I think this news will be of more concern to the subjects of King John, who make big play of the idea of a legitimate constitutional monarchy to hold the loyalty of their citizens, and might find themselves faced with the equivalent of a Jacobite uprising.
Is the King of Zarahemla referring to the following piece of prose:
In renouncing his citizenship, Brook Pànetâ, citizen since 1985, said that “It would be a happier world if there were still a Talossa the way it used to be.” In that spirit, members of the Émigré Community took with them everything of historic significance to Talossa: its 10,000 page national archives, the Speaker’s Bell, all the issues of Støtanneu, the country’s incorporation in the State of Wisconsin,the country’s original flag,its video history, its language database, the official stamp and seal, the trademark on the name “Talossa”, the 1,600-year-old Byzantine coin, its medals and bumperstickers, and even the “Romanian Train Conductor’s Hat” that King Robert
first donned in 1979. Talossans and their friends can take some solace in knowing that if anyone really wants to put Talossa back together, all the pieces are safe in storage, waiting for the dawn. To this day, a toast rings out over tables the world around: “Next year in Abbavilla!”
(Presently the last paragraph of "Ár Pästs", written by R. Ben Madison himself)
