Tweetabix liked to try and use the game in new ways, including developing minigames, creating the [[Viking Modular]] building code, which he described as "The server's most oppressive". He had been a member of both Norlund and [[Yggdrasil]], but was exiled from both in time. He is currently dead and does not intend to return.

On 2 June, Tweet was struggling for storage space in Kannin. He built a new base in the Ansgar canton, and built a huge wooden barrel near the Dutch city of Vlaardingen. This build was entirely unrelated to the coming Secession, as Tweet was not privvy to the inner workings of the Ansgar independence movement.
 
Over the next few days, politics in Norlund became much more complex and Tweet, being a citizen of Kannin as well as a Viking, ended up as a deputation for the Ansgar rebels. Tweet stepped up to the mark in order to ensure that the wording of a referendum form between Ansgar and Norlund as to the ownership of Kannin created "the best deal for Kannin citizens."
==== The Kannin Referendum Debate ====
A lengthytortuous 24-hour Discord debate began between Tweetabix and SirBoss on one side, representing Ansgar Vikings with a stake in Kannin, and Norlish government officials Groxlord and GetSkinny. Tweet argued for:
 
* the inclusion of a third option which would allow Kannin citizens to vote for something other than membership of either state. Despite this option's inclusion in the original proposal, Skinny wouldn't budge on removing it and Tweet wouldn't budge on including it. This significantly lengthened and intensified the debate. Tweet argued that the word "Abstain" would imply dismissal or non-involvement and would effectively disenfranchise people who may have preferred to vote for "another option". ▼
* exclusion of dual citizens from the Kannin referendum, arguing this was against the Norlund constution. This would disenfranchise Okx, who was gathering support in a private "Kannin" Discord server. ▼
* disputed several opinion-based points made by the opposition as attempts at slandering Ansgar's independence efforts. ▼
* Asked for a recess in the debate as Skinny refused to allow Tweet to go to sleep at 3AM UK time. Instead SirBoss was substituted. ▼
 
SirBoss, when replacing Tweet overnight, successfully argued for the inclusion of Cirex22 and Edward Renhorn in the eligible voters register, believing they would be sympathetic to Ansgar's cause. Skinny thanked observer '''Gjum''' for his time- but not Boss or Tweet.<blockquote>Goodness, it's not even 9am and Norlund are already using logical fallacies against us.
 
-Sir Boss </blockquote>As the debate continued through the next day Tweet argued for the inclusion of Tawa on the census, and for Groxlord to stop commenting in the Norlund discord on the ongoing case which he considered pre-campaigning. In particular Grox talked a lot about the Kran Plate going missing and the Viking Helmet. Ironically Tweet learned later that the Kran Plate had in fact been interfered with by the Vikings but he had not been informed of this prior to the debate.
 
▲* the inclusion of a third option which would allow Kannin citizens to vote for something other than membership of either state. Despite this option's inclusion in the original proposal, Skinny wouldn't budge on removing it and Tweet wouldn't budge on including it. This significantly lengthened and intensified the debate. Tweet argued that the word "Abstain" would imply dismissal or non-involvement and would effectively disenfranchise people who may have preferred to vote for "another option".
When the referendum began Tweet began to campaign for Ansgar and the New Norlish Government decided this made him a traitor to the new state and stripped him of his citizenship- though, notably, this had never been a stipulation during the referendum debate, and it would have been difficult for Tweet to campaign at all during the referendum debate. Tweet, now riding astride his second horse, ''Scream Til Ur Hoarse'', then distributed a book written ''before the referendum debate began'' describing the events as he saw it: '''The Secession of Ansgar, Volume One,''' in game titled "Secession Vol 1". Norlish government officials described the book as defamatory, untrue, and a work of the Ansgar state, but Tweet maintained that although the book has been read by the Vikings, they had no part in its writing, although it is worth noting that it was written inside the Longhouse bunker and printed on the Vlaardingen press. Tweet later added a cover to the book in Saren's Roleplay Pack.

-Sir Boss </blockquote>About one day into the referendum, the Vikings decidedtired thatof arguing with the bureaucracy-loving New Norlund Government was becoming more effort than it was worth and realised that the rest of the server, including Kannin citizens, had become tired of the situation. The two parties effectively resolved the situation by the signing of a peace treaty which ceded Kannin land to the new Republic. Tweet was not happy about this. as[[File:TweetabixHouseAnsgar.png|thumb|Tweetabix's hehouse feltin allKannin, his work keepingin the peaceprocess whileof tryingbeing torebuilt getat aAmerssingen, betterAnsgar.]]'''Results dealof forthe KanninSecession:''' was lost.
 
* Tweetabix was stripped of Norlund citizenship.
Although Tweetabix often planned to write Volume Two, describing the Referendum and, later, the Bush War and its fallout, he never did. He moved his Kannin house to Amerssingen in Ansgar, a museum-perfect replica almost to the block. 10 days after the secession, Antea, then a faithful Norlish Guard but remaining sympathetic to Tweet, removed the un-reinforced Viking helmet from Kannin Castle- one of the key talking points in the referendum debate. Norlund also developed a new Kran.
* Antea (at the time on the Norlund side) removed the viking helmet Tweet had built on Kannin Castle.
* Vikings were removed from Norlund NameLayers.
* Norlund introduced a new version of the Kran currency, due to Viking interference with the old Kran master-plate.
* Norlunder bhieex destroyed Norlund Rocks, and it was later replaced by a mansion for Lord Grox.
* Tweet wrote a book called The Secession of Ansgar, Vol 1. Norlish officials called it defamatory, Shamus encouraged its printing. A second volume was never released.
* Tweet moved his Kannin house block-by-block to Amerssingen, an area of Ansgar on the cliff above Vlaardingen.

*SirBoss also gave Tweet the residence of a shop in the Station District of West Kannin in which he runs a small Onboard machine and several shopchests. Now owned by Antea.
*Bhieex gave Tweet shop space at the Carrot Cracke, also in West Kannin, where Tweet runs a larger Onboard machine.
 
== Politics (old) ==
 
==== Infrastructural views ====
Tweetabix favoured keeping the Norlish tax system, citing politicians such as Clement Attlee and Tony Benn, whose “state not charity” mantra led to the funding of the British NHS.
 
He believes Civs should prioritise rail transport over horse transport, which is more readily accessible for wealthy players and creates inequality.<blockquote>If its anything like IRL though, the leafy suburbs (not sure where they are in Norlund tbh) will decide they will be using boats to get everywhere and commandeer more than their fair share of public money for the construction of roads on which to ride their chelsea tractors, sorry boats</blockquote>However Tweet has also supported private railway tunnels for competition purposes.
 
Tweet supports density in buildings, saying there is no need for Civs to replicate the unsustainable Y-axis based suburban model of American cities, especially when Gold Lifts make it more efficient to travel vertically than horizontally.
 
Started the Verian Big Diggers Union out of protest of volunteering to dig in Veria’s “big dig” station build but not having bastion access- and therefore being subject to unsafe working conditions.

==== #Norlectioneering ====
After the death of King Terry, [[Ahrimanne]] approached Tweetabix to breed a rabbit king. [[Norlund#The Death of the King|King Theodore IV]] was successfully bred in a secret Norlund location and presented to the public on 30 April, when Tweet gave a speech parodying Ronald Reagan’s famous age wisecrack:<blockquote>I am not worried about that Old Man Mammoth being a tyrant. No, I am worried because he is old! I am worried that he will die on the throne in a matter of weeks, and then we shall have the second great constitutional crisis of our lifetimes. What Norlund needs is stability. A King that all can trust. A King that all can physically look up to, a King that is, always, always online and never Logs Off. A King that is not a thinker, but a doer, a doer of great jumps and squeaks, a King who understands exactly what our principle export, the humble Carrot, means to us Norls. A King... that is a Rabbit.</blockquote>Tweet then proceeded to paint carrots onto quotes of Eamon de Valera, first President of Ireland.
 
Soon after Jarl Shamus repaired the blast furnace, Tweet decided an active King was better than a constitutional figurehead and began to support Shamus for King.
