Limited Time Offer! Act Soon! Best Locations Are Going Fast!
True and Loyal Frenchmen and Frenchwomen! Tired of the price of bread always rising? Sick of sending your sons off to fight in someone else's war? Bored with the daily guillotine session by the hotel de ville? Well, we here at Britannica Travel have a gem of an offer for you!
Surinam!
That's right, Surinam. Located in the temperate equatorial belt of South America, it's a heaven, oops, I mean haven for those French citizens still loyal to their rightful monarchy. Not as flood-prone as Louisiana, not as damn cold as Lower Canada, and certainly better for your health than Port au Prince, it's a little bit of France right in the Western Hemisphere.
We're accepting bookings on our regular packet ships for all settlers willing to come. We'll even pick you up in the harbour of Brest, if you can sneak by the garrison of two blind veterans and their three-legged dog!
Don't miss this opportunity for peaceful living at its best!
Britannica Travel Slashes Prices On Surinam Properties
Extra Extra Extra!
Britannica Travel has had to slash prices on lots in formerly-French Surinam. Sadly, the political situation in France itself has changed so that people now do not want to leave. They see a bright shining star on the eastern horizon that foretells of a rosy (or fleur-de-lys-ey?) future for all Frenchmen and Frenchwomen, as the Bourbons begin to regain their natural predominance in that war-ravaged land.
No more are emigrees flooding to our docks, with all their belongings in a sack tied to a stick. They are staying to see the glory of the French King restored to the throne.
And so...
Surinam lots! Only £5 per acre!
Please buy, we've invested heavily! We do not want to see the inside of a debtor's gaol, or worse still, be transported to Austria!
Austria etc
Do they still have those Turksmania devils south of Austria do you think? Make a nice trophy - what.

I believe they took a wrong turn at Albuquerque...
Question
Does this price apply to non-Frenchmen?

Come One, Come All, to Lovely Surinam!
The offer can now be extended to non-French citizens who need a new home. We hear that there are many displaced peoples roaming around the German states not knowing which way to turn, and not knowing friend from foe. Well, everybody can be your friend in Surinam!
In related real estate news, the British government has recently purchased our lots on St. Helena for some reason, so those are now off the market.
I must leave my response at that, as my assistant is calling my attention to some new arrivals: "The ship, boss, the ship!"
