Excellent! Do I recall correctly something from the movie 'The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain'?
 
I got the Darien reference, if it makes any difference. :p
Have you joined the Blackadder Appreciation Group yet? If not, you definitely should! :)

Yes, yes it does! A Blackadder Appreciation Group?? Of this I must know!

Someone mentioned close harmony singing?

LOL!!! I see it is a specialty of yours as well! Ready?
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi, Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri!!!... :p

Thomas Twp Two: "This is my brother, Thomas Twp, and I am Thomas Twp Two."
Thomas Twp: "We've no learning, and most people say we're twp. But we're not so twp as to not know that we're twp."

Our poor, simple Thomas Twp keeps forgetting about that naval attrition. Working on an update now. There have been some exciting new adventures!
 
Calabari and Warri
His Majesty King of Wales apparently will not be satisfied until the name Wales will be able to be seen on a map without having to go to full zoom. Of course, this made Warri worry about War with Wales. Unwilling to see their neighbours uncomfortable, Wales found a way to help their neighbors "relax"

'Not an Onion Article' :D
I'm hoping there will be a Doctor Who appearance, considering the multitude of references in here already...;)

Oh yes!! I also hear tell some curious looking characters who appear seemingly out of thin air in the middle of Cardiff's Raold Dahl Plass and a nearby Tourist Information Centre.
 
This is a very promising AAR! Keep up the good work and you will get an AARward in no time - people love special AAR's like this one. Me included.

Mein Beileid, übrigens, nicht in der schönsten Stadt Deutschlands (und damit der Welt) zu wohnen. So nah dran, und doch so weit davon entfernt...
 
Time to see Wales rise to all new, great heights, which will eclipse England's! Cymru am byth!

Subbed!

Thank you! My greatest reward will be bringing some laughs to new friends :) You're in Dresden! I look forward to seeing it soon. From what I hear, it would be a nice change in living location. Leipzig is like Birmingham or Pittsburgh... depressing and run down, but at least it's not Chemnitz! Wow! My nostrils burned from acrid polluted air while waiting for the connecting train.

Welcome aboard! I'm not sure I will eclipse The Empress of India, but I can surely try! Off to creating an update.

From what you heard? So you were not born here - or did you have an important reason for never coming to Dresden? If the first one is true: Welcome in Germany (or at least in Saxony)! If it's the second one: My condolence!

We have nice cities, too - not Leipzig, while it is far from being the worst, it's just a matter of rivalry between Leipzig and Dresden. And you are right: Chemnitz is like Dresden. In ugly. In very, very ugly. No wonder Karl Marx lost his head there!
 
Torchwood? Already? What madness is this?! :p

Those crazy Victorians, eh?

Why thank you! I'm relatively new here. I'm now Saxon via marriage, which is why I am here. My German is coming along all right, but Sächsisch with the Schwiegereltern is an entirely different issue. 12 years of Spanish as a foreign language is not helping with the Germanification process... at all. lol

Well, I'll tell you wharritiz. The truth, as I heard in the Pub... err, Parliament, is that Victoria knew of this very Welsh institution all along, dismissed as the quaint hobby of adorable little mountain folk. As long as it distracted them, Her Majesty remained amused. Many years later, when the alien threat came to her attention, she acted as if she came up with the idea herself... in an alternate timeline of course. Now, Wales is free to shine on its own. :cool:
 
I'd say that we start a petition to make the Canadian, British, Irish, German, and Czech governments meet in a more proper place in a local pub. Now I have a confession... I've never watched Dr. Who *grabs the popcorn*

Great series by the way (Subbed)

Indeed! I think our unique government buildings should give us a diplomacy bonus!
Dr Who knowledge not required. Torchwood (an spinoff by BBC Wales) may be helpful :D

Thanks very much! Some twists and turns coming up!
 
I've never watched Torchwood, definitely need to I'm guessing. :D
 
I will allow Bottom to explain the debt crisis.

Eddie: That, my friend, is Welsh money.
Richie: They don't have any Welsh money!
"Spudgun": No wonder they all vote Labour.
 
It's heartwarming to see a war won by proper use of alliteration.

Also, as a fellow Doctor Who/Torchwood fan, I like where this is going!

I sat there for quite some time trying to come up with the last word for what was originally accidental alliteration. Ah, serendipity. Indeed, one wants one's BBC... BBC Wales that is.

LOL! Well, at least in this game the last thing I like is having Liberal parties... no control over my industry, and boy, those capitalists make some pretty awful choices. How much you want to bet that my little Wales goes Socialist? Well then again... I could control the production again.... hmmz...

Indeed, you must. Indeed you must. The latter seasons got weird, but the first few were fantastic! Cardiff is showcased very nicely in it.
