Now look here Slabbo old boy. I and a number of my fellow imperialist/capitalist bastards were wondering if you would be open to the idea of the creation of an exclusive five star resort in Slabovia As you know I and my chums are phenominally wealthy - my annual income alone is at leasta hundred times the GDP of France - but I'm always on the look out to increase my holdings and fortune. I understand that there is an area of lakeside property in your fair land that's being used for nothing mor… Continue

Now look here! I've made a whizz bang tour of the dark continent lately ostensibly to follow the British and er, er other Lions. Of course I use this as a front to spot check my holdings ( which are considerable ) in various diamond and gold mines in South Africa. Incidentally I never understood those tribal Johnnies wanting autonomy. Slabbo and I agree on this much at least; fellows should be kept in their place. Now where was I? Ah yes. Wealth.

There were times I grant you when hospitality ran into the millions but then again why not; TO GET WHAT ONE WANTS ONE HAS TO PAY. It just happens I have more cash than most. Continue

Now look here! As a retired colonel in the Welsh Guards I'm always on the look out for a new territory to conquer. Slabovia seems fit for a take over. The Memsahib and I feel it only fair to warn you that there's no room in the world for Reds of any description. Therefore we intend to raise a private militia and convert you confounded commies to the ways of unbridled capitalism. I expect to be made Governor general within the month - weather permitting.
