The Morovian Telegraph

An Apolitical Morovia

Micronationalism, some claims, is all about politics. There are many micronations without a functioning economy; without a judicial system; without a religion; without a purpose. But has there been a micronation that is not very concerned about politics, or has any micronation where most of its citizens choose not to participate in politics? Welcome to Morovia - the apolitical micronation.

In the previous elections, Morovians shunned partisanship and run as independent candidates. This election sees politics, as a whole, not having a place in the heart of the Morovians at all. In the run-up to the recent elections, there was almost no need for campaigning from the various candidates, as there were only 5 of them with 5 seats to fight for. What happened to the rest of the active Morovians?

Outgoing People's Representative, Lord Marc Lanson, issued an apology for, in his opinion, not fulfilling the duties of his office and that he will not seek for re-election. He had since expressed interests in bartending at the Fort St. George. Outgoing speaker Zachary Dussault also did not seek for re-election and partnered Robert Gresham in opening a law firm instead.

Outgoing assemblyman Bill Bekkenhuis, who was probably the most active assemblyman in the previous term, decided to retire from active politics and concentrate on running the Morovian Telegraph before turning against his own words yet again. His Eminence James Cardinal Murphy is busy with the church, Thomas Cutterham just resigned as Minister of Information and is expected to unveil his plans soon, and General Steven Foong was never interested in politics. Robert Kee decided to become an Election Commissioner instead of running for the election himself. Peter Mills is enjoying being a private citizen and showed no sign of increasing his activity to assume more responsibilities.

Will Morovian political scene rejuvenates or will politics be considered yet another unnecessary accessory? Will it take another crisis before Morovians reconsider taking up the people's cause or will Morovia leads the way in micronationalism to renounce politics the way she led the renunciation of micronational war?
