All my life I was hurt in some way by America. Carolina, broke into two because I was poor and rebellious. Hurricanes went and gone, never getting help from the government that was supposed to be there for me. Never having the right to exist as myself and have state power- state decision. As a representative of the citizens of North Carolina, I stand by them. I represent North Carolina, I hold its flag on my head, I represent the strength that is misunderstood by this nation and forgotten. No longer will the citizens of this state suffer in poverty and lack of economical development, no longer will thousands of people drink until they die, rather they will prosper the way that they should.
This country is a traitor towards its name. The largest Army Base, Fort Bragg, is on this soil. No more will this state be used to fight pointless wars for monetary gain, no more will the veterans from this Fort leave the wars they are forced to fight only because of corrupt corporations who want only more. North Carolina shall represent the true America, the America who fought intensely during the Holocaust, the country that helped people in need rather than blow them into smithereens.
America is corrupt. Families and corporations run this country from the backseat and murder those who oppose them. And for God, this state will hold its Southern values above the head of this corruption and be there for the citizens that built such ground.
It's July 1st, 2119. I stand next to the House of Representatives and Senate for North Carolina, in which it officially drafts the North Carolinian Declaration of Independence.
First, I need to explain to you my role.
Each country has a spirit that represents the country as a whole- it represents the citizens and the government. It incorporates it all, from the history to the way our elders are buried. America has a spirit like this, where the representative of America itself rests in Washington D.C- where the state representative spirits reside in their respective capitals.
I've seen North Carolina grow with my very own eyes, I saw the migration of the capital building to Raleigh, I saw it rebel with the Confederacy, I saw Fort Bragg officially become the largest army base. I saw it all, I saw this country grow from a rural place with forests, to a state where it's a little less rural with forests. I saw the development of Charlotte with its banking industry, I saw the population of Raleigh skyrocket in the 2000s. So I am glad to say that North Carolina will continue to prosper as its own country- far more than the rest of America has. Our manufacturing, banking, fishing, and tourism will shock the world.
So the day that the declaration was passed, I felt like a blast ripple throughout my body. I saw visions of my old leader, America, sitting in bed and suddenly screaming in pain as the stars on his flag rearrange. From 10 stars on each row, it became a disorganized mess with different numbers of stars on each row. It was fantastic, I saw his sunglasses fall to the ground, I saw his eyes widen in pain, and I have never seen anything better.
It has begun.
// Let it begin! I'm excited to start this!
