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.

The Leave a Light On Movement: What is it and what does it pretend?

Demonstration related with the Leave a Light On for Copala City movement

Copala City aims for independence from Reitzmag and being else a part of a subject to be created Nicoleizian Commonwealth or else, being completely independent from Icholasen and Reitzmag, but these things aren't news for anybody who has been following the Copalan pro-independence movement, but for those who are starting to hear about it, all of these things are new for them. This is the reason why we want to explain you, fellow reader, all the things related with the Copalan "Leave a Light On for Copala City" movement and its origins. First of all, the Copalan Independence Union (CIU -governing party in Copala City in a 4 parties-wide coalition-) was the first one to bring the matter onto the table, and their victory in both Mayoral and General election were the key to take their pro-independence ideas and policies to the Government.

Since they started their adventure in the Government, the Copalan Independence Union and several parties with varied ideologies, the independence movement supporters have rised. According to the last poll, which was released on January 24th, a 55% of the Copalan Population support being independent, with a 19% having no opinion and a 26% opposing to it. From that 55%, a 84% would like to be under a "Nicoleizian Commonwealth" and a 12% would rather be fully independent. This has made people take the streets and demontrate against what they call the "Reitzmic Oppression", a name that has been more heard as the Kingdom of Reitzmag tried to suspend the Autonomy of the city, something they say they have "managed to do" but the Copalan Government deny. Also, the Bomballey incident, solved by the Copalan Government, has made the Reitzmic Government look worse to the eyes of the Copalans, what means support for independence might have increased.

In the aftermath of a new package of sanctions coming when April 1st arrives, Copala City struggles to carry on without any economical aid. The economy, still to develop as the Government needs investors; is not wealthy, and the current Reitzmic Government actions scare and make investors run away. The "Leave a Light On Movement" is a response to that: they are trying to achieve independence with foreign aid, with a lot of economical investors coming to rescue Copala City once they have their wished freedom. And they might have got some eyes on the project: According to the latest news, enterprises from the United Duchies and Spain, along with other countries, might be up to rescue Copala City from backruptcy. Some even try to reach out Harriett Copala, asking her on Instagram to come and rescue the city from the Reitzmic dungeon. And also, at the same time, the LLOM tries to get Europe's eyes on them, expressing their love for the EU and trying to become the first independent country to join the European Union after having independence from another.

Is the project possible? Our economical advisor says it's a risky way to achieve your purposes, but it could be possible if millions and millions were invested until the Copalan Economy gave some signs to be alive. "The benefits could be higher than the losts when Copala City gets independence"; says our Economical Advisor. Others say this is not right, and deny everything our economical advisos says. Whatever it is, there will be no independence if Maxwells doesn't dare to start the process, and to actually do that, he will need to travel to some of the most powerful countries in Europe in the search of support. Will he be able to get it? The time will answer that question.

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.

Martin Stewarts, writing this piece in exile, in Anastasia City.

Victoria Romanov smiled while Simon Bridges was rating. In fact, she felt bad for Simon, not because of the great person he was, that was a lost game, but because of his reputation all around Europe. She noted Bridges comments and then wrote a text message with all the content which was sent to George Maxwells, maybe he could give those words some use, more than she could. When John Peter-Key ended his short speech, she clapped the Reitmic delegation and then Simon Bridges for a minute or so, smiling. She wasn't angry, but she was thinking on what Simon could be thinking on: "Maybe he wants to drop the Krexit bomb, maybe he wants another meeting to fail... What do you really want, Bridges?", she thought at the same time she clapped and smiled. She finally spoke:

"What a nice speech Mr. Bridges, congratulations... because you would have won a roast battle if this was one. But, sadly for you and the delegates on the room which I request the Internal Affairs Commissioner kicks out, as our delegates are staying outside, this is not a roast battle, but more of a serious issue. I have been studying a bit how Reitzmic commerce works and I've realised they are using risky ways, such as the Drommund Kaas railway or the rail connection with Belarum, maybe that's why you think this is pointless. But, at the same time, I would like to remember you about the recently passed European Commission Sanctioning Powers Act 2021, which could put just not Reitzmag, but Copala City, in a serious economical issue, and I think none of us want that. And even if Copala City, as an autonomous territory which was leased to the Nicolezians is here today as it wants its voice to be heard in Europe and in the Caspian Council, previous admission by the proposed institution; we also need to stop trying to set up a circus on the room, Simon. Please, let's not make the same mistakes again.

Anyway, I think you won't hear any of us on the room, maybe because you want to be the one that wins this kind of battle just because the islands were built near Drommund Kasas and you think you are the Caspian's strongest country, something which I'm afraid to tell you are not. Mr. Brodges, I won't aim for independence on this summit, I have the Copala City Assembly to aim for it, but I want to solve a crisis which is damaging my territory, and also yours. We need to avoid more sanctions, and we need this crisis to be solved by the conditions that former Internal Affairs Commissioner Juncker and now Mr. Pravoslav proposed. That's the best way we can sort these things out, but I'm sure the new Internal Affairs Commissioner will like to release a new proposal which I'm expecting to see. Let's give us all a chance and, for once, let's be kind to eachother."

The First Minister of Copala City and the Mayor of Copala City

George Maxwells: "We're having an Independence Referendum concerning Reitzmag the 24th January

George Maxwells, the First Minister of Copala City, has confirmed one of his promises this morning, along with the Copala City Mayor, Amal Maxwells: "Copala City will be having an Independence Referendum on Sunday, the 24th January 2021." The crowd there applauded after those words. According to Maxwells, the choice has been taken "by the whole cabinet and with no votes against it, which means this bill will be taken to the Assembly today." The debate has started just 2 hours ago, and no vote will take place until tomorrow, when the last group is expected to intervene in the session.

Amal Maxwells then answered a question concerning the referendum: "This is the right choice, and we don't care of what Reitzmag says about this, we are doing it. Right now, Reitzmag is not only an irresponsible country that made us nearly suffer another war with their islands in the Caspian, which by the way I endorse countries to do whatever they want with them on their waters, but also ammended a treaty with no consent from the other counterparts. Therefore, we have no Governor-General, and that means we are no longer under the supervision of anybody who believes he has enough power to control the Assembly resolutions."

It's still unknown which effects will this cause on the European Union countries, but if something seems to be clear, that's the date. Note on your calendars the 24th January, which until then, will be known as the Referendum Day,

"I agree, Mr. Pravoslav, we should wait until Simon speaks up. Ms Peckan, I think we all aim for this negociation to succeed, but that cannot happen with the Copalan Government being pulled out of it. In our last meeting we already accepted being accepted subject to a prior voting in the Caspian Sea Authority, because Mr. Brdges didn't want to see us as a full member from the very beginning. But the new conditions you are proposing are unacceptable for us, and I completely agree with the words said by the Internal Affairs Commissioner, we shouldn't be isolated from our neighbours." Said Victoria Romanov. Then, she gave a look at the Copalan news and saw how Bridges' words were leaked. The plan was working, wasn't it?

"We are, Ms, Birdane. But we would rather avoid to have the European Council deciding about these islands. This shall remain as an affair between Caspian countries and the European Commission, so we reject the proposed amendment by the United Duchies." Said Victoria Romanov.

Statement concerning the Independence Referendum

The Copala City Government and the Mayor of Copala City wish to inform the Copalans and anyone interested on the Independence Referendum about the following:

• This referendum won't decide the future of Copala City, but it's a poll to get information about the independence support in our territory.
• Votes will be sent through a webpage, in which every citizen wishing to vote will enter through an unique link.
