MARISLIA TO LEAVE GREAT MORSTAYBISHLIA
Great Morstaybishlia NOT SO GREAT as the provinces of Eastern Caltharus, also ‘Marislia’ voted tonight for their INDEPENDENCE.
50.005 percent voted for independence, and 49.995 percent voted to remain. Polling stations through the day were double, triple and quadrouple checking their results, leading to a delay of over six hours. It came right down to the wire, but Romilda von Anzitter’s MARIP has already begun celebrating with champagne in Fort Nocturne on this historical night, a night that conveys a strong message to the world that independence is achievable. But to others, allies of Morstaybishlia, is casts a very dangerous precedent. With this result, who knows what Morstaybishlia’s allies might think, or how companies might act. The Karmer Administration has sponsored this referendum as legitimate and has ushered the country’s allies to support ‘any decision the people decide’.
With a voter turnout of 75.4 percent, over 21.3 million people turned up at polling stations or via online votecast. OF THAT, a difference of JUST TWO THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE PEOPLE (2,131) changed the fate of Morstaybishlia tomorrow. Margins so close that nobody could predict. 50.005 percent voted in favour, including Romilda von Anzitter, who says this:
“And so it is settled. The people have voted! What a wonderful night, what a wonderful night! The stars do shine on those who make wishes! Morstaybishlia today, Marislia tomorrow!”
Protests have begun across the cities of Kastell Nozvezh, Rysdu and Kêrmell; cities that had a remain turnouts of at least 83.8 percent.
