Down the corridor from the General Assembly in the oft-forgetten Trusteeship Council, resolution 206-2934(IV) passed without much notice from the press corps. The Trust Territory of the Bratzke Islands passed into history as the Most Serene Republic of R-Kal Trulock gained independence.
It is a backwater nation to be sure, but there are those in forward-thinking circles that see the potential for this nation turning into an economic power with careful guidance and development by its stronger neighbors.
