This seems to me to be an absurdity, considering the blatantly insular
nature of the Amazons.

Still, this _is_ China we're talking about. Considering its overall
standard of living and technology level, it would be a Third World Contry
if it weren't for the fact that it had nuclear weapons. (Making it a Second
World Country. The old Soviet Union was the same way.)

	Actually I misspoke, I doubt the Joketsuzoku have enough political
pull to send anyone overseas in a remotely ambassadorial role (I think
they and Beijing have an unspoken policy of politely ignoring each other).
	I suppose evangelist or missionary would be a better term than
embassary for what I had in mind.
