Ives Blackwood stripped of Mahusetan citizenship

Lazia, 19 October 2019 — Ives Blackwood, a British micronationalist formerly tied to the Social Democratic Party and known at various times as Kerry Stapleton and as Lyra of Little Skovaji, has had his Mahusetan citizenship revoked, as the National Convention of 2019 continues a clampdown on perceived abuse of Mahusetan citizenship. President Van der Huijsen called the matter "an internal affair of the National Convention".

The revocation, which President Van der Huijsen called an internal affair of the National Convention, came as the body pressed a wider clampdown on what it regarded as abuse of Mahusetan citizenship. Blackwood, a British micronationalist once tied to the Social Democratic Party, was among several figures whose citizenship was withdrawn during the contraction that followed XO’s departure.
