(Womaak) In a hastily-arranged news conference outside the fourth floor
mens bathroom, Lucius Toop, the Assistant Undersecretary for Business Development announced that the Bughers of the Principality of Chime had unanimously resolved to eliminate Chime's income tax, effective with the start of the next fiscal year.

"Chime is always open for business," Toop exclaimed, shifting anxiously
from foot to foot and squatting slightly. "The more of the people's hard-
earned wealth which stays in their pockets, the better! The government
makes plenty off the vigrish . .I mean, licensing and transfer fees,
enough to keep our essential services running. It's good news! Really
good news! I'll take questions in about. . .five minutes."

Reporters were quick to note the sudden appearance of a variety of
luxury automobiles in the parking lot of the Ministry of Commerce
building, many with low-number license plates.

Really? Mr.Toop saw that to be wise did he? Well Great!! :D :D I'm sure your people love you, mine don't :( Or at least not always :)

I'm trying my best to have as many civil rights as possible but I just can't get all the way. So I would like to know more about this place called chime. perhaps a friendship I daresay?

Dear Sir:

Thank you for the favor of your reply!

The good people of the Principality of Chime are motivated by one thing -
customer satisfaction! When our customers are happy, our people are
happy. The recent action to eliminate income taxes frees our people to
invest their money in whatever way necessary to optimize their personal
potential. Through the actualization of that potential, they achieve! And
when they achieve, they are truly free!

If I might be so bold, I might recommend that you take a Long Hard Look
at what you're trying to accomplish with your investment in civil rights.
Where has it gotten you? And if they get all kinds of "civil rights", will
they be civil? Or will they still be lax, slovenly, lackadaisical and imbued
with the motivation of a four-fingered tree sloth shot up with demerol and
vicodan?

Your messate to your citizens should be: Straighten up! Fly right! Get
with the Program!

Thank you again for the kind reply to our recent NewsNet release. I look
forward to future communications with your government.

With kinds regards,

To My Esteemend Grand Vicon:

Thank you for your kind message! The Burghers of the Principality of
Chime are pleased to enjoy the cooperation of our neighbors and
trading partners, who see in our fair country a marvelous opportunity
for them to reach out to new markets and new sources of income! It is
through this open attitude to commerce that we find ourselves to be an
epicenter of international amity and collegiality!

In light of this, our neighbors consider any aggression toward our fair
state to be tantamount to self-mutiliation, for as the Principality of Chime
is diminished, so they are diminished as well! To quote the noted
philosopher and meat-grinder Augustus Gloop, "What Goes Around,
Comes Around."

Please feel free to visit our capitol of Womaak and enjoy our Regional
Specialities! This is the prime season for delictable Canal Snails, which,
when prepared in the traditional manner and enjoyed with a chilled glass
of Slatevik, are known to transport the diner to realms of pleasure rarely
enjoyed by the unwashed masses of other states. Truly, we are blessed!

I look forward to future communications with your government, and
remain, your servant,
