(I know this message is late, had several problems, internet etc.)

Ministery of Raws:
The month April is already more then half way through again.
With eastern there where alot of people enjoying there free time and with that let the Ministry of Raws do there buying. We will now give u some details about the results that we made the last 17 days.

- Private companies ordered for 75 gold worth of raws and they got 12.792 raws for there money.
As you all know, these raws are bought at eWorlds cheapest prices (and all private companies can ask the Ministry of Raws to buy there raws for them, with no extra charge).

The state companies have also been busy with eastern and therefore asked for more raws.

- An total of 125,9135 gold has been spend on raws for state companies, this resulted in an total of 23.041 raws.

These are only the results of the first half of April.
We expect that the second half will be more quiet due to the nice weather (which might result in people staying away from work for a day).

The trend from March, with rising prices is unfortunatly pulling through and the prices keep rising.
Was the price of diamonds on 17th of march still 0,0028 gold per quality, the price at this moment is 0,0078 gold per quality. The price of diamonds have allmost tripled. We dont know if we are at the top now or if the prices are going to rise even more, but lets hope that this is the top offcourse.

Ministery of Finance:
The last weeks we from the ministry of Finance had some turbulent times on our money market.
We started our term with an increased value of nlg from 0,016 to 0,017.
After that this new value was stabilised, we had a problem with the buying of nlg for gold.
There where no offers on that market, the price of 1gold was at a time 200nlg (that is 0,005 instead of 0,017).
The ministry of finance therefore had to put an offer of 63,5 on the market and its more stabilized now.

An small update on the BEF that we put on the belgian money market, so far we sold about 1k BEF for an price of 0,019 per BEF.
The Minister of Finance also has some thought about reorganising the structure of state companies.
This has to be done so that the Ministry of Finance gets a better overview on the costs of the state companies.
We also need this overview so that our treasury doesnt decrease and only increases/stays the same from now on.

More about this reorganisation will come later.

Ministery of Economical Affairs:
We began discussing our first newsletter, adding and modifying the article through googledocuments, this article was then published discussing the plans and projects we are currently undergoing. this article can be found here:

We have also been working on a way to easily record data of the netherland market and present it in a way that citizens and general managers can find it useful.
We are also currently discussing our plans for a mentor system or coaching program specifically for general managers to help them sucessfully run a company in the netherlands.

Steingrimur has also created the dutch chamber of commerce, an organization which will act as the home for the economics ministry. Currently the economical data of the eUNL has been collected for the last 2/3 weeks. We're hoping to have this data become "presentable" on a weekly basis to show improvements or decline in prices, buying power etc. with a reasoning why.

The Dutch Chamber of Commerce will be publishing it's opening article today, calling for a small group of entrepeneur prominents that want to help the eUNL Economy flourish to step forward to debate the best structure for this chamber.

Updates expected over the week.

State Companies:
After a slow start the ministry of Statecompanies got fully running. There isn't much to report though. That's basically because there didn't change much. We continued to do the work we did. The only change is that UNL Hospitals has been closed. This to aid the local economy with good, experienced workers. When the constructionmarket goes down again, the company can be re-opened and new employees can be hired.

Of course, this ministry is always looking for new managers. So if you are interested in a job as statemanager send a message to IlPadrino.

Ministery of Foreign Afffairs:
The Ministery of Foreign Afffairs has mostly been busy with reviving the ambassador system. Again it has been a bit inactive in the private forum, so we did our best to change that. It was partly a success, we got quite some reactions on an activity check message, but only a few restarted their activity in their zone topics.

Other than that, we've been mostly questioning and debating the current role of the MoFA. Outside of the somewhat difficult to work with ambassador system, as mentioned above, the MoFA doesn't have any defined responsibilities. We would like to change that. Understanding that might be a job for the coalition next month, we already started some research. This by contacting other MoFA's from countries all over the world and asking them how they are organized. Is has proven difficult to find and contact other ministers, so no results from there yet, but we are working on it.

Home Affairs:
Home Affairs has been working on, mainly, creating a research branch to help to government make better choices based on what the people want. We have also, as of today, started to clean up each ministries forums, starting with its own. We are looking into getting a tool to help with this research. More info on this can be found here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/unreal-1283966/1/20

Ministery of Defense:
The Ministery of Defense has also been busy this month, esspecialy with v2 coming up; http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-defense-army-enlistment-and-v2-preparations-1290948/1/20 .
Also the army has been re-organised (both regular and elite); http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-defense-army-enlistments-1300584/1/20 .

Ministery of Recruitment and Coaching:
R&C has recently started deploying it´s ´coach all newbs´ policy, and an active team of coaches are approaching every new citizen at this moment.
Also a babyboom-squad has been formed, dedicated to recruiting efforts.

Belgian Affairs:
