Chapter 244: Chapter 226: New Cabinet, New Plan_2



"Your Majesty, ladies and gtlem. Our police training system has gradually tak shape after a long period of developmt. Up to now, there are more than 4,000 police officers distributed across over 300 police stations of varying sizes throughout Australasia.

Our police training system can also train over 00 officers annually, meeting our public security needs as the population increases," Security Minister Thomas briefed.

According to the statistics for the previous year, there were fewer than ,000 criminal incidts within the Kingdom of Australasia in 906, with less than one-tth of those involving human lives.

Although nearly ,000 criminal cases may seem like a lot, Australasia has a population of over 6 million, giving it a crime rate of less than one in six thousand.

Ev compared to later gerations, such a low crime rate is undoubtedly excellt.

It is understandable, as chaotic order and unstable vironmts oft lead to an increase in crime rates.

However, the vironmt in Australasia is very stable, and ev the merger with New Zealand was done through peaceful referdums.

Moreover, Arthur's emphasis on the plight of the lower-class commoners results in the Royal Relief Committee disbursing a large amount of funds every year to aid all lower-class citizs.

This is also a reason for the low crime rate in Australasia.

Of course, the currt crime statistics primarily account for more severe criminal cases. Ordinary incidts such as fights and brawls are gerally dealt with by the police through mere admonitions, ev if they get involved.

However, more severe incidts such as theft and robbery are strictly regulated by the security departmt.

This is also Arthur's requiremt to create a pleasant immigration vironmt for Australasia. Theft and robbery are considered serious crimes in Australasia, and under certain circumstances, they may ev result in life imprisonmt or the death palty.

After all, the Royal Relief Committee has sured that no Australasian commoner will starve to death. Under such circumstances, those who still commit theft and robbery are esstially criminals driv by greed, and their deaths are of little consequce.

Arthur nodded approvingly.

Arthur is delighted with the crime rate in Australasia. It is worth noting that guns are currtly not prohibited in Australasia. Although large-scale gun ownership is not supported, remote herdsm and residts are legally allowed to own hunting rifles to protect themselves against wild animals or other dangers.

Indeed, Australasia is home to many desolate areas, as well as vast primeval forests and mountain ranges.

These areas have not be explored by humans and are inhabited by numerous wild animals and poisonous insects.

Without hunting rifles for self-defse, the safety of people living near the countryside would not be guaranteed.

After the Security Departmt, the Ministers of Education and Health also introduced their situations.

The education and medical care in Australasia have developed smoothly as well. Particularly since the Victoria Award has resolved the source of high-caliber talt, medical care in Australasia has be thriving, and the construction and developmt of hospitals have gerally met domestic needs.

Currtly, excluding the royal hospital built by Arthur in Sydney Palace, Australasia has more than fifte large hospitals and about t medium-sized ones.

Specifically, the Capital Territory, the most developed region in Australasia, has two large hospitals and one medium-sized one.

Ev the more desolate West Australia and South Australia each have one large and one small hospital.

In addition, private clinics spring up all over Australasia, which helps to resolve the medical problems in the region.

Particularly the first few large hospitals built and the royal hospital established by Arthur have attracted many medical experts from Europe, and their level of medicine can be considered advanced.

Especially the royal hospital, which was built for the royal family and high-ranking governmt officials, has medical care facilities and equipmt on par with the top-tier in Europe.

The education situation in Australasia is also exceptional, with the six universities barely meeting the demand for higher education.

Based on this, the numerous primary and secondary schools across Australasia form the foundation for the developmt of education, which is also the key to the continuous increase in literacy rates among the population.

Now, some of the factories in Australasia have ev set academic requiremts for key positions.

Fortunately, immigrants from the United Kingdom and Germany have at least primary school education or higher, and there are ev many people with secondary school education.

Education levels are comparatively lower among Russian immigrants, but they are more obedit and thus more likely to submit to the kingdom's rule.

In any case, Australasia offers supplemtary adult education, which should easily provide the majority of Russians with at least primary school education.

The Ministry of Education's main plan is to develop the six universities currtly in Australasia into top institutions, attracting more European studts and retaining their services in Australasia.

Moreover, the number of universities in Australasia is still too low, and Arthur's appetite would only be temporarily satisfied if it were increased twofold or threefold.
