Propers indeed! I wouldn’t trade it for a Pulitzer. Oh, excuse me. The Pulitzer comes with money; $10,000, you say? I’ve been ill-‌informed. Well, I wouldn’t trade it for a Nobel prize! Ah. I see. Well, I wouldn’t trade it for the lunch I didn’t have today.
I swear it took me by surprise even more than you. I tried back-‌tracking the query and came up with a country I shall not divulge except in the following bits of flotsam.
  1. It’s the most literate country in the world (which obviously rules out all the English speaking ones).
  2. I don’t know anyone there.
  3. I studied their early literature at uni, as my friends down under might say.
In any case, let’s just focus on #1 above and bask like a shark of same name.

It all needs to be on one line to run.
perl -MLWP::Simple -MXML::Simple -le 'print XMLin( get("http://dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition") )->{CONDITION}'
Oh, I know. That’s a bit spastic. Try this if you wanna hold onto it for some reason; for all the good it’s gonna do you. 
use LWP::Simple;
use XML::Simple;

print XMLin
  (
   get('http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition')
   )->{CONDITION}, $/;
One more which doesn’t require a web connection and has thus far proved 100% accurate. 
my @level = qw( Low Guarded Elevated High Severe );
