*whispers* what is your favorite taco?

Happy to be here! My favorite taco would definitely be tacos de birria. Goat meat is elite and thinking about the sauce makes my mouth water. Carnitas and fajita are tied for second place.

Yes! ATP is a part of XKI, so both regions share the same discord. You can access below:

Islanders,

There's nothing like waking up early in the morning, fresh-faced and bushy-tailed, turning the screen on, and seeing those horrible, unintelligible garbage messages puked out from NationStates where you expected to see messages from your fellow Islanders. The staff here at The Breaking Wave sympathizes with your frustration this past month. But don't worry my friends, the week-long downtime in no way impacted our ability to bring to you the latest and greatest news from 10,000 Islands! We *definitely* didn't relax on the beach, sipping cocktails and enjoying the view, our feet lapped softly by the waves as the tide went in and out, instead of diligently following leads and writing the interesting and informative articles you've come to expect in XKI's premier newsletter!

So please enjoy the Monthly Report and Breaking Wave!

News from Around the Islands

Taco Island Debates

Our newest Council member, Senator for New Republica South The World Defense Organization, has been hard at work running debates in the Grand Debate Hall recently, prompting interesting discussions on a variety of topics:

LinkShould pennies still be minted?
LinkWill asteroid mining become a “thing” in the future?
LinkWhich XKI Officer has the most power?
LinkA discussion on climate change

If you’re interested in debate and intellectual discussion, keep an eye open for new threads in the LinkGrand Debate Hall on our Proboards forum!


Goodest Boy/Bestest Girl

This new segment of The Breaking Wave will feature the beloved pets of the 10000 Islands and A Taco Paradise.

This month Venvee Republic would like to introduce us to their red eared slider turtle, “Stretch”.

Stretch was found during Christmas week of 2016 and was named after the “Stretch” Cunningham character from the old sitcom All in the Family. Venvee is convinced that Stretch is secretly an previously-unheard of ninja turtle; the critter is an escape artist and has managed to flee his tank twice, once landing uninjured after a six foot fall from the fireplace mantle. (Venvee also notes that Stretch appears to be fascinated by fire.)

Stretch enjoys a nice shrimp snack and sunbathing on his rock for hours at a time. He also has a credit as a co-author for an MLA research paper, although his contributions were primarily motivation and morale boosting for the other (human) author.

Do you have a pet you’d like to share with the Islands? Contact Pantso by Telegram or Discord to get into the next edition of The Breaking Wave!


XKI Game-Side

Hiccup!

As I’m sure you all know, NationState was down for about 10 days in April, apparently due to the catastrophic failure of one of their drives. While most data was recovered, trading card collections for the past year have been lost and, at the time of this writing, are unavailable.

The NS News page has more information and is still being updated as they make more progress recovering from the failure: page=news

Back up your data, kiddos!

The 10,000 Islands congratulates several of its citizens and residents this month for their accomplishments:
