Hundreds of Londoners came out greet the Japanese delegation and to mark the first international visit to Britain since the restoration of the monarchy. After a short tour of Buckingham Palace the Japanese were invited to a lavish state dinner thrown by King George VII before being taken to one of the state rooms at 10 Downing Street to meet with the Prime Minister.

Eva, MGL, iKrolm, Kevz, Horo, Markus, Yawoo and probably more. Anyone who wants to take down TSI certainly has their work cut out for them, but it's not impossible. But no, everyone here wants instant gratification. Oh well.

I've never seen anyone actually try to overthrow TSI. What I have seen is a bunch of rag-tag kiddos complain that they got their feelings hurt.

Russia will give up nothing. If you want it come take it.

[u][b]100,000 Russian Troops Reportedly Amassed Near USSE Border[/b][/u] Russia has amassed 100,000 troops near the border with the USSE, a Russian Defense Ministry said on condition of anonymity. Images posted online by locals in Omsk showed columns of Russian armored vehicles moving toward the border. The Kremlin refuted allegations from government watchdog groups that Russia was preparing for an invasion of it’s neighbor. Kremlin officials claimed the military was testing its readiness to respond to a crisis in southern Russia.

Blah blah map reset, blah blah gay sex. That's all you talk about PD.

That exception was meant for crown dependencies and overseas territories, not Great Britain proper. Nevertheless I still dispute it and have informed Iceland about it IC.

I accept this second term with gracious humility. Thank you my slav... er I mean supporters.

The Russian Empire is sympathetic to Faraway's concerns, but the reality is that this entire body has done very little to solve any crisis lately. This is a shortcoming of the permanent Security Council members, not the elected regional representatives. It would be unfair to blame the American Commonwealth for this organization's lack of direction.

I claimed Great Britain which includes Orkney and Shetland. I did not know you were already conquering the islands. I will be more vigilant from now on. However, if the rules permit, I contest this claim.

His Majesty's government sends its warmest regards to the United Caribbean States and welcomes it to the concert of nations. May you be strong and prosperous in your future.

I'd like to suggest that the OP in the map thread be changed to reflect the actual rules about map claims. It currently says, It would make more sense to say, "Original map claim may not be outside your ingame Sphere of Influence"

Nevermind.

London, Great Britain - The sun shone brightly on London that day, particularly the Palace of Westminster, where the British aristocracy had gathered. The Union Jack fluttered in the cool mid-summer breeze while the bellowing sound of the clock towers bells rang out across the city. The House of Lords, overflowing with wealthy and influential politicians, businessmen and peers, was momentarily the center of the universe. A tall, dark haired, young man of only 35 entered the chamber from behind a large throne that sat on one end of the house. He was clad in the dress uniform of a British naval officer, complete with various medals, most earned through nearly two decades of service. He was accompanied by a young woman dressed in a pearl white gown. A magnificent tiara protruded from her well kept, blond hair, with matching earrings and necklace wrapped around her neck. The room deafened when he sat upon the impeccable throne and began to speak. My Lords and Members of the House of Commons. The world has emerged from a cataclysmic event which has forever altered civilisation as we once knew it. Not since the defeat of the scourges of totalitarianism and fascism has the world endured such a profound change, but the people of Britain prevailed, as we always have and always will. Today I reactivate the British Armed Forces and declare these isles independent of tyranny, fear and want. Let Britain rise and reclaim her rightful place among the concert of nations! Britains new King rose from his throne to the sound of booming applause.

I would like to place my flag in the United Kingdom, including all British Crown dependencies and British Overseas Territories, excepting those that are already claimed and/or protected. Name it the Kingdom of Great Britain. EDIT: The Crown Dependencies are Jersey, Guernsey (including Sark, Alderney, Brecqhou, Herm, Jethou and Lihou.) and Isle of Man, which I don’t believe are claimed. The Overseas Territories that I don’t think are claimed include: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha and Turks and Caicos Islands

In order to increase team moral the Russian government provided free seats near the field to attractive Russian women. Of course the team would remember what happened to coach of the Vostokslav National Football team at the last International Cup Games. Failure would not be tolerated.

A case of the finest turnip vodka from the Marscurian region was sent to India with regards from the Russian Foreign Ministry.

I don't stand by the decision made, mainly because only 2 of the 3 GM's were consulted. And before you try, don't give me that nonsense about how I'm not on IRC, there are other ways to communicate with me when I can't be there. But the point is moot now, congrats.

Doesn't make it right.

The normal wait time for an auto-advance is a week. Since Tywin posted on the 24th the auto shouldn't have been granted until tomorrow.

I'd like to point out that you appointed 3 GM's without a vote. So... yeaaaaaah. Triyun is evil, there's no doubt about that, but better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

I'd like to point out that you guys are fighting over fictional technology. Not even theoretical tech that might be real in a decade... but fictional technology. Bless your little hearts.
