During the 57th Trade Period in the existence of the Federation, only 4 Virtuans ended in the Top 20.
The period before, 5 Virtuans seized their moment of glory in this prestigious ranking, and after the periods 55, 54 and 53, resp. 5, 9 and 9 inhabitants of the Virtuan Nation survived the struggle.
Are these lowering numbers an omen?
Since the founding of Virtua (approximately 30 rounds ago), the expectations of every right-minded person concerning this gate towards the international community haven’t changed:
an upward trend, unstoppable, but also welcomed in their new environment.
In the rest of the world (that isn’t part of the Federation [yet] and thus can be considered as of no importance at all), people who speak English form a huge majority when compared to the Dutch-speaking peoples.
What is it that obstructs their march to glory, their inevitable penetration of the select club of top businessman, this high society?
Did all the captains of the boats connecting our Civilization to the Wilderness Out There die in a tragic bus accident in Egypt?
Have the most powerful countries in the world united to oppose the exponential growth of our Prosperity Federation?
Are war ships taking positions at the Valuta and the DoeKoe this very moment, trying to put boundaries to our capitalist successes?
We hope to tell you more on this matter in the next edition.
