Five Billion and Counting
By Thomas T. Sparks, Editor

BALKAN CITY - Today, at roughly 5:15 A.M., a baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Vergansam of Balkan City, weighing in a seven pounds and four ounces. But this was no ordinary child; no, the child was not born with six extra limbs or four heads, he was the five-billionth Asgarnian Citizen.

On news of this joyous occasion, President Herbert made his way to Balkan City Mercy hospital to personaly greet the family and congratulate them. It was there that President Herbert offered the family a complete tax break and gave the child a ten million Gold Point trust fund in his name, to be opened at the age of 17.

In a surprising note of irony, only five years ago, the four-billionth citizen was born at the same hospital-in the same bed.

To celebrate this day, the Asgarnian Armed Forces Command is staging a massive parade and air show in Balkan City, to take place for five days, including a Fleet Week.

RE: Population milestone

It is with great pleasure that I, and the Protectorate of Lyras at large, hear of the achievement that you have reached. The 5 billion milestone is one rarely reached, and is a cause of celebration, not that I would presume to preach to you.

The world is populated by many who flaunt the laws of honour, decency and integrity, and the strengthening of your nation that this achievement represents is a victory in itself for those who hold those selfsame qualities as dear as do we.

Stand undaunted, brothers, and we shall stand with you.
