Authors' Note:

nachbarlich (NAKH-bahr-likh): neighborly 

l'après-guerre (la-preh-GAYR): period immediately after the Second World War in France, approximately 1945-1948

Cannes (KAN): French town on the Côte d'Azur, famous for its luxury hotels and villas, and for its international film festival

Worms (VORMZ): German town (sometimes pronounced by anglophones as WUHRMZ) of about the same size as Cannes and Limerick, famed for its production of liebfraumilch 

Authors' Note: The Italo-Turkish War, also known as the Turco-Italian War, 1911–1912, was among the neo-colonial adventures pushed by the European powers (Britain, France, Italy, etc.) who took advantage of the decline of Ottoman Turkey just before the outbreak of the First World War. The territories conquered by the Italians (most of current-day Libya and also the Dodecanese islands in the Aegean Sea) remained under their control through the Second World War, with Mussolini's National Fascist party in power in the Kingdom of Italy for most of this period (1922–1943).

The treaty to end the conflict was named after the resort facility in Lausanne, Switzerland at which it was signed by the belligerents, becoming known as the Treaty of Ouchy (oo-SHEE).

SUBMARINE WARFARE - didactic material

Charleston, South Carolina played a disproportionate role in the development and deployment of submarines in warfare.

NATIONAL (and multinational) Verse

CURRENT CONTENTS:
Armenia

Greenland

Haiti

la Francophonie

Iceland

Panama (Canal Zone)

Canada (3 verses, a 'brief saga')

France (3 verses, a 'brief saga')

America (USA - 3 verses, a 'brief saga') 

Authors' Note:

neurasthenia: obsolete term from psychiatry, implying general debility attributed to exhaustion of the nervous system, as discussed here

Armenia, the first country in the world to adopt Christianity, has had disputes with its neighbors for most of its existence. The revered Mt. Ararat is now located geopolitically in Turkey, but is still considered a national symbol of Armenia, and dominates the view from the Armenian capital of Yerevan. Armenia's borders to the east and west currently remain closed owing to hostile relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey.

Authors' Note: This verse, along with Canal Zone (to follow) and fifty-first (preceding) constitutes a trilogy of diplomatic nonsense.

As of 2024, Greenland, with population of 56,000, is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Authors' Note: The plight of Haiti, and some of its earlier history, are described in an OEDILF verse by speedysnail  

Authors' Note: Late in 2024, the incumbent US president turned his attention from Canada, a friendly neighbour that he had threatened with massive tariffs, dangling the possibility of a sort of "Anschluss".

His sudden announcement that "excessive" shipping fees across the Panama Canal were a matter of vital national US interest was accompanied by threats to retake control of the Canal Zone, a region that had been under sole Panamanian control since 1979.

The author of the above poem in his prior work acclaim had discussed the role of President Theodore Roosevelt (T.R.) in construction of the Panama Canal, therein revealing the neo-palindrome A man, a plan, if final — Panama.
