The Legoland capital photographed in July 2008 before the majority of the city was demolished. The new city will be home to in excess of 2,000 minifigs and is already being labelled the "Empire's Jewel".
LEGOLAND CITY-The Department of Finance has confirmed tonight that Legoland will receive a £200m boost to the economy in December after the Emperor sanctioned the purchase of new materials required for the rebuilding of the capital. The news camefollowing an announcement by the State Economic Bureau earlier this week claiming that the recession was showing signs of easing due to the commencement of major construction projects and due to the "war economy factor" born out of the escalating conflict in the west.
Elaborating on the £200m spend, the Department confirmed that loans from the International and Legoland banks were required to fund the purchases as the state is officially running its day-to-day operations in the red. "Due to the poor financial position Legoland currently finds itself in, we had no option but to add to the national debt. Time will tell whether it was a prudent move, yet doing nothing will prevent the rebuilding process and more than likely prevent the recession from lifting," said SEB analyst Mr Numberus Puncherus.
The bulk of the ordered materials consists of prefrabricated windows, doors and tyres.
