Public Secretary's Summary - ''The National Budget has turned around significantly. We are running a surplus and this is not a good thing. The nation is still woefully under developed and sending Florins to international banks is a waste of financial potential. We have lowered the national debt by 20 billion florins. Twenty billion better spent on infrastructure, police, health, social programs, or education. Our interest rate will not be long guarenteed by the World Assembly, and we must invest now while we have the chance. I also note that internal corruption is still a major contributor to ineffective tax and spend strategies.''

Public Secretary's Summary - ''Following on from the last report, we have made some headway into the crises plaguing the Republic. Investment in agriculture and development has made unemployment decrease from 40% to 30% with reason to believe it will continue to trend down and also totally eliminated the food importation crisis in only three harvests.

International trade is returning and business confidence, while shakey, is generally higher. I urge you to continue to tackle problems with crime, education, and health.''
Public Secretary's Summary - ''The nation is in crisis. Not just one crisis, but I count over twenty-five major national crises. Many of these national emergencies feed into one another. This is, counter-intuitively, actually good news. Any programs created to deal with any particular crisis is nearly guaranteed to aide in resolving a number of related problems. My recommendation is to increase community and general policing, increase intelligence funding, tax behaviours you want to minimise, and subsidies behaviours you want to encourage. Anything that addresses the rampant poverty of our nation will decrease most of these issues, but I recommend a balance between immediate solutions and long-term solutions; without improved education, jobs, and homes, whatever money we parachute into the pockets of citizens will be at best only temporary fixes.''

Public Secretary's Summary - ''The considerable improvements to human development in Kodiak not-withstanding, the general populace is still quite angry. The nation has grown by approximately three million citizens over three years, with an exploding in farmers. Life expetancy is up slightly, and while unemployment has decreased, the number of retirees has increased by 300%. Extremism is down, as is poverty. If you had plans to win hearts and minds with social policies, now may be the time to do it.''
Public Secretary's Summary - ''e nation is non-too-happy with the state of things. I have below collated a summary of the various groups and their concerns, as well as the percentage of the population who identifies with that group. Some groups lie on a spectrum, such as the Capitalist-Socialist or Traditional Conservative-Civil Liberty axes. Consider also the Poor-Middle-Wealthy class spectrum. Some groups simply reflect political opinions, such as National Patriotism, or Religion. Other groups are contextual, such as Parents, Commuters, Retirees, Farmers. All of them are angry. I suppose that has something to do with all the riots going on. Good luck! If you need me, I'll be in the World Assembly Quarter of Rykkburgh.''

Our nation, now three years into the new Republic, stands solvent. The development of our regions has decreased unemployment substantially and our GDP is on the rise. Progress has been made on our standing national crises and the citizens of Kodiak are beginning to allow themselves to feel optimistic again. Chancellor-Elect Albrecht von Battenberg-Grafton shall replace Ulrykk von Guelderlaand as leader of the nation. The emergency powers resolution remains in force. Good luck to you.

The National Budget

Public Secretary's Summary - The National Budget has turned around significantly. We are running a surplus and this is not a good thing. The nation is still woefully under developed and sending Florins to international banks is a waste of financial potential. We have lowered the national debt by 20 billion florins. Twenty billion better spent on infrastructure, police, health, social programs, or education. Our interest rate will not be long guaranteed by the World Assembly, and we must invest now while we have the chance. I also note that internal corruption is still a major contributor to ineffective tax and spend strategies.

The National Debt

The National Debt stands at approximately ₣ 257.3 Billion
Our predicted Surplus this year stands at approximately ₣ 21.76 Billion
This will decrease the National Debt to approximately ₣ 235.5 billion
Our National Credit rating is currently guaranteed by our International Partners at AAA
Interest on the debt assessed at 1.70% and is expected to cost ₣ 4.4 Billion which represents 6.54% of the current budget.

The Political Situation

Public Secretary's Summary - Following on from the last report, we have made some headway into the crises plaguing the Republic. Investment in agriculture and development has made unemployment decrease from 40% to 30% with reason to believe it will continue to trend down and also totally eliminated the food importation crisis in only three harvests. Poverty is down and incomes in all brackets are up (skewed to the poor because of the massive increases in employment). International trade is returning and business confidence, while shakey, is generally higher. I urge you to continue to tackle problems with crime, education, and health.

Political Capital

Due to the effectiveness and loyalty of the Public Service to the government, we expect to be able to exercise 100 units of political capital each year this term.
