I will be going on an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons. Hope to be back soon-ish.

Usually if it's personal reasons, it's not good. So good luck in sorting things out, Chris.

I want to just speak a bit about the current situation. I am unhappy with myself and this nation. I am unhappy with myself because I rushed into this Union. I urged Mike to hurry and get this done for us. I flew through things because I simply wanted Tellia to live. I now see that I have made a mistake.
Tellia was not doing as badly as I had thought it was, in reality. I remember now how hard it is to start a new nation. It is not exactly fun. But I decided to try it, with Eddis. Why? Because Vanderveer-Tellia has problems. One, is me. I am egotistical, I suppose, but I like to be in charge. The current situation is bothering me because I am not in charge of anything. The UOTS (Union of Tellian States) is inactive and the nation is inactive. I understand that this is partly due to exams etc. but that doesn't make it any nicer.
Problem number two is my relationship with other citizens of this nation. It is not the best. In fact, I am not sure if it is good enough for me to continue here.
There are other issues here, but those are the major ones that are forcing me to do this. I had planned on taking a simple Leave of Absence and focus on other things but I feel attached to Tellia and I want out. I am asking...for support. I would like to leave the Reich. I am sorry that it has to be this way. I am just asking for 3 of you to support me in a petition to leave. Then I will ask Parliament for similar support. Finally, the people will vote. I hope the majority will support this.
I am hoping that you will realize that I am trying to be as humble and honest as I can. This is my fault, and I have made a mistake. I hope that you guys can understand that I want to fix this and just undo my mess. I hope you'll help me out here...Please understand that with the way things in the UOTS are going, this is best for Vanderveer also.
I will be posting my Motion to Dissolve in Parliament.

Eddis seems to be doing quite well. If you're that upset with the nation, then you have every right to depart and focus your time on that project. I'm not saying that's good or bad. But it's not good if you're unhappy here, and obviously it would be detrimental to this nation to lose any of its citizens.
You did, however, agree to terms of union. I think it should be up to the nation as a whole to decide whether to dissolve that union or not.
If Tellia did leave the union, then what would become of Eddis? It seems pointless to me that you would be running two independent micronations when you already have a brand new one that is doing fine. While you did create Tellia, it has become a part of a greater project and doesn't belong to just you anymore. It belongs to everyone here, as a community. And I think it would be a great disservice to all of us if you arbitrarily dismissed the popular will of this nation simply because you want to leave.

Eddis will be dissolved into a new Tellia, which I hope to make different than the old. Look, this is not working. I will maintain citizenship, perhaps, but the way things are.....is simply unacceptable.
And this is not just because I want to leave...It is more than that. It is for the good of both nations. And no, Tellia is not just mine...but...It means a lot to me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: challenge the regency if you're not happy. I will abide by any result.
