From the NewsWire:

Dolanir Retires
Turn 23 - (P.E. Census)
Somewhere - Alas, Leader Dolanir has not started a new nation and is no longer with us.

From the Grapevine:

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Scorpion and Gordon.

A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:

Fluffy Duckie;

Agents disloyal to the Organization have caused some chaos... However, I am now firmly back in control! Our agreements were indeed made through me, and will be honored.

Kelly Johnson

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Frodo and Veovis.

Emissaries of Scorpion carry this message to all:

Thanks to apeloverage3 I announce the creation of No Fly Zone 2. Kelly Johnson PS I reject war with D'ni.

Alas, Dolanir will be missed. Election report: With a week to go, Gehn leads the polls in Ages near Skunk Works and Dolania, now in turmoil, whereas Aitrus leads in the Capital and Ages close to The Hobbits.
