The sovereign state of Uggaby declared

The Republic of Uggaby came into being after a vote of seven to one in the Parish Council.
Major Faircourt opposed the motion, but his followers were won over by the
elegant eroticism of Emma Mardle, Landlady of the Nelson's Arm Inn.
(See Beccles Life Magazine for the full and official account)
"All men are idiots and Uggabian men excel" she told our reporter Sid Scumwright

An interim government has been sworn in pending elections which will take place some time in the future, perhaps.

Appointments to the newly formed interim government of Uggaby:

Major Faircourt and Silas Pugh joint interim Presidents.
Ginger Tom Secretary of State for Foreign affairs.
Marta Denton Secretary of State for Welfare and Community Affairs.
Light Fingered Jack Chancellor of the Exchequer.
George Langley Secretary of State for Defence.
Emma Mardle Secretary of State for Moral Behaviour and Erotic Fruit Munching.
Wannet, Grabett and Leggit Commissioners to the Bank to Uggaby.

Police have been waiting to interview Marta Denton, seen here during the Great Siege of Abb’s Windmill, regarding last spring’s disturbance at the annual festival. However due to recent events an armistice has been declared allowing Marta to come out of hiding and take her undoubted place in the hierarchy of our new Republic.

Prof. Blake Morin after unofficially connecting Uggaby to England's National Grid system.

Professor Blake Morin’s thesis entitled ‘Waveney its Course and its Implications’ was accepted rather too quickly by the County Councils of Norfolk and Suffolk. Each placing Uggaby within the others’ boundaries. Morin was able to prove that Sitrik’s Stream was the original course of the Waveney, meaning that Uggaby was now an island with the river running both to the north and south. The county borders became confused with both councils arguing vehemently in favour of the other. The result was the removal of Uggaby from all UK maps.
The Boundaries Commission of England soon ratified the findings, leaving the village technically foreign soil, a landlocked island, surrounded by a hostile nation glancing with envious eyes at the Uggabian Remitroot crop. Uggaby was a stateless state.

The subsequent emergency meeting of the Parish Council had no other course than to declare a Republic. “Learn’n do quackle com’n sense” said George Langley our new Defence Minister, a man devoid of both qualities.

As the new government headed by joint-presidents Faircourt and Pugh is sworn in our little nation must stiffen its resolve, put local loyalties to one side and march forward with spirit and determination.

Duty on remitroot wine has been abolished!!!
