Nanjing China Expat Colonials Seek Financial Aid From Wuxi China Expatdom

A deputation of colonist-Expats from the Nanjing China Expatdom
arrived in Wuxi yesterday for urgent talks with King Gorzo the Mighty and the
WCE Parliament.

The deputation was led by the Nanjing Expatdom's Acting (he once did a passable Richard III ) Treasurer Mr Uriah Heep, who, standing with cap in hand outside the Expatdom's Parliament, said that he had come to beg and grovel for
a financial aid package.

"The Nanjing Expatdom's present deficit stands at 16 trillion RMB.
We are in dire straits. Here in the Wuxi China Expatdom, where the streets are paved with gold, we hope to prevail upon the leaders to help us out". "We'll be asking for a loan of 28 trillion RMB - to pay our current bills, and to help us out with future
contingencies".
Heep explained that the Nanjing Expatdom's woes were attributable to
massive outstanding expat-bar bills ("on the slate"), and electricity and gas bills
unpaid for the last 18 months. "But things have always been tough for us", Heep said, "and well, a lot of our expats seek some relief from their troubles by partying every night, like it was 2999".

King Gorzo the Mighty told media representatives that whilst no outcome of the talks had yet been reached, there were "certain matters" that had to be taken into consideration.

King Gorzo said that he had remined the WCE Parliament that "it was the Nanjing Expatdom's forces that had invaded and occupied the WCE in 1912, and had wreaked havoc upon our Expats here. As you'd all know, it was only the timely and heroic intervention of our WCHOFer Colonel Harlan Sanders, that saved our Expats from serfdom and penury".

Whilst I, King Gorzo, am magnanimous, munificent, and infinitely-forgiving, there are members in our Expatdom Parliament who have long memories." "Some", he added, "want to drag those Nanjing emissaries into our KFC shrine here where, salivating and drooling, they can reflect upon those disgraceful bygone days". King Gorzo said that he hoped the talks would proceed in a civil and productive manner, and a satisfactory outcome would be reached.
