Sallodesia again has hit worldwide headlines for something most nations have come to struggle with: blood donations. For the first time in history, Sallodesia has been able to maintain a blood supply surplus for five years. The initial campaign of Sallodesians for Sallodesians has faced many hurdles before, but now maintains a steady supply as 1% of the population are frequent plasma and blood donors. This puts Sallodesia among the largest donors on Pacifica. The campaign was largely successful due to captivating a large portion of students which continue to donate blood well into their working careers. Although donation restrictions seem a paradox to student life, steady couples have become the new norm. The Sallodesian Red Cross continues to hold many campaigns promoting donation dates, free movie tickets and many other seasonal gifts. However when asked through a survey, most donors continue to donate because they believe it's the right thing to do or a small payment back towards society at large. A show of true Sallodesian solidarity.

However, the reserves have stated that Sallodesia has gained a steady supply and have begun to ask the government for other alternatives. While Sallodesia might have a healthy reserves, other countries still struggle with low supply. Especially in developing countries, this has been a raise for concerns. Currently, the Secretary of State Muanko has agreed to expand future agreements to also include easier exports of stored Sallodesian blood. While Sallodesian continue to give to each other in surplus, they might instead also share some with the rest of the world. Secretary Muanko has also stated an interest in a wider network of blood supply with neighbouring nations as well as Entente allies. As some radicals have called for such a network to work worldwide, some officials have confirmed that some corner of the government are looking into the possibility to create a worldwide network through the World Forum. One thing remains for certain though, Sallodesian blood will continue to circulate within the nation.
