OOC:

i'm sorry that i've not been active... i had computer problems then real life problems (the two big internet time killers)

i'll try to continue as Russia but i don't know how much time i'll have to be putting in. I'll step in as leader again during the next chapter/turn since i need a little time to catch up to speed with what's going on (perhaps someone in the entente could pm me with an update?)

cheers,
GMM
