Earlier this month the Maximum Interest Act was amended to clarify some gaps in the law.
In other news the National Park Act has been resurrected! It will be signed into law sometime this week; lawmakers were unable to explain the delay.
In other, other news; today is the day! What’s today you might ask? Well Independence day of course! I don’t have much other news to talk about, so have a slightly whimsical year overview! (Click each month to see details)
January
Silver spiked to all time highs over $113/troy ounce just as a new currency design was issued. During the spike Ƃ1 would have had an exchange rate over $11.3.
February
The Minimum Wage Act was redefined to no longer need daily, yes… daily, adjustments. Digital ID Cards were phased out, and silver had its worst day since the 80s.
March, April, May, and June
The Government of Bearland was dealing with a fresh note crisis as the mint pumped out bear at a snail’s pace. Voluntary Income Taxes (VIT) were established as a way for the government to get more bear, they are voluntary contributions from wages. The National Park Act was announced but delayed.
July and August
A Bearland based entertainment company, Personal Computer Arcade Company, started development on new games. The Treasury of Bearland began work on new blockchain technology, which will ideally revolutionize how citizens across the world use and spend their bear with other Bearlandic citizens one day.
On September 7, 2025 the Sovereign Nation of Bearland declared independence from Canada. Since then, much has been accomplished internally; but there is still much more to get done. I look forward to the future of Bearland, there are so many digital and potentially physical (South Bearland) infrastructure projects planned. To everyone who has applied for citizenship, yes even those who didn’t put in a real email so we couldn’t send you an acceptance e-letter, thank you.
