The ministry of understandardization is issuing a new
understandard LMU-x about the Ladonian “Esperanto day”. On Esperanto
day, Esperanto is supposed to be spoken in Ladonia, and the special
Esperanto day flag (see attachment) may be flown. It is to take place
the 7-th Saturday before the first full moon that is on a Friday after
summer solstice. Thus, the next Esperanto day is on May, 31st. I am
informing you in advance before the understandard is issued. The next
dates will be:
July, 18th, 2009
January, 1st, 2011 (belonging to 2010)
May, 28th, 2011
ÿpily,
Hendrik Lönngren, MU
Today it will be possible to have Esperanto texts translated to Ladonian.

After all, Ladonians prefer to bring their carbon oxygen to our first deposition station. The alternative to dump it in Sweden will remain as a possible way to force the Swedes to a peace agreement.
But now we have the depositon station where everyone can bring their carbon oxygen that has been produced by breathing. It will immediately be used by the plants.

Steps have been taken in Ladonia to prevent further production of carbon oxygen. Human breath is a serious threat and now the visitors in Ladonia collect their own pollution in plastic bags.
The carbon oxygen is later released in Sweden as Ladonia is still at war with this stubborn country. When the Swedes have accepted a peace with Ladonia all carbon oxygen will be used in green houses to produce new plants.

Prince George C. Nelson has been appointed to Consul General in California, USA on the 14th of May 2008.
I remember that Tesibius from Alexandria after visiting the Temple of King Ladon, decided to engineer his water clock for measuring accurately time.
Later Archimedes inspired by Tesibius’ work designed and engineered his clock.
The Navy’s Laboratories have built a prototype of King Ladon’s Water Clock. The prototype is a replica of King Ladon’s Water Clock developped around 27000BC. Note that even today we are not able to replicate the time precision they achieved with the technology they had available at that time.
Amazingly it has an Atomic precision, probably due to the magical power King Ladon himself possessed.

“Of course we use Ladonian calendar, the one that wise King Ladon once
established. This calendar works like this (quoting King Ladon
himself): ‘After every meal, have a rest until the candle has burned
out. Have a rest every night until the dawn. Land should be tilled
when it is not covered with snow, birds should be killed to be fried
when they fly by.’
Ladonian Academy of Science has scientifically measured that we are to
rest for 2000 ladoseconds after every meal. Note also how King Ladon
already has a modern sense of cyclical change between hours and
seasons (spring, winter, and autumn are all referred to). Academy
estimates that at the time of King Ladon a calendar year was most
probably more or less of the same length as ours, otherwise the
wintertime and times for bird migrations would not have kept up with
calendar.

Another research has been done by Minister and Prince James Hartman:
“In CLARIS ET LARIS, the sister of Laris and daugther of Henry, Emperor of Germany. Her first husband was King Ladon of Ladonia, a man of advancing years, after whose demise she was captured by Savari, King of Spain. Arthur rescued her and she married Laris’ companion, Claris. # 30 - 156″ Source
