Western Malatia Annexed - Brikvania to be Independent

Western Malatia will be annexed, with chunks of the territories to be awarded to the Kingdoms of Suva, Equanter and Lego as part of Malatia's war reparations. In addition, a new Kingdom of Brikvania is created in the NARTO-occupied part of Malatia.
​
"The new Kingdom of Brikvania will be an independent sovereign state next year" announced the NARTO HQ.

Regional countries have pledged asisstance to the new Kingdom, to be created out of four western Malatian provinces now occupied by the Non-Agression Royalist Treay Organisation (NARTO) forces. The Kingdoms of Equanter and Fabu have pledged $2 billion Brick Dollars to assist Brikvania's economy, while the Kingdom of Lego will provide assistance to build a credible military force for the new kingdom.

The Provincial Government of Brikvania, backed by NARTO military forces, is now running the four Western Malatian provinces. There are now 850 personnel in the Royal Brikvanian Police Force (RBPF) and some 2,000 soldiers from the Brikvanian Army. NARTO hopes that by next year, there will be an air force and navy for the Brikvanians.

"A strong Brikvania with a large army will be a buffer between Malatia and NARTO member states," according to General Castlemore, Chief of the Defence Force for the Kingdom of Lego. According to NARTO's plan, Brikvania should have between 80,000 to 100,000 troops, 150 warplanes and a large naval force to provide a deterrence against Malatia. The Brickvanian police force will be expanded and have some 10,000 personnel.

"We encourage Brivanians living overseas to return and contribute to the new Kingdom," added General Castlemore.

There are great excitements on the ground. Many Brivanians, now living overseas, are planing to return home. "We have never expected to see our own Kingdom in this lifetime. A new Brik Kingdom will be a new adventure for all of us as pioneers," said Mr Will Brik, a shoemaker currently residing in Equanter.

In Brikvania itself, repair works on damaged infrastructures have commenced. Many residents, proud to be part of the new Kingdom, have volunteered their labour to clean the streets, and to repair and paint damaged buildings.
