Chappaqua: Difference between revisions

In the spring of 2024 AD, as Corummese and Corummese-backed forces seized control of large territories in western Nanseetucket, large-scale demonstrations in favour of independence began in Chappaquiddick. The protests began at Sagadahok Square in Port Hyannis, the regional capital, when a street vendor selling traditional grilled Chappaqui flatbreads tore the national flag from a flagpole above a nearby building, sprinkled it generously with salt, and began to cook it, much to the delight of onlookers. By noon, crowds marching through the streets of Port Hyannis and Drumthwacket were were chanting pro-independence slogans and had occupied properties belonging to the central government and its state-owned enterprises. Prominent civil society figures, including Secretary-General Paul Naugatuck of the CPLP and Mashawit Kennebec, the patriarch of a chiefly family that was sidelined by Alaganek in 1998 in favour of the sitting West Chappaqui chief at the time, Bishumitsi Kwikimarti, quickly endorsed the protests, stoking the flames of popular ire against the régime. Two weeks after the protests began, the Joint Chiefs of Chappaquiddick convened to approve “emergency measures", including the seizure of central government property and granting official sanction to grassroots “community safety patrols” formed along clan and village lines. The Joint Chiefs also nullified central government bans on the secessionist Chappaquiddick People’s Liberation Party and Chappaquiddick People’s Liberation Army, and called for a referendum on independence from Nanseetucket to be held in a week’s time.
