Summary:According to some accounts, Gusmão's plan was to establish a small council of senior advisors (of which he would be a member) drawn from across the political spectrum that would provide direction to his hand-selected replacement and new government. The most dramatic-indeed fantastical-addition to the long-term national development plans was passage of Law 3/2014 making Oecusse District a special administrative region and the announcement that the enclave would be the recipient of a huge makeover, including the development of a new port and airport, an industrial zone, and an entirely new planned city called the Special Zones of the Social Market Economy of Timor-Leste (known by the Tetumacronym zeesm ).
