Announcement: This Blog Has Nothing to Do with Fake Countries

Apparently one of the many hobbies people pursue together on the Internet is make up fake countries with fake histories. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the similarity of the name to Anthony Hope's famous "Ruritania" and all that has been associated with it (and to "Raritan," a river, bay and borough in northeastern New Jersey within the New York Tri-State Area) "Raritania" seems a popular choice of name for such countries, profiles of at least two of them cropping up high in the search rankings when I type in this blog's name.

I hereby announce as officially as anything can be announced here that this blog, which was established in and has been continually operating since 2008, has no connection whatsoever with any of those imaginary countries. It is simply the personal blog of an individual, its owner and sole writer--myself.
