Diplomatic News (Lemuria and the Red Antilles)

In accordance with the decision of the Burgerforum (Citizen's Forum - the provional "parliament" of the Second Republic), the Provisional Head of State has appointed Gert Geens as plenipotentiary to negociate a treaty of mutual recognition with the Empire of Lemuria. Geens is the founder of the original Republic of Flanders, and was its president on two seperate occasions (1997-1998 and 1999-2000), and is now a prominent member of the Second Republic. It also seems likely that official diplomatic recognition of the Red Antilles is on its way.
