/me bows

I don't have any grandiose plans for my time as MiniEx (I have taken it upon myself to do plenty of other work)... however, what I do plan to do is to check our list of foreign relations, remove any dead nations from the list, and pursue relations (treaty-in-a-can level) with those nations with whom we have double citizens... which would seem to be Novatainia (Andreas is from there, and it's a very nifty place, though there's some business with this Confederation of Gralus going on that I don't quite understand), Batavië (Jonas is from there, and we kinda sorta died in the middle of the deliberations... although another thread says we didn't... so I guess I'll just have to figure that one out)

And then there's of course all the nations that benkern is in... which I'll have to ask him about since I don't actually know where he's a citizen . Babkha is one, I know that much, but otherwise most of the nations mentioned in the MicroWiki article on him seem to be either dead or benkernless...

[Andreas the Wise]

I can help with that a little ...
Novatainia combined with Tokidoki to form the Confederation of Gralus (ignore the stuff about Wachensburg and Babkha, that got out of hand, me and Hesam sorted it all out happily as soon as we talked to eachother and ignored all the other people butting in) so that's where you go for foreign affairs.

As for Benkern, he can tell you better than me, but I know New Brittania is one of his key nations too, and Matbaa (but that's almost dieing)

Have fun Ari.

[Ari Rahikkala]

Ahh, I see. The treaty with Batavië was passed but had been accidentally put into the Landsraad Archives instead of Landraad Passed Bills... so that's why I culdn't find it. I fixed the oversight.

Andreas correctly pointed out that one of my "key nations" is New Brittania - we may have a Treaty with them under the name "Numenor", which we made a big mistake of changing our name to earlier this year. Another is Babkha, but with regards to Treaties at least you won't have to worry about them. :P Andreas was also right about Matbaa; I believe Shireroth started dealings with Matbaa before, and maybe even achieved a Treaty, but Matbaa is no longer what it was, and the nation is basically being negotiated to be torn apart as we speak. I suggest Shireroth doesn't get involved, if at all, until the smoke clears. I also am technically a citizen of the Holzer Reich, though that is dead. Abiwyn, a nation in fact where I happen to be Head of State, is quite inactive, and its not really involved much in foreign affairs at all.

Jeez... Naming all of them makes me realise I need to leave some of these nations... and then I can apply for full citizenship, which would be nice... I'll get back to you on that.

[Kaiser Mors V]

I'll have the rubber stamp ready...

My fault, I think. I'm sorry!
This great Empire has indeed a treaty with Batavië

[Kaiser Mors V]

Woot?
