ALB: The EGP was turned down however there are a few more. A) Russian win, B) E/F/I/R four-way draw & C) E/F/I/R/T five-way draw. Remember to vote WITH your orders, etc, or else they count as 'yes'.

StP Gov't: St.P Govt) : Following the death of the illustrious Tsar, the Russian people are in mourning. A commemorative fly-past nearly ended in tragedy when one of the planes combusted on coming into contact with an overwhelming release of methane somewhere over France. A public health warning has been issued to the effect that the French are dangerous and should be avoided.

Following enactment of the Tsar's last wishes for his forces this Spring, leadership of the Russian people now defaults to the Tsar's long lost school-chum, Sultan Banyeres of Turkey. It is hoped he will lead the Russian people wisely and to victory. A law has been passed in anticipation of his arrival permitting the public wearing of bikinis by large men.

I proxy to Turkey. So long, hopeful leaders, and may chaos ensue.

Turkish Gov't: Turkish soldiers assaulted Russian positions and screamed, "Ni, Ni, Ni...Ni." Killer rabbits were also used in the attack. Evil Tsar Rob, if you persist with your diabolical plans, the Turks will be forced to continue taunting you. Put away your fat book of photographs of scantily-clad men. And vote "yes" on the sensible two-way draw proposal in favor of Reilly and Markus.

Autumn 1904 deadline: 19:00 BST, 14th October 2003.
