Nostra:North American Arab Spring

The North American Arab Spring was a series of anti-bureaucracy secessions built on months, or in some cases years, of pressure that reached its peak in the later half of August 2026. It officially began in Acadia with it later spreading to America in the Midwest and East Coast.

In Acadia, the result was the secession of the Micoua community, much of Acadia's active community, to New York on August 15th, 2026 which included the towns of Micoua, Stormhaven, and Thunderdome. On August 19th, 2026 the town of Quail was purchased and joined New York, and the town of Sterling owned by 404aka also joined likewise citing irreconcilable differences with members of the leftover Acadian community.

In America, after a failed attempt to reform the nation, the City of Chicago seceded which brought with it 25% of the nation's population, the sitting President & Treasurer, several sitting representatives, along with three original founders of the nation. Chicago temporarily joined New York in the evening of August 16, 2026 to gauge the effects and reactions of their departure before committing to a nation. The Chicago leadership later established the nation of Chicagoland (formerly Heartlands) in the afternoon of August 17, 2026. Due to the unexpected secession of Chicago, the loss of much of the sitting leadership, and in part the quitting of America's former nation holder sayerleft days before, the presenting losses sent shockwaves throughout America unexpectedly causing most of the towns within the state of New Jersey to leave America for New York along with Cleveland joining Chicagoland. Many American towns within Pennsylvania, notably Pittsburgh, considered leaving for New York but ultimately remained due to pressure.
