    Hm, that may be difficult, but fortunately Panjab has a great tradition of nepotism, so the saffron turban (and PM sash) can be passed on to a direct descendant that looks surprisingly like the original vizier.

    Don't If you pose for photographs before you leave it'll be doomed to fail. Do them when they get back having found it otherwise they'll likely never find it.
    Look At My AARs In my Ink well Here

    The Solution to all the worlds problems is utterly simple. We should set up all government so they run like an Episode of Yes Minster. At least that way the politicians will be so busy fighting the government that they will not have time to invade other countries. Equally it will mean that countries will be well run the half of the time which is about an improvement equal to half the time in the amount of time a country is well run. What could ever go wrong.

    well if it all goes wrong you can write a poem bemoaning how for 'the want of a nail, the nile was lost' (or to be technically correct never found ... on the grounds that the Nile as such is not so much lost as unfound(ed))

    Alas! Dalip is not genre savvy enough! He’ll just have to hope the random number generator favours his plan.

    Dalip’s academic background shines through his cunning use of alliteration. If the expedition fails, Panjabi poetry might be all the better for it.

    Thank you! I’ve put it in the OP, along with the others.

    There's a monetary cost, but with Panjab's booming economy it's really insubstantial. There's always the chance that another GP will get there first, but for some strange reason it's been my experience that the human player gets the prize (in this and also the races to the poles) a disproportionate amount of times.

    The Last Mission A Love Story

    There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared, it is itself the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross.

    Dalip is certainly learning all the tricks of managing a democracy ... now with nile nailed in place is it time for those *utterly unexpected* revolts elsewhere in India?

    Last week? Dalip has nothing to worry about, when it comes to politics most people can't remember stuff that happened so long ago.

    Oh, and the alliterated names are hilarious!

    Great news that the expedition has proven successful. There can be little doubt that the Nile Nailers would have failed but for the great support given to them by Dalip!
