Novosevensk independence movement, 2012

The Novosevensk independence movement was a political movement of 2012 with the aim of achieving independence for the village of Novosevensk. It was led by Denis 'Deniska' Grigorev, the self-proclaimed Governor of Novosevensk, who led the so called Unofficial Government of Novosevensk. The members of the Unofficial Government, a union of several residents of Novosevensk, had an active role in campaigning for Novosevenskian independence. Although they were not an official government they had a Governor, Deputy Governor and Cabinet. They were not affiliated with or supported by the Lovian government.

History
Regionalist tendencies have been strong in Novosevensk for over a century, due to the unique (in Lovia) culture and isolation geographically from their eastern neighbors in Kinley. These were in part responsible for the outbreak of the Lovian Civil War in 2011.

On September the 7th, Grigorev announced the existence of an 'unofficial government.' Reaction was swift, with police rushing to the village to prevent potential violence. Members of the cabinet were called for questioning.
