From the desk of the CFM (Chief Foreign Minister):

• Innovia and Loco sure are cozy all of a sudden!! This has got to be the biggest and most unexplained turn-around in foreign relations I've ever seen in an MTDG. I can't wait to read the forums afterward and see what happened here.
• I still can't see whether or not the other teams have Iron! It is still not showing on our side of the ledger for me. So I'm taking Memphus's word that all the other teams still lack it… but as far as I can see, everyone has it.
