We're asking Irish governement if we could send a diplomat to establish an embassy.

Foreign Ministry Statement.

The Free State eagerly awaits the arrival of a Mayan envoy to formalise relations between our two nations. With the establishment of full diplomatic relations it is to be hoped that future 'misunderstandings' between us can be avoided.

It is to be hoped that with the normalisstion of Irish/Mayan relations that the need to call upon our English, Slavic and French friends to patrol our common channel will disappear. The tales of the ferocity of President Slamp are legion and fear of his aggression caused grave concern in a small, weak and backward nation such as ourselves. We are certain that much that has been told of his actions have been naught but propoganda and half-truths put out by those who would darken the name of the Mayan State.

In Hope of Friendship.
Taosoich Jon, IFS

A bright day for Ireland!

Irish researchers were today congratulated upon yet another monumental technological breakthrough.

In an address to a Party rally in Allenwood The Taosoich declared..

'First to the Sea in our unsinkable Dreadnaughts The Free State remains at the forefront of modern science! The day of the Steam Engine will soon fade to be but a distant memory and work upon our new research and development centre has been accelerated to ensure that, whilst small and poor, we shall maintain our place as the World's centre of scientific excellence'.

The Free State thanks our Mayan neighbours for their visit but would request that they remove themselves from our territory immediatly.

We are somewhat surprised that Noble Slamp felt it neccessary to accompany his Diplomatic visit with a ship of war.

The Canadian goverment is pleased to announce that we now have the means to terraform large regions of swamp into workable areas of agriculture. We hope this will lead to founding of some new cities within our empire.

We mean no disrespect to Luk of the slav nation. We are always willing to begin an dialogue about the relationship of our two great nations.
