Eggrarian public schools have closed in the 13th, northern 3rd, and 8th Districts in order to protect schools from being attacked by opposing forces. Barricades are being built by the recently heightened Eggrarian defense forces. Other non-essential government functions will be shut down temporarily and reapportioned to other sections of the nation. The fourteenth district has been since denounced with the powers of the Presiding Minister and no longer is given the functions of governance within Eggraria. Many are concerned about the decision, wondering how it will affect the upcoming policy decisions of the first quarter.
