That was in regard to a hostage crisis.


Anyway, what about historical sovereign nations?

No. If you want to write up every nation in history, be my guest, but my fingers are already too sore from the 204 that exist at the moment.

I've seen diplomats sent to places that weren't sovereign states. Hell, I've seen a diplomat working at a piece of private property to settle a dispute. It's not typical, but it happens.

I voted for "No Opinion", but I have a high regard for the Czech Republic. Beautiful country (Prague is simply stunning and Moravia reminds me of where I grew up), excellent cuisine, long and fascinating history, and they put pictures of poets and artists and musicians on their money instead of just dead politicians.

Eastasia, Eurasia, and Oceania are not represented. This poll be fraud. But I actually ended up voting for Spain. Something about Spain just seems right to me. Being in Spain feels like wearing my favorite boots, if that makes any sense.

I won't vote until Sealand is an option. *Huffs*
Sealand is not a sovereign state, it's three lunatics living on an old sea fort.
Who get their own diplomats from Germany.
Germany is not a sovereign state, it's eighty one million lunatics living on an old land mass.
