We hope the distinguished leader of Wales will note that while Egypt's pollution did indeed spike upward momentarily, it is now again responding to efforts to lower it, and should continue on its downward course...

An Egyptian embassy has been established with Rome today, and Egypt hopes to be welcomed at the Vale of Glamorgan tomorrow... Egyptian forces have withdrawn from Busiris, now that a peace treaty has been signed.

Rest assured cleanups are continuing throughout the 'Big Six' Roman polluters with further measures coming on stream during the next few turns...

The Fatherland does hope that Rome cleans up it's 'Big Six', as they alone spew out four times more pollution into our Earth's fragile atmosphere than the total emissions for Wales as a whole.

However, we are still pursuing a course that we hope will bring us down to zero emissions.

Yes, it is true that Egypt has converted to the more earth-friendly government of Fascism. And other changes are ongoing, as Egypt tends to home and hearth, after so many years of the ugliness of war.

Modeling ourselves on a mythological kingdom called "Switzerland",
the tiny Alpine nation of Egypt will try to remain neutral in the disagreements of the world, and will strive to produce excellent chocolate and time-keeping devices! Our fresh-faced milk maids will endeavour to improve our dairy products, too.

It is toward this end that Egypt has taken the bold step of putting all armed forces at "peace", thus allowing our many soldiers to go on leave. May the rest of the world join us in such harmony...

Egypt is indeed to be congratulated in changing governments to a more environmentally aware form - we in Rome will be taking such a step in the very next cycle, as well as having another two recycling plants open and another nuclear plant!

Egypt's standing down of her armies is a truly bold step and one which Rome may consider following once she is out of the anarchy and chaos that goes hand in hand with a change of government...

Rome has also taken steps to reduce her production by 1/3 as her pollution levels had suddenly increased across the board by about 50% - one can only assume that this is the terrible legacy that the Roman peoples have to endure as the only surviving communist state on this planet!?

Of course with the cut back in production Roman workers can get on with other 'extra curricular' activities that have for so long been put on hold. It has been a long time since the streets and boulevards of Roman cities have played host to the carefree laughter of children...

I congratulate Rome on her completion on the Genome Project, and now hear news that the Globesat is now their next project.

However, considering that Rome out-pollutes every nation on this earth, with absolute impunity, and that again her noxious emissions have increased dramatically, the Fatherland suggests that building the Globesat should be postponed until this 'supposed' new emission-reducing scheme is underway and results can actually be verified.

We have only 53 cycles to save the planet, building the Globesat whilst spewing out so much vileness can only give you a clearer view of how much damage Communism has done to the world.

Rome heeds Wales' polite concern over the fate of our planet and this cycle has unveiled yet more completed Recycling Plants and, more importantly, has renounced the need to remain being a communist nation!

With the end of hostilities, Rome now feels that it is safe to change from a government of survival to a government of progress! In keeping with this theme, Rome has embarked on a modernisation programme which will see the last of the obsolete units of this land disbanded within the next 5-6 cycles...

Rest assured that Rome will not slacken from her fight against pollution, but will redouble her efforts by turning to science in order to find yet more advances to combat this vile blight on our World.

The people of Rome are also greatly heartened to notice that the Australia army has now stood down from her at war status and followed Egypt's bold lead! If Wales follows suit, Rome will too! Otherwise Rome will wait for the stability of a new government to assert itself before making a similar decision...

While exploring long-forgotton buildings, a room was discovered with implements allowing Egypt to trade goods between her cities. These must have been created in the dim past by some ancient ruler.

But imagine our surprise to find that even though the "trade window" showed a gain in gold from the implementation of these trade routes, the overall gold for Egypt suddenly went down!! Could there be an ancient curse on these routes?? (it seems the ancient Egyptians were fond of their curses! ).

It has been decided to allow these trade routes to function for one more cycle, so as to allow our economists to study them. Perhaps the negative cash-flow they engender will somehow be corrected...

That is the first thing I did in monkey, was sell 4 cathedrals, 2 Hospitals,lots of temples, tons of academies in citys with no scientists appointed, and countless theatres (which have no use unless you use an entertainer). All that costed me about 280 gold a turn which went to science they just werent worth having when you can keep your people relatively happy using the sliders and science with trade (even tho i have little of anything in that game)

Happiness improvments= waste of time and resources

I still find myself roaming the vast metropolis, with little progress of soon returning to the fold. However, I have not given up hope, and I still strive to plant my feet back upon the glorius soil of Wales, and then return her and her people to their former glory.

That is, however, if I have an empire to return to. Reports have filtered to me through my secret network, of a vast scheme of privatisation and selling off of public utilities. These rumours have yet to be confirmed, but they still fill me with great concern.

Expect to hear more from Demosthenes in the near future, with a glorius homecoming following shortly afterwards.
