On February 16th, 2024, Boilanzandia sued the Callistan government for allegedly prohibiting the Union of Ventura from appealing his ban and permanently banning the nation until further notice as being unconstitutional and a violation of the nations rights. The Minister of Domestic Affairs, Arisyan, was appointed as the defendant by the Head Justice.

The prosecution's case was that the Foreign Policy Reform Bill only prohibited citizens of Callista from partaking in a raid of Callista, and that since Ventura was not a citizen at the time of the government's decision, he was not bound by the Callistan governments laws and therefore committed no crime. This also was the argument regarding his allegations of harassing the nation of Rosartemis and the region of Astoria.

The defendant's case was that the actions of Ventura, even if not done in Callista, warrant the continuation of his permanent ban and him having to wait a year before being able to appeal. The defendant pointed out the many instances in which Ventura stated that he wished to seek revenge on Rosartemis and "send him into the depths of rock and heat". This, the defendant argued, supported the government's decision.

Furthermore, the defendant argued that since no fixed date was given for Ventura so that he could appeal his ban, the government's decision to set it from one year from now (Feb.16, 2025) was simply giving Ventura an official date that he could appeal his permanent ban, which was also given prior to this court case.

Ultimately, the HJ ruled in favour of the defence finding that there was historical precedent for using out of region actions to extend ban appeal dates, and that the ruling was in no way unconstitutional.

After the court case, Ventura sent harassing telegrams to many members of government which ultimately led to the cabinet to withdraw his right to appeal indefinitely, and this decision has not yet since been challenged by any resident of Callista.
