And lo did'th a Demosthenes appear in sight?
Glory be unto the Sainted One for he had almost despaired of the most beloved member of his congregation.

The Australians are away, by foot, wind, and hoof...
I must warn the inquisitive Welsh, that they tred on dangerous ground, if they are anything but tourists on our holy of holy river Torens.

Rick, I have posted you the latest version I have and that seemed to solve Stavros' problems last night.
Let me know and if you have any further problems send the Turn to me. If I can't open it then it's a corrupt savefile rather than any incompatability problem.

Turn 1-> Saint Jon
Greetings Great Leaders of the world (if you even exist),
I am the Mouthpiece of the 'Enigmatic One' - Great Hextapul. He has deemed not to show his face at this time, but remains within the sacred hidden capital of our new nation. When the time is right he will be revealed to the world.
My name is not important, but I must be called something - so my title is Hextan.
A point of clarification,
The records indicate our great leader to be named to be Hextupal. This is in error. Hextupal in our language means 'crafty, underhanded and sneaky.' This is a false representation of our Illustrious Leader. His name is Hextapul, meaning 'faithful, noble and true.' Some of you have had dealings with him in a previous world and understand that the latter definition is correct.
Our land is shrouded in the mists of time. It is harsh and unforgiving, unlike the fertile lands of the French, who have the privelege of going first in this world. But that is our lot in life and we do not begrudge them the benefits that is due the creator of this world.
Harsh lands make hardy souls...
May you all prosper... May we prosper more!
Hextapul has spoken.

The tyranie of Australia has yet to be enlightened to our brothers' Theocratic ways, but it's policies are the same. Late players should be put to the pire....
And while we're on such a friendly note, a hardy G'day to the Aztek settler we saw well underway to our borders. Our people look forward to being neighbours...

No offense taken, Great Xenophon, since the records were incorrect in the first place, and you had no way of knowing otherwise...
As to the reports of Aztec nomads running though the lands, it is merely a legend from the dim past. There are no Aztecs in this world, though we have been mistaken to be of that noble race. Indeed, Hextapul has been an Aztec in the past in other worlds.
I send greetings to the noble Australians, and hope that their sailors will be able to swim next turn.
Spanish settlers have also been spotted on our journeys, so it seems that the world is occupied after all. My apologies to doubt the existance of others, but as the wise ones say, 'seeing is believing.'
Hextapul has spoken!!

Great Tomas de Torquemada,
You ask of the meaning of my name, so let me explain:
My name derives from two Greek words...Xeno for foreign, and Phon for speaking. My name means that I speak foreign languages. Xenophobia, of course, means a fear of foreigners. Quite a different thing, n'est ce pas? 
Now the story of how this ability came to be so important for me:
As a young cavalry officer I led my troops against the Persians who were attacking my homeland of Greece. So successful were my attacks, that we pushed those Persians into retreat, and chased them all the way back to Persia itself.
But I am embarrassed to confess that in all the excitement of pusuing the Persians, we neglected to keep track of our direction of travel, and upon victory found ourselves quite lost.
Luckily, I was able to speak many languages, which enabled me to speak with the local people we encountered, and eventually I was able to bring my troops home. Upon reaching the Mediterranean, we beat our swords on our shields and cried "thalassa, thaslassa, thalassa!" which means "the sea". And then we sank to our knees to kiss the sparkling water.
Then I went on to become a statesman and historian, before deciding to lead Greece here in this world.
All of this is quite true, and is written about in histories of my Greece.
Xenophon
Peace through better understanding!

Turn 2 ==> Breaker
T'wud seem that Wales is not alone on this world of ours afterall. Already two great nations have we found, and eager are we to establish peaceful, harmonius, and mutually beneficial relationships with our neighbours.
We offer our maps, but as a sign of respect we accept reciprocation.
But be warned, treachery will not be tolerated. And the greatest treachery here in Wales is to steal another man's alcohol. This is why we have already built a mine to harness the fruits of the vine, and we beseach our Australasian neighbours not to attempt to sup from the same cup.
Demosthenes the Drunkard.

Our hardy Australian sailors survived after a dreadfull (if expected) storm sank their ship near the coast of the Aztecs, but thank you for your concern hexagonian. I'm sure we can prove our swimming abilities once the Greek get around to inventing the Olympics....
To my esteemed neighbours the Welsh. Although your request for an exchange of teratorial layout was seen as a binding force between our peoples, the Anarchy of Australia thought it prudent to decline your request, at least until the exploratory phase was over. I sincerely hope that this will not result in any unwanted border disputes in the near future, even if we do seem to be in close proximity...

Turn 2 -> St Jon
World Leaders,
Hextapul knows that all leaders must be clever to succeed, but the virtues of trustworthiness and honesty are His paramount goal. His name is a reflection of these virtues. It breaks His heart, that what is seen as a virtue among the Incans (honesty, integrity, truthfulness) might be seen as craftiness and even evil, among other nations. Now I am being portrayed as some kind of 'bogeyman' to the innocent and impressionable French children - an evil Jerry Lewis, as it were...
It is for these children that He fears for - the prejudices that are taught to them at an early age bloom into hatred later in life.
It is for these, and other reasons such as this, that Hextapul has not chosen to reveal himself yet.
But enough of the small talk, we go onto business...
It is a mystery as to how the Spanish had contact with us too - perhaps they have mistaken us for the legendary race of the Aztecs. Nevertheless, we have accepted the peace proposal of the Spanish nation, for peace is the goal of all people. We have also rescued the Australian sailors that have made it to our shores, and they are currently enjoying the hospitality of our women.
We also congratulate Xenophon for quelling the riots within his cities. The common man does not know how to manage his affairs - that is why God gave us the institution of government. Wise leaders do not let mere men dictate the events in their realms.
Hextapul has spoken!!!

A strange message was delivered to the Welsh people today. The message was unintelligable to us heathen Welsh. Some have called the language German.....
Perhaps when our new government is realised, the government of the lord, then this strange message will be deciphered.

The people rejoyce at the crowning of the first king of Australia. King Stavros the 0th.
There was to be great feasts all through the land, but the rations are too low.
There was to be dancing in the streets, but all the entertainers are out ploughing the fields.
There was to be a great tournament, to prove the worth of our armed men, but all of the knights are out scouting the land.
There was to be a great exhibition, displaying the greatest inventions of our scientists... but they have as yet to invent any....
Time goes by in the Kingdom of Australia, as the people wish for better times....
