Wow, cool.
Perhaps I should send some high leaders to dine in your nation at that expensive place...

Simo Hayha and Suko Kolkka's Mosin-Nagnant Model 28s
OOC:
Simo Hayha's sniper rifle?
*drool*
Gimme! :P
Though, seriously, you have the rifle of the Finnish sniper that killed 542 soldiers of the Red Army (a feat unparalleled even by Vasily Zaitsev)?

OOC:
Simo Häyhä. Finland. 1939 - 1940.
A member of the 34th Infantry Regiment and a farmer by trade, Simo Häyhä became a most feared sniper during the 1939-40 (30 November 1939 14 March 1940) Winter invasion of Finland by the Soviet Union. Using nothing more than an iron sighted Mosin-Nagant Model 28, Simo is credited with killing 505 Russians during a nine month period - a feat still unmatched today by any sniper in any conflict. The impact of Simo and men like him forced the Soviets to pay dearly for their transgressions. While Finland lost the Winter war, it cost the Soviets 1,000,000 men killed out of the 1,500,000 man invading force*. The Finns lost a total of 25,000 men in that conflict. A testament to their bravery and determination in the face of amazing odds.
He passed away on April 1st 2002 at the age of 96
Hell yes I know what you had to do, you'd have to pry it off his cold dead hands buried six feet under.

*looks at the url* Woah. I just searched it off, appeared top on list. The site I knew didn't tell much.
Anyway, well it's *sort of* a godmod, it's not like any nation to give away a symbolic item. Not unless that nation's conquered or something.

i dont feel you intentionally godmodded, if that is really godmodding. Your nation is called sniper country, so it would not be unreasonable for a citizen of yours to dig it up, if nessesary, to obtain it for you.
Nice stuff you have there. Between the websites, and the in depth info, and all that.

OOC: While it would not be unreasonable for a nation called Sniper Country to dig it up, I think it would be unreasonable for any nation to allow any nation to dig it up.. So, it is sort of godmoding, but since it isn't very important, I don't really care. Even though I'm a Finn myself :P
