~Open letter to all Ladonian Citizens~

As a loyal subject to Ladonia since 2002 (Citizen nr: 2002-6925) and as acting for Ladonia in the capacity of Royal Ladonian Navy Admiral of Nautical Discovery (and land acquisition), claiming lands for Ladonia (Ladonian Isle of Blake, Ladonian Isle of Gilligan, New Ladonian Floating Pumice Isle in Tonga and less significant rocks sticking out of the water around the globe), using the help of my friends and the good ship 'Desire' (for real, not photoshopped). I appeal to you for granting me the position of ~ Minister of Danger and Unexpected Phenomenon ~.

I am currently in Hawaii preparing 'Desire' for her most challenging and epic voyage to date, namely her safe return to her home port of Seattle in the Salish Seas of the American North West. I plan to claim the Cobb Seamount 100 miles of off the North West Coast with a special floating Ladonian Flag Bouy I have deployed before on an emerging underwater volcano here in Hawaii.

As the head of the Ministry of Danger and Unexpected Phenomenon you will find no one more committed to Ladonian danger awareness and preparedness of the unexpected.

Yours most humbly,

Admrl. Schwarz, Royal Ladonian Navy (and Coast Guard)
