Emissaries of Thugwompus carry this message to all:

It is time for me to admit defeat. Though I tried every avenue available, the UN beat me every time. Their victory was due to a potent mix of power and stellar diplomacy, and I salute them! They have earned their grand victory.I will keep fighting to help

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

As the new leader of world revolution, let me point out to you that... 'Unable to overcome their internal contradictions by themselves, the capitalist world seeks to found an international association, the UN, whose main task is to keep the incessantly growing revolutionary crisis down and to by blockades or war suffocate the union of the proletarian republics.' (Program of the Communist International, adapted by the sixth Congress, 1929).

Prophets: it would seem you are a secret UN-a-phile. ageas: I like a higher level of troops (similar to Prophets' original proposal). Minimal/IceBerg/JKD: what is your response to proposed treaty?
