OOC: I tried posting a similar intro a couple weeks ago but forum issues kept me from following up, so I decided to declare my independence at my current population of about 112 million.

Brayton, Tolvan
Douglas Shaw stood on a bluff overlooking Brayton Harbor and watched as the HMS Penshire sailed out into the open ocean. The British LPD carried the last of the British garrison and their equipment and was returning to Britain at long last.
Shaw looked up as he felt a presence at his side. He smiles as the man spoke. "I never thought I'd live to see the day the fucking Brits went home with their tails between their legs."
Andrew Hayden was never one to mince his words, he'd spent the last three years fighting the British, first as a guerilla commander in Malkar Province and later commanding a battalion of troops in open revolt against Tolvan's former colonial masters.
"Have Victor send the message at once, it's our time now old friend." With that Shaw walked back to his grey Range Rover, recently acquired courtesy of the former British Ambassador. The well armed bodyguards climbed into their own vehicles and the small convoy headed towards the city where Shaw was set to meet with other key leaders of the new Provisional Government.
***Official Communique***
It is with great pleasure that I announce that the nation of Tolvan has achieved independence from the rule of Great Britain. For nearly 200 years we have toiled under the oppresion and exploitation of British rule, but no longer.
Today in a 8 to 1 decision the Provisional Council has voted to appoint Douglas Shaw the President of the newly formed Commonwealth of Tolvan.
President Shaw welcomes foreign investment in our great nation as we pride ourselves on maintaning a very business friendly enviroment. However, be warned we will not tolerate the exploitation of out land or our people.
We wish to establish diplomatic, economic, and military ties with any nation that desires us as an ally. President Shaw will gladly recieve envoys from interested nations here in our capital of Brayton.
