h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Where is the VP? He has a whole army just sitting around, dreaming of a day like this!

Messages need to be sent. I think that's my job. *hurries out*

Danny Wallace is some bloke who found some loophole in UK law anddeclared his house (or something) a separate nation.

Like Prince Leonard and Princess Shirley in Western Australia?

So how has dannywallace managed to get his site linked to H2G2?

*returns*
I've alerted the Terranic Army and found Jodan. Now I think it's time to sell tickets to the thread.

Stupendous. Now, with Hypatia offline for the moment, I suggest that you, Madame Secretary of State, take charge of negotiations. The Terranic, Evil and Sheep Army will be alerted in the mean time. Has anyone let the Evil Army know what's up?

It'd be nice to avert war, but I've got no problem with kicking their butts back to their part of dna.

We need an intelligence officer/spy to watch them in their planning threads and report back. Any volunteers?

*blusters and fumes*

I am online for a maximum of 5 minutes. I have meetings all day. Thank Bob you guys are on alert. I'll be back as soon as I can. I trust you all completely to handle the threat.

I think Auntie did a programme about him, and he's been given a DNA message board.

Negotiations will probably not work. This is the sort of invading force whose first act is to pee up the nearest wall.

You heard Hyp. I'm Dictator until she's got some free time

Negotiations probably won't work, you're right, but I feel that we're the sort of administration that should make an effort at it. We did run on a sensibility platform.

So rubbing their noses in the puddle probably isn't a good idea then?

I've left a formal message inviting them to come here and present their credentials. The salonistas are aware of the wallaceites or dannies or whatever they're called, and I also notified the planning people at the Terranic base. Frankly, I'm afraid of the Thingites. Who wants to raise them?

Being a Thingite, I'll talk to them.

Yes, of course. Being a Thingite, you understand completely why I'm afraid of them. Meanwhile, I'll call Wolfgang and organize some refreshments in the even the dannies show up here.

*exits war room*

Didn't the country end up being called Friendly or something, in which case they'd be Friendlians.

Mr. D. - I don't think there was any loophole exploitation; the Government just doesn't care if people want to go around pretending to set up countries.

*pops back in* Um, Jodan, can we find a better representative for the Terranic and Evil Armies? Reefgirl has already handed over a Thingite secret.

Which one? The Thurs forever thing? If anyone shouted that on the Manifesto page, they'd get mauled.

*runs into war room and skids to a halt*

Ahem, apologies for my lateness, Mr Vice President. Does anyone have an update for me? Briefing folder? Map with arrows representing the invading army, anything like that?

I've come up with a few conditions for the surrender of the Citizens Required Invasion Taskforce.

1. You will give up all your lands, titles and wealth. These will be distributed around h2g2 as President Hypatia and King 2legs see fit.
2. You will convert to the worship of Nighthoover.
3. You will denounce King Danny I and form the Forlorn Hope (i.e. cannon fodder) of h2g2's counter invasion.

Anybody want to add to this before I present it to them?

Is a counter-invasion really neccessary? I have no doubt, given our superior numbers and so on, that we would succeed, but why bother? We've got all we need here, we don't want or need citzensrequired. At least, I don't.

Well, I *said* counter invasion, but what I meant was "go over, steal all the tea and cakes, undermine the economy and then come home"
