True, though frankly speaking this is 100% more childish than even I expected.

Honestly, my biggest question is why Lat waited this long to do it? If he did it almost as soon as he left, we could easily attribute it to impulsive revenge and anger. If Lat is holding that grudge so long that he decided to delete all the forum stuff now, then yeah, that reflects pretty poorly on Lat.

He had two options, act and make us see him as a dičk, or wait to act and have us see him as a double diçk; He chose the latter -_-

Heh, first day on the job and I already made my first clerical error. Well, at least I caught and fixed it as soon as I saw it.

Anyway, I'm going to be writing an Internal Affairs bill that will establish some things about the bureaucracy of the Ministry. As well, I will be writing a bill that helps lay out things regarding citizenship, such as the Application, WA status, and expatriation. If anyone is interested in helping me write these bills, send me a wee telly or PM me on Discord. Thanks!

Just making sure this is still in play. Russia (#23) has been handed over to me. Since the government has changed, I'm just confirming a previous deal.

If anyone feels like I'm:

1) Crying about being in Africa

2) Being Impatient

3) Being an a-hole

4) Becoming hostile

Then....

1) It's Africa..eh. Least I have a plot o' land.

2) Impatient? Nah. Just Nah.

3) No. I just know how busy some of us are in real life and in our in game personas. I'm just making sure that a deal that was made is carried out fairly. Better to remind as needed than rage.

4) Hostile? I'm Russian. Nuf said. / But seriously...I'm fine. Just looking forward to the trade off and the plan I put together trade/military/rp/help wise. I'll be much better in Russia than...wherever I'm at in Africa.

Love you guys. (sits in corner shaking nervously)

I'm thinking of, seriously, putting the ESSR on the back burner.

I've decided to try and revive one of my older nations in a an attempt to have a more customizable country. I understand, and respect, Unf and his territorial rights. I'm not angry, nor do I hold hostility towards him. He does not wish to cede territory to a nation that he doesn't know. I will of course take the necessary steps needed as to not offended the region as a whole. Any comments, concerns, or questions are appreciated. I'll be here for now, for I have some digging to do.
