The Republic of Martín de Loyola shortened as Martín de Loyola or Loyola, is a landlocked country in Central Europe, secessed from the United Kingdom after 2021 Berkshire Secession Act. Its divided into 104 civil parishes and 6 districts, and its capital is Ciudad de Martín de Loyola, formerly known as Sandhurst.
History
Martín de Loyola is established where it used to be the Berkshire county, in England. Disagreement with both weak British government and the royal family led the then county to demonstrations of secessionism. The British Parliament voted in favour of the Berkshire county secession passing the 2021 Berkshire Secession Act.
Open Cabildo
One week after the Act was passed, the then Berkshire county convoked an open cabildo to all the literate adult people, both men and women to debate agreements and disagreements on the Act and to discuss the "what-to-do" from then. With the consent of the British government, Berkshire open Cabildo decided to convoke a binding referendum, scheduled for February 28, 2021 at first but re-scheduled to March 7, 2021 due to Hovid-21 endemic.
Referendum
The referendum began at 7:15 am of March 7 2021, with the polls giving a clear favoritism to "secession". The process was given in absolutely peace, there was not any incident and there was the presence of international observers during the process and the final counting. A surprising very low turnout of five percent gave attention of both national and international media.

Aftermath of the referendum: Incidents with pro-Britain groups
The police imprisoned around 300 people, after serious incidents between pro-Britain and pro-seccession groups. The incidents were given mostly in Reading, Wokingham and the then named Sandhurst, now Ciudad de Martín de Loyola. The groups was trying to avoid the signing of the instrument that ratify the referendum results and the independence. The seccessionist were mostly Hispanic people with anti-Britain sentiments who wished a secular independent republic. They were represented by the young student Dante Isaías Bonetto.
