C.Y. 85 Puan annexation referendum



The C.Y. 85 Puan annexation referendum was a referendum held on 30 Ulary, C.Y. 85 in the country of Pua, to determine whether or not it would become part of neighboring Taatiklatar or remain independent. The country was initially a part of Taatiklatar, but voted to gain independence in C.Y. 18. Since then, the population had increased from about 100 to about 650,000, and its residents had long demanded another referendum to acommodate the enormous population change.

The campaign leading up to the vote lasted about five cypriot months; proponents for rejoining Taatiklatar argued that it would be economically beneficial for the at-the-time relatively poor country, and would enable freer movement between it and mainland Taatiklatar, while opponents argued that the country had its own unique culture and government and rejoining Taatiklatar would result in assimilation.

Ultimately, Pua narrowly voted to rejoin Taatiklatar. The rural regions farther away from Taatiklatar and Alakina's sphere of influence largely voted to remain independent, while the Aqaina metropolitan area largely voted to rejoin Taatiklatar.
