Ma Lin then faced an intense attack from his own friends, netizens from various places, and residents from different regions.
"How could you govern like this as a Chief Executive? It was during your term that the split happened."
Ma Lin was utterly unable to respond.
Those who left had established a new country called Fidelity Nation, meaning that all of their people were of strong will, not beguiled by the Interstellar Federation, all having their own ideals and dreams, unwilling to compromise with the rulers at will.
Ma Lin thought to himself, this is how I became a ruler, the target of their attacks.
After its establishment, Fidelity Nation refused to engage in any commercial dealings with the Interstellar Federation, denied entrance to any citizens from the Federation to visit, was particularly strict on crackdowns of stowaways and smuggling, and did not allow anyone from within their own country to visit the Federation, with violators being imprisoned.
