Population Compensation

According to Article V, Section 4 of the NDL Charter, countries with smaller populations are due compensation. Each of these countries will have a citizen designated by the NDL to serve as "double citizen". This double citizen will earn double WIDs during their month of service. The schedule of double citizen service has been sent to underpopulated countries. The WWB tellers have calculated back-dated compensation and dispersed the following compensation funds:

September:
H.A.T.E.: +4 Energy (Hum. Speech-off - Barbieri)
Kraü: +2 Energy and +2 Ind. (Hum. Speech-off - Wilson)
Fortisian Union: +2 Energy and +2 Ind. (Hum. Speech-off - Curtis)

October:
Kraü: +7 Mil. and +1 Food (Waterballon Launch - Artrip)
Fortisian Union: +1 Tech (Waterballoon Launch - Eisenman)
Kraü: +5 Food (Physics Lab Practical - Artrip)
Fortisian Union: +5 Food (Physics Lab Practical - Eisenman)
Kraü: +1 Food (Physics Discussion Board - Artrip)

All future population compensations will be included in the initial score postings on NDL Scorewatch.

Bank Fees Plaguing Some Nations

Despite many efforts through trade and banking, countries are still finding their CWI dropping due to nagging bank fees. 10% MAR fees are assessed from a country's highest MAR holding if any holding is below minimum balance. Thankfully a weekend is here giving countries a couple of fee free days to develop a plan to pull balances up. Here are the latest fees reported from the WWB for insufficient funds at the close of business on 10/2/2008:

Fortisian Union: -2 Food (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
Aeridis: -2 House (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
Dystopia: -3 Mil. (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
Kandistan: -2 House (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
C.S.A.: -2 Mil. (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
L.E.G.S.: -3 Mil. (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
W. Korea: -2 House (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
Shangrila: -3 Mil. (WWB Insufficient funds fee)

Countries should be mindful that fees fro Friday will not be recorded until Monday. Be sure to make your trades/bank transactions based upon projected balances after Friday fees are assessed.
