~The Bitter End~

Day 474, 08:05 Published in Austria Germany by Chicco

Dear Austrian congressmen and congresswomen,

It is unfortunate that our efforts to remove Silent Bob from office have been frustrated. We now know that Walent and Viktoria1994 are Hungarian supporters as well. I guess the sad lesson from this episode is to trust no-one.

Some of you have made great sacrifices to remain in Tyrol, like giving up hard worker's medals. However, let us at least take comfort in the fact that we fought the good fight. Austria is deeply indebted to your unwavering commitment to our cause.

As her last legitimate President I feel entitled to award Decorations of Honor in recognition of these demonstrations of selfless defiance. Torgo receives the Grand Star for being a pillar of strength in our ranks, rising to every challenge, and leading the media campaign against our unwelcome 'guests'. Torgo's articles are a unique blend of strangeness, wit, and mind-boggling vocabulary. Torgo is the kind of player who adds a unique flavor to this game, his short but compelling articles standing in stark contrast to the stale and generic rhetoric of our opponents.

Moreover, I award the Decoration of Honor in Gold to Kretschmar, who has been with us for a long time and has dutifully carried out various functions in a number of Austrian administrations. The thought to forsake his beloved Austria would never cross his mind.

Finally, Decorations of Honor in Silver are awarded to Iubita, simon hainig, and Kaiser Franz Joseph. These players stayed with us until the bitter end.

Honorable mentions go out to Robert Knotsworth and Maaris for relentlessly defending our cause in newspaper articles and comments.

Sadly, there is no point in staying in Tyrol any longer under the current circumstances. After writing this article I am going to move to Germany-Austria, and I recommend you do the same. PM me if you need travel tickets.

You should not see our departure as exile, but instead as our return to the real Austria, the new Austria. Moreover, our departure from Tyrol does not mean we abandon this region or Burgenland. Although my hopes for Burgenland are fading, I am confident we will be able to at least unite Tyrol with the rest of Germany-Austria.

Never forget: Rot Weiß Rot bis in den Tod!
