It is an important report, and I urge all to read it:

You've got Sedge, Syl, and a few others all arguing you deserve a 15th chance and the benefit of the doubt, and you're doing your damnedest to piss them off into not caring to bother standing up for you.
So, in a way, your sarcasm is right: in the foreseeable future, it will not happen, because you're making it impossible for them.

Congratulations to HMS NHS, who scored the highest mark of 17/25!
There was a tie for dead last, too, between Golden Impirial Utopia and MineLegotia and Equestria, with 7/25 each.
Some other interesting stats: Question 10 was the easiest question, with every participant scoring correctly on it, while Question 18 was the hardest, with every participant scoring incorrectly on it.
HMS NHS guessed Question 20 correctly and received the 5 bonus points; if they hadn't, the winner would have been West Heisen, who scored 13/25.
Congratulations to all participants! This truly was an ultimate quiz!

Confederation Economic Report
December 2021
This is a report compiled by the Department of Finance giving an overview of state of the economy of Confederation of Corrupt Dictators, as it stands at the end of December 2021, with the scope of data analysed extending from December 1 to December 31. It is being posted on this forum quite late in January 2022 due to communicative difficulties or something.
A general rating of the CCD's economic productive efficiency is given by the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index:
74.77
Growth since December 1:
+1.19%
The Confederation's economy has displayed a steady upswing, confirming Department hopes that late November's turnaround would be sustained. Member nations are encouraged to take full advantage of this growth through increased interregional trade and investment.
Average GDP displayed strong growth over the month, increasing 5.44% at a generally steady rate, and is projected to rise to 954.1 trillion flamas by the end of January 2022. GDP growth was likely driven by an increase of consumer and business demand in light of the festive season, particularly for large quantities of Monet & Chardin.
The same positive trajectory was exhibited by GRP growth, which spiked in accordance with population fluctuations but overall is increasing. While real GRP only grew by 0.3% over December, it is expected to grow at an increased rate in January 2022 based on the trends of other economic indicators.
Employment has stagnated, with the Labor Force Participation Rate remaining largely constant throughout the month and falling overall by 0.15%. November's peak Income Equality was not surpassed, with the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale falling by 1.31% over December. These factors indicate that the recent upswing in economic activity has largely been to the benefit of investors and businesses rather than the working class.
Stock Market
The CSM, across all companies, rose in value in December; this is regarded by the Department as both a cause and effect of the recent boom period. The values of investment portfolios have overall changed as follows:
Investor Gain/Loss (Flamas) % Change Government of Deman Kalan +1651 +15.9 Government of Golden Impirial Utopia +5 +1.75 Central Imperial Direktorate of Jocospor +534 +5.13 Government of Minelegotipony +5833 +55.1 Bob Wallace of Nova Occidens +93 +6.19 Institute for Industrial Reconstruction of Ridnez +1191 +7.77 Government of Vicotis Kor +495 +5.33
Summary
The Confederation has come a long way in 2021, facing both great challenges and great successes. A compilation of Average National GDP, over the period it has been tracked by the Department, shows the impact of the harrowing recession which wracked our region. Though our nations are not yet as rich as they were before, recovery has begun.
Gross Regional Product tells a different tale: growth in face of countless setbacks and falls. Our Confederation together is a mighty force, and we weathered recession and war to keep the regional economy expanding. While it has stagnated in recent times, experience shows that the Confederation will endure and prosper.
As always, the ideologies and doctrines employed by the plethora diverse member states of our region have shifted with the times. Perhaps in light of the crises we faced and the frequent need for strong government action, Planned economies had grown the most by the end of 2021 to form to comprise over a third of CCD nations, while the Mixed economy remained the overall most popular choice at just over half. While the Market economy's share of the pie has been shrinking, it is still the way of life for over a tenth of the Confederation.
However these proportions may shift in 2022, one thing is for sure: we are a mighty force when all united around the flag of our one great region.
Hail the Confederation!

I wholeheartedly agree with Tinhampton here.
As somebody who worked a great deal with Civitas during our days in the Union of Allied States, I always believed that he would create a region that would advocate for democracy, equal rights, and respect for all. His recent move to CCD is concerning to say the least, and my new region of Amaranth will soon be publicly opposed to this move.
My scepticism of Civitas' close relationship with CCD contributed to many factors and led me to leave the Republic of Allied States and create my own region - to oppose the kind of doctrines regions such as CCD promote.
