Earlier today President Sea Urchin sent the traditional Christmas message to New Sparta and Epiphany:
"Colleagues, 2118 has been a momentous year for New Sparta. We have joined UNP and now have a more assured and stable future. New Sparta has continued to develop it's space and terrestrial forces. Our space forces are second to none and in 2119 we will continue to improve our fleet and also our terrestrial forces which are now a vital component of the New Spartan military power. We have also welcomed Starbot back into our family.
I know there are challenges. The Epiphany project is not without it's difficulties but I am sure that we will fully integrate with UNP by the end of next year. Next year will also have the second NS Presidential election. I will not stand again but I am sure that whomever does became the next NS President will continue our path to stability and potential.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
