Hopstate Independence War
On the 8th of November, 16:35, we bring news.
Lord Bunning, leader of the Hopstate, a Tigerium-Vassal, has outed he wants independence and a democracy, with a two party system.
Following this, the Fangtooth Clan arrested Lord Bunning and holds him prisoner, whilst discussing the potential independence of the Hopstate. The Tigerium seems not so eager to let the Hopstate declare it's own independence. "The Tigerium lost influence in regards to the bears. Now the Hopstate? I don't think so, this is what our enemies want!" said Tigrish. Tigrish and several other tigers believe enemies such as the Gray Triumvirate, Royal Primate and Tijgeron's Hordes will take advantage of the situation.
The Hopstate has received a large amount of support. Several Giraffes, Bears and Pigs have taken up arms against the Tigers in the Hopstate territories. Prince Charles of the Giraffes, Beertje Bacon of the Bears and King Varkentje of the Pigs, have demanded the Hopstate be declared independent, the Tigerium acknowledge it's independence and the release of Lord Bunning.
Prince Charley: "This is ludicrous, the Hopstate is large enough to manage itself, it does not need the Tigerium monarchs ruling it!"
Beertje Bacon: "The bears were granted independence, and look at where we are now. Though I'm not entirely sure, I believe we have become even stronger than the Tigers themselves! This happened only after we became independent, before that, we were still weak. Perhaps the bunnies can grow immensely as well if we grant them independence."
Varkentje: "Though the tigers are our allies, we cannot stay silent. The Hopstate deserves independence."
It is unclear what Tigerium-Queen Tijgertje has to say on the matter. Currently, a ceasefire has been signed and diplomatic talks between Prince Charles as well as Tigrish have started.
