Another busy month in the Immigration Department which saw over 20,000 Telegrams sent out. Most notable were the achievements of Coreyo and Escanaba whose combined efforts saw over 500 new nations brought into the region. Coreyo sent out the most telegrams this month, and so for the first time in over a year Escanaba is not our Top Recruiter of the Month. A hearty 'thank you' and congratulations to both! We also thank Lower Columbia, for sending out over 3,500 telegrams and maintaining a 3.6% success rate. And of course our thanks go to all the other recruiters - whether you spend hours or minutes recruiting, your help is appreciated.

This month saw a huge amount of confirmed new islanders on the forum, even compared to recent months when the number has steadily been increasing, so this means our Buddies have been kept busy for the month. I’d like to thank the buddies for their hard work and efforts.
