After a long two years, we are ready to issue bonuses in time for 1/18.  We thank you for your participation in various conflicts, or at least your great patience as they took place.

Population increases:  2% except for:

CSA - 2.5%
Japan - 2.5%
Maoria - 2.5%
RRC - 2% - war cancels out efforts
DKB, Netherlands - 1.75% - mobilized long enough to make a dent
NS - 2% - entertainment value of civil war offsets temptation to adjust downward

Refugees had to reflect active efforts to pick up refugees, or at least some interest in taking them in.  It can be assumed that they were transported over the course of the past two years, but are only now being integrated into the economy and issued citizenshp.

Austria - 50,000
Italy - 200,000
GC - 25,000
Iberia - 25,000
Orange - 10,000
ESC - 100,000

Story/gaming bonuses - for guys like Tex or Guinness, in the process of moving, they can decide where they wish to apply it.  We decided to issue it in civilian cash; you can make use of it in 1/18 or 2/18 as you see fit (though we'd remind you of that IC:BP ratio discussion...)

There, that's what I was trying to put into words. Thanks Mike for the statement, and the Mod Squad for the $$. :D

I think it is mandatory that the two of you donate all that cash to a poor nation that really needs it (=> Egypt). :)

*Kaiser puts on his reading glasses, that NO ONE makes fun of*
Egypt....Egypt...Egypt...AH..there it is. That little speck north of Ost Afrika? Why would We care about it. It's surrounded by either Allies or at least non-enemies. Well, except the damnable Turk to the East. But I don't fear the Turk, I'm friends with the Inquisitor AND the Pope.

Hahaha ;D

You're so generous.  ;D

More seriously, $37,50... it's just the revenue of Egypt for one half-year.

Hey, free IC! Excellent!

I get a bonus? Cool :)
