This is the Will of Bletheropolis
In the event that the nation of Bletheropolis should cease to exist, we acknowledge that we will not have further use of our assets in the 10000 Islands.
Therefore we, the High Council of Bletheropolis, headed by the Chief Goddess of Bletheropolis, do hereby decree that the following actions should be executed in order to carry out this will as we decree in this will:
The Bletherer Trust will be created/incorporated to hold all the assets currently held by Bletheropolis, namely:
We would like the Trust's assets to be reinvested wisely & aggressively by a body appointed by the board's members, so that the trust may continue to benefit the 10000 Islands in perpetuity.
We nominate Minna Caroline, Twobagger, Ambassadoratum, and Oscar Wilde/ATT to the board of trustees, and approve of anyone else whom they nominate to the board, subject to a limit of 8 members. Board members should be paid a salary of 150 tacos yearly. We do insist though, that creamz be served at board meetings in fond memory of Bletheropolis.
The Intent of the Bletherer Trust is to encourage new nations in the 10000 Islands to sink roots in these lovely islands, and contribute to the continued "life" of this region.
In memory of our favourite activity on Taco Island, we would like the board to pay the succeeding Warden of the Taco Island Jail a salary of 500 tacos every year, provided he/she does a good job of regularly a) keeping the thread interesting, b) keeping the inmates creatively tortured, c) policing Taco Island and throwing miscreants into Jail.
Bad wardens (i.e. those ne'er-do-wells who let the thread lapse) should be ferried to some deserted island and assisted into concrete shoes, before they are thrown into the sea off the coast of Minna Caroline. we understand that there are underfed sea creatures there...
The board is also free to initiate schemes funded with the assets of the trust to a)make more Tacos for the trust, b) encourage newbies, c)encourage immigration to the 10000 islands.
That is all.
The 10000 islands will live fondly in our memory while some record or scion of Bletheropolis still persists somewhere, for this is where we sojourned happily for a period in the history of Bletheropolis, and all Bletherers know that happy memories are more precious than Gold or Jewels.

The Bletherer Trust will be created/incorporated to hold all the assets currently held by Bletheropolis, namely:
- All the Tacos currently in our possession
- All our shares in the 10KI Investment Corporation
- All our Immigration shares
- All our shares in 10KI Gambling Corp, XKI Press Corps & XKI Lottery
- Our map items will be sold and the proceeds held by the Bletherer Trust
We would like the Trust's assets to be reinvested wisely & aggressively by a body appointed by the board's members, so that the trust may continue to benefit the 10000 Islands in perpetuity.

The Intent of the Bletherer Trust is to encourage new nations in the 10000 Islands to sink roots in these lovely islands, and contribute to the continued "life" of this region.
- To achieve that goal, the trust will assist new nations in building their capital by funding half the cost of their capital. New nations who wish to obtain this assistance must apply to the board of trustees within 2 calendar weeks from the date that they meet the criteria to be included on the XKI map. the trust will fund 2 new nations every calendar year.
- Also, the corps of Newbie buddies headed by the Minister of Education will be provided a yearly retainer each of 500 tacos, to reward them for helping new nations get settled in XKI, and also (hopefully) keep their passion (for helping newbies) alive.
