: Greetings to all Ladonians!
:
: It is with great worry we now observe the present development in Ladonia. In a short time many problems have developed:
: 1. We have a queen who in an act of eternal disgrace and nepotism appoints her husband to an important office and who continues to mock the serious need of the People of humour and relaxation by appointing a dead man as court jester! :-( As if that wasn1t enough this queen has lowered herself to the level of a petty bourgeoisie by using Our beloved country1s homepage to sell ......... pork (sic!)!
: 2. The president appoints a couple of nitwits to equally important officies.
: 3. Two important political parties have ceased to exist although they have been allowed to continue to stand in the elections. The result is that 26,7% % (14,2% M(k)P och 12,5% Bridge Abundment) of the Ladonians have no representation*. This is a horrendous crime against the will of the Ladonian people!
: 4. There hasn1t been appointed any responsible government. Our beloved Ladonia drifts steerless in an ocean of bickering and nepotism.
:
: *We are happy to declare that the extraordinarie congress of the Bridge Abundment has elected a new Chairman and changed its name to The New Bridge Abundment. The new party-program will be official within weeks.
: DON1T DESPAIR Ð LIBERATION IS NEAR AT HAND!
: We the Optimats and the New Bridge Abundment Ð supported by hundreds of worried citizens look upon this situation with great anguish!
: Hereby, we patriots and democrats of all parties Ð declare the establishment of The Highest Court of Ladonia (HCL)! Chairman will be: The Honourable Benny Wallin. The Highest Court of Ladonia will call rigorously to account all offenders of Ladonian LAW and HONOUR! None will be spared! Chivalrousness will rule again!
:
: As of now Lord Nikos Leocardic, Baron of Trans-Arx has taken command of the ARMED FORCES as Supreme Commander (SC)! All opponents has been put in house-arrest. All strategic points are under surveillance by forces loyal to the SC.
: Former members of M(k)P rally under the glorious banner of the Optimats! Follow the hundreds that now turn their backs to the corrupt leaders of our 2Dirty House2 and 2Buck in Gardenham Palace!2
:
: Rutger del Pilar and all other righteous patriots:
: No-one want to put their trust to force, be it the superior intelligence of responsible citizens or the might of the armed forces! But even our patience can be overstrained!
:
: Now, queen and president Ð lets talk before it is to late!
:
: The Eternally Loyal Servant of the Realm and the People
: Lord Nikos Leocardic, Baron of Trans-Arx
: Supreme Commander of all Armed Forces, Partyleader of the Optimats, Extraordinarie Emissarie to the NBF and Colonel of The Ladonian People1s Most Loyal Trans-Arxian Grenadiers.
: and
: The Eternal Lord High Steward of the People
: The Honorable Benny Wallin
: High Marshall and Chairman of The Highest Court of Ladonia, Partyleader of New Bridge Abundment and Colonel of The Ladonian People1s Most Loyal Gendarms
This is outrageous! This is ac coup d' etat! Statskupp alltså!
I dislike our queens porky business and her nepotism, but she is after all our elected queen. And thus one of our rulers. So is president Fernando. And to the queen I, Count Torby, have sworn allegiance. So, if the rebels in our realm continues their acts I have to take countermeasures. Being a member of a very old family I have in my possession Jasons pouch of dragonteeth. As anyone with some classical knowledge knows, the said teeth thrown upon the ground produces an army of stalwarts, all sworn to the cause of the holder of the teeth. Thats me.
So I will come ridning on the wings of the morning to aid our elected rulers. I promise and swear on all the ladonian gods to conjure up my army and also some very fierce spirits from the realm of fire. Beware of their wrath! Repent in ashes you rebels, or take the consequenses!
Oderint dum metuant
