Istvanistan Wins Controversial MCS Appeal

MCS - The Republic of Istvanistan has won a controversial appeal for the MCS to restore its long-standing claim on the Micras world map, following its equally controversial removal last month.

The removal of Istvanistan from the map was apparently instigated by Dr. Spangle, who "forced" long-absent Istvanistani veteran Ari Rahikkhala to submit a claim for its removal on the grounds that it had been dead for four years.

What had been rather carelessly overlooked, though, was that Dr. Spangle's very own Ultimate Micronational Forumlist clearly showed otherwise, although anyone could presumably have briefly checked Istvanistan's forum instead.

At the beginning of this month, the Republic's recently appointed Minister of Foreign Annoyances and Envoy to the MCS, George W. Seagull, submitted an appeal against the removal, and stood steadfastly in the face of unreasonable offers for Istvanistan to meet additional conditions before its rightful position was restored.

The MCS Council eventually accepted the appeal just over a week ago, and we are now tentatively awaiting the next edition of the map to be published with Istvanistan restored.
