Quote of the day

If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently.

Vista Major, Axeldonia, Duke The Old Engine, The West Country

On behalf of Skarloey and Rheneas, I'm voting for Wales in the poll. As has been mentioned before, Skarloey and Rheneas both have extensive Welsh cultural heritage, and they're quite proud to be Welsh.

Skarloey: Indeed, we also have twins who work on the Talyllyn Railway in Wales. My twin is Talyllyn, and Rheneas' twin is Dolgoch.

Rheneas: That's right. Since it may be hard to visit our railway, we would encourage you all to visit Wales, and to see our twins on the Talyllyn Railway. Wales is a wonderful country, and the Talyllyn is a wonderful little line.

Duncan: Bah! I've always bin mair of a fan of Scotland myself. Since Ah am frae Scotland an' aw.

Skarloey: Zip it, Duncan! This is our moment!

Ludania, Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica

Aleksander: None of us can vote in the poll I'm afraid, for you see... We love the Isles in their entirety.

Luna: This is true! Although Scotland and Wales have just a bit more love than England.

Aleksi: And why is that mother?

Luna: England snubbed your father harshly prior to the collapse of the Federation.

Aleksander: I'll never forgive them for that...

I couldn't agree more. Welsh, Cornish and Breton culture doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

Ah yes, the sinking of the Titanic. One of the great tragedies of British maritime history. It was a sad day for all of us on the Mid-Sodor, especially since a couple of Mid-Sodor workmen were among the people who sunk, along with a member of our Board of Directors. Our manager at the time was also scheduled to sail on the Titanic, as the board member I mentioned earlier thought the manager could do a publicity tour to promote tourism, but the manager thankfully decided against going at the last minute. Still, if there's a silver lining to all this, the Titanic's sinking taught everyone the importance of lifeboats and general safety at sea.

Rest in peace to all who died in that tragedy, and I give my thanks to those who rescued and aided the Titanic's victims.

I haven't heard much about the Bretons, but I've heard good things about Cornwall and the Cornish people. It sounds like a lovely area, and if I weren't so busy with work on Sodor, I would love to visit Cornwall.

Dear past and loyal citizens of Montaris,

I come humbly before you with a contrite heart. I do confess my wrongdoings as your past Sovereign, and I do confess my mistakes. What has led me here is simply the nature of the society, or community, that makes you all up. Fond memories, I have of our workings and doings in the past; and I detest the actions that have lead to possible hatred or harsh feelings toward me. To be quite to the point, as I know you all would want me to be (considering the past), I have come here because I have amended my ways; and wish to, in a sort of restitution, serve you all. As you all have known in the past, I am a Christian; and so the only service I would like to offer, I can, pastoral service. Of course, and justifiably, I would not seek any government position nor political influence; but simply, I wish to serve as a pastor in your new home. If my contrition and proposal is rejected, I understand-truly. I, however, just wanted to come back home to the community I loved, and use my skills in some way to mend what was broken or offer service where I can.

Yours

First off, we are not Montarians; we are CoFNers and proud of it. I think I speak for most of us when I say Montaris was more of an aberration than a proud part of our history. We are not proud to have been your subjects, and we are happy to have left Montaris behind.

Second, we've been down this road before. You came back once before and tried to say you changed, and yet, you still became a tyrant again. We gave you a second chance, and you failed it. We're much less willing to give you a third chance. We don't have any legal basis to kick you out or force you to leave, so if you do decide to stay, you need to be on your best behavior.

Also, not sure if anyone checked the RMB of Ru's old region (Driselbia), but they exiled him for treason earlier today. Here was their proof/justification. Make of it what you will.

Long Live the Confederacy! I may be new enough to not know the past of this region and what may have transpired under His rule, but it sounds like the time for forgiveness is over. To claim ones self as a Christian and to fly the Holy Cross of England, to only become a tyrant and oppressor... His Majesty King Scott Bourbon V be dammed to oblivion! Behave yourself and maybe God and us may have mercy on your soul, but expect no hospitality from the Equestrian Union.

Could we just ignore him tbh?

It's clear he's not really apologetic (This is the third time) so just don't give him the time of day.

Same as he who I have last messaged. (14. I’m around there I think.)

Aw yis Queen Liz is doing a nature program with Sir David Attenborough tonight! They’re so lovely together and it’s nice to see both of them relaxed and cracking jokes

I had a look over there at Driselbia and they're a lot like us. Literally kind of a carbon copy. I'd say that establishing relations may be mutually beneficial.

I concur, they seem like a good sort.

It's like we got our own Nazi Germany past.

Did my American history exam today. Questions were BS but I managed to write about some of the stuff I revised over. Tomorrow is politics. 10 multiple choice questions and then 2 essay-style questions.

Just a quick mending also just for the halibut.

In full honesty though, I'm more than willing to forgive and welcome you back, but pardon if everyone is a little on the suspicious side.

Great idea! We both have a bad history with Ruclax, so that's something we can bond over.

I wouldn't go THAT far; Ru never killed people (as far as we know). He'd be more akin to our King George III.

Still a dark past. We need some Vergangenheitsbewältigung.

We kinda already have, thankfully. We've almost universally agreed "Yeah, Montaris was a bad idea, let's not do that again." Which I imagine is how most Germans feel about Nazi Germany, so I guess that's one similarity.

I thought we as a region agreed to never talk about Montaris again

George III from an American point of view, I don't want his reputation sullied by Ru.
