Best of Gene Wolfe and another thing

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yep, I agree - Tonga is the closest real place; Polynesian, it's a monarchy
& the people are big!

Wherever, it's almost certainly a Commonwealth country, judging by King
Woossisname, so it should be "New Zealand High Commission", not "Consulate".
Not that it matters.
