RB City, the Pest Control Company of Roach-Busters

Today, at long last, the Timothy Ell Memorial is open to the public. Engineers, architects, and Shooban slaves spent many long, arduous, back-breaking, mind-bending months of strenuous, rigorous, exhaustive labor constructing this memorial, built as a homage to the late Prime Minister Tim Ell of Pacitalia, known for his unabiding love of liberty, staunch defense of free-market capitalism, scrupulous integrity, unique character, youthful charisma, and his ambitious, idealistic, visionary statesmanship. The memorial features a statue of PM Ell that stands 25 feet tall and a prestigious museum with over 15 rooms, each focusing on a different aspect of Tim Ell the man and Tim Ell the statesman. Generalissimo J.L. was present at the unveiling, and delivered a moving, eloquent, pro-Ell speech that lasted nearly three hours and brought nearly the entire crowd of over 10,000 people to tears. Tickets to the memorial are $10 for adults and $5 for children and seniors.

Heads of state/government, diplomats, and political figures do not need to pay to be admitted.

OOC: Who was this chap? My government will send a representative to pay tribute, but I have no idea what he did.

He was a great leader, a great statesman, a great man, a great friend. He devoted his life to liberty in his own homeland and peace and conciliation abroad. He was a giant among men. He is missed dearly.

OOC:I would look at the "Random Facts" link in my sig for more info.

OOC: Wow! :p I wanna see that speech.

I have spoken with the President himself on the project of the Timothy Ell Memorial in RB City, we both applaud your nations citizens appreciation and admiration of the greatest Prime Minister that Pacitalia ever had. The President also expresses interest in establishing better diplomatic relations with the nation of Roach-Buster. So we are sending an inquiry in a Presidential State Visit to RB, to visit the Memorial and other Roach-Busterian landmarks. The President will also like to meet the people of Roach-Buster and speak to the Roach-Busterian Legislature.

Much appreciated. We, too, desire strong and friendly relations with your great nation.

OOC: Post the speech! :p

Maybe Canada-RB-Pacitalia can be the new Triangulus, now that Sarzonia refuses to be in it.

Words cannot convey how deep my respect is for one of history's most influential, revered, and idealistic statesmen. Whatever factor you decide to judge- be it wisdom, integrity, common sense, charisma, oratory, character- Tim towers over the others like a giant looming over anthills. I am deeply humbled, gracious, and honored to have known this great man, whose sharp intellect, warm humor, cordial disposition, and scholarly statesmanship were simply astounding. He is without a doubt one of history's most powerful and outspoken defenders of liberty, rivalled only by Jesus Christ, Adam Smith, and the Founding Fathers of the former U.S.A. It was impossible not to like Tim the statesman, and even more difficult to dislike Tim the man. Tim was not a politician. A policitician is a self-serving scoundrel who thinks only of the next election. A statesman is a servant of the community who thinks of the next generation. Tim was both a humble servant and a strong leader, the best of both worlds. His people- and all people who cherish the sweet taste of liberty- deeply respect this great man, as do I. Hence, I have built this memorial in honor of his life and his legacy. Thank you.

Bump, only because this topic is about me ;) j/k Josh.

Our newly appointed Vice-President, Lieutanant T.K. Termite, is leaving Green Sun to visit the statue and attend 'other matters' in Roach-Busters.

OOC: I think we should have a poll to decide who's the world's greatest-ever leader in NS, past or present. ;)
