Vijaya Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Greetings to Planet Bob! Nueva Vida presents: From the realms of darkest Germany comes… the Republic of Aquisgrana. Our goals are simple: Build some bigass nations that will undoubtedly stomp yours. Establish a military where knights ride on tanks, backed up by nuclear trebuchets, and dragons that drop 100 kiloton bombs. Create a community of chivalrous knights and merry men that work hard, but play even harder. Our club scene is bumping. Our forums are at: Aquisgrana Check out our charter, I’m sure you’ll love it: CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF AQUISGRANAPromulgated this 25th day of June 2009.
