A Potted History of Diplomatic Relations in Live-in-a-Hole
4004 BC - Founded by The Principality of Briswold, no other members, diplomatic relations at their smoothest.
1870 AD - Joined by The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz, cordial discussions on dairy products and brassica derivatives. [Note: It appears that these early relations were infact a farce and that Mighty and most Humble Seraph XIV (leader of the Serafinowiczians) actually had his fingers crossed behind his back and that relations between the founder state and their first neighbours were actually a wee bit tense]
1873 AD - The start of the Hundred Years War, as nations flock to the region, with vigorous banditry and piracy related to the trout and basket industries.
Tuesday Last - A minor disagreement over wheelbarrow quotas.
20/10/2007 - Cultural differences in the region have created unusual tensions. Visitors to the The Republic of Bentlavia are complaining of poor service in all retail sectors after being told "That'll be 10 minutes".
23/10/2007 - A nervous ripple went through the existing nation states of Live-in-a-Hole with the arrival of the psychotically ruled The Oppressed Peoples of Dis-Quiet. It is understood that The Free Land of The gaoled in an attempt to extend a diplomatic hand of friendship had it ripped off, peeled, boiled and served for supper!
23/10/2007 - Currency issues continue to cause tension between neighbouring nations. Cultural advisors from The Principality of Briswold have called an emergency meeting to discuss how to react to The Republic of Goode-Hunters remark that their economy was a "basket case" because their currency was s**t. Calls from the National Bank of Briswold to rename their currency have been met with dismay from their government.
25/10/2007 - The Republic of Goode-Hunters send out special educational task force to the The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz to improve Serafinowiczians knowledge of Brassicas. It is understood that this voluntary education unit was issued with radiation protection suits and a ready supply of Iodine infused Soda.
26/10/2007 - A bitching feud seems to have developed between The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz and their nearest neighbours The Principality of Briswold regarding which is the most important nation in the region. Commentators have suggested that really Serafinowiczians have just got a big chip on their shoulders because they had to leave their home region of a North Facing Patch of Scree (currently inhabited by squatters) to join a region with some possibility of civilisation!
