Popular demand and logistical considerations have caused the Landtag, with the signature of President Meissner, to move the seat of the Saxon government to the city of Leipzig, which will hold the honor of being the new capital city of the Saxon state.

[Top Secret]

Inconspicuous minor complexes at an undisclosed location within the country have been working on the weaponization of pneumonic plague. With an estimated worst-case scenario 90% mortality rate and average of four persons infected per incubation period, bombs of this type would have devastating and far-reaching consequences for any region on which they were unleashed. Production is medium-scale and begins immediately.

Because of the large upgrades of equipment taken, it is possible for a robust and fully-automated network of production facilities to exist completely on a disconnected private network only reachable through use of a special government program that can only be designed on laptops of specific serial numbers on a government-specific secure, AES-256 encrypted operating system on custom-built parts made in very limited and organized quantities, distributed by the Saxon Stasi only to the most trusted and researched of hand-picked candidates who would then have the laptop specialized with their DNA sequences. Only the specific 32-character string for a matching combination of operating system number, parts numbers, and input DNA would give these special people access.

Supplies would be completely internal, completely low key, and protected using the same top secret methodologies. These technologies were so secret that not even the President herself was aware of the specifics, merely being told that capabilities existed to bring about these far-reaching consequences using an undisclosed superweapon. Funding was allocated behind closed doors in special committees, handsomely paid by strings in the shadows to not ask too many questions. The State of Saxony surely had one of the most robust and state-of-the-art secret military technology, propaganda, and intelligence services in the entire world.

The Islamic world was in chaos. Heresies abound in the holy land, with lowly men claiming themselves gods, and Romanians pretending to be Emperors. Persecuted and disgusted with what had happened to their homeland, they were ready to abandon the so-called "holy land" for land where they could worship without fear.

They would find this El Dorado through General Supreme of the Grünreich Wilhelm von Hofenheimer. Himself a converted Muslim immigrant from the Balkans region, he saw need to aid the Muslims in their plight. He opened up the doors to immigrants from Turkey, the Balkans, and the Levant. Hundreds of thousands of skilled and unskilled laborers poured into the country, causing a massive population and economic boom. The nation itself was a statue of liberty, built on the ruins of Baghdad and glued together with good will.

With over 2 million persons in the country, and a quarter of them Muslims, the artistic styles of the Muslims influenced and synergized with modern Germanic culture. Combined with the traditions of the Icelanders and native Greenlanders, the Grünreich truly was an Empire of cultures. With the state patronage enacted by the General Supreme, a technological and artistic Golden Age was upon the roof of the world.

The annexation of Greenland was going smoothly. Continued ties with both Hungary-Slovakia and the Northlands helped to fuel the building of the new nation through the power of wealth-generating trade. The nation grew stronger under the just and honest rule of the Supreme General.

The annexation of Greenland was still going smoothly. All was well, and everything seemed stable. The settlers and natives had begun to see each other as fellow countrymen, and industry continued to strengthen. Despite an incident in the capital wherein a donkey got loose and killed fifteen babies using only its genitals, morale had never been higher.

"Ahh...." said the Supreme General.

"Ohhh... oh god. Oh yeah baby squeeze it out."

The Supreme General was having trouble taking a shit, as he was constipated due to his excessive opiate binges. But today, he had finally managed to squeeze out a brick of tar into the China White bowl.

"Whew..." he signed with relief, wiping sweat from his brow. "Thank god that's over."

And it was, until the next day.
