The Malatian government has increased the salary of government officials by 15% this year. The domestic cost of power supply is heavily subsidised, with many Malatians reported they paid only $20 per month for electricity.<br /><br />The lull in the war in Brikvania has allowed the Malatian government to focus on rebuilding the armed forces.

Malatia has also deployed 60 warplanes in forward airbases along the border with Brikvania.&nbsp;<br /><br />The deployment of advanced tanks very close to the border with Brikvania is an escalation of tensions in the Bricks region.&nbsp;<br /><br />Most observers believe that a Malatian invasion of Brikvania will take place anytime soon, given the concentration of a large number of Malatian forces along the border.&nbsp;<br /><br />"The Malatian had deployed a large naval fleet too recently. Some 12,000 Malatian marines are being based at the port facilities near the border areas and could be transported by boats or large ships to Brikvanian beaches", said a defence analyst.&nbsp;<br /><br />Malatia has denied that it will invade Brikvania but said that its military forces are deployed to keep the peace and protect ethnic Malatians in Brikvania.&nbsp;<br /><br />&#8203;"Malatia does not intend to invade Brikvania but we will protect our strategic interests", said Malatian President-for-Life Xitin.<br /><br />As news of the tanks near the border became public, many Brikvanian have rushed to supermarkets to stock up on food supply. Many residents of Briktown, the capital of Brikvania, are fearful that their country will be occupied by Malatia.<br /><br />"We were invaded and occupied by Malatia for more than hundred years.
