I have actually been playing a lot of poker recently (and winning 90% of the time), but in this context, I find your pun to be "meh". Still, I appreciate the effort. As for "The Burrow", what's wrong with its current moniker? And it is nowhere near as damp and cold as is commonly believed, except the fireplace in my room which *does* let a lot of cold air in, and the roof *does* leak in a few places (but only, apparently, when the rain is heavy and hits the roof at a certain angle... I know, crazy, eh?). Aside from that, it is quite comfortable. Carpets, floorboards, another fireplace, nice new leather couches and many overflowing bookshelves. Yes, 'tis not too bad.

Anyway, why listen to the evil Mullah or the Capitalist Vampire? They don't even have flags! Let the Royal Ensign of Esquilaxitavia be shown (or, at least, one variation of it):
Not bad, not bad at all.(1)

(1)(I've been waiting for 19 months to display that, but the opportunity never arose. In addition, I have been awaiting feedback from my collaborator (who designed the flag before I modified it), but alas... Anyway, was the flag worth the wait? "Probably not" you will no doubt say, *sigh* .(2)

(2)Now I will wait until tomorrow for Indy and Taw to spend a sleepless night making flags in this ongoing game of "oneupmanship" (as they say in Ostrahhhlya) .

Eskie I am seriously impressed. By this point I would have expected the only flag you would be waving was white. The depth of your delusional little burrow is truly remarkable.

Indeed, while I must say that the work is pretty good, the blatantly false propoganda negates the worth of that work.

The denizen of Dank House is not a GB swilling bunny rabbit, much as it would like you to think that it is. It is a chimaera, a rather unsightly one at that with head of hare and body of horse.

*sniff*

And we don't need flags in Noo Dworkia. Our currency is our national emblem. We, all of us, carry our national emblems with us practically all the time ... as do our good friends and trading partners.

Indeed, 'tis true. Since the Tawakalni Dinar has been pegged to the value of the Noo Dworkian dollar, economic stability has greatly benefited Tawakalnistan. The farsighted decision by the Grand Mullah of the Exchequer (me) to lift trading tariffs and lower taxation from 100% to zero for foreign companies called IndyCorp and provide a ready and willing source of cheap labour has resulted in a veritable flood of inward investment allowing me to have that extention built onto the Great Pala.. erm Mosque and to get those felgerkarb tiles replaced at last!

Ha! I knew it! Once again Esquilaxtavia pulls ahead with it's "ace in the hole"! Take that Noo Dworkia and Tawakalnistan! Ah well, maybe if we wait 19 months they'll have something to show us that can compete with my flag . As for propaganda... Lies! All lies! All the world (see forum) know that Esquilaxitavia is a haven for rabbits and rabbitkind, and therefore the image on the flag is completely appropriate. After all, I never said that MY image was on the flag, as that's something that Taw would do (and possibly Indy). One of these days, time permitting, I may just have to show you what their flags would look like...

"Tors" - Thanks, but I would like to once again reiterate that the original design was created by a good friend of mine, and that I tweaked it and added colour (and the bottle of G. I didn't do that much really. The original was in greyscale as a concept, but it was still bloody good. And now, let's see the other variation!
