Turn to Madrid.
The Holy Land continues upon it's constant path to purity and spiritual enrichment. Peace reign's over all and My Love brings boundless joy to those fortunate enough to be touched it's aura.
On sordid political matters, Dearest Xenophon I am not moved to regard the deployment of a Spy so close to Arbois as a friendly gesture.
Blessings My Children,
St Jon, Constancy amidst Infidelity.

Beloved Children,
I hesitate to criticise my dearest of all neighbours, he who I think of as nothing less than a brother, Tomas of Spain but I do feel that he has been misled by one of his underlings. Beloved friend, I beg of you, consult your maps yourself rather than trust some pro-Welsh scoundrel in your civil service. Large modern French Army! France has no such thing and still less the ability to despatch it overseas. What you see is but a small band of Citizen's Militia who have taken up arms to defend their fellows beseiged in Les Palais. None shall enter Spanish territory, or even Spanish territorial waters, but to ease your concerns the point of muster has been shifted north to St Tropez. Surely you would not have them turn their backs upon their brothers and sisters in their darkest hour?
Blessings Upon You All,
St Jon, Tranquility amidst Turmoil.

OUT OF TURN.
Beloved Children,
Let it be known that France has never sought War with any nation. Colonial expansion is alien to the Gallic 'Vivre la Vie' attitude and My Holy Teachings.
I ask that all World leaders consider the facts.
1. France has never raised her Readiness from 'Stand-Down'.
2. France has never fired, or even threatened to fire, a shot in anger.
3. Had the colonisation of Les Palais been the precursor to invasion pretended by Wales then surely more than a solitary SotL, with Settler embarked, would have been despatched.
4. If War were France's desire then why would she have waited until global peace had arrived before embarking on this course rather than attack amidst the confusion of a long and bloody conflict?
5. A sizeable Military is usually regarded as helpful, if not essential, when waging War but France does not possess an Army at all!
France is the victim of a callous attack upon her by a larger and more scientifically advanced nation. I thank Chairman Thor for his kind words of support in this time of trouble for my people and would hope that all others will join in his condemnation of an unprovoked attack upon an entirely peaceful nation.
It should be noted that not only was this barbaric act committed in contravention of an extant Peace Treaty but that it has also gone without any form of retaliation. French guns remain silent!
I plead with you King Constantine, my errant child, to come to the negotiating table, without gun in hand, so that we might settle our differences away from the glare of publicity.
Blessing be upon you all,
St Jon, Truth amidst Falsehood.

Turn to Madrid.
My Children,
The sun rises over yet another cycle of utter tranquility and bliss in 'The Holy Land' yet I am deeply worried for the long term prosperity of my disciples. The appalling increase in Global Pollution puts the live's of every man, woman and child in gravest danger. I plead with my illustrious neighbours to put their knowledge of Recycling into effect before it is too late! Though France could be forgiven for feeling especially bitter at this, unpossessed of any source of toxic emissions as she is, our thoughts are merely of seeking ways to save human life.
I would enquire of my dear friend, Chairman Thor, as to why he has decided to encroach upon French territorial waters? Just at a time when Franco-Incan relations were improving to such a welcome degree such an action can hardly be regarded as helpful.
I am also deeply concerned that the Welsh ship of state continues to appear rudderless. I appeal to King Constantine, and his Regent, to urgently tackle this problem for the potential long term damage to Welsh prosperity is great indeed.
Blessings upon you all,
St Jon, Self-Denial in a World of Self-Indulgence.

Turn 155 --> Comrade Thor
Having received reconnaissance photos of the location of the French-held island of Le Palais, the Greek government finds itself quite surprised at the actions of St Jon and France. For the island is clearly within the city limits of the Welsh city of Llangollen!
St Jon, to have settled this island, your settler had to sail past the French border, past the Spanish border, past the Welsh border, and then travel far into Welsh territory. Surely you must recognize that this cannot have been seen by Wales as anything less than a bold incursion into her territory?
Having now seen the degree to which France has entered Welsh sovereign land, we can only hope that Paris will withdraw all French citizens from the island, leaving it to its rightful owners, the Welsh!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spain is to be congratulated for all recent her work at lowering pollution. But fears that it may be "too little, too late" are evident, as politicians living in coastal Greece are suddenly taking extended trips to the mountains!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Farmers in Rafina were startled to notice workers of an unknown origin toiling in the Greek city. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that they were Inca citizens! Great Comrade Thor, have you perhaps left the decision of where to settle your new cities to one less wise than yourself? Perhaps there is some way to move this city?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, a great multinational naval traffic jam seems to have clogged the waterways near Strausbourg. Perhaps more modern navigational aids are required in the area? Or perhaps it is merely some sort of festive flotilla, of which we are unaware? Greece would be willing to send naval vessels to the area to help end the confusion, if requested.

Turn to Madrid.
Beloved Children,
I fear that the dire predictions of my ever-steadfast Greek friend, Xenophon, have come to pass. There might just be time to avoid a yet worse cataclysm if the the World's premier polluter's were to divert some of their Production from weopons of mass destruction to the construction of Recycling Centres!
Xenophon, though you may be more precious to me than my own heart, French foreign policy decisions are not part of the remit of the Governor of the Greek speaking World. Please confine yourself to discourse upon subjects of which you have some knowledge.
Chairman Thor, your Destroyer is a serious impediment to further fruitful Franco-Inca relations. Please return it to port so that the happy congegation might return to their nets rather than stand in line to join the Holy 'Maritime' Militia!
My Dearest Tomas, I trust that you do not take the increased French border patrols as in any way a sign of distrust in my surety of your good faith, I know you to be as honest as though you were the fruit of my own loins, but French territorial integrity must, at any cost, be preserved. French Troop movements outside of your own ambit should likewise be ignored as they represent no threat to Spain.
King Constantine, I beg of you to think long and hard upon your next move. France will not sit back and allow her citizens to be murdered. At a time when medical science is advancing rapidly and the average life expectancy is rising Wales may well find that this trend is not reflected in her own census.
I take this opportunity to remind you all that France remains 'At Peace' and has still declined to recruit an Army. Furthermore, France still is unpossessed of a single Polluting Improvement and has her worst City ranked outside the 'Bottom 20'! I remain the leader of an entirely passive and agrarian people with no imperialist tendancies.
Love unto All,
St Jon, Faith in a World without Belief.

"St Jon, the fact is that you have brutaly violated my territorial integrity and all your attempts to convince the rest nations for the opposite have failed.
Wales is not an aggressive nation as you like to present it but a fair one. We haven't pirated you caravan though we could and that is a proof that we fight for our rights and not for opportunism or profit as you do.
Besides it is you who have being poisoning with lies your citizens to convince them to settle the island.
Disband Le Palais and I shall overlook your earlier aggression!
Chairman Thor, I will ask you to withdraw your division one tile back to create a buffer zone between our troops. Your recent gathering of two modern full armed divisions incuding battalions of marines on our borders despite the opposite announcement that you would withdraw them from there put our friendly relations in great risk and the officials in Cardiff are greatly troubled by your recent stance regarding the French-Welsh quarrel.
If your military gathering continues with additional divisions you will give me no chance but to reinforce my troops in our borders with more modern weapons than the already existing muskets and cannons.
Citizens of Pontypridd are celebrating the construction of an amazing wonder, the Internet! King Constantine and many official were present in the opening. They were all amazed by its huge abilities! We made a successful connection between our larges urban centers and the King himself enjoyed chatting with the mayor of Cardiff and playing chess. Soon we shall establish connection with Athens where King Constantine will discuss with Xenophon cultural and economical subjects and play backgammon. We shall soon establish connections with all the other nations so everyone be able to enjoy the ability to freely and with low cost communicate from distance with each other.
We thank the Greeks for their magnanimity of dropping the parallel construction of the Internet and gave us the ability to joy its fruits. May god bless you and protect you from your enemies forever!"
King Constantine

Turn 156 --> Comrade Thor
The Inca city I speak of is Ancon1, Comrade Thor, which was built so as to overlap upon the Greek city of Rafina. Are you unaware of its existence? As I suggested, perhaps a less competent underling is decreeing where new cities should be founded in Inca. Regardless of how it came to be, I trust that with your new knowledge of its existence you will be able to formulate a solution for its encroachment...
As for the Greek "spy", he was but an overzealous member of a fringe environmental organization, bent on observing the extent of pollution damage in Inca. That he took it upon himself to travel in secrecy, and thus put friction to our friendship with you is regrettable, and he shall be dealt with, now that you have so magnanimously returned him to Athens! I hope you will be understanding, and forgive us for having been unable to prevent this transgression!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
St Jon, it is not true that Greece has no knowledge of the situation at Le Palais. Satellite photos have made the situation all too clear.
Neither is it true that it is is none of our business. Greece does not wish to see a war so close to our own shores. Therefore, we strongly suggest that no nation engage in any sort of attack upon Wales. There would be serious consequences, should such an attack occur. Please notice that we do not single out any one nation in this statement...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the merry naval celebration continues near Strasbourg, Greece has sent a rickety old SOL to the edge of Megara's harbour, so as not to feel left out...!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our congratulations to the Welsh on their completion of what will surely be dubbed the "Worldwide Welsh Web". Greek citizens are already waiting with bated breath to see the much-talked about Cow-cam, and other useful internet tools...
(at this point, Xenophon begins muttering something about deja-vous, and something called Swissy2, and wonders off to get a drink...)
