Copala City, 9th March 2021

Secret Copalan Spies Jenny and Britney

It was a nice sunny day in Copala City, a beautiful time to go to the beach and swim in the Copalan Caspain coast, into the cold waters and the breeze hitting your face. That was something many Copalans were for and actually did, but at the same time, some preferred to walk around the city. That was the case for Jenny and Britney, 2 Copalan women not very known in the city, just by those working in the Government. Today, they were spying a famous mafia leader who lived in Copala's Forest, Il Capo de la Fontaina. Britney and Jenny were besties, just like Mikaela Klienberg and Slavomíra Černá; and always worked together. Of course, they were discret but they loved to joke on the bad guys they arrested and tried to get information from.

Mafia leader Il Capo de la Fontaina

This time, the whole affair was different. After reaching Copala's Forest and simulating they were lost in front of Il Capo de la Fontaina, they arrested him by knocking him out, something these girls loved to do. "Oh girl, this job is super stressful, I mean, we should be payed higher because this is I-N-S-A-N-E" Said Jenny while driving to the Capitol's District. Britney didn't take a long time to answer her bestie: "I agree with you sis, we will ask Victoria about that. In exchange, we could dress some clothes she like and buy him a huge gift, like, something very big girl!"; she answered. Both got into the Capitol's District central police station, where they led Il Capo into the interrogation room. After a pretty nice chat with him and some very good action between them, the spies went to their boss' office.

The boss was someone tough and sometimes rude, but he was nice if you looked deep in his heart. Both women arrived and knocked the door, with the boss allowing them to enter his office. He was enjoying some lemon sweets, but Britney thought he didn't have taste. How could anyone like lemon sweets if lemon was so bitter. That was a lack of taste no one could forgive, nor forget. A conversation between the boss and the girls started:

Boss: Ms. Jenny, Ms. Britney, we need to talk.
J: OMG boss, are you going to raise our monthy wage finally? I've been waited for this to happen for ages! Both Jenny and Britney celebrated shouting loudly
Boss: NO NO NO, STOP IT! Both shut up No monthy wage raisings! I'm here to tell you about a new mission you need to do, for Copala, our saviour, and the Haaneans living at Bomballey.
B: Seriously? You want to send us to that den with the stinky and poor Haaneans? What about my Prada clothes boss? What about my Women's Secret ligerie or Jenny's? Isn't there anything better than that?
Boss: It's not about going to Bomballey you silly Britney- The boss is suddently interrupted by Jenny
J: NEVER DARE TO CALL MY BESTIE SILLY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ARRESTED FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE TO MY BESTIE, YOU SEXIST BOSS, NATIONALIST SCUM, RACIST WHITE RICH MAN!
Boss: Whatever. You need to rescue the Haaneans leader, Marine Marchand, and take her to Inquista, where she will be safe. At the moment, she is jailed at the Crown's Court, in Hampton City, so you'll need a lot of luck to enter that place. I thought you can do it, mostly because it's else you 2, Sebastian, Drew or that new couple called Mary and James. So I'd rather have you there.
B: Ok. Can we leave now? We're too busy with, you know, the risky job we are not well-payed for.
Boss: Yes, please. And the next time you come back, take a pill before entering my office. Thank you.

Both secret service workers left towards their flat, where they would start planning everything. The adventure to rescue Marine Marchand had just started, and it was going to be an exciting plan and a very interesting trip around Europe. Maybe they could get a nice view accompanied by 3 men in Ibiza? What about some Duchies food? They'll have to wait until Marchand was finally extracted.

Copala City Town Halls starts recycling plan and reveals Mt. Rushmore project

The new rubbish bins, inaugurated by Copala City's Mayor, Amal Maxwells

Recycling has finally arrived to the city where dreams come true. The Mayor, Amal Maxwells and its corporation, along with the Minister for Environment and Urbanism, Kelis, have inaugurated the new rubbish bins, located in Whiteford Gardens and already being installed around the city. The town hall chose the underground option, which prevents people from burning rubbish bins and bags in case riots happen, apart from smell and many other rubbish-related problems. The Mayor, Amal Maxwells, have said Copala City gives huge steps towards "a greener future with a Copalan Green Deal", which she will be proposing to the Government along with his friend and Minister for the Environment and Urbanism, Kelis.

Ms. Kelis has been asked about the rubbish bins as for the faces on them: "The faces are there to help elder people identify what bin their rubbish goes in. So, Bernie Sanders will be identified with plastic, Mark Johnson with paper, Nigel Farage with glass and Simon Bridges for organic and other kinds of rubbish." She has also revealed a new project for the city, which will take 3 months to do: "We will be investing a million emus on the Mt. Rushmore project. As it is now, Mt. Rushmore isn't visited by anyone and it's not a very valuable natural reserve. We will change the mountain by sculpting the faces of Jean-Claude Juncker, Mr. Coventry, who may rest in peace, Harriet Copala, Eilidh Whiteford and Dragan Trympov, along with the platation of trees and flowers. They will be, of course, invated to the inauguration event which is expected to take part in June."

BREAKING - George and Amal Maxwells RESIGN as First Minister and Mayor of Copala City

George and Amal Maxwells have resigned as First Minister and Mayor of Copala City, respectively. In a developing Press Conference, both have stated that the 'Copalan project needs new people to direct it and to walk towards a reconciliation, something they are not capable of doing'. This comes after the announcement of a summit between Reitzmag and Inquista concerning the Caspian coastal city, as well as the lack of recognisement from the Kingdom of Spain and Montenbourg. The people in Anastasia City, as well as the atmosphere, just turned into a kind of mixed feelings, where sadness takes an important role; but happiness at the same time because they can finally move forward to a new era.

In the press conference, George Maxwells has spoken about his mandate and the Copalans: 'I am proud to have served you, I am proud of everything I have done for my homeland and I am really proud of what we, the politicians and the people, have been able to do during these months.' It is, in fact, a shocking decision that nobody expected, not even Maxwells, whose tears could be used as a proof that behind this resignation, there is something else. Amal Maxwells, in the other hand, kept her feelings locked, as always; and thanked the Copalans for their behaviour: 'we have shown Europe that when people talk to each other and cooperate, we are able to do big things together'.

It is still unclear who will take over the Copalan Government, which has been disolved, and who will become the new mayor of the City. But something is clear: the Maxwells are back in Spain and have received a letter from the Public Prosecutor's office in which they have an appointment in court at Londres, where the couple have their house in Spain. Will they go to jail? We will have to wait to see that.

PEOPLE CHANT THE COPALAN ANTHEM ALL TOGETHER IN THE STREETS; LITTLE ESPAÑA SINGS PATRIOTIC SONG FROM A TV SERIES

Copalans have flod the streets to chant their national anthem

The Copalans have taken the city streets to sing their national anthem, as they have been recognised as an independent nation within a Nicoleizian Commonwealth by the Kingdom of Spain. This is live from Piazza Copalana, full of people as you can see:

"Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa;
Oh heroical Copalan people,
In a stoic effort once again,
You must fight, conquer and smash the vile betrayal to triumph,
valour is what gives you reason.
"Copala é nossa, we will shout!
It's the flesh and blood of our nation.
Without hesitating, to defend,
and fight until you win!
"Copala é nossa, we will shout!
It's the flesh and blood of our nation.
Without hesitating, to defend,
and fight until you win!
The invader we'll punish him with ancestral fearlessness,
by detaining, kicking out,
winning, shattering and shouting:
Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa,
it's ours, it's ours!
Copala is Icholasen!

Massive clapping after the anthem and now we connect with Little España where the people there are going to sing something else in Spanish too:

Translation:

We'll listen the name again,
of our homeland in all its splendour,
as the history which has carved us out,
provides us today a path next to the sun.

Now the sky divides in 2 as we go through,
with more glory, justice and determination,
Those past's shines will come back,
those who our ensign never betrayed.

We will march united as a nation,
all together building this state,
and in the unfavourable things that this travel bring us,
two stripes of our blood will escort the sun

We'll listen the name again,
of our homeland in all its splendour,
as the history which has carved us out,
provides us today a path next to the sun.

Now the sky divides in 2 as we go through,
with more glory, justice and determination,
Those past's shines will come back,
those who our ensign never betrayed.

We will march united as a nation,
all together building this state,
and in the unfavourable things that this travel bring us,
two stripes of our blood will escort the sun

Clapping have been heard in both cases and now people are getting their "Leave a Light on for Copala City" posters to demonstrate against this very unfair decision.

PART 3

Jenny and Britney were driving through the Reitzmic highways in the middle of the night. All was dark, scary but at the same time, nice; they were alone, nobody was driving near to them, which was great. But minutes later, some Ferrari got past them so fast they decided to follow it. When they reached the Ferrari, they shouted: "O-M-G, WHAT A NICE CAR YOU HAVE!" Said Britney, who was driving. The man looked at her and smiled, and Jenny, who was a little bit drunk, said: "YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH MY FRIEND, BECAUSE SHE IS FASTER THAN YOU, STUPID DRIVER!" Shouted Jenny. Suddenly, the Ferrari came to a stop, and Jenny managed to stop the car with Britney shouting. "A race. To Hampton City. Now. Remove your number plate, and let's race." Said the man. Britney managed to remove everything fast and then, both cars were ready.

3, 2, 1... The race started, with the Ferrari taking the lead. Their car, a Mercedes, managed to take the lead for a bit, but the Ferrari past them once again. They were getting closer to Hampton City, even if they still were far away. Suddenly, a police car was spotted by Britney, but the Ferrari kept going, without realising. The Ferrari driver honked his horn laughing at them, when he crashed with the police car. Jenny started to shout, Britney was trying to break on time, something she managed to do. When they stopped, the Ferrari exploded. A large fire column appeared, lighting the surroundings of the highway. Jenny wished the worse for the Ferrari driver while shouting, and Britney decided to get out of there as fast as possible. Some kilometres away, Britney, who was shocked, asked: "I-Is he dead, Jenny?" Jenny spoke, laughing, all thanks to have had some alcoholic drinks: "Of course he is, what a fu--ing legend he was! (She laughs) Did you see the fire column? It was amazing girl, like OMG, I would go back to see that Ferrari burn!"

The morning arrived, and the 2 Copalan spies had managed to do it, they were finally in Hampton City. They headed to an hotel, where they payed with cash and registered with fake National Identity Cards, names and other fake data stuff. They went to their room, where Jenny started to prepare everything while Britney had some sleep. After Britney wake up, they prepared the plan, which was perfectly prepared to rescue Marchand and have a nice time with Mark Johnson. Everything was ready, they just needed to wait until the evening...

First Minister Statement

Good morning citizens of Copala City.

During the last night, we the Copalan Government have received the news of our autonomy susoension until the 31st of March after a vote on the House of Representatives. This is something completely illegal when it comes to the Treaty of Buckingham, and by thus, I consider that suspension as null and hereby cancelled. And now he must be so angry with that words and with hearing what the truth is, he will need to hear the truth once again: Mr. Bridges, what is taking place in Bomballey is your fault; the Independence movement of Copala City, guess who made it worse: yeah, you did! You were the man which bombed us, then put boots on the ground in Eastern Haane killing many innocents, then you made this crisis happen and when things couldn't go worse, you said this: "I also authorize our police and military personnel to shoot any possible threats and violent oppositions to these policies." This is the vaguest and most disgusting statement I have ever heard on my life.

But Mr. Bridges isn't the only guilty person: The Haanean citizens of Bomballey are aswell, so is the Union of Syndicates. This crisis has come to a point in which we have had a massive issue with them. As the First Minister of the Copalan State, as a man who is known for the defence of freedom and individual rights, this needs to stop. The Copalan Government will be following the Reitzmic measures and everyone must enforce them. To those trying to make Bomballey go free shall cease on their try. The Copalan independence will come soon, not because we will aim for it in the short term but because Mr. Bridges doesn't stop giving us reasons to leave. We have what it's likely going to be an economical crisis cause of his measures, an Institutional crisis because of his aim ti dominate everyone and every piece of land in the European Union and a social crisis.

I could now declare independence, but I won't. These measures are the ones that I want to be respected and enforced,and I hope that for once, Mr. Bridges the stubborn man listen to "his citizens". If he doesn't grant the first one, I will personally take him, his government and Reitzmag to the European Court of Justice. If he jails me, he will proof my points. It's up to you, Simon Bridges, so listen up:

• Devolution of the Copalan Autonomy.
• Respect for people demonstrating on the streets.
• Retirement of the army.
• Haanean citizens shall cease on their try.
• There will be a curfew and some restrictions which don't include the army.

The Copalan State, the Copalans and myself won't be deterred. Thank you for your attention, and have a nice day.

Ministry for Home Affairs orders border check-ups with Reitzmag to avoid the 'Copalan Collapse'

The Copalan Police, doing border check-ups in one of the road which connects the city with Reitzmag

The Copalan Ministry for Home Affairs, led by Ms. Victoria Romanov has ordered to establish border check-ups with Reitzmag in order to save the Copalan economy from collapsing. In a joint press conference with the Minister for Finances and Economy, Angelo Gasparda and the Minister for Reitzmic - Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Houston Strachan, they have explained the reasons and the purpose of these border check-ups: "The Copalan economy, despite some very good reactions we have been observing since the creation of the city and the foreign investment, it's still fragile. The huge packs of sanctions passed on Reitzmag by our European colleagues are detrimental for our economy, but in spite of damage, we think those sanctions are reasonable as the Caspain needs to come closer and Copala City's Government thinks the islands should be destructed, so said my friend Ms. Romanov on the summit hosted by former Internal Affairs Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker."

Then the Minister for Home Affairs, Victoria Romanov, took the floor and spoke: "Some might think this is because we hate Reitzmag or we want to take independence right now, that's not the objective of these measures I have taken today along with the Copalan Government. We need to save our city, to tell foreign investors Copala City is a safe place to invest and we should take the opportunities given by foreign European countries to save our economy. There will be border check-ups with Reitzmag just applying to trucks. Trucks going to other countries from Copala City in which their entrance is not allowed won't be left into the city. If they managed to lie to the police, another check-up will take part at the port, this time avoiding and stopping the truck from getting into the boat or its freight being charged. When it comes to people, they will be let into the city but not allowed to take a flight to any of the countries enforcing a travel ban to Reitzmag."

Finally, the Minister for Reitzmic - Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has spoken: "We would like to thank the United Duchies for its help, as well as thanking those countries still letting us trade and travel to them despite being forced by Reitzmag to stay under their umbrella. Of course, many people in Copala City wish for a different future, I can include myself in that opinion, but now we need to save our economy before releasing ourselves from our neighbour. We will sort this out together, and we will get independence together. Thank you very much."

CCN EXCLUSIVE NEWS - BRIDGES SETS UP A CIRCUS IN THE CASPIAN SUMMIT

The words Bridges would have said in the summit

"Congratulations though for successfully bringing more chaos to your home country." or "I hope someday, violence would end in your country if your aggressive behaviour would be gone." That were many of the words Simon Bridges, accompanied by his delegation which then laugh at their boss words, said in front of the leaders from Pravoslaviya, United Duchies, North Diessen, Minister for Home Affairs, Victoria Romanov and the Internal Affairs Commissioner. Words with an unknown effect on the room, as Copala City News has been unable to get more details from this summit as of now. But, if something is certain, that's the evidence of this summit being one of the most tense ever seen in the European Union and the 1st one that would have been out of place since it kicked off.

The notes, made by Victoria Romanov, unveil some more news nobody knew: The Reitzmic Parliament is voting whether or not to pull out from the Treaty of Buckingham. According to Bridges, the Copalan Government would have "abused their generosity", which triggered anger from their Parlamentarians. After these announcements, there are many paceful demonstrations being programmed all around the city, with the motto: "For our freedom, for Copala". With no doubt, this Copalan nationalism is on the rise since the suspension of the autonomy, accordingly unjustified by the Reitzmic Government, or with really bad explanations. George Maxwells and his wife, the Mayor of Copala City, haven't waited for too long to react: "The Copalans have never surrendered despite the difficulties we have had, nor we will surrender. Let's demonstrate pacefully"; said Maxwells on an act he had today in the Capitol district. On the other hand, Amal Maxwells has posted a tweet.

But Bridges didn't stop there. He blamed the Internal Affairs Commissioner of bringing more chaos to her home country and oppressing the people of Northern Alkharya -even if she has nothing to do with that-; he said John Peter-Key and Metodi Pravoslav remind him of the recent sanctions they both started and asked, sarcasticly, if that was a great way to make friends; and at the same time he was smirking to Inge Peckan, the Diessan President, he said she was the woman whom refused diplomacy from Reitzmag and stated "I hope someday, violence would end in your country if your aggressive behaviour would be gone." The Romanov's notes say Bridges' words are out of place, something which could be thought by many on that room.

BREAKING - The Maxwells come back to Government duties

In a surprising change of their decision, George and Amal Maxwells have announced from their house in Ibiza that they will once again assume the Government duties of the Government in Exile of the 'Copalan Republic' and the Copala City Town Hall in Exile; after announcing their resign a few months ago. It is expected that both institutions meet in Menorca, Islas Baleares, Spain; where is is expected they will announce their support for the independence movement of Anastasia City, considered as the 'sister republic of Copala City'.

The Maxwells, whose trial in London ended up in them being declared not guilty, could have had an impact on their final decision to come back. In a short statement released by the President of the self-proclaimed Copalan Republic, George Maxwells has told the Copalans "to rise against the brutal Reitzmic assimilation and occupation, and to fight for a free Copala City far from the childish Government of Reitzmag, where Haaneans, Copalans and citizens from all around Europe can live freely and happy".

It is unknown if the Maxwells will either travel back to Reitzmag, where they could face an arrest; to Anastasia City to support their independence movement, or will stay in Spain with the rest of exiliated Copalans.

On the Public Disorder and Attacks in Anastasia City

The Anastasian Government is deeply concerned about the recent happenings in the city, which are similar to the ones that we saw in Copala City, and have been allegedly done by the same segment of the population that caused trouble in our past home. This Government offers its support to the Duchian Government in any and all measures they consider appropiate, nonetheless we believe blocking all entries and exits to the city will only worsen the situation and cause more casualties than the ones we have had already. As Duchess-Mayor of Anastasia City, I call the United Duchies to act in order to evacuate tourists and innocent people from this town as soon as possible, in order to save as many lives as we can.

MAXWELLS, FROM ANASTASIA CITY: WE WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE END, EVEN IN THE ECOJ IF NECESSARY, FOR OUR RIGHTS AND INDEPENDENCE

George Maxwells, today, at the presentation of the Independent Union for Anastasia City

George Maxwells has re-appeared today in Anastasia City, in the presentation of the new brother party of the Copalan Independent Union, the Independent Union for Anastasia City; a party that describes itself as regionalist and that will fight for the Anastasians and Copalans voices to be heard in the United Duchies and in Europe, to serve freedom to Copala City. But something has changed, maybe it is the atmosphere or how problems are now tackled; or the reduced appearances of the Prime Minister of the Copalan Republic (from ones' point of view) or the First Minister of Copala City (from anothers' point of view). Whatever it is, there is something wrong with this article, and that is having to write it being in exile in Anastasia City, while a foreign invasor oppresses any and all kind of forms of democracy which go against dictator Bridges' thoughts.

But if something makes George Maxwells and his wife, the Mayor of Copala City, Amal Maxwells; that is their attitude towards blaiming. In fact, both don't blame the Haaneans or any citizen of Copala City for what happened during the "Haanean revolution", but Reitzmag for not accomplishing a promise and trying to oppress and make everybody forget about Copala City and their majoritary requests. But of course, speaking of democracy in Reitzmag is speaking about military interventions, wild, savage patriotism and overall, no questioning to Supreme Leader Bridges, as well as a process of "asianization" nobody requested but you are socially pressured to take if you don't want to be regarded as someone against the regime. Reitzmag might be considered a democracy by many, but those who have suffered their most cruel side (like Istkalen or ourselves) know what that country is really about: silly politicians believing that leaving the European Union would be better with exaulted and radical people full of "patriotism".

Asked about the Copalan Independence in his public appearance, George Maxwells has been very clear: "Copala City will never surrender, no matter how many dictators, how many tanks or soldiers Simon Bridges wants to send; no matter how much he is wishing to arrest me. You know what happens when you are arrested, but you never know a thing about a Reitzmic prision. But the Copalans, those retained in New Saint Regina and those here, should be aware of something: we will fight until the end, even in the European Court of Justice if it is necessary, for our rights and independence." Of course, these words aren't void ones, they are a message to Europe and the countries that recognised the Copalan Republic, in the previous days of the European elections; that they should start thinking who to support: those who support extremist and totalitarian regimes or those who believe in democracy.

But meanwhile, the question is: how will the European Union and the region react to this? How will they get to solve a problem that hasn't had attention in months? That questions, dear reader, are up to you to answer them.

IPSOS POLL - COPALA CITY WOULD VOTE TO BECOME INDEPENDENT BY JUST 2 POINTS

IPSOS poll for the Copala Times, about the Copala City independence support

If Copala City voted today in an independence referendum, a 51% of the Copalans would vote to become an independent country from the Kingdom of Reitzmag, 2 percentual points over the choice to stay as a special part within Reitzmag, supported by a 49% of the Copalans, all Reitzmics. It has come to the attention of the IPSOS poll makers that a 1% of Reitzmics would go for the independence choice, after George and Amal Maxwells had to run away from the city and the autonomy suspension, which makes them say they want an independent Copala. Something that wouldn't have happened back in January. "I believed in an united Reitzmag, but the autonomy suspension in February and then the withdrawal from the Treaty of Buckingham without any reason, even if now they try to justify it with fake news and statements, are enough reasons for me to support an independent Copala City within a Nicoleizian Commonwealth or else as a sovereign republic"; says a Copalan citizen who is Reitzmic.

George Maxwells has commented the poll results with our correspondent in the United Duchies, where he is hiding from what he calls "the final phase of the Reitzmic oppression". Maxwells says that these results weren't unexpected and they aren't surprising to him: that's why we won the election with 4 seats and that's why we had to run away from Copala City, because Reitzmag knows that letting the Copalans vote means: an independence referendum in Copala City means independence, and that's why Simon Bridges was so worried about my party, or that's why they wanted to impose a Gobernor-General." Maxwells has also gone a step further on commenting the matter: "There are 2 countries that recognise Copala City as part of a Nicoleizian Commonwealth while declaring us independent from Reitzmag, and the UNSR applauded the Reitzmics' decision, so that tells you how things worked when it comes to damaging the real Icholasen while the false one is enjoying such a decision."

Looking towards the future, a referendum concerning the Copalan independence seems imposible, but demonstrations on the streets are a daily routine at the city where dreams come true. Meanwhile, others just send letters to Harriet Copala asking her for another intervention, this time to release them from their pain. The hope is now put on the Commission elections, to have pro-independence candidates at the Commission and trying to achieve a referendum, a once in a lifetime chance. But, will that work for the people of Copala City? A month left to see if it does.

Statement - On the Reitzmag's PM Trickery Words of last month

As the Prime Minister of Copala City in exile, I have to condemn the trickery words of the Reitzmic Prime Minister, Simon Bridges, in which he said anti-terrorist measures would be risen the 31st of March 2021. 7 days later, Reitzmag is still under those measures, with the Copalan autonomy being suspended not just because of the massive injustice against the Copalans by a withdrawal from the Treaty, but still suspending their autonomy and going against other signed documents. Simon Bridges proofs, once again, he is unable to accomplish many of the things he signs.

George Maxwells
Prime Minister of Copala City in Exile

Statement from George Maxwells, First Minister of Copala City, from the United Duchies

Good afternoon my fellow Copalans.

Today, we can say it loud and clear: the Kingdom of Reitzmag is an Imperialist, liar and traitor country. As of today, they can no longer say they are doing the best for Copala City, they can no longer say they are democratical and they can no longer say Simon Bridges is the greatest ever Prime Minister in Europe, because that's all a handful of lies. Simon Bridges is a traitor, a liar and a Prime Minister that keeps trying to turn Reitzmag into his personalised dictatorship, silencing those against his regime and suspending the democratical rights of a million Copalans who, like me, wanted a better future for our nation.

And today, I can say we are a nation, because the Kingdom of Spain has recognised us as such and millions of Europeans are supporting our independence every day. Copala City might be gone according to Reitzmag, but it is not according to many people in the European Union. Nofoaga, North Diessen, United Duchies or Montenbourg, these are just a few examples of countries which have condemned Reitzmag's attitudes. This is what Reitznag didn't want to see but it's happening in the end, and that's pretty simple: they were scared of having a different opinion other than Bridges' and they pull out.

Copalans, we shall fight peacefully, we shall rise against the oppresor, peacefully. We will soon achieve our goal, a referendum in which we will vote YES to be independent from the worst country in Europe. We have had enough of this story. God save Copala City and may God protects us from Reitzmag and lead us to our independence dream!

"I think I'm a little bit late, but I think telling the Duchies what they should or shouldn't do with their canal is very bad. We should not control, nor take part on the decision making about who is allowed or not allowed into the canal, same with the Military ships. Being concerned about an attack is ridicolous and silly, but we have been seeing this for ages so I don't know why we expected this to be diferent. But I can cope with it if everyone agrees, so I give my go ahead to the Treaty."
