STATEMENT FROM THE DESK OF THE ETHNARCH
January 10, 2002

"The recent events involving Buenos Altos and Meijing have been troubling to all Rattanjeetland people. Rattanjeetland has always supported Meijing in her attempt to grow, and thus do give Gorditas complete support in the recent liberation of Meijing.

"Though Buenos Altos got what it deserved, I do hope that Buenos Altos does resolve this conflict peacefully, as B.A. should now realize that Meijing and Gorditas would have become much more powerful allies rather than the enemies that B.A. has made them."
