Line 1:
Kodiak in 639 finds the nation in a difficult position. While the Mondo Chancellery has been effective in a number of policy and diplomacy events, global economic troubles have hit Kodiak very hard. A massive water shortage has resulted in significant increases in food prices and rising unemployment has created a massive homelessness epidemic. The government still struggles to appropriately use state coffers and education is falling behind. Riots have begun to re-ignite as a number of domestic terrorists attacks continue to spread uncertainty within the major urban centres. The new Chancellor Wesley Karlsson (DLPK) will have much to face this term. The Emergency Powers resolution remains in force. Good luck to you.
==The National Budget==
Public Secretary's Summary - ''The National Budget is presently balanced. While one might usually consider this a good state to be in, most modern monetary theorists would posit that with the nation so under-developed, the state could make considerably better gains by going into debt to build long-term infrastructure and social investments. The globe is currently facing a sustained recession and with the loss of investment and international support, tax revenues are down by nearly 12%. Internal corruption remains a significant drain on our incomes and expenditures. While an exact number is impossible to predict, treasury suggests corruption could be costing the state something on the order of 15 billion florins per annum. Considerable effort will need to be made to ensure that changes to the national bottom line actually create long term dividends. Good luck.''

==The Political Situation==
Public Secretary's Summary - ''The global recession has created considerable upheaval within Kodiak Society this last term. Notably, cost of living pressures have put a large portion of the population out of their homes and food prices are skyrocketing. Environmental problems have begun to creep up around regional centres from water shortages and chemical pollution used in Agriculture. Foreign powers have been investing in a number of domestic terrorist organisations and considerable damage has been done to urban areas. Without the support of the Assembly of Nations, Kodiak finds itself struggling to effect real social change. Police budgets likely cannot be raised any further than they already have without risking becoming an authoritarian state, but the government must do something to answer these massive social ills.''

==Demographic Concerns==
Public Secretary's Summary - ''The last three years have been hard on the nation. nearly four million more Kodiakers have died than been born or immigrated into the nation. This represents a population decrease of 4%. Poverty is on the rise, and inequality as well. Socialism is on the rise in the face of the continued lack of social care presently. Immigration has dropped off significantly in the last three years and while ethnic minorities are only half as prevalent as before, racism against them has skyrocketed. Racial, Gender, and Sexual inequality continues at embarrassingly high levels. We can only hope the global crisis ends soon so that we can begin to grow again. It may be worth considering loosening immigration rules in the near to moderate future.''
