I'm looking for a few good nations to help lead the resistance against the tyranny of outdated British imperialism in Northern Ireland. If you thought Michael Collins was a badass...

Supreme Executive Minister of the Free Land of Sonsy

"...and North Yorkshire's report on the trial decriminalisations reads positively, over all. Now, and I don't want to cause the Prime Minister alarm by this, which is why I've addressed the Cumbrian drainage scheme first... it's really nothing, you know... but word from MI5 suggests the vague possibility of some fresh republican agitation in the six c..." The civil servant was stopped by the creaking rise from his seat of the considerably proportioned premier. PM Bull may have championed increased devolution throughout the UK, but he expected in return some limits to disunity. He was clearly agitated.

"I... I'm sure it's nothing, Prime Minister!" The civil servant went on, forcing half a laugh. "Probably just idle talk from one lone crank!"

But Bull was sufficiently concerned to pick up the phone and arrange meetings with the proper staff. Perhaps he was just bored by what was otherwise a slow news week, nobody could say.

(OOC: In other words, nothing happened. I just wanted a fancy tag, and am not even sure if you already have somebody playing the UK, anyway.)

My name is Rev. Dr. Ian R.K. Paisley. Ireland was my original homeland, Northern Ireland that is, infact I have been the Ulsterman there for some 30 years. Now, I have become the Emperor of the Greater Prussian Empire (OOC: I know its a stretch but just go with it) I pray against these Irish terrorists. They are the very tools of anti-Christ, of the old Harlot, Scarlet "Church" of Rome. They are nothing but the minions of the devil himself! I urge all true Christians in Northern Ireland and the so-called Republic of Ireland to fight against the Irish Peoples Front. Furthermore, the Greater Prussian Empire will provide support to any nation wishing to destroy them as we are also currently experiancing problems with Roman Catholic Terrorists.

God be with us all.

Rev. Ian R.K. Paisley.

Emperor of Greater Prussia.

Seamus McDougal, Secretary of Defense, tapped his ergonomic pen on the yellow legal pad as he waited for the Supreme Executive Minister to arrive.
"They're not taking us seriously," whined Donal O'Toole, Assistant Chief of North Ireland Affairs.
"That's because we haven't made our move yet," McDougal calmly replied. "Besides, we're still in the recruitment stages and we're going to need a few more allies before we're ready to take on the Honkey Motherland."
"But we've gotten reports that they're already aware of the People's Front of Ireland," O'Toole insisted. "Maybe we should stop before we get too involved."
"Nonsense, people can't even get our name right yet. How can they stop what they don't understand?" McDougal rubbed his throbbing temples. It was going to take a lot of creativity and a little more manpower to give the beaneaters the boot. "We just have to keep our objectives in sight and we will unify Ireland once again."
"But if they find out this is state-sponsored --"
"There are only three people who know the full scope of our plans. Right now we've got agents searching out interested allies, but the most anyone can tell, its a grass roots campaign," McDougal stood up. "By the time they realize who is really organizing all of this, it will be too late."
