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.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - INCOMPLETE/INCORRECT
 
Kodiak greets the end of the third general election in a still more stable circumstance than the last. While there has been some movement against the crises facing our nation, considerable conservative backlash has resulted in the attempted assassination of our Chancellor and a threefold increase in hate crimes and ethnic tension. Climate change and a global economic downturn have begun to push peoples over our porous borders only further inflaming these issues. The budget is solidly green and the government is providing more service and opportunity to more citizens than at any time since the beginning of the Kodiak Epidemic. Chancellor Alexander Mondo replaces the injured Albrecht Battenberg-Grafton. 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.''
Public Secretary's Summary - ''The National Budget continues to improve despite our best efforts to outspend our tax income. While considerable expenditure has been assessed over the last three years, the general efficiency of the public service has increased in tandem, effectively creating an extra four billion florins in savings per annum. As was assessed in the previous report, we do not want to be maintaining a surplus account while the nation's poor continue to struggle to make ends meet and national infrastructure remains underdeveloped. It is the opinion of your economists that we continue to increase spending on the order of an additional 10 billion per annum. I want to note that while internal corruption and general graft is still a notable drain on departmental budgets, it has for the first time been outpaced by professional experience and procedural efficiencies.''******
 
===The National Debt===
The National Debt stands at approximately '''₣ 180.62 Billion''' with a Debt/GDP ratio of '''23%'''.<br>.
Our predicted '''Surplus''' this year stands at approximately '''₣ 1.47 Billion'''.<br>.
This will '''decrease''' the National Debt to approximately '''₣ 179.2 billion'''.<br>.
Our Sovereign Credit rating is no longer guaranteed by our International Partners but remains at '''AAA'''.<br>.
Interest on the debt assessed at '''1.70%''' and is expected to cost '''₣ 3.07 Billion''' which represents '''4.0% of annual expenditure'''.

==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.''
Public Secretary's Summary - ''Following on from the last report, we appear to have stagnated on addressing the numerous crises facing the Republic. Policies addressing farming, food, and unemployment have unintentionally created an obesity epidemic and a national water shortage. The global economy appears to be entering a recession and our recovery efforts have accordingly been stalled. Business confidence is diving, especially after the recent terrorist incidents. Crime continues to thrive as our employment opportunities continue to dry up. We should investigate policies which increase the number of safe public service jobs we can subsidise until the global economy recovers, otherwise we will see a return to the levels of unemployment we saw six years ago. We also must begin to face the fact that global climate change has begun to affect our nation and must start considering environmental and carbon policies that may aide in mitigation efforts.''
 
===New National Emergencies===
===Political Capital===
====Extreme Nationalism====
Due to the effectiveness and loyalty of the Public Service to the government, as well as the support of the Emergency Powers Resolution we expect to be able to exercise '''85 units''' of political capital each year this term.

==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.''
Public Secretary's Summary - ''The population of the Republic has increased by five million since 630 (an increase of over 6%). Over the last term of government, there has been some backsliding for our nation's middle class, likely related to the global economic downturn. Political polarisation has seen that more people are self-identifying with terrorist organisations and donating time and money to extremist causes. Both capitalist and socialist political organisations have grown in the last three years.''
