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 emerfencyemergency powers resolution remains in force. Good luck to you.

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 guarenteedguaranteed 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.''

Our predicted '''Surplus''' this year stands at approximately '''₣ 21.76 Billion'''<br>

Public Secretary's Summary - ''Following on from the last report, we have made some headway into the crises plaguing the Republic. Investment in agrticultureagriculture and development has made unemployment decrease from 40% to 30% with reason to believe it will continue to trend down and also totally elimintedeliminated the food importation crisis in only three harvests. Poverty is down and incomes in all brackets are up (scewedskewed 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.''
