Message | We are not sure what this means - would it be illegal to produce t-shirts or underwear with images of the national flag on them? |

Message | What's the point of having a national flag if you can't use it to flog cheaply-made, over-priced bits of tattle to gullible foreigners? Does the party which provides Aldegar with its Minister of Foreign Affairs understand anything about foreigners? Is it any wonder Aldegar is so backward when we have such anti-commercialist attitudes? His Grace would advise the public that if they want premium quality goods and services, they shouldn't look for images of the national flag, but should look instead for his Grand Ducal Coat of Arms which appears on all of the products he is associated with.

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
