The Nuevogranadan Backwater of Scotia Flow Changes in Government - May 1816 As the nation settles in for a hopefully peaceful era after gaining independence, the lethargic Council is shaken to the core. Out of the nine members, the representative of Caracas, a young stunning man, delivers a fiery speech on the need to strengthen both the position of Nueva Granada on the international stage and its economy. The other members of the Council hears him out. He suggests further cooperation with the United States and the Kingdom of Italy, noting the need for the abolishment of slavery, also alluding to making the people freer than ever before. “Independence should be sought for all nations in South America,” he adds. Recognising the lack of a leader leading to unsatisfactory results in governmental affairs, the Council unanimously decides to elect Simón Bolívar as the Prime Councillor, Primer Consejero. Large reforms are expected in the coming years. Long live Nueva Granada, long live Primer Consejero Simón Bolívar. |

The Japanese Empire of Aluvitar Emperor Kōkaku Leads Procession to Iwashimizu Hachimangū Shrine - March 1814
In the radiant glow of Imperial regalia, the procession, a manifestation of the spiritual unity between the Imperial House and the Shogunate, traversed the hallowed paths towards the Iwashimizu Hachimangū Shrine, nestled amid the tranquil mountains surrounding Kyoto. The recent naval victory, where the Shogunate forces valiantly repelled the perfidious Westerners attempting to reclaim the city, was recognized as a manifestation of divine intervention by Hachiman. His Majesty, embodying both the temporal and spiritual leadership of the realm, deemed it fitting to express gratitude to the kami whose sacred presence guarded the nation in its time of need. |

The United States of America of Arrstotzka The Carmiglio Conspiracy and Burning of the New York Masonic Lodge - October 10, 1818 On the afternoon of October 10, 1818, a riot erupted in the heart of Manhattan. The affair came to a head following a speech given by New York State Senator Vernon van Krued at a street corner two city blocks from the Grand Masonic Lodge of New York. The rousing firebrand, who is also the youngest member of the State Senate at 29 years of age, called openly for the immediate destruction of the edifice, denouncing the Freemasons as a "pack of mystics with no good place in our society." As the Senator continued through his speech, the crowd to which he spoke grew in size considerably, attracting workmen from the Orville Brothers Fabricant. In tandem, he expanded the subject of his polemic to members of the Federalist Party, whom he accused of doing the bidding of the Masons in New York. Soon thereafer, he claimed to have knowledge of a conspiracy within the city's government led by the Gulliver Carmiglio, a Swiss émigré and aide to New York City Mayor Cadwallader Colden. Carmiglio, the Senator alleged, was a Freemason who plotted to poison Mayor Colden and orchestrate what van Krued described as a "violent arrest," of the city with the help of several, unnamed politicians. Sparking outrage, the accusations stirred the crowed into a frenzy, as the onlookers marched to the nearby lodge, demanding entry to the secret society's chapter. Emerging from the building, several members attempted to calm the crowd while keeping them out. The situation escalated, however, when Oliver Anderson, an official of the lodge, insisted that "we have naught to withhold from your eyes worthy of your trouble," which the mob seemingly interpreted as an invitation inside. Local officers of the law either stood by or joined them, as the building was flooded with persons and ransacked. After sunset, a fire was reported to have started inside, allegedly by the crowd. Evacuating rapidly, one person was killed in the fire, which soon grew into an inferno as local firemen struggled to extinguish it. Accusing the Freemasons of setting the center alight to "hide more secrets," policemen took several members of the lodge into detainment who were beaten nearly to death by the riotous crowd, who cheered with merriment at the brilliant scene of destruction. In the wake of the affair, Mayor Colden urged New Yorkers to remain tranquil, acquiescing that van Krued's allegations will soon be investigated, as the activities of Mr. Carmiglio are scrutinized. |

Everyone, BOPDR's next debate will be on immigration. It will be at 9:00 AM AEST Sunday, or 6:00 PM EST (I think. That could be CST) Saturday. The specific topic should be 'In what cases is increased immigration a good thing?'. If you would like to sign up to participate in the debate, telegram me about it, and I will add your name to the list. |
