AN ACT
Declaring the secession and unilateral sovereignty of the People's Republic of Lincoln (formerly the Region of Lincoln.)
An official order dispatched with the authority and knowledge of the Lincoln Executive Office1. Motivation
a. Due to widespread malaise in Atlasia, demonstrated by legislative apathy and low rates of voter participation, Lincoln would be best served by regulating our own interests. To that end, we have abolished the undemocratic and illegal Lincoln General Court.
b. Lincoln has recruited 100,000 armed volunteers both from inside and outside its borders and currently occupies the area surrounding New York City in both the Hudson Valley and on Long Island. Elite offensive units such as the Bay State Brigade, the Green Mountain Boys, and the Revolutionary Minutemen Front (Bluecoats - militia of the Revolutionary Federalist Party) maintain arms in and around the provisional capitol of Boston. Thus, Lincoln has sufficient military power to assert our sovereign claims without appeals to the Constitutional process of Atlasia.
2. Action
a. All states within the traditional border of Lincoln - New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and the Southern state of Delaware, are immediately and henceforth comprisal of the independent, free, and sovereign People's Republic of Lincoln.
b. All institutions and symbols of the region of Lincoln are immediately transferred to the People's Republic of Lincoln, under the executive authority of Governor KaiserDave, and the legislative authority of the appointed Revolutionary General Committee.
Henceforth, be it enacted.
