At the end of June, the Royal personage embarked on a whirlwind diplomatic tour.
On the weekend of June 14-16, He joined forces with His sister, the Queen of STATYS (So There And Told You So), to deliver a much-needed economic stimulus package to Detroit, Michigan (AKA cross-border shopping). While there, both royals were hosted for dinner by the Sogmo of Sandus, Will Soergel, and their consort, Oliver.

On Monday of the following week, the King met up with Emperor Eric Lis of the Aerican Empire, who was accompanied by his consort Jenny and their son, Jake (AKA "Squishy") on their own grand tour. The royal party played mini golf and stopped for lunch.

On Wednesday, the King visited the Niagara consulate of Syldavia, which is hosted in the Belgian Chocolate Shop at 2455 Queen St. E., Toronto. Unfortunately, the consul general (AKA the shop owner) was not present to receive His Majesty, but He did pose for a photo with their flag, left a business card, and bought some very tasty chocolates.

Finally, on the Friday of that week, His Majesty did a walking tour of the Republic of Rathnelly, an area of Toronto which briefly separated from Canada in the 1960s to protest a planned Spadina Expressway which would have passed right through their neighbourhood. Local street signs still proclaim the republic's existence and "Stop Spadina Lane" is named to commemorate their victory.
