Agriculture:

It's been over a year since the outbreak started, a viral infection that caused the deaths of the majority of our sheepstock. Fortunately the quarantine procedures are holding, and we've managed to stabilize the herd from a pre-existing strain that was preserved in bottle stasis. After close examination, the cause seems to be a mutated strain of Anthropomorph Re-spawn Pox, a disease all of us carry, that normally causes the re-spawn of a person shortly after their death.

This offers an explanation for why herds only started contracting the disease when in close contact with people, and only in populations that had been domesticated. There is nothing to be done except look for ways to modify the mutant strain to prevent these devastating effects. The disease can not and should not be cured, as it is the base block for re-spawning on death.

Security:

The last of the obsidian glass has been delivered to the wall, transparent, and stronger than obsidian, it will stand between our settlement and the monsters and vagabonds that roam the wilds. We've also devised new security precautions, and doubled the watch in the riverlands. With the development of the new Anti-Grav engine, we're also able to survey massive swaths of jungle terrain in hours that would have taken a scouting crew with sharpness swords days.

Industry:

Our industrialized facilities are improving daily, we've forgone the stone smelting technology of our neghbouring nations in favour of Industrial processes that use more charcoal, but are far more reliable in terms of upkeep costs.

Ink production has increased by 70% over the past 3 months, and we've been generating farm and animal goods at an astounding rate. Our monster traps have also been productive as of late.

Air traffic has started becoming an issue, since air travel overtook horse and boat, and we've been struggling to find more space for parking.

Culture:

Immigration is up, and we've had requests from populations of multiple nations to come and enjoy the benefits of citizenship. Tercept is currently leading a revival of Immortal worship, and spearheaded this with a construction of an imposing statue to Daggoth. While I choose to follow a more scientific bent, it can't be denied that ancient and powerful entities such as Daggoth did exist, but a determination to the extend of their power is currently unavailable.

Political:

Cirex22 has been making overtures with other nations to bring us closer in peace, this is something I'd also be in favour for, I just worry on how long such a peace can last. Personally I'm concerned with regional safety, and will keep on that front till every Wedge and Meer citizen is able to sleep well at night.

Supplemental:

We have a surplus of crop seeds and red dye, we will need to figure out a better solution than throwing them into incinerators as our stocks are past capacity.
