Should we put forward reasons to why either of us should be chosen, and what language we bring with us etc?

Ladies first, Predrag... Nah, just kidding, I'll go... If you don't know me already, where have you been? I'm Craitman, and I am the creator of Craitish, which, luckily for you guys, could be Bobalania's second official language should you vote me in as Minister of Linguistics. As you may already know, Craitland and Bobalania are close friends, with both nations' leaders being active citizens on each other's forum. I think giving me this position, and allowing Craitish to be used on a larger scale will increase our friendship greatly. But, don't be scared... Craitish isn't the most difficult language to learn, granted you can speak English to a decent degree. A lot of the vocabulary is the same or very similar, and, making it even easier, almost every Craitish verb is regular, so there'll be no worrying about how to say something the right way. I believe that Craitish would also be a logical addition to Bobalania, not only for the fact that we could be extremely close neighbouring Micrasian nations in the near future, but as the majority of Bobalanians are English, the language wouldn't seem out-of-place with its obvious English origins.

Thus my dear Craitman it's my turn ;D Apiya and Bobalania have been allies for a long time and this would be a big step between our two micronations. If elected a minister of linguistics for this great nation, The Apiyan Language will become the official language of Bobalania. A language with romance, germanic and slavic roots will attract citizens from whole europe instead just from english speaking macro and micronations. The Apiyan grammar is very simple and is mostly similar to the english and german grammar. The apiyan grammar is also considered by some as a mix from the best qualities from the european languages. It is based only on adding suffixes and prefixes which makes it powerful and yet easy. The pronunciation is simple as for one letter is one sound with no exceptions, and if one finds the standard pronunciation hard, one could browse through the three apiyan dialects which are intended to make the reading and pronunciation easier and friendly to their local language.

But, Predrag, are people from all over Europe part of Bobalania already, and will they become as such just because of a language which is slightly similar to theirs (along with others) is used here?
