The ruling Legolis First Party (LFP) under Rito Wingo has proposed that the Legolis Province of Brikvania should be transferred to the Kingdom of Lego.

The claim was made during a LFP Conference last night in Legotown.

In a fiery speech to LFP's cadres, Rito Junior (Wingo's son) who is also the LFP Secretary General told the cadres that Legolis Province should be reunited with the Kingdom of Lego as most of the residents are Legos.

"Brikvania owes us for their survival. We created them and they owe us big time. We protect them. It is now time for us to claim our dues," said Rito Junior. Hundreds of LFP cadres shouted "Take Legolis Back".

The Kingdom of Lego's Foreign Ministry has confirmed it has approached the Kingdom of Brikvania regarding the transfer of Legolis Province to the Kingdom of Lego.

"We want the matter to be resolved quickly, failure which we will impose more economic sanction on Brikvania," said a press release from the Kingdom of Lego's Foreign Affairs Ministry.

Prime Minister WIngo has also staked his claim to Legolis Province. "We can afford to pay for it. I would offer $10 billion Bricks Dollars to Brikvania for us to buy over the Province" said Wingo.

Brikvania has rejected Wingo's offer to buy over the Legolis Province.

"The Legolis Province is not for sale. It is part of our Kingdom and this is not a property deal. We are talking about our subjects here and they are not for sale",  said the Brikvanian Minister in Charge of Defence and Internal Security, Prince Aragon.

Prince Aragon also declared that military service has commenced in Brikvania. "All 18 to 25 years old male will join the army for a period of 1 year, to be followed by service in the reserve units for 10 years," said Prince Aragon.

"Some 4,000 youths, regardless if they are pink or black or yellow minifigs, have already joined the army last month in a covert conscription program", added Prince Aragon.

Responding to reporters' questions on Wingo's claim over Legolis Province, Prince Aragon said, "Big countries create their own illusions. But all empire will collapse someday. And I do not think anyone will cry if Wingo falls".

Inside Legolis Province, most of the residents who are ethnic Legos, disapproved Wingo's claim. " We are Brikvanian first, not Legos," said Artu Fartu, a Legos coffee-maker in the Province.
