In {{RP|2004}}, Springwind Islands wanted to separate themselves because the Springwind Islanders were fed up with [[Badutwi Kim]]'s claimism, so the [[Springwind Islanders]] together with Boninki Islanders forced Phinbellan's authority to hold a referendum. Extensive preparations were undertaken by the [[Provisional Government of Phinbella|provisional government of Phinbella]] to prepare the Springwind Islanders and Boninki Islanders to vote in their referendum of self-determination. Discussions began in March, with an aim of holding the referendum, in late-{{RP|2004}}. Under guidelines developed by the [[Phinbellan Decolonization Committee]], residents were to be offered three choices: seperate from [[Phinbellan Unincorporated Territory]] and joining [[Phinbella]], became a special city, or great autonomy. The last option was preferred by both the islanders and the Phinbellan government. While the [[Home Island Council]] stated a preference for a traditional communal consensus "vote", the Phinbellan authority insisted on a secret ballot. The referendum was held on 20 November {{RP|2004}}, with all 261 eligible islanders participating, including the [[Flynn-Fletcher family]]: 229 voted for separated autonomous territory, 21 for as a special city, nine for great autonomy, and two failed to indicate a preference. As a result, the Springwind Islands and [[Boninki Islands]] together separate away from the [[Phinbellan Unincorporated Territory]] and became as a part in the [[Straits Settlements]] within [[Phinbella]]. | <!--In {{RP|2004}}, Springwind Islands wanted to separate themselves because the Springwind Islanders were fed up with [[Badutwi Kim]]'s claimism, so the [[Springwind Islanders]] together with Boninki Islanders forced Phinbellan's authority to hold a referendum.
