Reports have come in that the Territorial Government Of Folster has unilaterally declared its full independence from the Cimbrian Confederation as the National Republic Of Folster, currently under the National Reclamation Government. Ny Colradian, Odensian, Cimbrian, and Some Starhawk Pact Forces have been apparently caught off guard as Folsterian Militia and Turncoat Military Units seize armories all around the Territory. The Starhawk Pact Council has urged other states to not recognize this new Separatist government in Folster.
Folsterian Resistance Leader Johan Hazsen, formerly of the Cimbrian National Republic of the CCW, and a member of the Territorial Government has come and said the following:
“For far too long, we Hazle People in Folster have been oppressed by the Catzyan Cimbrians and the Barelandic Savages for simply existing. We have been under foreign occupation for nearly forty years, all while our natural resources are stolen and our children brainwashed into being something their not. I call upon the great nations of the world to not support the Starhawk Pact, we are simply fighting for our freedom, and some members of a certain Nationalist Government in Exile* just next door has already offered aid in our fight.”

The drama over the confirmation of the Crown Prince continues. Republican lawmakers have motioned for Prince Paul to be summoned by both houses of Congress for a hearing to “inquire on his capability and personal integrity”. Non-republican legislators have so far blocked this proposal, fearing the republicans are eager to turn such an event into a political spectacle and opposing the hearing on principle, believing the monarchy should be above political squabbles. “When we installed a monarchical system, we’d believed they would be spared from political intrigue according to convention”, a prominent non-republican lawmaker commented, “To turn this institution into a partisan battleground will do no good. We refuse to give troublemakers among our ranks a chance to make mountains out of an anthill”.

Conservative parliamentary speaker, Triton of Atlantis, has criticised the minister’s statement on Stream:
“While I sympathise with the Kliegmean approach, this statement shows once again how unreliable and spineless the coalition actually is. Always preaching their tolerance and values to all voters, but no will to fight for them.”
