Greetings, friends and fellow Believers.

This year has been the time that tries the souls of men. Our recent battles with demonic forces has caused out nation much infrastructure damage. God alone nows what shape we would have been in if the Holy Blessed Martyrs had not been so willing to sacrafice them for the sake of their bretheren.
Repairing of the damaged infrastructure continues, and will in to the foreseeable future. Be assured that the Shield and Sword of the Lord's engineering corp have been directed to spead up repairs to the damaged infrastructure.
The homosexual and Atheist element has been removed from our Holy and Righteous Empire, glory to God! We can give thanks to the Lord that our holy and righteous nation has been delivered from the wickedness of these sexual and spiritual deviants.
Recently digging in a the area of New Jerusalem has unvieled an ancient temple. We believe that this temple is based on the Temple of Solomon. We see this as a sing from the Lord to reestablish the Lords temple and reintroduce the spiritual service of the priesthood.
We therefore wil be levying a 5% sin tax on alcohol, tobacco and any other nonbe healthy activity. In addition, a 3% tarriff tax will be placed on imports from forieng nations. The funds will be used to refurbish the Temple and to restart the daily service of the priesthood (clergy) before the lord.
