Chimaea II

OOC: This is a puppet representing the Commonwealth of Chimaea, which is a resurrected nation (resurrected twice now, heh). Unfortunately, Jolt isn't allowing me to post as Chimaea, so this puppet will stand for Chimaea proper.

Empire of Baron
Scientists were shocked and baffled today when an entire continent appeared suddenly and without much fanfare, causing a small fishing boat to capsize.
The continent, as was later discovered, was the missing Commonwealth of Chimaea, which vanished under mysterious circumstances several years ago. It turns out this isn't the first time the nation has vanished, either:
"I can't understand it, myself," reported Chimaean businessman Jim Naseum, interviewed in the streets of Chimaea's capital city, New Sydney, "The first time a few years ago, I was washing my car and I felt dizzy for a few minutes and everything went... weird. And suddenly we were back, everything was normal but the rest of the world had spent a few months looking for us. This time, I was making toast and it happened again! It was like a bright flash, then darkness, then I swear I saw Elvis riding a flying donkey. And suddenly we're back again and this time years have passed! Chimaea can't keep doing this, I dropped my toast and everything!"
Noted scientist Professor Schroedinger, recovering from his mental breakdown whilst trying to explain Chimaea's first vanishing, noted that "It's all probably freakin' quantum, so bite me. And someone get that damned cat out of that box! It's not funny anymore!"
Chimaea's Governor, Lady Tanya Bryce, appealed for calm in a televised broadcast to the nation:
"I realise most of us are quite shaken, but initial reports tell us that all Chimaeans, even those who were outside of Chimaea at the time, vanished with us. Your relatives are quite safe and haven't aged either.
"While we can't explain why this strange phenomenon happened twice, or even once, I can assure you that we shall be making contact with the rest of the world as soon as possible to re-establish trade and get up to date on current world news. Some of our allies seem to be missing too. It disturbs me to note that Syskeyia, in particular, seems to have ended up a giant smoking crater. We're at a loss to explain why.
"I want to reassure all Chimaeans that even though we have a bit of catching up to do, life will go on as before. If not better than before. Thank you."
Apart from a brief shift of the military to high alert and a few accidents on the busier roads, there does not seem to be any major issues. Again.
--------------------
The Commonwealth of Chimaea wishes to extend diplomatic relations with other interested democratic nations. We look forward to opening trade and political/diplomatic ties with you.
Thank you for your time,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Cmmwlth. of Chimaea.
