[indent]2020 was a mostly quiet year for Melizea, if you were not a Balruban smuggler anyway. A new [b][color=green]Budget[/color][/b] would need to be passed and voted on, delegated out to the relevant ministries. President Saavedra would be up for re-election in 2024. [/indent]

[indent]News reports of the COVID-19 mutation continued to ramp up, infections in China had reached 495,000 in weeks with reports of "virulent and aggressive patients" infected with the disease attempting to attack the nurses and doctors attempting to help them. China immediately closed their borders, citing "fear of external reproach," but it's assumed that several Chinese nationals escaped before the order was implemented.

The first case of the COVID-19K mutation was reported in the Arkanian Federation on January 6th, 2021.[/indent][/indent]
