: : : 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.
Hello everybody. Did I hear somthing about celebrating ?
In the matter of time I do not think that it important to be the
first or second and so forth... Itīs more just to bee there in time,
so to speak. And I can not understand why we are to wait untill
year 2000 to celebrate its arrival - lets party from now on !
