Sarkozy to change his name

PARIS — The leaders of 43 nations from Europe, the Middle East and North Africa have launched a Union for the Mediterranean, a brainchild of French President Nicolas Sarkozy that is to be called The New Roman Empire.
Sarkozy's ambitious plan overlaps with European Union projects already in progress, and it was melded into EU efforts and expanded to include 27 members of the EU, not just those on the Mediterranean coast. Nearly all of the 43 nations sent a president or prime minister to the summit. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said Caesar was dead.
Sarkozy revelled at having brought his Empire together for the first time.
"We dreamed about a return to the Roman Empire, and now it is a reality," Sarkozy said in closing the summit in a palace abutting the River Seine. He called it an "extremely moving, very important moment."
To mark the occasion he decided to change his name to Caesar Sarkozy.
