My dear Rulers,
 
Vox Populi has already decided on the new Italian Ruler.
His Dip name is Sgttod and if you're a regular on DC he won't be a stranger for you.
His email address is sggttod-at-mainecav-dot-org; also included above.
 
Please welcome him as you see fit.
Just remember the biblical proverb: a neighbour near is better than a friend afar.
Ah, what the heck, you can always sandwich him.
 
As to our Fall deadline. Remember that we also have a Endgame proposal.
It's the Russian-France Draw. All YES votes are required or else it's turned down.
 
Frank
