Jibby7 selects South Africa. All persons deemed non-essential by King Jibby7 shall be removed from South Africa to Antartica, regardless of creed or color. Jibby7 then places dibs on Princess Charlize Theron, and also further hijacks the world’s diamond market. ---

(runs in frantically) Am I too - (huff, puff) - late to call Denmark? I’m not. Great! All the fun of Sweden, but with the ‘Æ’! Also, it’s right next to Germany. If I want to wrest Germany from **Herrn zweisamkeit** , I can, with my hordes of fellow red-haired Vikings! And, **kambuckta** , your little hideaway will technically be part of my country. So will Greenland. So much hidden landmass, so few people who know anything about it! I’m so happy! (collapses in exhaustion) ---

Isn’t the Vatican sort of a country? I’ll take that. That way my tentacles will extend into just about everything else that’s already been claimed!

I claim Austria! You German pigdogs will never keep the new Austria (twice the crazies with none of the bootlicking)! Aaah, Austria: So close to Swiss gold, so many Alps to hide bitter-enders in. My system of Active Mountain Defenders will destroy any Pan-European schemes! Feel the wrath of the thorn in the side! Muahahaha! (And if I can’t claim Austria, I hereby proclaim and claim the Republic of Montana! I GOT ICBMS IN CONVENIENT REDDI-LAUNCH SILOS UP HERE! I GOT MALMSTROM AFB AND OLD SAC AIRCRAFT!
