The [[Bavogia|Northeastern]] Province of | The [[Bavogia|Northeastern]] Province of Caldera is mostly populated with Volins. Despite this, like in every province, only citizens of Gothic descent could vote for representation. Due to having such a high number of Volins, the province's guard was made up entirely of Volins, and these soldiers saw it as unfit that they could fight for their province but not elect leaders to represent themselves. | ||
When Big Eagle contacted the BPG (Bavogian Provincial Guard) and asked for support for their struggle, Bavogian leader Walter was ecstatic and pledged a brigade in case fighting broke out. These were among the first soldiers to arrive in Little Caldera after the SEP Guard arrived to stop protesters. | When Big Eagle contacted the BPG (Bavogian Provincial Guard) and asked for support for their struggle, Bavogian leader Walter was ecstatic and pledged a brigade in case fighting broke out.

Little Caldera designated the 4th of December as "renovation day", and the 5th of December as "province day", and parades are held on both days to celebrate the outcome of the 2003 Revolt. Pictures and videos of the revolt are still shown online and often appear in parades to occasionally pay homage to the soldiers who gave their lives that day, whether in the militia or Volkspartei. Memorials also appear for the civilians wounded, killed, or missing throughout the conflict. | Little Caldera designated the 4th of December as "renovation day", and the 5th of December as "province day", and parades are held on both days to celebrate the outcome of the 2003 Revolt.
