Briarsfield Announces Independence!

Today James Delbayte was elected interim President of Shmur, and we are outraged. For those who don't know, Briarsfield is one of Shmur's largest cities and during the anarchy period we did a good job of running ourselves in a civil manner and we became the strongest independent community in the nation. Now this new congress has vetoed our representative's demands for more local government power. This new central government can't take away our powers. We are going to continue running ourselves as we always have. Today we announce our independence from Shmur. Their new government can do whatever they want, but we will not join them. Briarsfield is now an independent nation.

We do not recognize your rogue community, however we don't want to fight so have it your way. Do as you wish, but rest assured....you will be reunited with the rest of the nation someday.

Narshon, UN delegate for The Safalran Lands, says "Though concerned with the lack of civil rights in Briarsfield, we expect this situation to soon improve given the political climate. Shmur can learn much from the political freedoms the citizens of Briarsfield enjoy. We therefore recognise Briarsfield's claim to independence."
