FNORD Award Nominees Announced

MNN, Treesia - The FNORD Awards have moved into voting mode, with the finalisation of nominations earlier this week.

A large number of nominations have been received from a variety of nations, with all but one of the twelve awards receiving multiple nominations. The Achievement in Diplomacy award received four nominations, although three of these are to different parties involved in the Attero-Babkhan negotiations earlier in the year. Three nominations were received for Best New Micronationalist, while five nations battle it out for the title of Best New Micronation.
