Brikvanians Celebrate Independence - King Pledges Equality

Thousands of Brikvanians are out celebrating the independence of the Kingdom from Malatia.

The main celebration which was held at Brikcity, was joined by King Brik II and other members of the Royal Cabinet.

In his speech to Brikvanians, King Brik II announced the government policy for the new Kingdom. "This Kingdom is for all Brikvanians, regardless of where they are from. The Royal Government will work for social justice, where we will ensure education and health benefits for all subjects are taken care of," announced King Brik.

"In this Kingdom, there is no such thing as right wing or left wing. Whatever policies that will help the people to lead a better life, that are the policies for this government. I assure you all that this government will be the government of Brikvanians and for Brikvanians." 

On foreign policy, His Excellency added, " We will cooperate with all countries, including Malatia. The time for blind nationalism has ended. It has brought nothing but war, pain and tears for people in this region. Brikvania will be a friendly country for all and enemy to none."

Regional countries welcomed King Brik II wise speech on peaceful coexistence, and have declared their recognition of Brikvanian independence.

The Totalitarian Republic of Malatia however has not formally recognised Brikvania's independence. Field Marshal Nutyubrick, the current leader of Malatia, declared that Brikvania is still legally part of Malatia. When asked by reporters on Malatia's position regarding Brivania, Field Marshal Nutyubrick smiled eerily and said "I'll be back".
