The interim government has remained successful since the February 2012 revolution with little instability, though fringe members of the previous regime have sought asylum in neighboring countries while claiming their own sovereignty over the Eastern European nation.
Today, the United States is the first to throw its support in on the side of the rebellion. The President released a statement in which he praised the rebels ability to set up a government in which much of the population was directly represented after overturning a centuries' old monarchy. "The people of Latveria have gotten what they wanted—they are free to set their own destiny, much as our forefathers did by declaring themselves as more than a British colony. Who are we to deny the freedom for which they have worked so hard for?"
The President's show of support comes ahead of a major vote on the floor of the UN where nations will decide if Latveria should join their ranks..."
