Raging Voters - Unite!

'Twas a beautiful spring morning. The birds were singing, the trees were laughing, and Ruler X logged into NationStates to lead his people into another glorious day.

First of all he went to check out his outdated telegraph device. A single message had come through in his absence. It read:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
l
l Attention nations that oppose Milograd's delegacy (if you're pro-Milograd, ignore this message's contents -- they don't apply to you at all).
l____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bad start. Where were those pain killers?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
l
l You should leave the South Pacific region immediately. We're staying and the great people's revolutionary theme that we have established is going to stay too. If you don't
l want to live under what you assume is a dictatorship, you should just get out. There are plenty of regions out there that you would believe are democratic and stable.
l There is no reason to stay here if you are not one of us. We don't want you.
l
l Leave now. It is pointless to stay.
l____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Well, Ruler X thought, he wasn't a member of the WA after all, nor had he really any contact with counter-revolutionaries. Did this even apply...?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
l
l We are going to continue purging nations for not endorsing me, even if they aren't in the World Assembly, and you may as well save yourself the trouble of getting banned by
l quietly leaving with dignity. There is no reason to stay here now if you do not love Milograd.
l
l With that said, IF YOU DON'T LIKE MILOGRAD'S LEADERSHIP YOU SHOULD JOIN ATLANTIS! It is a free, democratic, non-communist region. You will enjoy it much more than
l the South Pacific if you dislike Milograd's delegacy, and Milograd's delegacy is going to stick around for a while. You will be sent to the Rejected Realms if you chose not to join
l Atlantis, so you are encouraged to make a choice. All that matters is that you get out and stay out, because we don't want you here. No one wants you here.
l
l Signed,
l CCK
l Commissar of Mass Telegrams for Milograd's Regime
l Sent by Milograd

A shiver ran down Ruler X's spine. This was a direct slap into the face against all he and his nation stood for. Years and years he had spent leading a peaceful coexistence in the
South Pacific. He'd kept quiet until now and never caused any trouble but he wasn't about to let this muppet walk all over him - perish the thought!

No, he was going to start a REVOLT.

Wielding a bible in one hand and his trusty cane in the other, he marched into the main city square. "People of this land, listen to my words! The radicals have taken control of
the region and are threatening to overthrow and banish our righteous nation. We shall not let this come to pass! Arm yourselves, citizens, we march on Milograd!"

The crowd roared in approval. Grabbing pitchforks, scythes, hoes, torches and the occasional halberd, the mob stormed through the city gates and began their long journey to
Milograd... Ruler X hurried back inside to sign his endorsement of the counter-revolutionary nation known as Brutland and Norden.

Only a few hours later the insurgents found themselves beaten and banned from the South Pacific. As they wandered the Rejected Realms many questions still bothered them.
Where to now? What was to become of their beloved home nation? What future lay ahead of them?

Only time would tell.
