Admiral Pedro is inspecting Ladonian territories in Arizona. He sent this report:
“The Admiral has escaped a great danger last night. He shared room with a Mojave desert scorpion.
The Admiral slept with the scorpion and in the morning the Admiral proceeded with a preventive strike from the flag ship.
The result of the strike vaporized the Mojave’s scorpion and the threat to the admiral disappeared.
As a result of this the Admiral has decided to change hotel.”

Wotan’s tower in Ladonia today
For some time Ladonia has had a new favorite: The Monster-Nimis made by unknown visitors. Small contributions have been made during the last week.

Monster-Nimis 25th of August
The cabinet has appointed Admiral Pedro to Commander in Chief of Ladonia’s Fire Department (CiCoLFD).
Minister of Aquatic Paranoia has been appointed Captain of the Organization of Organized Competition Amongst Domesticated Polar Bears and Other Large Marine Mammals in Ladonia (the CoOCADPBaOLMMiL if you will).
Taru Minister MotaR has informed that the Minister of Aquatic Paranoia has caused the incident in Cern.
This Minister wanted a carte blanche from the cabinet: “I need full access to the CERN LHC, again please without questions asked.”
It is difficult to say if he got full support from the cabinet for this operation.
Sometimes it happens that Wotan’s tower is leaving its place for a short space trip.
