In Chile, more than 4,200 tonnes of salmon have fallen victim to killer algae. Chile is the world's second-largest producer of salmon. There are around 18 salmon farms in the south of Chile which produces around 26 percent of the world's salmon. They all have been affected due to the deadly algae. This problem will cost Chile 25 RP.
COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on all JN countries. The emergence of new viral strains and people in countries around the world getting complacent of prevention protocols and lockdowns have caused infection numbers to climb over the winter. One bright spot has been the emergence of vaccines that may work against the virus. As a result, the JN has a choice for how to solve its continuing COVID-19 problem.
Stay the course. This choice will result in a .05 RP per active serious case in each country at the time of each meeting.
Get vaccinated. The only JN country with a working vaccine is the USA. Countries can avoid the COVID-19 weekly problem by buying the vaccine from the US at a negotiated price.

- A Tawainese mega container ship ran aground in the Suez canal blocking the important sea passage. More than 12% of global trade passes through the Suez Canal. Egyptian authorities are scrambling to free the ship, but it could take weeks. The world is already fearing disruptions in already stressed supply chains. Countries in North Africa, Europe, the Mediterranean are especially affected by the disruption. This problem will cost Algeria, France, Sweden, and Turkey 35 RP, and all other countries face a 20 RP problem.
Turkey is facing a currency crisis that has been worsened by the firing of the head of its central bank. The bank was trying to control inflation by raising rates, a politically unpopular move. The firing has resulted in a collapse in confidence in the Turkish economy, a sell-off of turkish assets, and a loss of almost 10% of the lira’s value. The currency is nearing an all-time low, and inflation continues to rise. Turkey must find capital to stabilize its currency so its already sky economy can remain afloat.

Thousands of protestors lined the streets of Tripoli and other cities to mark the first Hirak protest since they were stopped due to COVID a year ago. The protests were a common sight in 2019 when they started. Their goal was to oust then long-time president Bouteflika. After he resigned, the protests continued, now they are demanding more change from the government that was elected as people are unhappy with the state of the economy and the new constitution. This problem will cost Algeria 32 RP.
Ukraine has announced that it has been hacked yet again by a group in Russia. This time the country’s government data portals were targeted. The hackers installed malware that corrupted government files and important data. Ukraine experiences numerous cyberattacks from Russia, and it appears its cybersecurity is not up to merit.

A recent bombing of a truck in eastern Algeria that killed five and left three wounded has served as a reminder that Islamic radicalism and terrorism remains a problem in the country. These groups have set up camps and bases in the remote areas of Algeria that have been difficult to root out and destroy. The recent attack is a reminder that increased military and security spending is needed. This problem will cost Algeria 28 RP.
To add to its problems, Sweden was forced to cull 1.4 million chickens as several confirmed cases of highly contagious bird flu was detected on several farms in Kalmar County. This cull has resulted in significant losses for the farmers and has the potential to disrupt poultry and egg production. This problem will cost Sweden 28 RP.
COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on all JN countries. The emergence of new viral strains and people in countries around the world getting complacent of prevention protocols and lockdowns have caused infection numbers to climb.

Turkey is facing a water shortage, recent reports show that dams in the country are at or below 33% capacity. Istanbul itself may have less than 50 days of water remaining. Much of the problems lie in that the climate is changing causing doubt periods to last longer, the Turkish government prioritizing economic growth over environmental protection. This has led to poorly maintained water basins that collect and hold drinking water. To solve this problem, Turkey must secure 50 RP in foreign aid before the end of the next meeting.
A massive snowstorm struck Sweden this past week leaving drifts of snow up to 60 cm in some places in northern Sweden. The storm was one of the biggest in many years and left about 3000 people without power at a time when temperatures drop as low as -40 degrees. This problem will cost Sweden 30 RP.
News that Algerian President Tebboune has had to return to Germany for more medical treatment has left the country in a leadership crisis. With economic and health problems ripping through the country, some are calling it “the great upheaval”. The series of crises have left citizens feeling stressed, anxious, with no economic prospects. Adding insult to injury has been a steep rise in domestic violence, according to the Algerian daily. The Algerian black market has grown to be worth $60 billion as trust in the government plummets and people prepare for the worst. This problem will cost Algeria 45 RP.
A 6.2 magnitude earthquake has killed at least 34 and injured hundreds in Indonesia. Landslides and collapsing buildings caused widespread destruction and disruption. This problem will cost Indonesia 20 RP.

The Muslim terrorist group of Boko Haram has been active over the past month in Nigeria. It has led raids, kidnapped children, and led attacks on Christian villages. The latest attack on Christmas Eve left 7 dead. Nigeria needs to dedicate resources to bring more security to its people. This problem will cost Nigeria 30 RP.
A dispute of over taxation of “borderless” digital transactions on companies like Amazon and Google has led to a bit of a trade war between France and the US. France has insisted on taxing the mega-corporations’ profits in the country while the US has placed tariffs on almost $2 billion worth of French imports. This is causing harm to both countries’ economies at a time when things are pretty bad. This problem will cost both the US and France 25 RP or one country and take their case to the JN to get the other to pay the entire problem.
Labor malpractice in Indonesia’s palm oil industry has come to international attention as recent reports have brought to light child labor and deforestation of the rain forests. Palm oil is the world’s most consumed vegetable oil, it’s high demand has led to increasing production. While providing good products for people in other countries, it has spread human rights abuses across Indonesia. This problem will cost Indonesia 24 RP.

A recent change in how Turkey reports COVID-19 cases has revealed that the country is in the midst of a serious surge in new virus cases. The new transparency has revealed that Turkish hospitals are getting overwhelmed, and virus may be spreading out of control. Turkey. The country leapt into the top 3 in new cases this week with 30,000+. Turkey must consider social restrictions to contain the surge or risk a humanitarian crisis. This problem will cost Turkey 45 RP.
A new partial-lockdown is being implemented in Chile as cases spike 18%. Chile’s health minister said this was a preventative measure to ensure that Chile won’t see another terrible surge like they had in the spring. While great for preventing cases and death, lockdowns are catastrophic for a country’s economy. Chile is in for a tough winter. This problem will cost Chile 35 RP.
Poor economic management, COVID-19, and an unstable global economy have led to a cascade of problems for the Algerian economy. 90% of Algeria’s economy is connected to oil. As the pandemic has crushed global demand for oil and sent prices crashing, Algeria has seen its debt grow and oil reserves fall. Furthermore, it’s currency, the dinar, is now at an all-time low. Hard times are ahead for Algeria’s economy as it tries to prevent an economic collapse. This problem will cost Algeria 40 RP.

Life expectancy in Sweden has fallen because the failure of the “Sweden Model” of handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Sweden is nowhere near herd immunity, the goal of its lax approach to lockdowns. In response, Sweden has begun to implement stricter COVID control measures such as closing businesses, limiting gathering sizes, and more. This problem will cost Sweden 23 RP.
An increase in violence and banditry from various groups and gangs in northeast Nigeria have led to the government basically losing control of the region. This has forced the local population to strive to fend for itself. This region is a very poor region of Nigeria. These attacks and crimes have severely diminished the already struggling economy through frequent cattle rustling and kidnappings. Loss of control means a loss of tax revenue. This problem will cost Nigeria 25 RP.

A series of forest fires in Western Algeria have destroyed fruit trees, landed at least 50 people in the hospital, and have killed 4.

This problem will cost Algeria 22 RP.
Oh no! Mongolia has reported it’s first instance of domestically transmitted COVID-19. Mongolia has thus far been largely spared from the outbreak by heavily restricting travel to and from Mongolia.

The economic impact will no doubt be harsh. This problem will cost Mongolia 17 RP.

Even though the unit has been disbanded, protests have continued for police reform in the country. The government has implemented a curfew but protests have continued and tensions are running high. This problem will cost Nigeria 25 RP.
A battery of problems hit France this past week. A teacher was beheaded by a Muslim migrant because he used cartoons of Mohammed in the classroom. Protests resulted en mass across the country leading to counter attacks on both sides both in France and around the world. Furthermore, COVID-19 is now surging in France again.
