RHODE ISLAND DECLARES SECESSION!

---

In the midst of a nation-wide disaster, the governor of Rhode Island has declared unilateral secession and war with the government of the US.

---

"My loyal Rhodians are withdrawing to Aquidneck and Conanicut Islands," said governor Alex Ackerwith in a public announcement this morning.

---

"The US government has failed us.

---

Any attempt by the US to intervene in our affairs will result in military action from the Narragansett Government.

---

Frankly, I don't think they can get their shit together enough to challenge us."
