Controversy, Protests, and Riots
Forming The Kingdom of Vivoa
During the creation of the kingdom, many protesters took to the streets to protest the formation of the kingdom. This was solved fairly quickly with negotiations between the mayor and the people, many were concerned about the power the monarch would have, but a constitution was wrote at the beginning of the nation which made the monarch fairly powerless, creating a constitutional monarchy.
The Tribal War
Many tribesman residing in the city caused riots due to war, the military had to take to the cities own streets to combat this, and a small amount of bloodshed happened, but as a result of the riots, a few restaurants had windows broken, and the beach was covered with flaming tires.
National Conservatives' "Internet Spy" Campaign
A large controversy happened in June of 2012 with the National Conservatives proposal for spying to be put in place due to the recent hacks done on Bloc Bank, which caused 1.2 million dollars to be stolen by the hacker. People heavily despised the new bill for internet monitoring, and the party had to reconsider their actions to be re-elected.
Robins National Conservation Zone
After a threat with climate change, the national government created a few conservation zones in the area, one of which is the Robins National Conservation Zone, this zone is governed mainly by the City of Carson, and is assisted by the National Conservation League which helps assist with re-greening the area and collecting litter. On this particular land, camping and fishing are permitted for up to 16 days, but hunting, and collecting resources is strictly prohibited.
Before the zone was created, many people took to dumping in the area, when the National Conservation League formed in the summer of 1981, the zone started to be cleared of garbage, to this day over 62 metric tons of garbage was removed[2], and politcal parties started to help support cleaning and regreening the zone, 2 years after the efforts, the zone was declared a National Conservation Zone.
1993 Carson City Attack
On July 10th, 1993, an indigenous Greek tribe attacked Government Tower near the entrance of Carson due to the Vivoan annexation of their lands. Due to this, the government had a 91 day war with the tribe which resulted in 13 Vivoan Army casualties and 23 of the tribesman dying. The tribe surrendered and with the lost soldiers, a memorial site was set up beside the tower which includes the names of the soldiers who were recognized for their heroic acts. Many white tulips were planted as the monarchs way of showing memorial to those who served, the red tulips behind the names are there in celebration of high honour.
