: : : Detta måste tas upp till omröstning i kabinettet.
: : : Hälsningar från Count Torby
: : What a magnificent idea!
: : It´s so good that it could almost have been my own.
: : I strongly support this idea, and I look forward, with great interest,

: : Actually I´ve found traces
: : in our historical recordings of a knight´s order which went under the name of:
: : "Eye of the blackbird" ("svarttrost" in norwegian, "Koltrast" in swedish, Strindberg called it "Solsvarten" (sunblack)).
: : It seems the blackbird were a newcomer in the nordic lands at that time,
: : and that Ladonian territory were the first soil which it landed on.
: : I have not had any luck in establishing the excact year when this occured,
: : but my department is busy right now with comparing our archives with the archives
: : of other nordic countries.
: : (I hope I´m excused if using the term "Other nordic countries" is offensive to anyone).
: : In modern time there has been another knight´s order established by
: : 7 boy scouts on the Ladonian shore, 11th of june in the year 1931.
: : They called themeselves "The protectors of the alphabet",
: : and took on secret identities like: A, B, C and so on.
: : They seem to have taken special interest in the letter "L".
: : There are records of them during WWII,
: : when they smuggled coffee over to the occupied nation of Norway.
: : After the war all tracks of them are lost.
: : This was a small note of support and information
: : from Trond Ivar Hansen,
: : Head secretary of the special state office of nomads,
: : under the excellent department of history.
: : Magister mundi sum
: Is there a date set for this votation? Anyway, I thank you for your support.

Dear Count Patrice,
You can start your idea on a knight,s order
immediately. The administration will bring the
matter up in the next cabinet meeting in 1 - 2 weeks.
But this is not to be decided only by the cabinet.
Our citizen can take their own decisions.
