"I come here today to annouce that the Atlantians have finally found a home. New Byzantium has given us control of the Greek Island of Rhodes. We are deeply grateful to them, and will always remember this gesture of kindness toward the Atlantian Federation. And now, we sail and fly from Andonia to Rhodes, which we have renamed New Atlantis!"

President Arkantos gave this speech from the Apollo today, confirming the rumors that a land had been found for us. this will be the AFNN's only broadcast from Andonia. Godspeed to everyone. We'll see you in New Atlantis!

Byzantium, uncharacteristically, recognizes and welcomes the Atlantian Federation to the world.

OOC: Don't worry, everyone. I do expect you to use this chance wisely, Arkantos.

OOC: People really should stop offering/accepting small islands.

Just for reference, the nation name is "Atlantian Federation", the name of the island is New Atlantis.

OOC: Lol, why?



OOC: Alright, got it.

OOC I supose you'll join the Atlantis Search, or just a coincidence?

(or are you already in it?)

Despite the name change we still regard this shamble of "people" as terrorists. We do not recognise this "nation".

West Virginia makes a statement to her American Allies

White Altea, or Atlantea as it wants itself to be known as has stepped on many toes, it is now far away, and should be put out of our minds. We have larger, and more important problems at this moment, and should be working towards a New Era within the American Continent

At least give them a chance.

President DeSchaine and Secretary Adams stood looking at a world map. DeSchaine had a magnifying glass in his hand as he studied the Eastern Med.

"Where did that say it was again, Gerry?"

"Umm... according to Google... about 400 clicks west of Cyprus and slightly north... find it?"

"No, not ye..oh, wait, yep. There it is. Why, thats nothing more than a sliver." He leaned back and looked thoughtful. "Ok, here's what we'll do. I'll flip a coin. Heads, we recognize them, tails, we dont." He dug out a coin and flipped it into the air. The light glinted off of it as it spun, falling to the floor with a clink. They both knelt to see the result.

"Huh. Heads. How bout that. Ok, I guess we recognize them then. Issue the statement, Gerry."

OOC: ...that is plainly EPIC!

We no longer regard Altea as a rogue state. Within the Republic, their nation shall be known as Rhodes, however, as we refuse to recognize any nation being called 'Atlantis'

"Give it a rest already." commented Secretary of State O'Reilly.

Its like a dog, put it in a place and call it by a name, then you move the dog call it by another name it is still the same dog.

OOC:Just one IC grudge?
