Fier d'etre Treiziste!

Bougainville Island also known as North Solomon is at present understaking a referendum to separate from PNG. Chances are it will vote to leave, having deposits of copper and gold to sustain it. RL appears to be popular amongst its poulation of 250,000 and it was here that the first SOO was played betetween Aussie troops from Queensland and NSW during the fight against the Japanese occupiers. Result expected by mid December, apparently lots of folk coming by boat and down from the hills to vote.
