
While the macroeconomic numbers were staggering, this era sowed the seeds of the Republic’s future crisis. The LCP grew incredibly complacent, abandoning agricultural reform to focus entirely on fossil fuels. The line between state energy regulators and private gas executives blurred entirely, creating the massive environment of crony-capitalism that would eventually break the two-party system in the 1990s.
