The region of Declansburg is permanently cutting ties with the player known as "Pac Derman" due circumstantial evidence which has led the regional government to believe that this nation is an alternate controlled by the player behind Kattenstaad, a nation in Aelstun.
A counterintelligence operation has uncovered that several nations in Aelstun, where the Declansburg ex-pat nation of Akagura serves as Minister of RP, have established friendly relations with the founder of Aros Elyium and several nations in the region of Kavonia and Alliance of Eros. On August 8, the nations of IDEVK (from Kavonia), Paralogica (believed to be an alt of Elite Leomonade that is in Aelstun), and Kattenstad (from Aelstun) began holding a discussion via the NS Nexus bot on Discord, using the name "gilbert" as a believed codeword. We believe this codeword described either the infiltration operation being conducted, the personality created to infiltrate the region, the player behind the nation infiltrating, or all of the above.

The player Kattenstad stated on August 8 that they were switching their main account to "gilbert." We believe this is a code name for the alt nation being used to infiltrate Declansburg. We believe Declansburg is the target because the discussion ends with what we have concluded as a direct reference to the founder of Declansburg, also known as "Brad."
We believe that Declansburg is the target of a long-term infiltration operation by Kattenstad and possibly other associated nations.
It is believed that all the above nations are privy to an operation to infiltrate Declansburg. The discovery of the messages described above led to an investigation into Kattenstad, which revealed the nation of Gilbertlandy, a believed puppet nation of Kattenstad. Neither Kattenstad or Gilbertlandy have WA status. What jumped out immediately was Gilbertlandy's currency, the "gilb," which is the same as Pac Derman's currency.
Furthermore, the flag of Pac Derman is believed to be a subtle representation of the swastika, which is a common theme among nations in the loose association of players we have described. Rantarod is known for possessing a very similar flag, which is also believed to be a subtle representation of the swastika.
The timing is also there. Pac Derman joined the region in very late June. It should also be stated that the regions of Aelstun and Aros Elyium have developed a close relationship in recent months, as they often share RP. Many times nations can be bannished from Aros to Aelstun for RP purposes. We mention this to establish a further motive and context.
See Catalogue of Circumstantial Evidence
The discovery of the puppet nation New Nekonia, which is located in Aros Elyium we believe further points to additional circumstantial evidence that suggests either Denis Pavel is responsible for controlling the alternate of Pac Derman illegally against the game's rules, or evidence that Denis Pavel is aware of this ongoing operation to infiltrate Declansburg and in close association with these players.
We consider this attempted infiltration serious, as we believe it highly likely that the player responsible has attempted to befriend and gain the trust of others in a perceived attempt to cause destructive harm to the region and the players associated with it.
Based on the above conclusions in this report, we are immediately terminating the relationship between Declansburg and Pac Derman. This decision will not be subject to appeal and this is considered an OOC matter as many of the players named have previously stated an OOC animosity to Declansburg. Accordingly, we believe this network of players is largely responsible for much of the OOC harassment that Declansburg receives. And, we believe that the players responsible are doing so in a malicious manner. Pac Derman's declared candidacy for office increased the urgency to reveal the conclusions we have made from our research and to act on them. Please note, any incorrect conclusions about the identities of those believed responsible does not negate the fact that we believe the player behind Kattanstaad is responsible for the creation and maintenance of Pac Derman.
These conclusions are not definitive, as the evidence is circumstantial. However, based on our conclusions, we have seen enough. Pac Derman is banished.
UPDATE: Since Pac Derman's banishment it has been additionally discovered that Pac Derman likely plagiarized complex code for factbooks from another nation in Declansburg. We are logging this as additional circumstantial evidence supporting the ban.
Additional Points: We believe the thematic importance of cats could be a reference to catfishing, a tactic of using a false persona to gain the confidence of another. We also submit that Pac Derman has been informed to find a new region. Other moderator nations were kept aware of this investigation while it proceeded through the past few days and this ejection does not come as a surprise to the region's leadership.
