I seem to remember that the last time we tried to open diplomatic relations with the Aerican Empire, we were rejected on the grounds that we were a game rather than a nation. Their website now says: "...the Empire welcomes contact with any and all states, whether they are soverign states, political excercises, simulations, or games." Perhaps it's time to try again?
P.S. I've (perfunctorily) maintained my Aerican citizenship since then, on the off chance that it would somehow turn out to be useful.
