Easwegian Revolution

The Easwegian revolution describes the period of events which occured between the 24th November 2017 and the 19th December 2017 where the Independent Serpent Forces made up of the Easwegian independence movement of the Cyber Council Easwegian Alliance and its independence party, the Ouroboros' Serpents Party rose up against the Norwegian occupiers on Bear Island and declared unilateral sovereign independence, creating the Mainland of Easway on Bear Island. Made up of various different political wants for an independent Easway, the Easwegian people united around the want for the Ezerryen Easwegian Language and the Easwegians to hold sovereign protection whilst recreating a viable society, economy and thriving culture in southern Svalbard that includes all people. The common slogan used during the revolution was "in co-operation we stand", which became the national slogan of Easway, as well as the commonly chanted "Ezerrye Lei Reun", "Easway forever'.

## History

The independence of the Easwegian people had been planned since October 2015 when the Cyber Council was set up. Originally being an organisation of Easwegian nationalists and labourers designed for the redistribute assets and planning for economical opportunities and governmental organisation in a new Easwegian stage with no set leadership, the members soon elected to make Emizerri, the founder its Chief Director. The members often would not see each other in public but would communicate and organise online which is why the name Cyber became attributed to the Council.

Emi decided the best way to defeat an occupying force, especially when they were passive was to plan discretely until the time is right and then surprise them with a full take over of the Island, leaving them without plan and allowing there to be no bloodshed. (Some on the island were Norwegians and the wish was for future multi-ethnic co-operation).

For two years the Cyber Council planned for independence and during that time, notable member Aleksou Maximus Desourrë had joined. On the 5th November 2017 the Ouroboros' Serpents Party was set up with Emi as Party Chief and Desourrë as General Secretary. Initially receiving no attention, the party members increasingly saw hostility towards them. What was already assumed was seen as clear to the Council members: more action would be necessary to achieve independence for the Easwegian people from Norway. Thus the Council decided the date for the Easwegian Revolution would be set for the 24th of November 2017 and the Ouroboros' Serpents Party would serve as its successor and official political arm. The Council elevated Emi who had increasingly became nicknamed as the Emizerri, after his coined 'Emissarry leadership' style to the position of Grand Marshal of the Independent Serpent Forces and the Emizerri appointed Desourrë as Commissar of the Emando Ground Forces, a position equivalent to Marshal at the time. This position also tasked Desourrë with troop morale. A Patron of the Cyber Council of British descent and long time friend of the Emizerri, named in Easwegian as Oelaanni was appointed by him as a political Commissar for Provisions and Supplies for troops of the Independent Serpent Forces. Oelaanni was appointed the militia rank of Major within the Emando ground forces on the 26th November 2017 by Commissar Desourrë.
