Dear fellow citizens,

We have made an important step towards getting rid of all these foreigners that have been taking our delicious oil resource in Western Netherlands for so many months. The resource shuffle enabled us to pick new resources for North, East and South Netherlands while Western Netherlands, as our historical capital, will be a fish region. After the 11th of february, we will have a 60% food bonus and 20% weapons bonus from fish, cattle, fruits and iron.

This very positive outcome is in my opinion in large amount due to some strategic decisions made by the current cabinet. First of all, our choice for a sub-optimal (on the short term) treaty with Hungary did create an environment where both parties could profit in terms of gained resource tokens, something the Hungarians did not do with all countries they occupied. A second important choice was to spy on other countries with the cunning of a fox who has just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University. In fact, the only other country that distinctly applied this same tactic was Serbia, a country that is in my opinion the undisputed heavyweight champion of foreign affairs and tactical decisions.

Nonetheless, while some of the setup was achieved through choices that have not been without criticism, the real beauty of our achievement lies with our country as a whole. We have seen an increasing conflict between certain parties, but when it matters most, I see everyone united out of love for our country. Gen. de la rey, Walhallah, Fhaemita, Skyjacked, Odan, and Weekstrom are just a few of the people uniting on the battlefield, disregarding their conflicts away from the battlefield.

I cannot say what the next months hold for us, but I can make pretty strong guesstimates. My guesstimate is that through continued strong efforts in foreign affairs and a minor show of military force, our country will be free. Not for a week, but permanently. God knows we deserve it.
