I created Icenia on May 7,2015. For two months I was the only citizen of the town, working to make it something that represented myself. I wanted to make something to be proud of, and when we got our independence it was an amazing moment in time. Look, I realize that I am not the one making the final decisions on things anymore-maybe that's for the best, but to take away something that feels like an identity really hurts me and makes me feel as if I was stabbed in the back- not just by the people putting the bill forth but my friends in Volterra and other people I trusted with running Icenia. Now, that is going away. We are becoming what we were when we were with Kasierin-an autonomous region. There's no victorian empire, there's no new nation being formed. we simply occupy 1/6 of the Volterran senate and are no longer Icenian. I said I would die with my city, and I am strongly considering doing that right now. I feel as if all the time and effort I've put into making a nation is now gone. I know the vast majority of you support brit in this, but you guys don't have the personal connection to the town that I do. I was never asked about this, I was never consulted. I was simply navigated around and now I'm losing what I loved the most on this server. I'm fine with being "mayor" of my town (thanks for the Intis treatment Brit, whats next?) but it means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I have no say, I have nothing left but a city that everyone calls shit. Thanks. From the bottom of my heart, for doing this. I will consider what my next step will be, I accept the outcome regardless.
