Diplomatic negotiations to begin the extradition of the Welsh scum from Gishoto are underway and we hope that some agreement can be reached. In the meantime, the whole of Dranland is indebted to you for your efforts to secure our borders, both in this bill and the rather excellent NACNDSMW. |

| Message | We at the LoP will do what is needed to ensure a safe and secure Dranland, perhaps in the arena of Diplomacy we should hold Three-Point talks between Dranland, Gishoto, and Deltaria in a bid to end this tension peacefully... and maybe get the Deltarians to aid us in ensuring a total victory in Project Vaporization. |
