Diamondesce, you say that the time of the Great Empires has passed.
This, I feel is true, as honestly very few institutions in this day and
age 'rock my socks off'. However, this being the tradgedy that I think
it is, I can't let this go on as simply as thus.


As such, I am announcing the beginning of my new MEDIOCRE EMPIRE!

Benefits, you say?

Shoddy moral standards, heavy substance consumption and abuse, and, of
course, pie, would all be items to look forward to. Pirates may be
involved, but such is not guaranteed.


With the end of the era of Great Empires and the dawning of the era of
Mediocre Empires, surely there will be some sort of battle for
supremacy. Let it be known that we're still in the forefront, for we
still have the Gypsy Village!

Ooh, pretty wagon...
