Nostra:North American Arab Spring
The North American Arab Spring is a series of anti-bureaucracy secessions from some of the largest North American nations 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, spread to America in the Midwest and East Coast, and later California with a total nuking.
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. Some American towns within Pennsylvania, notably Pittsburgh, briefly left for New York but ultimately remained due to internal pressure. Philadelphia's intention to secede and make their own nation was leaked days before but nothing came to fruition.
In California, due to the refusal to give up power along with stagnation and inactivity caused by leaders Ewhy808 and Explosivefirewk, much of the nation left to create Pacific on August 29, 2026. Those who left included the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 9th most populous towns in California, two sitting cabinet members, seven members of the House of Representatives, and among the largest Californian towns by area and activity. As a result California faced major losses, much coming from the total nuking of the nation by shadowcipher and other chancellors which included kicking all towns and draining the nation bank. Most ex-Californian towns joined Pacific while some chose to join Canada.
