: : Ave all ladonians!
: : The new millenium is not far away. But how is this going to
: : be celebrated?
: : At least king Taufaahau Tupou IV of Tonga has some very proud
: : plans, as is fit for a king. He sends his greetings and says
: : that his kingdom will launch "the greatest party of the world".
: : But if Tonga, that is situated right on the date line, is not given
: : the right to start partying first of all, king Tupou threatens
: : to introduce summertime, thus getting one hours advance.
: : Now king Tupou gets some opposition from the islands Kiribati and
: : Fiji, who both claims that they own the right to call themselves
: : "first in the world".
: : This is confirmed by Greenwich that announces that it is on Kiribati
: : the sun will pour the first rays the first of january on the year 2000.
: : On the other hand Greenwich claims that it is in Greenwich the
: : new millenium seriously starts.
: : The question is, what are we in Ladonia to say about this? Are not we
: : the first country in the world? And thus the country where the
: : celebration truly starts? And preferably with "partnership of pilsner"...
: : Quot homines, tot sententiae (So many people, so many opinions)
: : Count Torby Lord of Roses, minister of history
: Absolutely. Letīs start now!
Our highly appreciated Count Torby has again been
awake in an important matter. Here we need a plan
to be able to run into 2 000 as first nation. I
think that it shouldn't be impossible to find out
some mistakes made in the counting during all these years which,
quite probable, will give us a chance. We have already
started the research.
