Bonwenat

The National Economic Planning and Coordination Committee of the Collective Commonwealth of Ordrey (: Bonwen ach Comhordú a'Gwenethan Náisiúnta an Conathú Amthóth Brói Ordrais), commonly known as Bonwenat, is the governmental agency responsible for and coordination of the sub-national plans of the Ordrish economy, as well as acting as an intermediary between each sub-national economic agency for mutual aid, internal trade, and for researching and reporting on the health of the Ordrish economy. It is a sub-agency of the Department of Commerce, Trade, and Economic Liberation, and one of the sole sub-agency offices with permanent representation in the All-Union Council of Commissars.

Economic background
Following the end of the Ordrish Revolution, the newly-established Collective Commonwealth had inherited not just the economic malaise of its predecessor-state, but widespread and infrastructure that was outdated at best, or outright sabotaged by the republican government or the short-lived National Renovationist uprising in the final months of the Revolution. Production and distribution of many key commodities were dangerously underperforming, owing to economic sanctions on the country and poor harvests from a string of unfavorable growing seasons. While the Community Welfare Councils were successful in preventing mass-depopulation of settlements and breakdowns in order, food and fuel shortages were still endemic throughout Ordrey in May of 1978. While this, alongside the ad hoc systems of military requisitioning maintained the foundations of interregional trade, the disjointed national economy, already set back from nearly a decade of mismanagement, needed immediate action.

With the end of the Revolution and full international recognition of the Collective Commonwealth, blockades on most forms of relief were lifted, taking the pressure off of the country's grain stores and allowing for revitalization efforts to begin. Fortunately, the CWCs' systems and the introduction of the Córan in 1977 proved highly effective in keeping a stable baseline to the standard of living for Ordrish citizens, as well as combatting theft and hoarding of vital supplies. However, a consequence of this system resulted in the country having no fully functioning currency. Using the seized gold and silver reserves of the former Second Republic, the Gond was reestablished on a limited basis internally, but primarily for use in securing vital resources and expertise from abroad to aid in reconstruction efforts. The Gond would generally not be reintroduced in much of the country until after the end of the reconstruction period in 1979.

The management of these efforts were organized as the Coordination and Reconstruction Committee within the Provisional Legislative Assembly, the precursor to the All-Union Assembly of Ordrey, which was charged with organizing the emergent provincial and municipal post-war reconstruction plans and rebuilding national infrastructure and energy grids. Its membership was composed of elected or appointed representatives from each of the CWCs, with consultants from trade unions and foreign experts brought on to offer additional insight. It would continue to operate in this role until 1979, when reconstruction of infrastructure damaged by the conflict was declared complete, and other wartime measures were brought to an end. The Committee was then dissolved, then folded into the newly-established Planning and Coordination Committee.

Six-year plan
The six-year plan (Ordrish suesblaine) was established in 1978, following the election of Semla Menes and the first convening of the Federal Council of Commissars in its modern form. Originally, a four or five-year plan was favored by economic authorities, while some thought that the length of plans should be put to a vote. Menes herself promoted the six-year plan, believing that having it concurrent with each session of the federal government would ensure that that given administration would be able to launch, carry out, and complete their agenda of economic development while allowing each subsequent one to carry out their own. As a result, the efforts pushed by Plan I was generally disjointed, with calculations and policy suggestions being considered somewhat abstract. However, their policy of being more closely engaged with the concerns of the CWCs than their predecessor committees gave

The first six-year plan faced difficulties in implementation for a number of reasons. The first was that it was partially concurrent with the Reconstruction Coordination Committee's period of control of much of the national infrastructure, alongside the periodic difficulties in bringing the CWCs, having been largely fully autonomous since their respective establishments, into a more formalized coordination effort beyond maintaining what was necessary for the revolutionary forces. The difficulties with the latter led to the establishment of a sub-agency for Bonwenat known as the Implementation Office, which gave citizens a semi-formal means of being able to reach out to and voice concerns with planning efforts. The desire to maintain transparency by economic agents within the government at first was seen as potentially destabilizing, but would lead to a far more adaptive and well-maintained logistical network throughout the country as lead times between segments of the national supply chain were able to easily communicate with each other throught the Implementation Office.
