So long and thanks for all the fertilizer

Postby Ransium » Sun Nov 22, 2020 7:17 am

Mangrove seed pods can float on water and successfully root thousands of miles away from the parent mangrove with no additional input from the parent tree. I am not really a mangrove and I’ve found my little seedling to be a bit more work than that.

I’ve decided to retire from being a mod. My plan right now is to continue to maintain this nation and maybe some presence in my chosen haunts, but if I do CTE you can be rest assured it’s because I’m focusing on more important things.

Cheers,
Ransium

I know we may not have interacted many times, but I think you were a good mod in your tenure. I'm sure the mods and the general community will miss you. Good luck on your future endeavours! :)

They should keep you on the IE team officially even when you're inactive, in case you ever want to come back in a few years time. Just my opinion though.

Official name: the Netherlands
After some disputes within the PVV and the CDP about the new political party (National Party of the Netherlands) PM Legtenberg announced that the name will be the Conservative Party. Because the initial NPN became associated with far-right parties NSB and NSDAP in the '30s and '40s. PM Legtenberg further announced that the Netherlands wil also be a Federal Republic from 1 January 2024. And that he will become the first President of the Netherlands. How this will affect the elections will be decided by him and the House
