Torias Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 A Message to Emperor Thomas Atkinson-Asgiersson, Protector of the Empire, Captain, Lord Sovereign of the East Coast From: Robert Paradis, Mayor of Columbia & President of the Council of Mayors A recent census of the city of Columbia has revealed that 64.9% of the population is in favor of forming a nation in conjunction with the other cities in Missouri. In a meeting of the Council of Mayors last week, we discussed the possibility of independence. Most other mayors found the same- that a majority of the population supported independence. We concluded that, based on the will of the majority, Missouri should declare independence from the Empire of Pravus Ingruo as soon as is reasonable. We realize that this is a large step, and wish to work with the Empire to ensure our security, and yours, until a stable government is formed. -Robert Paradis, President of the Council of Mayors, Mayor of Columbia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
