I patrolled with my Smiths and found 7(!) scouts in MA Ulm, including Bandar Log and EA R'lyeh scouts. I'm touched to know Ulm is such a hotspot nations probably halfway across the world want to know what's going on in Ulm.
In other news, my income is back on track and is currently higher than my upkeep. Finally. Who knows; perhaps reascendance to a minor power, instead of a one-province well province, is in store for MA Ulm. It's doubtful, but one can hope.
