Petersburg Secession

The Petersburg secession was the Naverechniyan city of Petersburg leaving Naverechniya. During several disputes in the Naverechniyan Government, Runner985 declared their claims independent from the state of Naverechniya. Runner had bugged Comrade Max for a bridge across the two central districts, Max had agreed but he had been procrastinating the task. As an act of defiance, runner built an obsidian bridge across, and Max ordered its destruction. The next day, Max was kicked from Petersburg, when he asked to rejoin, runner said that "It was never naverechniyan." This was false, seeing as everyone in Vsevograd was always in Petersburg and would fish there daily. Max, then realizing that runner wouldn't return Petersburg, ordered Runner leave Vsevograd. After runner had gathered his belongings and left, he came back and killed Max in Vsevograd's pub.
Naverechniya had previously seen Petersburg as an extension of the state, and privately owned by Runner985. Now, they increased their claim to be that Petersburg is public land to the Federation.
== Aftermath ==
After Petersburg has been very defiant of Naverechnian claims; tearing up beaches and terrain on the outskirts of Vsevograd. This has lead to increase world tension after Naverechniya threatened war if the warnings were violated, and so they were. This has been named the Petersburg Crisis. This eventually lead to the Naverechniyan Civil War, and thus, the fall of Naverechniya.
=== Speculation ===
Many believe that the Naverechnians are out for war, but in public statements they have made only want the reintegration of cultural Naverech land. However, more believe that war is imminent, even the President himself. In a statement Runner985 made to Comrade Max after arguments, Runner said "Continue and your nation will vanish," Max replied with "Continue and I will have the whole world against you."
