The Asadero Revolutionary - Early Edition - Turn One

 A glorious day in Mauxica!

In response to the latest news from Crimsonia - imposing new tariffs and taxes to pay for First CItizen Laurel's disastrous war against Maustria - the common people have risen in outrage! Governor Marshal Musculus has ordered the garrison troops to leave the cities and regroup on the coastline to await developments. The Chaos and Disorder that resulted from the uprising and lack of garrison has had a detrimental effect on the economy of the Island, with almost a fifth of the regular income lost.

The prominent families have sent representatives to a Delegates Assembly, a gathering to lead Mauxica in opposing the tyrannical majority of Crimsonian Politics.

The Delegates assembled in Asadero, and immediately elected Alexander Emmental, a well-known if slightly ancient patron. Deaf as a post and often asleep behind his dark glasses, President Emmental has appointed Lucius Santos as Commander of the Regiments of Militia now forming in the Capital.

Santos is young and from a well-to-do family in Crimsonia - practically nobility, if that were possible in the Demouscratic Republic. Born in Mausropa, he emigrated to Mauxica a decade ago, and is now a prominent land-owner and businessmouse.

President Emmental has outlined a proposed message to Governor Musculus, asking that the Tariffs and Taxes be removed, and that the Governor himself be replaced by a figure chosen by the Delegates' Assembly. It seems unlikely to this reporter that the Governor will agree to replace himself, but no doubt the message will be communicated to the Senate in Crimsonia. The Delegate's Assembly voted to approve the proposal.

Two other Presidential motions have so far met with limited success - a bill to increase the size of the Militia and recruit Cavalry and a small detachment of Artillery have been criticised by the delegates as being both "excessive and agressive" and "insufficient and foolish." There may need to be some further negotiation. Another bill, appointing Luisa Cotija as an Envoy to the various courts of Mausropa has been strongly criticised, and Cotija herself has stated publicly that she has no interest in such a role.

It does seem that Mausropa is open to supporting the Mauxican people in opposing Crimsonian domination - an unknown power has made a large donation of cheese to the Delegates'Assembly.
