Two billionth citizen born today in Pacitalia
At 7:28 a.m. [[OOC: CDT]] this morning, the nation of Pacitalia welcomed its two billionth citizen into the world. A young girl weighing a healthy 3.8 kg was born at North Sambuca's Euroslavia Civil War Memorial Hospital to a crowd of happy nurses and doctors and a beaming, proud mother, who had just bore her third bundle of joy.
The news of the birth spread through Sambuca's largest suburb of 700,000 people like wildfire, and parties and celebrations on the streets soon enveloped the entire metropolitan area by 11:00 this morning. The mood across the country is definitely ecstatic.
Prime Minister Timothy Ell is currently flying north to Sambuca to personally visit the mother and congratulate her on her new baby and her (rather substantial, we must say) part in helping Pacitalia reach such an amazing milestone of two billion, yes, two billion residents.
Ironically, the mother of the "Milestone Baby" has revealed that she had originally planned to get an abortion in the early stages, not because she didn't want the baby, but because she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer turned out to actually be a benign cyst and the abortion was cancelled with the cyst removed a few days later.
It will be a day of parties all across Pacitalia as 16th April, the day we reached two billion residents, is marked and remembered for days, months and years to come.
