A changing of the Czars

[snip]

Hello everyone, we have an announcement to make regarding Russia. Guinness has informed us that he does not have the time currently to dedicate to the game as much as is necessary to keep a major power like Russia running smoothly. As such, he will be stepping back from being an active player at this point in time. We wish him all the best and hope that he is able to return in some capacity at a later date. To that end, we have offered Russia to Alikchi in lieu of his proposed Andean Confederation and he has accepted. As of this post, Alikchi is now the Russian player. Please catch him up on all dealings you have had with Russia as soon as you can. All hail Czar Alikchi!

Hello folks! I'll be taking some time to familiarize myself with what Guinness has been up to but hope to have Russian sim reports and news for you relatively soon.

Sorry about Guinness, but not surprising.

Congrats to Alikchi.

Very sorry to see you step down, Guiness.  You're one of the the staples.  But its always good to see someone new stepping forward, welcome Alikchi!

Welcome to the game Alikchi pay no attention to the efforts of a certain Chief of the General Staff in Berlin or his work titled, Großer Ost Aufmarsch.
