Eiric Börnatfiglheu
Eiric S. Börnatfiglheu is a former citizen[1] of the Kingdom of Talossa. A three-time leader in the Republic of Talossa, he immigrated during Reunision and became a member of the ZRT, later co-founding the NPW.
The ESB Affair
On 7 Jan 2013/XXXIV, King John announced that Secretary of State Sir Iustì Canun had pointed out some anomalies in numerous accounts on Wittenberg, and that subsequent investigation had revealed "overwhelming and absolutely conclusive" evidence that Börnatfiglheu had faked the identities of seventeen different individuals who had immigrated or were currently immigrating, over the course of the past year.[2] Among these individuals, eight of them had voted in the previous general election, all for one party (ZRT), and one was a Member of Cosa for that party, under the name Sariah Gipson. Importantly, however, no one in either the ZRT, Börnatfiglheu's old party, or the NPW, his current party, was aware of the deception - or happy about it.
After an injunction issued by Justice Ián Tamorán, all of the eighteen Wittenberg accounts were suspended, and the "citizenships" of the seventeen fictional characters was ended. Börnatfiglheu subsequently confessed his guilt and renounced his citizenship, stating that "[i]t began with a idle wonder on my part as to whether I could get away with it and then extended to see just how far it could get pushed."[3]
