Well, first and foremost, Henrik, I do hope you don't
mind me having used the name and that you would be
gracious in letting me continue to use it. 

(After all, it would be a shame to leave such a
beautiful part of the world uninhabited after your
legions have marched north across it, colonists in
tow!) 

Secondly, I would festoon you with flashing lights and
shiny tinsel, before turning to the others and crying,
"Lo! For there he stands! Reana's muse, and saviour
from a humdrum name!" And I would have everyone clap
and cheer respectfully as you took a bow.

(If I ever decide to lay down some conculture it may
well be, should the Hapsburgs leave the scene, that
the first President of the Reanan Republic has a name
not too dissimilar to yours.)

Finally, yes, of course I read it!  I told you it was
lovely.  Those I-umlauts are a bitch though, huh? 
Certainly causing me a headache here, further south.  


I just find the idea of Romans in Iceland so amusing.
I can see them all shivering in woolly togas, after
they get out of geothermal baths, wondering what they
did wrong to get posted so far north!
