Department of Gadgetry Created

Kennerwyck - Under new legislation today, the Executive Branch created the Department of Gadgetry. The new Department will absorb the Departments of Communication and Electrical Standards. It will enact the standards set by the Kedalfax International Phone System. KIPS will be dissolved, though nation dialing codes will remain the same.

The Department of Gadgetry plans to change the styling of the electrical outlets used in the nation. The current outlets have caused confusion, due to the symmetrical design, and the similarity of direct and alternate current plugs. The DoG will also standardize connections for various computer-related devices, which had not been standardized due to disputes between the DoC, KIPS, and DoES over which agency was to regulate each specific thing.
