Title: Isinorian Faithful Succeed in Referendum to Defy Federation
In a stunning turn of events sending ripples through the Federation, the Republic Party of Anotchadiae has suffered a crushing defeat at the polls in recent days, with adherents of the Chapter of Isinor, a local religious organization, obtaining overwhelming control at levels of government. Their success is built on a platform of anti-Federation rhetoric, and, although the transfer of power was said to be peaceful, many of the wealthier and more prominent Federal supporters have fled the system, including the outgoing President.
We spoke to Madumallan, the new President, who had this to say: "This is a glorious new dawn for the Chapter of Isinor. The people of Anotchadiae, our people, have had their eyes opened to the evils of the Federation, of their tyranny. Our plight has been ignored by the Federation, by their sycophants in the media, by the galaxy at large, but no longer. We declare our independence, and are in the process of seizing local Federation military resources. This is a glorious new dawn, but it is merely the dawn, and there is a long day ahead."
