![]() We do not know how we missed that. Maybe we were dazzled by the shiny chart and did not see the very first line. We are sorry. We did not mean to sound snarky. We just did not see that reference. That was nice of Guy to mention it and we certainly do not "require" peeps to cite the source of their data. We do think it is nice when they do. Thanks for pointing that out GRO!

Thank you to all who voted! - Walabamba was appointed the new Education Minister, after long-time minister Greek People Nation retired. Wala is doing a great job so far. - Wordy was appointed Minister of Labor after the sudden departure of Biblical Importance.

Great Taco Shortage and the Economic Recovery The economy of the 10000 Islands has been through a turbulent time. Technical difficulties created a shortage of Tacos, the Islands’ regional currency. Commercial, industrial and governmental activities were disrupted. On Taco Island, the main economic driver is the government owned casinos which were forced to shut down. Asked to describe the effect of the casino closures on the economy, Mayor Shelter from the Storm was quoted as responding, “Ouch!” Taco Island bribes and graft were also reported to have declined. The hard economic times are over now, thanks to a technical fix created by Senior Senator Cerberion. Congratulations to Cerb, who has been awarded the Achievement Medal for saving the 10000 Island economy through his great work on fixing the Great Taco Shortage. Cerberion has also been appointed as the Registrar-General of 10000 Islands. The main responsibility of this position is to make sure the bills passed in the 10000 Islands are properly documented as well as keeping links about government officials up to date, etc. The Registrar-General is also responsible for keeping the actual document of the 10000 Islands Constitution safe from invader hands. Cerb commands a small, but elite, force that secretly protects our Constitution in the Great Library. TITO News Boltor has been named as a Tactical Officer. Magthere has become the 50th knight of TITO. Rumour has it that Grub has ordered a new Round Table to accommodate the growing body of Knights.

Gilda is the ancient denizen of 10000 Islands who is well known for providing cookies and advice to Islanders. Shelter is the Mayor of Taco Island and is well known for corruption, graft and bribery. Shelter is Gilda’s fifth husband. All of her previous husbands died premature deaths, some of them still unexplained.

XKI Update Date: February, 2012 Population: 2,048 Delegate Endorsements: 706 Forum: http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi Political Events - Two elections were held in January for the Senators representing New Republica South and Blue Canaria North. Markanite won the seat for New Republica South by a decisive 83%. - In the race for Blue Canaria north, things were much closer. The General election featured: • Defender Party candidate and TITO Knight Valoniah • The Islands Party Candidate Malecia • Independent Candidate Ater Nox In the General Election, Malecia and Valoniah tied at 21 votes each, with Ater Nox picking up 9 votes. This forced a run-off between the top Valoniah and Malecia, since nobody earned a majority. Malecia won the run-off by a single vote in one of the closest elections in 10000 Islands history. Thus, the composition of the current Council of Nine is: - Grub (Founder) - The Enigmatic Nation (Delegate) - MinnaCaroline (Minister of Immigration) - Takaram (Minister of Education) - Cerberion (Minister of Labor) - Markanite (Senator, New Republica South) - Malecia (Senator, Blue Canaria North) - Walabamba (Senior Senator, Himes West) - Paffnia (Senator, Lyonesse East) TITO News - TITO has successfully defended 1684 nations to date.

The title of Knight is conferred upon those who have earned 50 battlestars. - Reflecting on his long service and outstanding leadership in TITO, Ad Infinitum has been named as Executive Officer - Some other long time Islanders also reached significant milestones for their hard work and dedication to TITO: • Twobagger reached 150 battlestars • Tactical Officer Boltor earned his 200th battlestar • Minister of Immigration MinnaCaroline reached 250 battlestars Their continued commitment to TITO and the examples they have set are the hallmarks that have given TITO the right to claim the title of the Finest Fighting Force in NationStates.

XKI Update Date: March 2012 Population: 2,264 Delegate Endorsements: 666 Forum: http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi Political Events March promises to be a very busy month in XKI Politics. The position of Regional Delegate will be up for grabs as well as the two Senate seats from Himes West and Lyonesse East. Walabama has declared his intent to run for delegate, thus leaving the Himes West seat open for a new Senator. Paffnia has declared his intent to run for re-election for Lyonesse East. Under current law, the seat for Delegate must be vacated at the end of each term. Because of this rule, Enigmatic Nation will be concluding his term as Delegate.

XKI Update Date: April, 2012 Population: 2,277 Delegate Endorsements: 631 Forum: http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi Political Events March was a very busy month in XKI politics. - Two elections were held in March for the Senate, and the Delegate election was held as well. - In the Senate, Paffnia ran for re-election for Lyonesse East. His opponent Robloxica managed to collect 20 votes, but Paffnia’s 52 vote total proved to be too much to surmount. Paffnia thus retained his seat with a plurality. -In Himes West, things were much closer. Walabama vacated his seat to run for Delegate, thus leaving the Himes West seat open. The Islands Party Primary was won by Ater Nox. In the General Election, he faced Independent candidates Aersoldorf and Glasgia. Under XKI election statutes, a candidate must win by a minimum of 50%, or else a runoff will result. Thus, Aersoldorf and Ater Nox faced each other in the region’s second consecutive run-off. In the runoff, Aersoldorf prevailed by a 14 vote margin. -The Delegate race featured a group of well known Islanders. Ananke, Walabama, and Shizensky all vied for the Delegate seat. Ananke prevailed by a large margin over the other candidates, thus winning the Delegate’s seat. Check out the election threads in the University’s Campaign Archives: http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cg...rd=HistoryBoard Thus, the composition of the current Council of Nine is: - Grub (Founder) - The Flower girl of Ananke II (Delegate) - MinnaCaroline (Minister of Immigration) - Takaram (Minister of Education) - Cerberion (Minister of Labor) - Paffnia (Senior Senator, Lyonesse East) - Markanite (Senator, New Republica South) - Malecia (Senator, Blue Canaria North) - Aersoldorf (Senator, Himes West) Featured Nations Featured Nations in March included Wordy, Blogotopia, Moog’s World, and Holilands. TITO News - TITO has successfully defended 1720 nations to date. March battles include: Tumblr, Deep Space, Middle East 3, The Music, The United States, Syria, District 10, Ecotopia 2, ZZ 9 Plural Alpha 2, Norway 7 (03-20-12) - Shizensky has become the most recent Knight of TITO. A member of XKI since 2005, this honor was a long time coming and well deserved. His perseverance is a shining example of the commitment of all our TITO members, Knights and non-Knights a like! -Executive Officer Ad Infinitum is celebrating his 8th year with TITO. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication, PAI! Current TITO Command: - Grub (Commander in Chief) - Ad Infinitum (Executive Officer) - Improving Wordiness (Field Commander) - Boltor (Tactical Officer) - Eist (Tactical Officer) Taco Island Taco Island continues to be the number one destination for fun and Tacos. Werewolf 13 kicked off in the middle of the month and is being moderated by Firstaria. While Shelter from the Storm tend to be a popular guy it seems like not everyone agree with how he’s running Taco Island. A topic dealing with his overthrow was recently posted and have already garnered 6 pages of discussion. At this point in time it seems to have morphed into a vanity thread for Major Shelter though. Mayor of Taco Island: - Shelter from the Storm Random Happenings - The Recruiting Team continues its outstanding work. As a result, shares of IMM stock now trade at 41 Tacos. Several of the Islands’ financial experts are predicting yet another Taco split. - The 5th Boltor Taco Review was published.
