Crackdowns On Tax Evasion Begin Throughout KeymonLocal Businesswomen Being Arrested For Tax EvasionNovember 4456-The Ministry of Justice has opened an investigation into widespread tax evasion exposed by a separate investigation conducted by the Tax Commission of the Ministry of Finance. Proteus Geros, Minister of Justice stated that his Ministry, specifically the Office of the Prosecution of Financial Crimes , has launched an investigation with regards to the investigation conducted by the Tax Commission.
The President commented on the investigation in a television interview:
It is quite sad when people decide to, instead of assisting the nation, spend it on there own devices. The Keymonite tax code is one of the least restrictive ones in world and yet people decide to not file there taxes properly or at all. Instead they transfer there cash to offshores bank accounts. No more! The Keymonite government will work with other countries to eliminate tax fraud and better our nation.

Agricultural Exports Reach Record HighPinnaple Farm near LeighstownDecember 4446-Agricultural exports, mainly pineapples and papayas, have reached record highs which haven’t been seen in over 100 years.
However, what caused this sudden explosion in agricultural exports? Mainly, the increase in farming subsidies that the recently passed budget gave farmers. Farming subsidies have nearly doubled since the budget was passed, and with more cash, farmers are able to produce more and more produce.
However many economic analysts have stated that this is unlikely to last. One wrote-
Farming subsidies cannot make up for the lack of modern equipment and chemicals that other nations maintain. While many large farms in Keymon posses such equipment, a majority of smaller, local farms do not. To continue on this economic trend upwards, the people in charge must begin a firm push for modernization of agriculture. If they do not, these subsidies will be wasted cash.
A recent study by the Ministry of Agriculture has shown that, of 1500 small farms(farms that employ less that 10 people), only 39 percent have any kind of modern equipment like tractors, mechanical hoes, etc.

Reports of Wolfshein Disease In Keymon Sparks PanicBiohazard Experts Leaves houses of the infectedFebruary 4447-A series of reports that have confirmed that the Wolfshein disease has been found in Vitaiocus, a small suburb 25 miles north of Turtle Bay, has shocked the nation.
This shock has quickly turned to panic as many people are stocking up on supplies like water, food and batteries as well as hand sanitizer, antibiotics and firearms.
Vitaiocus has been completely quarantined, with the entire town being surrounded by police and medical professionals.
However the Head of Health and Social Services, Sotiris Rodas, has stated that this may not prevent the spreading of the disease:
There is no certain way that we can guarantee the disease is still in Vitaiocus. It could’ve been spread to any part of Keymon at this point. So this advice every Keymonite should take to heart. Remain extremely hygienic and do not panic.
While this quarantine isn’t 100 percent guaranteed to stop the disease, it will slow it down. There are simple steps to be taken concerning any contagious disease and that is to try and avoid dangerous behaviors like not washing your hands.
Keymonites, do not panic. Panicking will only harm the nation and our efforts to stop the disease. While this is a dangerous situation, we do not encourage you to take hasty and dangerous precautions like stealing or looting. The Keymonite people are strong and no disease will keep us down. So do not partake in dangerous and hasty behaviors and decisions.
We have requested medical assistance from all Northern Council nations in determining where the disease is heading IF it has escaped quarantine and how to stop it. If the disease has been quarantined successfully, the neighborhood will remain in isolation for 1-2 months to guarantee the disease is dead.
We have faced the Wolfshein Disease before, and while it is always a threat, we have defeated it. Do not fear Keymonites, but be cautious.
Thank you
