Written by Steve Crook <steve@brainstorm.co.uk>

When Britain granted the warring island of Gaillardia self government they forgot to tell their Resident Advisor. Years later the Foreign Office are dumbfounded to receive an urgent message from their faithful employee reporting the suspicious activities of a bunch of Russian spies dressed as Cossacks going round digging holes everywhere. The F.O. muster their finest, or at least Carlton-Browne, to undertake a goodwill visit, while a chance meeting between Loris, the new king of north Gaillardia, and lovely Princess Ilyena from the south looks like it might change the political - and romantic - situation anyway.
