way they treat it/them is the way we need to. I suspect that no decision was ever made by anything except the computer.<br>
<br>
[A little history. The order itself is somewhat of a joke - given to people when they travel away from Drachenwald. Back in the 1980s, most members of the principality were U.S. military on assignment in Europe. Their assignment is over when the military gives
them a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). So when they get their PCS, the principality gave them a PCS.]<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So here’s a question for those who care about such things:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Why have we attempted to differentiate between the Principality Company of Sojourners (PCSD) and the Popular Company of Sojourners (PCS) when Drachenwald, itself, just lumps them all together in one group and does
not differentiate<b>? </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Because we certainly haven’t been successful in keeping the distinction. The PCS has 26 members with award dates from 1983-07-09 to 2000-10-21. The PCSD has 16 members with award dates from 1985-10-26 to 2016-02-20.
Drachenwald became a kingdom on 1993-06-28.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Or in other words, I’m working on cleaning up the data in the OP. Some things have been easy fixes – names, misspellings, wrong ranking, etc. I know what I want to do here but I want to make sure I’m considering
all the angles before I do anything permanent. (And some of Drachenwald’s other awards have this happening as well.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
