However, since then the region has calmed significantly, voting for [[Gaius Selan]] to become [[President of Wiltshire]] in [[3020 Wiltshire Presidential Election\|3020]].

	~~Novanite, Wiltshirian (claimed)\|established~~ = ~~May 6, 3019 (independence declared)\|image1~~ = Walkerton~~.png\|caption1 =~~ Walkerton ~~(red)~~ and the ~~Novanite Federation (white)}}'''Walkerton''' is an area~~ of ~~Doggerland that is currently in disputed ownership~~. The ~~leaders of Walkerton declared independence on May 6, 3019. However~~, the [[~~Novanite Federation~~]] ~~does not recognise the state, considering it to be apart~~ of [[~~Wiltshire~~]].		== Government ==
			The government of Walkerton wasn't first established until 3012 with the Local Government Act which established Walkerton, as well as Juneville and the Alphenland as "administrative regions". This entitled them to take control over certain areas of government such as execution of education policy and local services. The first local elections in 3012 resulted in a Socialist administration, which was opposed to the [[First Jellico Ministry (Wiltshire)\|national Conservative Government]] of [[Edward Jellico]].

	Walkerton is the ~~southern most region~~ of ~~Wiltshire~~ and ~~holds much of it's military and strategic resources. However, the region~~ is ~~considered among~~ the ~~poorest within Wiltshire and has often relied on~~ government ~~assistance to remain economically viable~~. ~~Although, in recent times, the economy has began~~ to ~~pick up and even though~~ the ~~region~~ is ~~still among~~ the ~~poorest~~, ~~it is fast growing and many believe that~~ with ~~independence~~, ~~they can secure an even better economic situation~~.		The government of Walkerton has evolved considerably since its formation as an administrative region. With the Second Local Government Act of 3020, Walkerton is split into two local authorities (Walkerton City and Banks Joint Air Base - Banks Base is administered by the Federal government). In addition to the local authorities, Walkerton is one of the "devolved cities". This means they elect not only the Local Authority, but a city wide government with a mayor. Currently, the Mayor if Rufus Kaine. The Walkerton City Council and the Walkerton Stadtrat are two different entities.

	~~In 3019,~~ Walkerton ~~announced that it wanted to hold a referendum~~ on ~~independence from~~ the ~~Province of Wiltshire and~~ the ~~Novanite Federation~~. The Walkerton ~~separatist movement had been weak for many years however in 3018 the WNP (Walkerton National Party) won a large share of seats in the local authority elections~~. ~~This had many wondering about independence~~, and ~~in 3019 upon the election of Willem Heinberg, the authority announced it's plan to hold a referendum. On May~~ 4~~, the city voted in favour of independence~~. ~~However~~, ~~the Novanite Federal Government refused to recognise the independence of the state~~.		=== '''Walkerton City Council''' ===
			The distinction in name is based on language, with the Local Authority taking the English version. The City Council elects 23 councillors from wards across Walkerton. The current make up being; 10 Liberal Conservatives, 5 Socialists, 2 Labour, 2 Communists and 4 independents. The Council members elect a Local Authority Leader, which is currently Joel Antwerp (LibCon).

	~~== Independence Referendum ==~~		The Banks Base does not have a local authority council as it is administered by the Federal Government as a national military base.
	The ~~region was heavily controlled by the Wiltshire First Party for many years (and~~ a number of prominent Conservative politicians came from Walkerton, including former Prime Minister and Director Samantha Schroder) however, in November 3018 the Walkerton National Party became the largest party in the local authority~~. They did not hold a majority, and so~~ the ~~Wiltshire First Party (in second place) and Conservative Party (in third place) formed an alliance. However, this angered many with lots calling it~~ a 'democratic disaster'. The WNP would be a loud and powerful voice in the Local Authority Council until April 3019 when the leader of the Walkerton National Party, Willem Heinberg, was elected Mayor of Walkerton alongside majority support for the WNP in the Council.

	~~This led~~ to the ~~almost immediate call for~~ a ~~referendum on independence~~, ~~which resulted in~~ the ~~population voting in favour~~ of ~~independence.~~		=== '''Walkerton Stadtrat''' ===
			The Walkerton Stadtrat is the German version of the name and refers to the devolved government of Walkerton. The Mayor of Walkerton, Rufus Kaine, is a member of this and administers health, education, social services and public services throughout the city. The Stadtrat is made up of 48 members as follows;
