Thank you for your kind words, but I dislike praise.

If I finish all these vassals on time, though, then you can praise me. Preferably in the form of a bottle of Shariz circa 1963.

That was a good year.

And yes, I control all the outside nations: The Ordained Kingdom, the Baccan Empire, the Southern Islands, the Volcanic Island, and the roving Giants, along with all your vassals, to an extent.
