This official statement comes from the Office of Mayor Citylion of Mt Augusta, and from The Government in Exile of Mt Augusta – provided free travel, refuge, and political asylum by the Government of Varathia, the Chancellor of Dionysia, and the Government of TCHAD on the Thomas Islands.

Good afternoon. Over the past number of days, Robokaiser and his agents have begun systematically destroying the Mount Augusta bastion grid, and snitch network. Make no mistake, Robokaiser is destroying private property.

Nothing in the Constitution of Mt Augusta gives him the right or privilege to destroy private property. Robokaiser incorrectly claims that he is the Mayor of Mt Augusta. Even if he was Mayor of Mt Augusta (and he is not), he would not be entitled to these private properties. Even if he had the power to use the Mayoral Pardon (and he does not) he would be unable to issue a pardon for himself because it would violate the Bill of Rights, specifically, the protection of property.

V. Neither the State nor its representatives shall under any circumstance seize the property of Augustan residents except through means available to all private individuals.

As the owner of these groups, I fostered a network of infrastructure that had openly striven to add all citizens.

His actions are immensely disappointing. Robokaiser was provided with moderator rank on all of the relevant groups, a rank which he continues to hold. I allowed Robokaiser to have this rank because I wanted to ensure that while the election results were sorted out in court, all Augustans would continue to benefit from uninterrupted snitch and bastion services.

Five days ago, I reached out to Robokaiser in my direct messages with this message where I explained that I was committed to ensuring the stability of our groups, among other things. The fact that Mister Robokaiser has now called me a quote “dick” for ‘wasting his time’ because I held the groups “hostage” is unfortunate. The groups were not held hostage, there were held privately. Under private management, I told Robokaiser I would work with him until the election crisis was sorted out in court, something which I was not required by law to do.

Robokaiser is not Mayor, and Robokaiser doesn't act like he is. The Mayor of Mt Augusta is a national figurehead first and foremost. Our Constitution affords the Government no means of tax collection, no means of government property seizure, and no monopoly on a police or military. Our Constitution as it is written is clear – Mount Augusta is a decentralized city.

It is immensely disappointing to see Robokaiser exploit the unclear election results to engage in acts that contradict the very position he claims to hold, and the very ideals which Mt Augusta affords its people.

Thank you all, and god bless Mt Augusta.
