Crisis over new Fulovit Flag

12-12-2003, 02:11
The new flag of The USSF was released today, to a roaring crowd of nearly 20,000 in Liberation Square in the center of Huerstown today. The crowd quickly turned into a riot. The previous flag, a red diagonal cross on a white background, was mixed with the First Flag of the State. The FFS was rejected by the mobs during the College Rebellion because the government wanted no more of "the cheat", an animal often found frolicking around. The cheat has been secretly been returned from near-extinction by pro-cheat groups, and legislation is being passed right now that will return the cheat to the National Animal location. The Government wanted to represent this in the new flag.

Chancellor Springfield addressed the crowed before the unveiling.
"My people, we have worked very hard to keep this country alive and now there are nearly 250 million people here. When John Margo first led that farmers' revolution many years ago, we did not imagine our nation to grow so rapidly and to such an extent. But it has. Now, we have dealt with the return of 'the cheat'. With the return of the cheat, we must accept it back, with all of the praise and charity that occurred during the revolution." Ath this moment the crowd began to scream at how the Chancellor was addressing the cheat. They were kept under control by paramilitary forces there to keep order and to prevent from enemy attack in this time of war (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98798). Then the flag was unveiled.

The crowd went wild, the cheat inside the white spaces was taken as if it was a stain on Fulovit's purity. The Cheat was considered too much of a burden to bear before, but now there were four upon their own flag. This was too much. When the crowd got violent, the guards opened fire. Fourteen people were killed and nearly forty were wounded. The wounded are all in fair or better condition at the moment and are expected to make a recovery. Several other protests have occurred throughout the nation resulting in an additional deat and ten more wounded in similar condition. We are asking all national leaders to aid us with words to please our people. We need to quell this without force. We wish no repeat of the College Rebellion or the Pirate Wars.
