Not MSN, but Yahoo Messenger (which I hardly use). Username is laurasibinescu, if you're up for a chat. Right now I've only got two clear ideas apart from the Austria in the Soviet bloc one, but a lot of different ones running around trying to get my attention. We can talk via messenger, because I get the feeling those two alone would take ages to develop upon.

Also, I really, really want to see you write some Prussia/Fritz interaction. I tried it once, but I wasn't particulalry happy with the result in the end.
