I wish it were that simple. If it were, I expect world peace and a world
government would rule the day in the mundane world. But, coming from a
pessimistic stance, I expect that principalities will be in our,
Ansteorra's, future. Possibly future kingdoms from those principalities. I
wish that the ONE STAR could remain ONE KINGDOM. As I signed off last time,
I am ANSTEORRAN, even though I originally joined the Game in CAID.

Hopefully, you are correct. You do have my support in any attempt to make
the Kingdom of Ansteorra stronger and more unified.
