Public Sector of Hallad

The Public Sector of Hallad is the smallest part of the Halladi Economy, but a significant part of the economy none the less. The Halladi government has an exclusive monopoly over several industries, as is stated in the Constitution of the Halladi Workers' Republic. These industries are: Defense, utilities, transportation, and oil. These industries were nationalized after the 1952 Revolution.

Halladi Nationalized Arms Manufacturing

See Main Article: Halladi Nationalized Arms Manufacturing

Halladi Nationalized Arms Manufacturing is Hallad's state-owned arms production corporation. It comprises the entire Halladi arms manufacturing industry. Exports create a huge profit for HNAM, and it arms not only the Halladi military, but the militaries of several other nations. HNAM has branches all over Haven, as well as Greece and other places in the world. The corporation has several branches, and it produces everything from space combat systems to World War II replicas for museums. HNAM has several bureaus that compete for contracting. Examples of these are the aircraft designers Tamil-Ukana (Tuk), Suhayl (Su), and Mika'il-Gamal (MiG). HNAM has operated since 1953, and has provided nearly one hundred per cent of Hallad's military needs since 1992.

Utilities

The utilities in Hallad -- telephones, heating, water, electricity, etc -- are organized accoring to the principles of a utility co-operative. These various companies are tasked with the delivery of a public utility such as electricity or telecommunications to its members. Profits are either reinvested for infrastructure or distributed to members in the form of "capital credits", essentially dividends paid on a member's investment into the cooperative.

Each customer is a member/owner with an equal say to every other member of the cooperative, unlike investor-owned utilities where the amount of say is governed by the number of shares held. Many strive to bring the best service at the lowest possible cost.

Because they are operated as utility co-operatives, they follow the "Seven Principles" (known also as the Rochdale Principles) listed below, which are a general statement of how a cooperative operates (as opposed to traditional investor owned utility):

• Voluntary and Open Membership -- Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all persons able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.
• Democratic Member Control -- Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions. The elected representatives are accountable to the membership. In primary cooperatives, members have equal voting rights (one member, one vote) and cooperatives at other levels are organized in a democratic manner.
• Members’ Economic Participation -- Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital is usually the common property of the cooperative. Members usually receive limited compensation, if any, on capital subscribed as a condition of membership. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing the cooperative, possibly by setting up reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative; and supporting other activities approved by the membership.
• Autonomy and Independence -- Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their members and maintain their cooperative autonomy.
• Education, Training, and Information -- Cooperatives provide education and training for their members, elected representatives, managers and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of their cooperatives. They inform the general public, particularly young people and opinion leaders, about the nature and benefits of cooperation.
• Cooperation Among Cooperatives -- Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national, regional and international structures.
• Concern for Community -- While focusing on member needs, cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies accepted by their members. (One of the ways that cooperatives and their member-owners participate is through Operation Roundup(TM), whereby a member can voluntarily have their electric bill rounded up to the next highest dollar with the difference placed in a fund to be distributed to local charities. For example, a customer participating in the plan with a bill of $105.37 would see a bill for $106.00, and the remaining $0.63 credited to the fund.)
