The latest news regarding the Cottish annexation of San Marino
In a press conferance today, the Cottish government told the world that they are going to take San Marino as a protectorate, meaning that they are going to have the power in San Marino, but there will be autonomy for the San Marinians.

Elected Leader Rothsky's chief of staff, Jack Hamza at press conferance
"No, the elections were not rigged. However, since Cottish forces in the nation are not many (4000 men), soldiers could not be at every location and survey the election. It is possible that locals loyal to the warlords have attempted to fix the election. However, 92% of the population (over 18 years, of course) showed up and voted. Cottish military police is currently investigating the reports, and expect to finish the investigation within next week."

We thank Baltic Karelia for the kind words.
Roman Emperor Rodin Hartian spoke regarding the recent annexation of San Marino and the controversy over the elections.
"It is within our view that the election of Thomas Rothsky in San Marino was not rigged at all, and that a full and fair vote was held. We also recognize the protectorateship of San Marino by Cotland, as we hope it will restore order in this troubled region."
The Pergastan Empire recognises Cotland's claim to San Marino, and commends her forces in the method of it's liberation. May peace return swiftly.

Prime Minister
OOC: I've been playing with the idea that some San Marinians dislike the restoration of order so much that they start doing some good old fashioned terrorism.
Statement from Elected Leader Thomas Rothsky:
"Cotland appreciates the voices of support from RomeW and Pergast, and invite both nations to open embassies and consulates in Cotland. The complements regarding the 15th Infantry Brigade's actions has been sent to the Ministry of Defence, where the generals are fighting with their bare hands for the paper on which the praise stands. 'Operation: Marina Peace' has been a great success, and the first sign that Cottish forces are well equipped for combat and peacekeeping operations."
Well, if you need any help, you can call on our support.
Pergast is honoured by Cotland's offer of friendship, and will set aside a building in the Dresden diplomatic sector for a Cotlandish embassy. The sector is regularly patrolled by the 3rd battalion of the 13th Grenadier Guards, and is considered the safest area in the city.

Prime Minister
OOC: Thankyoumuchly fer the embassy, staff are standard Pergastan Embassy numbers; Ambassador, 2 Aides, their secretaries and a section (10) of Pergastan Military Police.
Pergast, I don't intend to snip at you, but have you reached an agreement with Aequatio over Germany out of curosity?
OOC: He still hasn't damn well replied. If only I had his msn...
Aha! I'll look him up in members, then add him to my msn list!
OOC: Heh, I know. Besides, you're more active than he is in Germany.
OOC: I consider that a compliment :D
We would also like to open an embassy in Tunis and invite Cotland to do the same in Rome.
OOC: I consider that a compliment :D
I should also mention his last post on the forums came nearly a month ago:
