After a grueling negotiation with the Romulan leader, Mr. Gorntastic scored a big win which only he could have negotiated. The terms of the negotiation are: For the forgiveness of unpaid tariffs, the Rome Eternal empire will pay for the border wall between
the Empire of the Rising Swamp and the Fed Empires.</div>

After this negotiation was announced, there was much celebrating in the streets where the largest crowd that had ever gathered to celebrate any interstellar negotiation celebrated. Granted, nobody had ever gathered to celebrate an interstellar negotiation so
technically, the 1/2 dozen or so supporters that showed up to the celebration were, in fact, the largest crowd ever assembled.</div>
