At 11:00 pm on June 16th 1999 the National People's State leadership arrive and declare to a growing crowd the formation of the National Republic of Puerto Rico.

Soon news spread across Puerto Rico of the new government and the United States delegate in Coto Norte soon abandoned any plans to form a Pro-American government. In the days following independence a Constitution would be drafted based on Puerto Rican values, Marxist-Leninism and Sorelianism. A new flag would be raised for the National Republic and all other political parties would be banned. The United States would recognise the government the next day and soon the National Republic would gain international recognition and a seat in the UN. The Garrisons of U.S territorial troops from Puerto Rico would join the BPA and Communist Militia to form the Armed Forces of the National Republic of Puerto Rico, 100s of soldiers would be deployed nationally to maintain law and order.
