Peripheral block

A peripheral block is a semi-legal settlement in Oceana which has been created in order to repopulate agricultural areas and boost economic activities there. In general, peripheral blocks are composed of a few premanifactured container homes (made of steel plates) and stalls, as well as other agricultural buildings. Currently, there are three peripheral blocks and many more scheduled. The creation of peripheral blocks was proposed by Oceana Governor Oos Wes Ilava in his ambitious 2014 Plan in August 2013. His main motivation for moving people from the built-up areas to the rural areas lied in the fact that Oceana was the state with the highest unemployment level of Lovia (over 10% of the working population). While the urban areas coped with a very high unemployment level, up to 14% in East Hills, the rural areas had significantly lower percentages. Therefore, his plan was to focus on agricultural development, such as increased production of grains, wine production, and lavender. His plan included:
 * A neighborhood building stop in Hurbanova and East Hills (at least until 2015).
 * Several hamlets and villages should be appointed as "growth hamlets", for example Sternaw.
 * Local traditions and cultures should be safeguarded however. Therefore should "peripheral blocks" be built, consisting of several farms near the hamlets, for example the location of the former hamlet Ryshembrock could be used for a peripheral block of Bardeyow (a few hundred meters further), which legally still belongs to Bardeyow. Therefore, the National Settlement Order does not have to be updated.
 * Forestal areas should be cleared to make room for agriculture.
 * An Agricultural School should be set up, where pupils can go to after finish Secundary Education.

While most of his 2014 Plan was never realised due to the Burenian invasion of Lovia and lack of a competent executive branch in the local government, some small peripheral blocks were realised, of which two were created with government instructions and one was set up more or less illegal, but it was tolerated by the state government. The peripheral blocks are: Apart from these peripheral blocks, several others have been proposed, including on the site of the former hamlets Antnitz, Lacknitz, That Pynt, and near the former Fade Dutch settlements. However, most of these have been rejected by the Oceana State Government as they are situated too far from already existing hamlets.
 * Nortni Squolnidedin, near Skelington (22 inhabitants; set up illegally).
 * Novededin, near Skelington (29 inhabitants).
 * Ryshembrock, near Bardeyow (46 inhabitants; the first peripheral block to be set up).

Shortly after the creation of the peripheral blocks, several issues were noted, such as ethnic issues; most, if not all, inhabitants of the peripheral blocks are full-blood Oceana people, creating a segregation from the multicultural Oceana society. Other issues include high crime rates, as the peripheral blocks are located outside of police range, smuggling and production of drugs and other illegal products is increasingly becoming a problem, slum-formation due to built-up of trailers, as the peripheral blocks tend to attract underpriviliged people, which might be considered white trash, and developmental issues, such as illegal clearing of forest grounds, one-sided employment opportunities, pollution, domestic violence, and keeping children from going to school. Thusfar, the Oceana government has not yet addressed, or even officially reacted to, these issues.
