- Ingame this month Grub ranked 93rd in the world for Largest Population, while Surprise was 3rd in the world for Most Politically Free, a very nice placement.
Earth Federation (32), The Colonial Fleet (48), Lamborghini Murcielago (65) and Tzo (89) all did very well in the Most Scientifically Advanced category. Earth Federation also ended up in the top 100 for Largest Retail Industry with a placement as 75th in the world, with Berzerkastan close by at 89.
Trade is not everything though. Blogotopia and New Dracora knows this and therefore ranked 51th and 70th in Highest Poor Incomes.
A healthy society has a wellread population, with Cyrenean ranked 4th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry and New Gilboa 68th.

TITO News
- November proved to be a busy month for TITO. The number of successful missions remained constant (although there was a spike mid-month) and the relatively high number of occupied regions kept both Command Staff and troops busy.
- The month was also busy with regards to celebrations. 104 Banbury Road, Hakketomat and Kortexia were all knighted by the TITO Field Commander for achieving 50 TITO Battle Stars. Former two-term Delegate Markanite was promoted to TITO Knight Battalion Commander for earning 150 Battle Stars. The Knights also threw a rousing party for Escanaba following his promotion to TITO Knight Fleet Commander. This rank is awarded to TITO Knights with more than 400 Battle Stars. Escanaba is only the fifth member of TITO to achieve this (following former Field Commanders Titanica, Anime Daisuki and Improving Wordiness as well as former Tactical Officer Boltor). He is the first member of TITO to have earned 400 Battle Stars without having served a single Day in TITO Command.
- TITO Command once again extends its sincerest congratulations to 104 Banbury Road, Hakketomat, Kortexia, Markanite and Escanaba!

Around the Islands
- With all the shenanigans going on in Taco Island, Ater Nox decided to start a new Law School. It mostly seem to be aimed at crooked lawyers though, which doesn’t really come as a surprise, considering the kind of characters who frequent Taco Island...
- For some reason the Taco Islands denizens have gotten their hands on a Trebuchet and are currently trying to take down the courthouse, possibly to keep from getting sued or going to jail.
- Going with this month’s law team Boltor seems to be trying to frame Louisistan, while Ater Nox and Tanzoria are suing Hakketomat for slander. Fortunately for Hakketomat, the truth tends to be an decent defense against slander, and considering Ater Nox and Tanzoria’s reputations it’s hard to see how they can be further tarnished.
- The featured nations in 10ki this month were Glassdrummond and Nodenmanns Land.
