I loved you.

I would request a small portion on the northern shore of the Mediterranean:) Lots of short people like me, who love good food, and snoozing in the afternoon sun:)

Ok - Go forth my eevil, slutty minion whore Captains and pick your own countries to rule over - just make sure that i get my dues! Viggo and STEVE are to be held in the Royal shagging chamber.
Scotland and Italy (Sicily included) are OUR Royal domains.  _________________ I am no longer posting on the Forums. If you need me, I am lurking in the archives, reading and reviewing. You can also catch me at Demented Indigo! |

All I ask for is the SE US.
I'll build a wall around Atlanta, one across Florida , just north of Gainsville.
But LA, MS, AR, TN, GA, NC, SC, AL, and N Florida are mine! The rest are all misplaced Yankees!
(Yavanie, you will note that Texas is not on my list, it is a separate country, they just decided to not fight about it)
Visiting rights to New Orleans will go through me.
That's right, we're going to secede, again!
Oh yeah... royalty:
I think the last of the true monarchies (of large countries) are in the Middle East. I know Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are. Jordan, Quatar, Oman Maybe too.
Do the Swedish Royals actually own anything, like the British do? There is a rumor over here that she (the Queen) is actually self sufficient. Are the other Royal families like that?

Yesterday Prince Charles published an annual audit saying what he earned and spent. about £12m from the increase in property prices [he owns quite a few houses.. large ones at that] and £4m from the tax-payer. I'm not too sure how much the Queen earns though... but she definitely gets some taxpayer money. That's mainly the reason why loads of Brits don't like the Monarchy, as they are seen as a family who are just using up millions of pounds which could be used on services & stuff...
*shrugs* but most people don't seem to mind prying into Princes Will and Harrys' private lives because they're 'royalty'...  |

Hmm...How much are you willing to trade for Billy? You're gonna have to give me a very big sum for Dom.  _________________ ||Lex||Yoda||Sooker||

lifetime supply of the best wine produced in Provence if you give me Billy altogether:)
And you can spend all the time you want in my palatial mansion on the French Riviera if you bring Dom to share when you do:) Remember, Cannes is in *my* domain.... _________________ Suffering an again off again connection with life...

Since we are divving up the world, can I have Mexico? It would save my daughter a lot of time having to actually learn to speak English better. And with the mass exodus crossing the border every day, it will soon be emptier than either Pole. Then I can turn it into a HUGE vacation playland. And the new language would be Spanglish, the language of choice in the northern states. It seems to be taking over. Why did I waste all those years as an Engish major? I should have done better in Spanish class.  _________________ The only opinions that count, are those of the ones in control.

You guys get off the subject quicker than any other people I know. To attempt to answer some of the earlier comments (since I wasn't there at the time)...
<<In England, the Monarchy are seperate from the governement and cant interfere>>
Not entirely correct, the Queen still has a final veto on any law passed by Parliament (not that it has been used in a very long time).
I find the whole concept of monarchy to be very bizarre, while I have no interest in the British monarchy (royal watchers are little better than people who are addicted to soap operas and sitcoms), I work for a company that is run by Danish people, and they show a real interest and respect for their monarchy (even while acknowledging that said monarchy have no political or economic power), we even got an extra day's holiday for their Crown Prince's engagement to some Australian woman...
If you think it is difficult finding proper forms of address for members of the royal family, you should try working as a civil servant (my other half works in the land registry department of the Scottish Executive, and regularly has to respond to stupid questions from landed nobility - and god help everyone if the proper forms and titles are not used (there are so many different responses, all dependant on exact social standings that even people who've been doing the job for 10 years have to look it up in a book)).
<<Russia will provide the Royal court with Vodka >>
Best Vodka comes from Poland - one of my friends' comment, on being introduced to Polish cherry vodka was "Wow! My eyeballs are melting" before knocking back the rest of the glass. It's great stuff.
However, if land is being parcelled out to a world spanning monarch, the English county of Yorkshire will be remaining independent, as will all natives currently living elsewhere (this includes Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart) |
