OOC: Sorry for double topic but I think this goes in here:
IC: The Bermuda Islands, having acheived independence from the UK has begun purging British loyalists from its soil. Violence has erupted in Hamilton and around St. George Island as British are forced into the sea at gunpoint. Bermudans are enjoying their new found freedom and many islanders from the Caribbean have been coming in to enjoy high wages despite the threats of a British backlash. Bermudan militants and the Bermudan Revolutionary Army are seen firing their guns in the air on the beaches in celebration. British flags are being burned across the island and British merchant vessels in the harbor were raided and their cargo distributed amongst the rebel Army.
Hamilton hopes to stir enough trouble to get the Cayman Islands, Anguilla, The British Virgin Islands, and other possessions to begin violent revolts as well and tax the British military to the point where they do not respond. Already in debt and a recession, Britain will be hesitant to fight an expensive war.
