<p>252138151945043968: </p> <hr /> <div>The North American Arab Spring is a series of anti-bureaucracy secessions from some of the largest North American nations built on months, or in some cases years, of pressure that reached its peak in the later half of August 2026. It officially began in [[Nostra:Acadia|Acadia]], spread to [[America]] in the Midwest and East Coast, and later California with a total nuking. <br /> <br /> In Acadia, the result was the secession of the Micoua community, much of Acadia's active community, to New York on August 15th, 2026 which included the towns of [[Micoua]], Stormhaven, and Thunderdome. On August 19th, 2026 the town of Quail was purchased and joined New York, and the town of Sterling owned by 404aka also joined likewise citing irreconcilable differences with members of the leftover Acadian community.<br /> <br /> In America, after a failed attempt to reform the nation, the City of Chicago seceded which brought with it 25% of the nation's population, the sitting President &amp; Treasurer, several sitting representatives, along with three original founders of the nation. Chicago temporarily joined New York in the evening of August 16, 2026 to gauge the effects and reactions of their departure before committing to a nation. The Chicago leadership later established the nation of [[Chicagoland]] (formerly Heartlands) in the afternoon of August 17, 2026. Due to the unexpected secession of Chicago, the loss of much of the sitting leadership, and in part the quitting of America's former nation holder [[sayerleft]] days before, the presenting losses sent shockwaves throughout America unexpectedly causing most of the towns within the state of New Jersey to leave America for New York along with Cleveland joining Chicagoland. Some American towns within Pennsylvania, notably Pittsburgh, briefly left for New York but ultimately remained due to internal pressure. Philadelphia's intention to secede and make their own nation was leaked days before but nothing came to fruition.<br /> <br /> In California, due to the refusal to give up power along with stagnation and inactivity caused by leaders Ewhy808 and Explosivefirewk, much of the nation left to create Pacific on August 29, 2026. Those who left included the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 9th most populous towns in California, two sitting cabinet members, seven members of the House of Representatives, and among the largest Californian towns by area and activity. As a result California faced major losses, much coming from the total nuking of the nation by shadowcipher and other chancellors which included kicking all towns and draining the nation bank. Most ex-Californian towns joined Pacific while some chose to join Canada.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Background ===<br /> Succeeding [[Terra Nova]], [[Terra Aurora]] was the EarthMC map that lasted from May 2022 to April 2026. [[Terra Nostra]] is the newest and current EarthMC map which started on April 17 2026. This section will summarize the past of the involved Terra Nostra nations as much of their history impacted their current day decisions.<br /> <br /> ==== Terra Aurora Vermont ====<br /> [[Vermont|Aurora Vermont]] was a small democracy on Terra Aurora that emerged in 2024. Much of the Acadian community originated from Aurora Vermont including locally notable players like Farosh_, Xeocas, KellyIsANiceLady, Princeling7, and other players from Nostra Montreal. Vermont's history was full of turbulence and drama especially in 2024 when they were criticized for being too submissive to [[Texas]] in the [[Great American War|Great North American War]], and failed to follow agreements made with the [[Organization of Free Nations]] of which they were a primary member of. Later in 2024 a minority of Vermonters left to Cascadia after being stressed and tired over Princeling7 consolidating power and refusing to reform the nation. In early 2025, [[House of Wintour|the Wintours]], who later founded [[Nostra:New York (Nation)|Nostra New York]], joined Vermont in an effort to reform it into a stable and successful nation. In February 2025 unbeknownst to the rest of Vermont, Princeling7 surrendered in their war against [[Illinois]] which was intensely controversial and even caused many original Vermonters to resign out of rage or shame. The power dynamic quickly shifted and put the Wintours in control of Vermont. Later after a referendum in both nations, Vermont merged into Cascadia in the later half of 2025 which included both original Vermonters and the Wintours.<br /> <br /> ==== Terra Aurora Cascadia ====<br /> Much of the Acadian, American, and New York community, as well as a small minority of Californians, later came from [[Cascadia|Aurora Cascadia]] between 2024-2025 and 2022-2023 for some Americans. This time in Aurora Cascadia is crucial to the events in the North American Arab Spring as it exposed these communities first hand to the benefits and negatives of a faithful large-scale democracy. The benefits were higher activity, longevity, and a large community, Cascadia consistently was the most active nation for years with an average 30 people online a day. But there were also many negatives such as bureaucracy, intense arguments and rifts caused by politics, complaints about slow reactions to national issues, constant confusion with the government system from new players, and notably the lack of a competitive nation shop during all four years of Terra Aurora. These negatives, along with other drama, divided the Cascadian community towards the end of Terra Aurora between primarily two main groups. One group was associated with inactivity and being content with the status-quo or more intense bureaucracy, and the other group was associated with activity, community building, and reforms. This division caused the Cascadian community to separate into multiple planned nations for Terra Nostra which at first included Cariboo, Acadia, and New York as the largest nations, and for the most part most of the reform group filtered into Cariboo and New York while most of the status-quo group filtered into Acadia. Due to the proximity of the reset, in 2026 most in-game drama was swept under the rug and previously conflicting communities had an easier time mixing together. But when Mjap888, planned nation holder of Cariboo, consolidated power and introduced bureaucracy into the planned Cariboo nation and then later rage quit when confronted about it, most of Cariboo left to join the Acadia plans which included a lot of the reform community, recreating the same conflict as in Cascadia with the same two large groups.<br /> <br /> Official plans for Chicago, and a consequential Chicagoland or Illinois nation, were conceived as early as February 2026 by [[Setrus]]. The plans were meant to be moderately critical of Cascadia, advertising a radically less bureaucratic nation with community building and activity at the forefront. In March these plans were later merged into the plans for America (then Midwest) when [[sayerleft]] discussed the idea with Setrus, who accepted on the basis of having access to a larger group of founders with a higher likelihood of creating Chicago. In the infancy of America's planning, Chicago was floated around as the top choice for the nation's capital due to its notability and central location within the United States. However when sayerleft, the longtime nation holder for Aurora Cascadia, floated the idea of being nation leader for America, Milwaukee became the capital instead after Setrus refused giving up Chicago to sayerleft.<br /> <br /> === Timeline of events leading up to and following the North American Arab Spring ===<br /> <br /> ==== April 2026 ====<br /> America was founded on April 19th, 2026 at 2:10 PM EST.<br /> <br /> California was founded on April 19th, 2026 at 11:13 PM EST.<br /> <br /> Acadia was founded on April 21, 2026 at 8:33 PM EST.<br /> <br /> ==== May 2026 ====<br /> <br /> ==== June 2026 ====<br /> June 24: In America, the founders behind Memphis which included Knowlton, Kayleemar, and friends left after feeling trapped and powerless due to the ironically named [[Memphis Accords]] as well as contempt towards the general incompetence and bureaucracy brewing in the nation. They created Kaktovik and later gained ownership of the Alaska nation.<br /> <br /> ==== July 2026 ====<br /> July 3: In Chicago, plans for a Chicagoland nation were revived in response to the growing pressure between the status-quo and the reform sides of the nation. These plans were temporarily placed on hold in favor of attempting to reform America.<br /> <br /> ==== August 2026 ====<br /> Early August: In Chicago, as a last ditch effort to reform the nation plans to draft a national referendum to change the capital of America to Chicago were solidified. If it failed, Chicago planned to peacefully secede. Construction of a mega shop also started in Chicago in preparation for becoming a nation capital.<br /> <br /> August 15: In Acadia, the Micoua community and others secede to New York. <br /> <br /> In America, due to unrelated circumstances sayerleft decided to quit EarthMC and consequently stepped down as being nation holder of America. After hearing about Chicago's plans for a national referendum on a capital change, sayerleft personally supported the idea and drafted a resolution to Congress which would ceremonially confirm the move. The resolution ended up barely failing with 6 no votes, 5 yes votes, and 2 abstentions due to unsubstantiated concerns around America becoming a Chicago-ran city state. As a compromise to prevent America from becoming divided, Bachinuni was chosen by sayerleft to become nation holder and mayor of Milwaukee.<br /> <br /> August 16: In America, Chicago follows through with their plan secede but temporarily joins New York. In response, the entirety of New Jersey secedes to New York.<br /> <br /> August 17: In Chicago, the nation of Heartlands is created (later renamed to Chicagoland). In the following days the American towns Cleveland, Dollywood, and Normalsville would end up joining.<br /> <br /> August 29: In California, the nation is nuked and robbed by shadowcipher and other chancellors. Soon after they create the nation of Pacific and announce their coup.<br /> <br /> August 31: Pacific announces that their coup was successful and that they will retain all diplomatic relations and borders from California.

However when sayerleft, the longtime nation holder for Aurora Cascadia, floated the idea of being nation leader for America, Milwaukee became the capital instead after Setrus refused giving up Chicago to sayerleft.<br /> <br /> ==== Terra Aurora California ====<br /> <br /> ==== Terra Aurora Texas ====<br /> <br /> === Timeline of events leading up to and following the North American Arab Spring ===<br /> <br /> ==== April 2026 ====<br /> America was founded on April 19th, 2026 at 2:10 PM EST.<br /> <br /> California was founded on April 19th, 2026 at 11:13 PM EST.<br /> <br /> Acadia was founded on April 21, 2026 at 8:33 PM EST.<br /> <br /> ==== May 2026 ====<br /> <br /> ==== June 2026 ====<br /> June 24: In America, the founders behind Memphis which included Knowlton, Kayleemar, and friends left after feeling trapped and powerless due to the ironically named [[Memphis Accords]] as well as contempt towards the general incompetence and bureaucracy brewing in the nation. They created Kaktovik and later gained ownership of the Alaska nation.<br /> <br /> ==== July 2026 ====<br /> July 3: In Chicago, plans for a Chicagoland nation were revived in response to the growing pressure between the status-quo and the reform sides of the nation. These plans were temporarily placed on hold in favor of attempting to reform America.<br /> <br /> ==== August 2026 ====<br /> Early August: In Chicago, as a last ditch effort to reform the nation plans to draft a national referendum to change the capital of America to Chicago were solidified. If it failed, Chicago planned to peacefully secede. Construction of a mega shop also started in Chicago in preparation for becoming a nation capital.<br /> <br /> August 15: In Acadia, the Micoua community and others secede to New York. <br /> <br /> In America, due to unrelated circumstances sayerleft decided to quit EarthMC and consequently stepped down as being nation holder of America. After hearing about Chicago's plans for a national referendum on a capital change, sayerleft personally supported the idea and drafted a resolution to Congress which would ceremonially confirm the move. The resolution ended up barely failing with 6 no votes, 5 yes votes, and 2 abstentions due to unsubstantiated concerns around America becoming a Chicago-ran city state. As a compromise to prevent America from becoming divided, Bachinuni was chosen by sayerleft move to Milwaukee and become nation holder and mayor of Milwaukee.<br /> <br /> August 16: In America, Chicago follows through with their plan secede but temporarily joins New York. In response, the entirety of New Jersey secedes to New York.<br /> <br /> August 17: In Chicago, the nation of Heartlands is created (later renamed to Chicagoland). In the following days the American towns Cleveland, Dollywood, and Normalsville would end up joining.<br /> <br /> August 29: In California, the nation is nuked and robbed by shadowcipher and other chancellors. Soon after they create the nation of Pacific and announce their coup.<br /> <br /> August 31: Pacific announces that their coup was successful and that they will retain all diplomatic relations and borders from California. They recognize the rump state of California/San Francisco as a Pacific city-state dependency governed by Pacific.<br /> <br /> '''September 2026'''<br /> <br /> September 1: New York and Chicagoland unite the New York, Micoua, and Chicagoland communities under the Civic Commonwealth.<br /> <br /> == Summary of conflicts by nation ==<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+<br /> !Nation<br /> !Reason for Conflict<br /> !Date<br /> !Outcome<br /> !Losses<br /> !Situation<br /> |-<br /> |[[Nostra:Acadia|Acadia]]<br /> |Bureaucracy, presence of hostile members in the community, general national focus on bureaucratic politics over fostering community and friendship<br /> |15 August 2026-ongoing<br /> |Secession of Micoua, Stormhaven, Thunderdome, Lakewood, and Sterling to New York<br /> <br /> |~60+ residents (~12% population), 5+ towns<br /> |'''Major Secession'''<br /> |-<br /> |[[America]]<br /> |Bureaucracy and resulting stagnation in national projects, general incompetence<br /> |16 August 2026-ongoing<br /> |Creation of [[Chicagoland]]<br /> Secession of Chicago, Cleveland, Dollywood, and Normalsville to Chicagoland<br /> <br /> Secession of the State of New Jersey (Hoebuck, New Jersey, Orchallia, Pine Barrens, Egg Harbor, Cape May, Wildwood Crest) to New York<br /> |315+ residents (~25% population), 11+ towns<br /> |'''Major Secession'''<br /> |-<br /> |California<br /> |California leaders Ewhy808 &amp; Explosivefirewk causing stagnation and inactivity, their refusal to give up power<br /> |29 August 2026<br /> |Creation of [[Nostra:Pacific|Pacific]]<br /> Total nuking of California by shadowcipher &amp; other chancellors, including kicking all towns and draining the nation bank<br /> Secession of almost all towns including LosAngeles, California, Fresno, Shady Sands, Santa Barbara, Malibu, and Monterey to Pacific<br /> <br /> Declaration of war on California by Pacific<br /> |240+ residents (~86% population), 70 towns (~96% towns)<br /> Total drain of the nation bank<br /> |'''Total Collapse &amp; War'''<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Lasting Effects ==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Conflicts_(Nostra)]]</div>

<p>252138151945043968: </p> <hr /> <div>The North American Arab Spring is a series of anti-bureaucracy secessions from some of the largest North American nations built on months, or in some cases years, of pressure that reached its peak in the later half of August 2026. It officially began in [[Nostra:Acadia|Acadia]], spread to [[America]] in the Midwest and East Coast, and later California with a total nuking. <br /> <br /> In Acadia, the result was the secession of the Micoua community, much of Acadia's active community, to New York on August 15th, 2026 which included the towns of [[Micoua]], Stormhaven, and Thunderdome. On August 19th, 2026 the town of Quail was purchased and joined New York, and the town of Sterling owned by 404aka also joined likewise citing irreconcilable differences with members of the leftover Acadian community.<br /> <br /> In America, after a failed attempt to reform the nation, the City of Chicago seceded which brought with it 25% of the nation's population, the sitting President &amp; Treasurer, several sitting representatives, along with three original founders of the nation. Chicago temporarily joined New York in the evening of August 16, 2026 to gauge the effects and reactions of their departure before committing to a nation. The Chicago leadership later established the nation of [[Chicagoland]] (formerly Heartlands) in the afternoon of August 17, 2026. Due to the unexpected secession of Chicago, the loss of much of the sitting leadership, and in part the quitting of America's former nation holder [[sayerleft]] days before, the presenting losses sent shockwaves throughout America unexpectedly causing most of the towns within the state of New Jersey to leave America for New York along with Cleveland joining Chicagoland. Some American towns within Pennsylvania, notably Pittsburgh, briefly left for New York but ultimately remained due to internal pressure. Philadelphia's intention to secede and make their own nation was leaked days before but nothing came to fruition.<br /> <br /> In California, due to the refusal to give up power along with stagnation and inactivity caused by leaders Ewhy808 and Explosivefirewk, much of the nation left to create Pacific on August 29, 2026. Those who left included the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 9th most populous towns in California, two sitting cabinet members, seven members of the House of Representatives, and among the largest Californian towns by area and activity. As a result California faced major losses, much coming from the total nuking of the nation by shadowcipher and other chancellors which included kicking all towns and draining the nation bank. Most ex-Californian towns joined Pacific while some chose to join Canada.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Background ===<br /> Succeeding [[Terra Nova]], [[Terra Aurora]] was the EarthMC map that lasted from May 2022 to April 2026. [[Terra Nostra]] is the newest and current EarthMC map which started on April 17 2026. This section will summarize the past of the involved Terra Nostra nations as much of their history impacted their current day decisions.<br /> <br /> ==== Terra Aurora Vermont ====<br /> [[Vermont|Aurora Vermont]] was a small democracy on Terra Aurora that emerged in 2024. Much of the Acadian community originated from Aurora Vermont including locally notable players like Farosh_, Xeocas, KellyIsANiceLady, Princeling7, and other players from Nostra Montreal. Vermont's history was full of turbulence and drama especially in 2024 when they were criticized for being too submissive to [[Texas]] in the [[Great American War|Great North American War]], and failed to follow agreements made with the [[Organization of Free Nations]] of which they were a primary member of. Later in 2024 a minority of Vermonters left to Cascadia after being stressed and tired over Princeling7 consolidating power and refusing to reform the nation. In early 2025, [[House of Wintour|the Wintours]], who later founded [[Nostra:New York (Nation)|Nostra New York]], joined Vermont in an effort to reform it into a stable and successful nation. In February 2025 unbeknownst to the rest of Vermont, Princeling7 surrendered in their war against [[Illinois]] which was intensely controversial and even caused many original Vermonters to resign out of rage or shame. The power dynamic quickly shifted and put the Wintours in control of Vermont. Later after a referendum in both nations, Vermont merged into Cascadia in the later half of 2025 which included both original Vermonters and the Wintours.<br /> <br /> ==== Terra Aurora Cascadia ====<br /> Much of the Acadian, American, and New York community, as well as a small minority of Californians, later came from [[Cascadia|Aurora Cascadia]] between 2024-2025 and 2022-2023 for some Americans. This time in Aurora Cascadia is crucial to the events in the North American Arab Spring as it exposed these communities first hand to the benefits and negatives of a faithful large-scale democracy. The benefits were higher activity, longevity, and a large community, Cascadia consistently was the most active nation for years with an average 30 people online a day. But there were also many negatives such as bureaucracy, intense arguments and rifts caused by politics, complaints about slow reactions to national issues, constant confusion with the government system from new players, and notably the lack of a competitive nation shop during all four years of Terra Aurora. These negatives, along with other drama, divided the Cascadian community towards the end of Terra Aurora between primarily two main groups. One group was associated with inactivity and being content with the status-quo or more intense bureaucracy, and the other group was associated with activity, community building, and reforms. This division caused the Cascadian community to separate into multiple planned nations for Terra Nostra which at first included Cariboo, Acadia, and New York as the largest nations, and for the most part most of the reform group filtered into Cariboo and New York while most of the status-quo group filtered into Acadia. Due to the proximity of the reset, in 2026 most in-game drama was swept under the rug and previously conflicting communities had an easier time mixing together. But when Mjap888, planned nation holder of Cariboo, consolidated power and introduced bureaucracy into the planned Cariboo nation and then later rage quit when confronted about it, most of Cariboo left to join the Acadia plans which included a lot of the reform community, recreating the same conflict as in Cascadia with the same two large groups.<br /> <br /> Official plans for Chicago, and a consequential Chicagoland or Illinois nation, were conceived as early as February 2026 by [[Setrus]]. The plans were meant to be moderately critical of Cascadia, advertising a radically less bureaucratic nation with community building and activity at the forefront. In March these plans were later merged into the plans for America (then Midwest) when [[sayerleft]] discussed the idea with Setrus, who accepted on the basis of having access to a larger group of founders with a higher likelihood of creating Chicago. In the infancy of America's planning, Chicago was floated around as the top choice for the nation's capital due to its notability and central location within the United States.

New York is the 21st most populous nation globally, and 5th on the North American continent. <br /> <br /> The City &amp; State of New York operates as a technocratic city based council discarding traditional state and federal level structures for a more localized one. Authority is vested in the Chairman, Deputy Mayors, and City Council.

For a time, this made New York City the largest town by townblocks on the server. Mayorality was transferred to wishful_ once joined.<br /> <br /> The Nation of New York was then founded on April 23rd, 2026 by wishful_ to an audience of 15 discord guests and 15 in-game guests at the then recently completed Statue of Liberty, which had not fully oxidized by this point. Notable foreign individuals who attended the founding were Ahea, Dracnoian, Bergenline, melvinm4, BlueRedStone_, EmpressCorgo, Princeling7, MetroMapleLeaf9 and mikesworldus. The nation creation was made possible through a 1.3k donation by Joigrama.<br /> <br /> On May 3rd 2026, the State of New York as a governmental entity was created when the town of Hudson, led by Griff___ joined New York.

It has a geography characterized by the Great Plains and the front range of the Rocky Mountains in the west, the Great Lakes and the Ohio River Valley in the nation's heartland, and extending through the Appalachian uplands of Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia to the Mid-Atlantic coast of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In addition to its contiguous territory, the nation holds several non-contiguous exclaves, including strategic coastal corridors along the Chesapeake Bay and New England. With a total active population of 1,152 as of August 4, 2026, America is the most-populous nation in the world, constituting over a third of the population of North America. The capital of the Commonwealth is Milwaukee, with its largest cities being [[Chicago]], Philadelphia, and Fort Wayne. It is the third oldest nation in North America.<br /> <br /> The Commonwealth of America operates as a unitary social democratic republic under the Commonwealth Constitution, with executive authority vested in a president directly elected on a monthly basis. The president of the Commonwealth is one of the most visible and influential elected political offices on Terra Nostra. The Constitution establishes a separation of powers among legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Congress is the unicameral national legislature consisting of the House of Representatives, elected via proportional representation. The Commonwealth is divided into 27 regions for administrative and statistical purposes. <br /> <br /> A developed country, America consistently ranks high in measures of activity, wealth, and opportunity. It is the third-largest economy on the server, with relatively low wealth inequality. Shaped by many different communities and groups, America is a diverse nation, and is a member of various international agreements such as the Memphis Accords serving to maintain peace in Eastern North America.<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> While America's short name is common between several of its nearby neighbors, such as the recently seceded USA based in Delaware and the United States based in Atlanta, its official name does not begin with the prefix &quot;United States&quot;, as it does not possess a federal system. Instead, it is officially the ''Commonwealth'' of America due to its roots as a social democratic state.<br /> <br /> People from the Commonwealth of America are typically referred to as Americans, however sometimes the term &quot;Commonwealther&quot; is used, either to distinguish them from other nations that use the same demonym, or as a pejorative, such as during the [[Nostra:USA-American War|war between the Commonwealth and the USA]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> ''TO BE WRITTEN''<br /> <br /> === USA-American War ===<br /> {{Main article|Nostra:USA-American War}}<br /> <br /> == Government ==<br /> According to its constitution, the Commonwealth of America is a self described &quot;unitary, constitutional, presidential, and social democratic republic&quot; with a government system that takes place from several pre-existing democratic states on the server such as [[Terra Aurora]]'s [[Cascadia]]. Despite its official unitary nature, municipalities within the country have significant rights to govern themselves as long as their governance does not conflict with laws set by America's national government.<br /> <br /> A presidential state, the Commonwealth has a three-way separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and juridicial branches of government. The legislative branch, Congress, is unicameral, consisting of a sole House of Representatives. The 15 members of the House of Representatives are directly elected from three electoral districts: Eastern, Great Lakes, and Western, with each district having a proportional amount of seats to its part of the national population (albeit at a minimum of two representatives per district). The executive branch consists of the Executive Council, led by the president, who is the head of state and chief of government of the Commonwealth of America.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Nostra]]<br /> [[Category:Nations (Nostra)]]<br /> [[Category:America (Nostra)| ]]</div>

It has a geography characterized by the Great Plains and the front range of the Rocky Mountains in the west, the Great Lakes and the Ohio River Valley in the nation's heartland, and extending through the Appalachian uplands of Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia to the Mid-Atlantic coast of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In addition to its contiguous territory, the nation holds several non-contiguous exclaves, including strategic coastal corridors along the Chesapeake Bay and New England. With a total active population of 1,152 as of August 4, 2026, America is the most-populous nation in the world, constituting over a third of the population of North America. The capital of the Commonwealth is Milwaukee, with its largest cities being Chicago, Philadelphia, and Fort Wayne. It is the third oldest nation in North America.<br /> <br /> The Commonwealth of America operates as a unitary social democratic republic under the Commonwealth Constitution, with executive authority vested in a president directly elected on a monthly basis. The president of the Commonwealth is one of the most visible and influential elected political offices on Terra Nostra. The Constitution establishes a separation of powers among legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Congress is the unicameral national legislature consisting of the House of Representatives, elected via proportional representation. The Commonwealth is divided into 27 regions for administrative and statistical purposes. <br /> <br /> A developed country, America consistently ranks high in measures of activity, wealth, and opportunity. It is the third-largest economy on the server, with relatively low wealth inequality. Shaped by many different communities and groups, America is a diverse nation, and is a member of various international agreements such as the Memphis Accords serving to maintain peace in Eastern North America.<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> While America's short name is common between several of its nearby neighbors, such as the recently seceded USA based in Delaware and the United States based in Atlanta, its official name does not begin with the prefix &quot;United States&quot;, as it does not possess a federal system. Instead, it is officially the ''Commonwealth'' of America due to its roots as a social democratic state.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> ''TO BE WRITTEN''<br /> <br /> == Government ==<br /> According to its constitution, the Commonwealth of America is a self described &quot;unitary, constitutional, presidential, and social democratic republic&quot; with a government system that takes place from several pre-existing democratic states on the server such as [[Terra Aurora]]'s [[Cascadia]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Nostra]]<br /> [[Category:Nations (Nostra)]]<br /> [[Category:America (Nostra)| ]]</div>

Capitol Building, or the Cascadian Capitol, is the seat of the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Cascadian House of Representatives]], the legislature of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It is located in the north of [[Olympia]] proper, between Marathon Park and the Pacific Ocean. The site is property of the national government, managed by the [[Architect of the Capitol]] who is responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the overall complex.<br /> <br /> The original building was designed by [[Setrus]] on March 21, 2023 and completed in-game on April 18, 2023 by himself and [[HibachiBeamz]]. In early 2025 during the height of [[Project Olympia]], [[Moxie|Moxicodone]], the project head, commissioned Setrus to design a plaza expansion, Salish Square, to the south of the original building to be used for proper public gatherings and events, which was then constructed in game by [[HawaiianDPG|TheeHawaiian]]. <br /> <br /> Two wings, or halls, connected in the center by a rotunda make up a bulk of the capitol complex. In the wings are the offices for the House of Representatives and Architect of the Capitol. The rotunda acts as the House Chamber, with seats for all members of the legislature facing a dais holding seats for the [[Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Speaker]], [[Clerk of the Cascadia House of Representatives|House Clerk]], and [[Dean of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Dean]]. Ironically there have been almost no instances of legislative sessions within the capitol, instead Discord is favored. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Earlier Plans ===<br /> WIP <br /> <br /> === Early 2023 ===<br /> On March 10, 2023 a build contest opened for the capitol, applicants had to design a building that fit within a four by four chunk zone on the coast of Olympia. Two applicants submitted similar designs, Setrus proposed a design based on the real life United States Capitol and Washington State Capitol, notably it was intended to be built outside the intended zone instead being built in place of the uncompleted national museum where the building sits today. [[Arathorn52]] proposed a design similar to the Terra Nova Cascadia capitol building, with taller walls and a larger central rotunda. The contest had 23 total votes, with 22 voting for Setrus' design, and as such construction started on April 15 after minor design changes.<br /> <br /> The building was infamous for its heavy quartz usage, requiring a nationwide quartz drive and favored deals with Cascadian suppliers. Construction was done primarily by Setrus who then employed HibachiBeamz later on to construct the interior. On April 18, two days into the Presidency of [[AghastBlock]], the capitol was finished and considered usable with its first major use not coming until the presidential inauguration of Setrus and subsequent firework shows on May 21. It is worthy to note that a multi-hour long argument occurred between Setrus and Moxie over the decision of replacing the spruce hedges around the capitol with azalea leaves, Moxie was pro-azalea and Setrus was pro-spruce.<br /> <br /> === Early 2026 Redesign, Controversy, and Attempted Assassination ===<br /> On February 3rd, 2026, Setrus drafted a complete redesign for the capitol interior and later the same day construction started. With the support of [[Flippizzacake]], the backing of Olympia Mayor [[sayerleft]], and 500 gold from the [[Cascadia Department of Interior|Department of the Interior]], the capitol interior was gutted and rebuilt within 24 hours with construction officially finishing on the night of February 4th. Hours before the culmination of construction, Olympia City Executive [[Xeocas]] showed up on site standing just outside the entrance, staring at the visitors and Setrus. Xeocas quickly became enraged about the redesign of the capitol interior happening without his permission. Conflicting the belief that the Architect of the Capitol and national government had authority over him on capitol grounds, it is recorded that Xeocas said, &quot;If you actually read it [the National Capital City of Olympia Act], you'd see that Olympia has elected to form a more complex form of government and therefore must go through the government processes we have set-out via ordinances. It's Oh so clear.&quot; In which Setrus responded, &quot;well ur wrong buckeroo, now let me continue.&quot; Soon after Xeocas, as [[Thurston County]], launched a lawsuit against Setrus as well as Flippizzacake, and [[ka_tie]] alleging their involvement, although later charges were dropped for the two.<br /> <br /> During the morning of February 5th, 2026, fourteen shots rang out from the [[Alliance Steakhouse]] on the fourth floor of the capitol. House Speaker [[Mjap04]] was found in critical condition in his booth but the perpetrator was nowhere to be seen. News quickly spread about the violent event with the Associated Counties of Vermont officially putting out a statement alleging that the shooting could be linked to an underground Israeli-[[Havaiki]] cabal led by [[FieryMatter]] and Xeocas, however as of writing this is considered a conspiracy and there is no official suspect or anyone in custody.<br /> <br /> === Modern Day ===<br /> Since its construction, the capitol has been rooted in Cascadian culture, its presence existing in meme and political posters and videos across the years. It has also been the target of several threats by Cascadian adversaries such as the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], [[Texas]], and [[Aurora:California|California]]. The town of [[Bakhmut]] was made largely with the goal of eventually overclaiming Olympia and the capitol, however failed to do so before the removal of overclaim. During the height of the [[Great American War]], Texan officials stormed the capitol building and considered it under their control, however were soon trapped within after the entrance was sealed.<br /> <br /> There have been multiple redesigns and expansions of the capitol complex over the years, including the addition of the Salish Square plaza in 2025 and the 2026 full interior and partial exterior redesign.<br /> <br /> == Interior ==<br /> <br /> === Capitol Rotunda ===<br /> The Capitol rotunda is the central and main room in the capitol where, in an unorthodox fashion, the Cascadian legislature holds sessions within for the purposes of aura maxxing. On the rotunda floor there are 22 seats for representatives facing a dais with seats for the speaker, clerk, dean, and a reserved seat for any non-voting member such as the [[President of Cascadia|President]] or sponsors. Above, the rotunda is capped by an all-quartz dome based on the real life United States Capitol dome. The base of the dome features Cascadian town banners ordered by historical age of the town, starting with [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] and moving clockwise from oldest to youngest; this is a tradition held since the construction of the capitol, first appearing on the northern walls of what was a square room below the dome. The fourth floor of the capitol features a railing where the public may look down on legislative sessions. The top of the dome ironically features a rendition of the logo of [[QT]], a joked Cascadian deep state made by pasting the common suffix &quot;QT&quot; of notable Cascadians [[EstiQT]] and formally SayerQT, onto the logo of the real life secular fraternal organization, Freemasonry. <br /> <br /> === East and West Wings ===<br /> Since there is only one legislative body in Cascadia, the House of Representatives, both wings hold offices for them. Between both of the wings there are 31 rooms total, 28 reserved for representatives including dedicated offices for the Speaker of the House, the House Clerk, and the Architect of the Capitol. On the fourth floor, the west wing holds 2 rooms for miscellaneous use, and the east wing features a customized Alliance Steakhouse location.<br /> <br /> === Fourth Floor ===<br /> The highest floors in the capitol building include extra rooms in the west and an Alliance Steakhouse in the east. Visitors may walk outside on the roof of the capitol overlooking the city of Olympia and much of the metro.<br /> <br /> == Exterior ==<br /> <br /> === Salish Square ===<br /> Included in Salish Square, also called the Capitol Plaza, are five flower gardens separated by five narrow streets that feed into a central roundabout. It is ordained by four Douglas Fir trees, a species notably on the flag of Cascadia, with a stone statue at the center of sayerleft holding the flag with reverence.<br /> <br /> == Major Events ==<br /> The Capitol and the surrounding grounds have played host to several events in Cascadian History, including the 10th Presidential Inauguration, various presidential addresses, Freedom Day 2025, the November 2025 Halloween Event, the February 2026 Presidential Debate, the March 2026 Farewell Cascadia Event, and other unofficial events.</div>

<p>252138151945043968: </p> <hr /> <div>'''&quot;I Do Not Give A Shit&quot;''' and '''&quot;Whip the God-Damn Votes&quot;''' were two statements made by then-President of [[Aurora:Texas|Texas]] Bill &quot;Rocky&quot; Moor on June 11, 2024, during diplomatic talks between the Government of Texas and representatives of the purported mega-group known as the &quot;Queer Communocracy of Oklahoma&quot;. This event occurred shortly before the escalation of hostilies between Cascadia and Texas leading to the [[Aurora:Texas - Cascadian War of 2024|Great American War]], a conflict primarily fought between [[Cascadia]] and Texas, along with their respective allied belligerents.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Texas had declared war on Cascadia on December 18, 2023, in support of the Reformed Republic of Cascadia, an exiled government based in Texas that claimed legitimacy and sovereignty over the Republic of Cascadia. While the conflict had remained dormant since the ban of Texan King [[North_Paso]], Cascadian-Texas relations were not positive. In order to inhibit Texan aggression and incursion into Cascadia, the [[Vice President of Cascadia]], [[Setrus]], orchestrated a psychological operation (psyop) by fabricating the existence of a group called the &quot;Queer Communocracy of Oklahoma&quot;, from Setrus's own multi-hundred member geopolitical discord server, purporting intent to settle in Oklahoma, much to the dismay of Texan officials. The aim was to divert Texas's resources and attention towards a potential secession movement in Oklahoma.<br /> <br /> == The Diplomatic Talk ==<br /> Setrus successfully convinced the Texas government to engage in diplomatic discussions regarding the supposed secessionist group. A private voice chat was arranged between President Moor, Setrus, and his friend Thorn_Ike, Setrus secretly recorded the conversation.<br /> <br /> During the discussion, Setrus and Thorn_Ike presented a proposal concerning the potential settlement of the &quot;Queer Communocracy of Oklahoma&quot;, to which Moor proposed that the Oklahoman settlers vote on moving to a different place, such as Colorado. In support of this proposal, President Moor made [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbLnISyGsk his now-infamous statement:]&lt;blockquote&gt;''&quot;Good, and if it don't work with your people, '''I do not give a shit'''. If it's a democracy, '''whip the goddamn votes'''. Call a vote, call another one, and call another one, until it passes. And if it don't pass, don't come to me with that as an excuse. '''I do not give a shit'''.&quot;''&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Reception and Impact ==<br /> The recording of Moor's statement quickly spread, becoming a source of amusement for many who heard it. Several factors contributed to its humorous reception:<br /> <br /> * Moor's alleged strong southern drawl, which some claim is affected, exaggerated, or not real.<br /> * The President's serious demeanor and attempt to project a tough persona, which many found incongruous with the situation.<br /> * The blunt and repetitive nature of the phrase ''&quot;I do not give a shit&quot;''.<br /> <br /> As a result of its widespread circulation, the quote became well-known, particularly among OFN (Organization of Free Nations) member states. It soon became inextricably associated with President Moor's public image and political style.<br /> <br /> == Legacy ==<br /> The ''&quot;I Do Not Give A Shit&quot;'' comment, as well as the ''&quot;Whip the Goddamn Votes&quot;'' comment have since become a part of the political lexicon of the EarthMC democratic world. It is often referenced in political discussions, memes, and even in formal diplomatic contexts as a shorthand for uncompromising or dismissive attitudes in negotiations.<br /> <br /> Some political analysts have argued that this incident, while initially embarrassing for the Texas administration, ultimately served to reinforce President Moor's image as a no-nonsense leader among his supporters. Critics, however, point to it as an example of diplomatic insensitivity and a lack of nuance in Texas's foreign policy approach in the period leading up to and during the ensuing Great American War.<br /> <br /> The incident also shed light on the effectiveness of psychological operations in the context of the Great American War, demonstrating how fabricated internal conflicts could be used to manipulate diplomatic relations between warring states.<br /> <br /> The meme and cultural impact of the quotes continue to persist to this day. On February 23, 2025, in a Vermont voice channel where former president of Vermont Dom_Innovation showed his feet and made some sort of unappealing looking meal in an extremely disorganized kitchen, upon request, Moor re-enacted the quote, to much acclaim.</div>

Capitol Building, or the Cascadian Capitol, is the seat of the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Cascadian House of Representatives]], the legislature of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It is located in the north of [[Olympia]] proper, between Marathon Park and the Pacific Ocean. The site is property of the national government, managed by the [[Architect of the Capitol]] who is responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the overall complex.<br /> <br /> The original building was designed by [[Setrus]] on March 21, 2023 and completed in-game on April 18, 2023 by himself and [[HibachiBeamz]]. In early 2025 during the height of [[Project Olympia]], [[Moxie|Moxicodone]], the project head, commissioned Setrus to design a plaza expansion, Salish Square, to the south of the original building to be used for proper public gatherings and events, which was then constructed in game by [[HawaiianDPG|TheeHawaiian]]. <br /> <br /> Two wings, or halls, connected in the center by a rotunda make up a bulk of the capitol complex. In the wings are the offices for the House of Representatives and Architect of the Capitol. The rotunda acts as the House Chamber, with seats for all members of the legislature facing a dais holding seats for the [[Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Speaker]], [[Clerk of the Cascadia House of Representatives|House Clerk]], and [[Dean of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Dean]]. Ironically there have been almost no instances of legislative sessions within the capitol, instead Discord is favored. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Earlier Plans ===<br /> WIP <br /> <br /> === Early 2023 ===<br /> On March 10, 2023 a build contest opened for the capitol, applicants had to design a building that fit within a four by four chunk zone on the coast of Olympia. Two applicants submitted similar designs, Setrus proposed a design based on the real life United States Capitol and Washington State Capitol, notably it was intended to be built outside the intended zone instead being built in place of the uncompleted national museum where the building sits today. [[Arathorn52]] proposed a design similar to the Terra Nova Cascadia capitol building, with taller walls and a larger central rotunda. The contest had 23 total votes, with 22 voting for Setrus' design, and as such construction started on April 15 after minor design changes.<br /> <br /> The building was infamous for its heavy quartz usage, requiring a nationwide quartz drive and favored deals with Cascadian suppliers. Construction was done primarily by Setrus who then employed HibachiBeamz later on to construct the interior. On April 18, two days into the Presidency of [[AghastBlock]], the capitol was finished and considered usable with its first major use not coming until the presidential inauguration of Setrus and subsequent firework shows on May 21. It is worthy to note that a multi-hour long argument occurred between Setrus and Moxie over the decision of replacing the spruce hedges around the capitol with azalea leaves, Moxie was pro-azalea and Setrus was pro-spruce.<br /> <br /> === Early 2026 Redesign, Controversy, and Attempted Assassination ===<br /> On February 3rd, 2026, Setrus drafted a complete redesign for the capitol interior and later the same day construction started. With the support of [[Flippizzacake]], the backing of Olympia Mayor [[sayerleft]], and 500 gold from the [[Cascadia Department of Interior|Department of the Interior]], the capitol interior was gutted and rebuilt within 24 hours with construction officially finishing on the night of February 4th. Hours before the culmination of construction, Olympia City Executive [[Xeocas]] showed up on site standing just outside the entrance, staring at the visitors and Setrus. Xeocas quickly became enraged about the redesign of the capitol interior happening without his permission. Conflicting the belief that the Architect of the Capitol and national government had authority over him on capitol grounds, it is recorded that Xeocas said, &quot;If you actually read it [the National Capital City of Olympia Act], you'd see that Olympia has elected to form a more complex form of government and therefore must go through the government processes we have set-out via ordinances. It's Oh so clear.&quot; In which Setrus responded, &quot;well ur wrong buckeroo, now let me continue.&quot; Soon after Xeocas, as [[Thurston County]], launched a lawsuit against Setrus as well as Flippizzacake, and [[ka_tie]] alleging their involvement, although later charges were dropped for the two.<br /> <br /> During the morning of February 5th, 2026, fourteen shots rang out from the [[Alliance Steakhouse]] on the fourth floor of the capitol. House Speaker [[Mjap04]] was found in critical condition in his booth but the perpetrator was nowhere to be seen. News quickly spread about the violent event with the Associated Counties of Vermont officially putting out a statement alleging that the shooting could be linked to an underground Israeli-[[Havaiki]] cabal led by [[FieryMatter]] and Xeocas, however as of writing this is considered a conspiracy and there is no official suspect or anyone in custody.<br /> <br /> === Modern Day ===<br /> Since its construction, the capitol has been rooted in Cascadian culture, its presence existing in meme and political posters and videos across the years. It has also been the target of several threats by Cascadian adversaries such as the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], [[Texas]], and [[Aurora:California|California]]. The town of [[Bakhmut]] was made largely with the goal of eventually overclaiming Olympia and the capitol, however failed to do so before the removal of overclaim. During the height of the [[Great American War]], Texan officials stormed the capitol building and considered it under their control, however were soon trapped within after the entrance was sealed.<br /> <br /> There have been multiple redesigns and expansions of the capitol complex over the years, including the addition of the Salish Square plaza in 2025 and the 2026 full interior and partial exterior redesign.<br /> <br /> == Interior ==<br /> <br /> === Capitol Rotunda ===<br /> The Capitol rotunda is the central and main room in the capitol where, in an unorthodox fashion, the Cascadian legislature holds sessions within for the purposes of aura maxxing. On the rotunda floor there are 22 seats for representatives facing a dais with seats for the speaker, clerk, dean, and a reserved seat for any non-voting member such as the [[President of Cascadia|President]] or sponsors. Above, the rotunda is capped by an all-quartz dome based on the real life United States Capitol dome. The base of the dome features Cascadian town banners ordered by historical age of the town, starting with [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] and moving clockwise from oldest to youngest; this is a tradition held since the construction of the capitol, first appearing on the northern walls of what was a square room below the dome. The fourth floor of the capitol features a railing where the public may look down on legislative sessions. The top of the dome ironically features a rendition of the logo of [[QT]], a joked Cascadian deep state made by pasting the common suffix &quot;QT&quot; of notable Cascadians [[EstiQT]] and formally SayerQT, onto the logo of the real life secular fraternal organization, Freemasonry. <br /> <br /> === East and West Wings ===<br /> Since there is only one legislative body in Cascadia, the House of Representatives, both wings hold offices for them. Between both of the wings there are 31 rooms total, 28 reserved for representatives including dedicated offices for the Speaker of the House, the House Clerk, and the Architect of the Capitol. On the fourth floor, the west wing holds 2 rooms for miscellaneous use, and the east wing features a customized Alliance Steakhouse location.<br /> <br /> == Exterior ==<br /> <br /> === Salish Square ===<br /> Included in Salish Square, also called the Capitol Plaza, are five flower gardens separated by five narrow streets that feed into a central roundabout. It is ordained by four Douglas Fir trees, a species notably on the flag of Cascadia, with a stone statue at the center of sayerleft holding the flag with reverence.<br /> <br /> == Major Events ==<br /> The Capitol and the surrounding grounds have played host to several events in Cascadian History, including the 10th Presidential Inauguration, various presidential addresses, Freedom Day 2025, the November 2025 Halloween Event, and other unofficial events.</div>

He previously served as [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] under [[President of Cascadia|president]] [[MasterEWild]], and as [[Grouse]] City Manager from December 2025 until January 2026. He has been a member of the Cascadian House of Representatives since [[October 2025 Cascadia general election|October 2025]], and was a Grouse city councillor from October 2025 to December 2025. He is widely considered one of Grouse's more influental political figures on the national stage.a <br /> <br /> ==Early history==<br /> Mjap spawned on EarthMC on June 22, 2025. He did not log on again until August, when he was invited the Cascadian city of Grouse by Jus1_Amy on August 22. He was given an apartment, and began his aspirations towards establishing a glass business in the local Grouse community.<br /> <br /> ==Grouse local Politics==<br /> In the October 2025 Grouse municipal election, Mjap04 was a candidate and was elected to the Grouse City Council alongside med_hadi_a and drpogfoot. Mjap04 introduced new city ordinances and bureaucratic reforms into Grouse by establishing the position of Director of Commerce, a role that would oversee shops and entrepreneurial growth. Inside Grouse, Mjap mainly worked with the Grouse local militia on new rules streamlining efficiency. During this month, Mjap04 also constructed the Amethyst Building, which served as a storage unit for Mjap and other residents.<br /> <br /> In November 2025, Mjap was re-elected to the Council again alongside med_hadi_a and drpogfoot. This month was very quiet for Grouse as a decline in activity was setting in- however, mjap did introduce new bureaucratic reform such as the establishment of the Director of Infrastructure, and oversaw coordination with the Cascadia National Guard overseen by Defense secretary JoeJoe to make the Grouse Barracks a national military installation.<br /> <br /> In December 2025, Mjap was re-elected to the Council again alongside Melvinm04, skklz and deadroachh. This month was very quiet as there were tensions between the Council and the infrastructure team. On the 9th December Mjap left Grouse for Wildwood, then the Grouse bombings happened.<br /> <br /> On December 11th 2025 Mjap was elected Town Manager of Grouse, Mjap worked hard with Pancen to restore the town back to its former glory with mass recruitment, restabilising laws and and making new laws to prevent the bombing again.<br /> <br /> In January 2026 Mjap was re-elected Town Manager, during this team Mjap focused on building in Grouse, mainly the stadium for EFL, stadium for football and starting the Mapart platform.

Mjap also pushed for LadyEsquimalt to be fully repaid for saving a town which 42d. During this month RAWRyoutube tried to change voting laws which plenty of reps argued against, Mjap also managed to gain his friend joejoet77 the role of &quot;friend of Cascadia&quot; after he left to go back to Yucatan. In early January 2026 Mjap was promoted to secretary of defence following joejoet77's position as he had left, Mjap immediately reformed the defence department to make it into a department where everyone contributed to towns who wanted military funding or resources.<br /> <br /> In late January 2026 Mjap was re-elected as a representative and was kept as the secretary of defence by KayP7 who won presidency that term! Mjap ran for speaker again and had a easy victory coming out with 12 votes while others were split, Mjap made the proposal to remove sergiothecrafter from the house of representatives due to a previous national risk which he brought to the nation.<br /> <br /> == Attempted Assassination ==<br /> On the morning of February 5th, 2026, Mjap was involved in an assassination attempt within the [[Cascadian Capitol Building|Cascadian Capitol's]] very own [[Alliance Steakhouse]]. Over fourteen shots were heard, shredding the nearby wall and booth, with a few managing to hit Mjap in the head. He was rushed to [[Seattle Mercy West Hospital]] in critical condition, but managed to fully recover. No suspects were officially called for the shooting but the case remains open.<br /> <br /> ==Athlete Career==<br /> Mjap04 is a player for the Grouse Bombers in Rosey. Mjap was the first ever rosey player to score points in the game between The Grouse Bombers and Manicouagan County where the game finished 62-42 to the Grouse Bombers<br /> <br /> As of the 2nd of February 2026 Mjap's stats in roseys are as follows<br /> <br /> 88 Points<br /> <br /> 12 Wickets<br /> <br /> 21 Runs completed<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Category:Players]]<br /> [[Category:Cascadia (Aurora)]]<br /> [[Category:Cascadians (Aurora)]]<br /> {{Republic of Cascadia (Aurora)}}</div>

The site is property of the national government, managed by the [[Architect of the Capitol]] who is responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the overall complex.<br /> <br /> The original building was designed by [[Setrus]] on March 21, 2023 and completed in-game on April 18, 2023 by himself and [[HibachiBeamz]]. In early 2025 during the height of [[Project Olympia]], [[Moxie|Moxicodone]], the project head, commissioned Setrus to design a plaza expansion to the south of the original building to be used for proper public gatherings and events. Included in the plaza, now known as Salish Square, are five flower gardens separated by narrow streets that feed into a central roundabout. It is ordained by four Douglas Fir trees, a species notably on the flag of Cascadia, with a stone statue at the center of [[sayerleft]] holding the flag with reverence. <br /> <br /> Two wings, or halls, connected in the center by a rotunda make up a bulk of the capitol complex. In the wings are the offices for the House of Representatives and Architect of the Capitol.

The city is located in Western Washington on the Pacific Ocean, at the southern tip of the Puget Sound, covering most of the southern region of the Olympic Peninsula. The sixth-largest city in Cascadia by population, it borders [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] (King County) to the east, Astoria, Salem, and Skamania (Oregon County) to the south, and Victoria to the north across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.<br /> <br /> Olympia serves as the seat of the Cascadian national government and is an important regional hub, hosting the Port of Olympia ''(Cascadian National Spawn)'', an international center of commerce and trade. The city is home to the three branches of the Cascadian national government: the [[Legislature of Cascadia|House of Representatives]] in the [[Cascadian Capitol Building]], the [[Cabinet of Cascadia|Executive Branch]] in the Presidential Palace, and the [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|Judicial Branch]] in the Hall of Justice.<br /> <br /> Olympia was founded on May 21, 2022, by former [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] Mayor [[Sayerleft]], following Seattle's decline in activity. The city rapidly expanded after becoming the capital of the newly formed nation of Cascadia in July 2022. Throughout its history, Olympia has undergone significant development, including the construction of its downtown, with various government buildings and skyscrapers becoming iconic staples of Cascadian culture.<br /> <br /> The National Capital City of Olympia Act, passed in January 2024, significantly expanded the city's boundaries and authority. This reorganization incorporated the formerly separate city of [[Neah bay|Neah Bay]] and established several wards under Olympia's jurisdiction, creating a larger metropolitan area under centralized governance. The city now consists of four wards, which are represented in-game as separate towns but fall under the unified governance of the City. Since March 2025, Olympia has also been coextensive with that of Thurston County, of which the city government exercises the powers of. <br /> <br /> The city's executive powers are carried out by the City Executive, elected monthly by residents. As of August 2025, Kipiscute serves as the city executive, having been most recently elected against former City Executive Xeocas. City ordinances are made by the City Council, consisting of members elected by closed-list proportional representation. Sayerleft serves as the ceremonial ''Lord Mayor of Olympia,'' a title uniquely defined by national statute.<br /> <br /> As of February 2025, Olympia continues to develop and serve as the political and administrative center of Cascadia, playing a crucial role in shaping the nation's future.<br /> <br /> == Recreation ==<br /> The [[Olympia Icehounds]] were a proposed ice hockey team who would be based out of the [[CSF Forum]], but the city rejected the offer.<br /> <br /> You can also visit the [[Cascadian Capitol Building]], the biggest capitol structure in all of the server.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The city of Olympia was founded by former Seattle Mayor Sayerleft on May 21, 2022, due to Seattle becoming both a mess, and inactive. Sayerleft founded the nation of Cascadia with the capital in Olympia in July 2022, and entered a rapid period of expansion, growth that continued for some time.<br /> <br /> === Late 2022 ===<br /> Soon after the rapid expansion, the town lacked active builders leading to little progress until the player Moxies_hoe joined the town and was appointed City Manager. The town started construction of the downtown, and by October 17, 2022 the town had built a downtown and the Presidential Palace. The town continued expansion, but at a slowed rate. By November, the town had built National Tower and Union Station. On November 9, 2022, the City of Port Orchard was founded on the Kitsap Peninsula to the north of Olympia by Moxies_hoe. While the town expanded and developed quickly, it quickly ran out of space and the mayor and city council voted to merge with Olympia on November 19th.<br /> <br /> === Mountainous expansion ===<br /> Throughout early-to-mid 2023, the City of Olympia expanded itself into the Cascade Mountains, claiming Mt. St. Helens, and reaching all the way south to the Columbia River. Despite this, development stalled, and Moxies_hoe was replaced as City Manager by Milgorn123. During this time, the Cascadian Capitol was constructed, and remains one of the defining architectural objects of the City today. The national shop was also moved to being under the Cascadian Capitol, rather than underneath Marathon Park and Union Station.<br /> <br /> === Late 2023 to Modern day ===<br /> In late 2023, former Nunaville Mayor Blu_Zebra was appointed City Manager of Olympia. He quickly began work by revitalizing many portions of the city, such as Marathon Park, and constructing the Hall of Justice. With the implementation of Overclaim across the server, Olympia divided itself into several in-game towns, such as Skamania to the east and Olympia Coast to the West. This, together with a declining Neah Bay, led the Legislature to consolidate the six towns into a single municipal government, known as the National Capital City of Olympia, led by an elected Executive. Blu_Zebra was elected as the first City Executive in January 2024. Olympia continues development to this day.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery mode=&quot;slideshow&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Olympia dynmap 7-10-22.png|''(Nationless) July 12, 2022''<br /> File:Olympia Dynmap 7-18-22.png|''July 18, 2022''<br /> File:Olympia dynmap 7-24-22.png|''July 24, 2022''<br /> File:Olympia Dynmap 09-05-22.png|''September 5, 2022''<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Government ==<br /> The city consists of four wards, which in-game are seperate towns, but are all governed by the National Capital City of Olympia (NCCO). The City's executive powers are carried out by the City Executive, elected once a month by the city's residents. The current city executive is kipiscute, who was elected to a full term in the August 2025 local election. City ordinances are made by the City Council, consisting of several members elected by closed-list proportional representation by the city's electorate. <br /> <br /> Prior to the creation of the National Capital City by an act of the Legislature in January 2024, what is now the single city was two cities, the City of Olympia and the City of Neah Bay. The City of Olympia was founded in May of 2022, and used a city-manager government, with Sayerleft serving as mayor for the entirety of its existence, and appointing a city manager to administer the affairs of the town. The City of Neah Bay has a long and seperate history from the City of Olympia, however due to its decline was amalgamated into Olympia by the Legislature in January 2024 with the establishment of the National Capital City.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+List of City Executives of Olympia ''(post-consolidation)''<br /> !No.<br /> !Executive<br /> !Tenure<br /> |-<br /> |'''1'''<br /> |Blu_Zebra<br /> |January 21, 2024 – April 21, 2024<br /> |-<br /> |'''2'''<br /> |StarNingago<br /> |April 21, 2024 – July 21, 2024<br /> |-<br /> |'''3'''<br /> |Ahea<br /> |July 21, 2024 – September 15, 2024<br /> |-<br /> |'''4'''<br /> |Sayerleft<br /> |September 15, 2024 – November 17, 2024<br /> |-<br /> |'''5'''<br /> |HawaiianDPG<br /> |November 17, 2024 – ''present''<br /> |}<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+List of city managers of the City of Olympia ''(pre-consolidation)''<br /> ! colspan=&quot;2&quot; |City manager<br /> !Tenure (est.)<br /> !Mayor<br /> |-<br /> |1<br /> |Arathorn52<br /> |Aug - Oct 2022<br /> | rowspan=&quot;5&quot; |Sayerleft<br /> |-<br /> |2<br /> |Moxies_hoe<br /> |October 2022 - Early 2023<br /> |-<br /> |3<br /> |Milgorn123<br /> |Early 2023<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=&quot;2&quot; |''vacant''<br /> |Mid 2023<br /> |-<br /> |4<br /> |Blu_Zebra<br /> |Late 2023 - January 2024<br /> |}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cascadia (Aurora)]]<br /> [[Category:Cascadian Towns (Aurora)]]<br /> [[Category:Towns (Aurora)]]<br /> {{Republic of Cascadia (Aurora)}}</div>

It was founded and led in its short existence by [[SergioTheCrafter]] as crown prince, prime minister, and supreme state chairman.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> SergioTheCrafter served as the 13th [[president of Cascadia]] from April 21, 2024 to May 19, 2024, and later as the 4th [[Vermont|president of Vermont]] before his impeachment and conviction by the Vermont General Assembly and his return to Cascadia.

On January 24th 2026 within ''The Cascadian Independent'' (TCI), a popular Cascadian journal founded by President [[KayP7]], Sergio posted an opinion article titled &quot;A letter to Cascadia from SergioTheCrafter&quot; in which he wrote about the ongoing attempt to expel him from the Cascadian House of Representatives for his alleged foreign collusion with Texan Explosivefirewk, as well as his disapproval for the Cascadia-Vermont merge, his participation in the Wordlegate controversy, and his contempt for LadyEsquimalt.

I really don't usually use the Independent as my personal venting space, but I think it's about damn time. <br /> <br /> As you may or may not know, Speaker Mjap has proposed a debate to expel me from the House. Frankly, surprising to even myself, I'm not too bothered about it. I'll defend myself but I don't feel a need to create a sobstory for that.<br /> <br /> What I wanted to do tonight, is to clear up some murky waters about some of my actions over the past few months, give some perspective into my situation, explain why I spoke to Explosive about &quot;classified&quot; details in October ish? (I forgot, this is all being written at once), and what led up to it.<br /> <br /> Throughout my three years in this nation, two or three I actually don't know and don't care to check at this moment, I've slowly watched the community aspect of our nation improve, and deteriorate, and improve, and enter this loopy slippery slope. I get, this makes me sound super pretenious, but I believe that atleast for the community aspect of Cascadia, the merge of Vermont was a net negative. And I know, people hate me for that. And that isn't saying every Vermonter is an ass. It may be my fault (actually, it probably is, lol), but it's felt from the second the merge occured, Vermonters have had a hatebone against me.<br /> <br /> Through WordleGate, through a lot of things, I've just felt targetted and stressed by this community. The community that I used to look up to, the community I used to love interacting with. It's pushed me back from even engaging much with the majority of the nation. Don't get me wrong, there are 100% some good apples in this nation, many of them, but it just feels like our nation, maybe not entirely but atleast in politics and debate broadly, that just so much hate has grown between people. People are divided. People just hate to hate.<br /> <br /> And I get it, people hate me for saying this as well. But just, honestly, fuck you LadyEsquimalt. I may be using TCI wrong here but at this point I'm just trying to get my mind across.<br /> <br /> This is all jambled. I'm aware of that. I kind of want to get to the next part, why I conversated with Explosive. It goes into the above. After WordleGate, and the Vermont Merge that I was (and still am) against, I wanted to vent and argue with someone who would atleast listen to my honest criticisms of our nation. That's how, I landed on Explosive, through conversations we had previously about I honestly forgot. Something else entirely.<br /> <br /> If I wanted to write a full thing it would be 10,000 characters most likely so I'm going to end it here. I'm sad to see the state of Cascadia's community, I'd like to give thanks to some people in this nation who have honestly been the friendliest people I've known, I'd like to condemn the people who led to the hate in our community, and I'd to congratulate the people who have been preying on my downfall. Hallajuah to you.<br /> <br /> Good night, TCI. Thank you to kayp7 for entrusting me with this position.&lt;/blockquote&gt;By this point, Sergio had attracted a variety of criticism for his alleged nativism and Anti-vermonter xenophobia, leading him to be a prominent target by political figures in varying locations on the Cascadian political spectrum, notably from President [[KayP7]] and Vice President [[wishful_]]. After the controversial statement on TCI, opinions of Sergio's expulsion of the house evolved from mildly divided to an almost unanimous agreement. Sergio was officially expelled from the House of Representatives on January 25, 2026 with 18 ayes and 2 abstentions out of a voting body of 23. <br /> <br /> == Timeline ==<br /> Shitland was founded at 6:01 pm Pacific time. It was immediately renamed by staff to '''2.1notinshitland''' for violating nation naming rules. Sergio declared in the Cascadian discord server to be a trade possession office of Cascadia, despite not receiving authorization from any governmental authority of such transaction. As he was de-roled of his citizenship from the Cascadian server, he eventually sued for peace and rejoined Cascadia, dissolving Shitland after just 6 minutes. By several, this brief comedic episode has been nicknamed the '''Six-Minute War''', in reference to the famous [[Six-Hour War]].</div>

It was founded and led in its short existence by [[SergioTheCrafter]] as crown prince, prime minister, and supreme state chairman.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> SergioTheCrafter served as the 13th [[president of Cascadia]] from April 21, 2024 to May 19, 2024, and later as the 4th [[Vermont|president of Vermont]] before his impeachment and conviction by the Vermont General Assembly and his return to Cascadia. Having served various roles in Cascadian politics, Sergio retired in late 2025, only to be elected back to the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Cascadian House of Representatives]] in the January 2026 election. On January 24th 2026 within the Cascadian Independent (TCI), a popular Cascadian journal founded by President [[KayP7]], Sergio posted an opinion article titled &quot;A letter to Cascadia from SergioTheCrafter&quot; in which he wrote about the ongoing attempt to expel him from the Cascadian House of Representatives for his alleged foreign collusion with Texan Explosivefirewk, as well as his disapproval for the Cascadia-Vermont merge, his participation in the Wordlegate controversy, and his contempt for LadyEsquimalt. The article is now publicly deleted, but was dug up and pasted below: <br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;OPINION: <br /> <br /> A letter to Cascadia from SergioTheCrafter<br /> <br /> Editor in Chief SergioTheCrafter<br /> <br /> &quot;Hi y'all. I really don't usually use the Independent as my personal venting space, but I think it's about damn time. <br /> <br /> As you may or may not know, Speaker Mjap has proposed a debate to expel me from the House. Frankly, surprising to even myself, I'm not too bothered about it. I'll defend myself but I don't feel a need to create a sobstory for that.<br /> <br /> What I wanted to do tonight, is to clear up some murky waters about some of my actions over the past few months, give some perspective into my situation, explain why I spoke to Explosive about &quot;classified&quot; details in October ish? (I forgot, this is all being written at once), and what led up to it.<br /> <br /> Throughout my three years in this nation, two or three I actually don't know and don't care to check at this moment, I've slowly watched the community aspect of our nation improve, and deteriorate, and improve, and enter this loopy slippery slope. I get, this makes me sound super pretenious, but I believe that atleast for the community aspect of Cascadia, the merge of Vermont was a net negative. And I know, people hate me for that. And that isn't saying every Vermonter is an ass. It may be my fault (actually, it probably is, lol), but it's felt from the second the merge occured, Vermonters have had a hatebone against me.<br /> <br /> Through WordleGate, through a lot of things, I've just felt targetted and stressed by this community. The community that I used to look up to, the community I used to love interacting with. It's pushed me back from even engaging much with the majority of the nation. Don't get me wrong, there are 100% some good apples in this nation, many of them, but it just feels like our nation, maybe not entirely but atleast in politics and debate broadly, that just so much hate has grown between people. People are divided. People just hate to hate.<br /> <br /> And I get it, people hate me for saying this as well. But just, honestly, fuck you LadyEsquimalt. I may be using TCI wrong here but at this point I'm just trying to get my mind across.<br /> <br /> This is all jambled. I'm aware of that. I kind of want to get to the next part, why I conversated with Explosive. It goes into the above. After WordleGate, and the Vermont Merge that I was (and still am) against, I wanted to vent and argue with someone who would atleast listen to my honest criticisms of our nation. That's how, I landed on Explosive, through conversations we had previously about I honestly forgot. Something else entirely.<br /> <br /> If I wanted to write a full thing it would be 10,000 characters most likely so I'm going to end it here. I'm sad to see the state of Cascadia's community, I'd like to give thanks to some people in this nation who have honestly been the friendliest people I've known, I'd like to condemn the people who led to the hate in our community, and I'd to congratulate the people who have been preying on my downfall. Hallajuah to you.<br /> <br /> Good night, TCI. Thank you to kayp7 for entrusting me with this position.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;By this point, Sergio had attracted a variety of criticism for his alleged nativism and Anti-vermonter xenophobia, leading him to be a prominent target by political figures in varying locations on the Cascadian political spectrum, notably from President [[KayP7]] and Vice President [[wishful_]]. After the controversial statement on TCI, opinions of Sergio's expulsion of the house evolved from mildly divided to an almost unanimous agreement. Sergio was officially expelled from the House of Representatives on January 25, 2026 with 18 ayes and 2 abstentions out of a voting body of 23. <br /> <br /> == Timeline ==<br /> Shitland was founded at 6:01 pm Pacific time. It was immediately renamed by staff to '''2.1notinshitland''' for violating nation naming rules. Sergio declared in the Cascadian discord server to be a trade possession office of Cascadia, despite not receiving authorization from any governmental authority of such transaction. As he was de-roled of his citizenship from the Cascadian server, he eventually sued for peace and rejoined Cascadia, dissolving Shitland after just 6 minutes.

Spanning along the northern Oregon Coast and including newer inland annexations and developments, it is one of Cascadia's most historically important, culturally significant, and presently influential cities, playing an outsized role in politics and history in both the past and present of Cascadia. The city is governed by the mayor of Astoria, currently RIP1C, and the Astoria City Council, consisting of 7 members and the mayor.<br /> <br /> The area now known as Astoria was first settled by the Oregonian people. Ryzenix was a founding member of the [[Oregon Empire]] who established the town of Astoria on May 14, 2022, the same day as the other historic imperial towns of Portland and the imperial capital of Salem. Eugene, which would fall into ruin after just two months, would be founded by NestBird as a town of the Oregon Empire on June 2nd, and [[Milgorn123]], fleeing political persecution from the Crown of Texas, founded the town of Oceanside in between Astoria and Eugene on August 4th. Ryzenix's Astoria, which also settled across the Columbia River, would engage in a claim-battle in July with the newly-founded Cascadian capital city of Olympia over the region now known as the Riverway in Southeast Downtown Olympia. This battle led to Astoria holding possession of a region of land terminating at what is now the intersection of Loowit Ave and S. Washington Street in Downtown Olympia. In early September 2022, Ryzenix was banned from EarthMC, and the town of Astoria would fall into ruin, leading the increasingly metropolitan city of Oceanside under Milgorn123's leadership to annex the territory of the former city of Astoria up to the Columbia River, with the Cascadian capital of Olympia annexing the former city's territory north of the river. Oceanside would go on to play a pivotal role in the [[Six-Hour War]], being the catalyst for Oregon's defeat by seceding from Oregon amidst the conflict and being incorporated into the Republic of Cascadia. In the several months following Oceanside's incorporation into Cascadia, Milgorn123 would move to the Columbia Plateau, instigating a series of mayoral transitions from Milgorn123 to RealLimpopo and later to Moxicodone.<br /> <br /> Under Moxicodone's mayoralty, substantial urban renovations were initiated in the northern part of the city. However, due to personal conflicts involving Milgorn123, Moxie declared the town dissolved, leading to the naval invasion by the rebel organization known as the Rocky Mountain Federation (RMF), culminating in the [[Battle of Oceanside]]. The RMF occupied most of the northern half of the city as what would be known as '''Walla Walla''', after the original name of the capital of the Oregonian grand duchy of Washington that had since been renamed to Kennewick. It was known by the Cascadian government during this period as the Oceanside Occupation Zone, and was administered on the part of the RMF by former Emperor of Oregon [[PicoTheCat|Pico]]. The city of Oceanside remaining under Cascadian control, now led by new mayor Paradox_1080, was greatly diminished, only controlling the southern half of the city. The city of '''Seaside''' was also established in what was formerly the northeastern part of the city, along the Columbia River. The occupation period, which lasted throughout July and August 2023, led to a dramatic stagnation and reduction of Oceanside's population, size, and cultural/political influence.<br /> <br /> The occupation came to an end in late August 2023, as a result of the defeat of the First Rocky Mountain Rebellion. The area that was under occupation became the new city of '''Prythian''', with retired Supreme Court Justice Aurivia becoming mayor. The city remained incredibly stagnant, with the region seeing its lowest population in its history, totaling only 3 between South Oceanside, Prythian, and Seaside. Aurivia would later betray Cascadia as part of the [[Osoyoos_(political_faction)#Aftermath_of_Secession|Osoyoosan Exodus]], yet unlike an overwhelming majority of the Osoyoos exodus, Aurivia would not leave the continent, instead seceding Prythian from Cascadia, oncemore placing what is now northern Astoria under foreign occupation. The second occupation would conclude in November 2023, with Cascadian scajamarsh taking control of Prythian from Aurivia, reincorporating it into Cascadia, and annexing the rump city of Oceanside in the south to become the city of '''Copper''' and, with the exception of Seaside, restoring the original borders of Oceanside. <br /> <br /> The city of Copper would demolish all buildings in Oceanside, rolling back the town to entirely forest, devoid of buildings, and declaring it a nature reserve. Seaside would later be taken over and occupied by the Wagner Group during the [[Wagner War]], and renamed to '''Wagner'''. In June 2024, [[Setrus]], who wanted to prevent [[Texas]] from gaining control of the town after it was put on sale publicly for 1.2k gold, bought Copper and became mayor, renaming the town back to Oceanside, and in late 2024, to the modern name of '''Astoria'''. Between June 2024 and July 2025 Astoria underwent significant developments with the goal of rebuilding and preserving historically significant monuments such as the Oceanside gate, ship, Tillamook Park, and Highway 99 while including real-life Oregon references with buildings from Astoria, Eugene and Florence. Setrus served as mayor of Astoria until July 29, 2025, when he retired from his position and handed the mayoralty to [[Flippizzacake]], an Astoria native citizen and [[Legislature of Cascadia|House representative]] for the Metropolitan constituency. In August 2025, upon initiative of House representative [[RIP1C]], a resident of Astoria, the city adopted its modern City Council government system, taking inspiration from an earlier April proposal by then-mayor Setrus. <br /> <br /> Today, Astoria is characterized by largescale developments in Southeast Astoria, a region consisting of territory formerly part of the historic Oregonian village of Eugene, the later Cascadian cities of Newport, Gravity Falls, and Good Town, as well as other parts of rural Oregon County. It serves a regional and political hub, holding a prominent role in the political and social landscape of Cascadia, reflecting its significance as a population center along the northern Oregon Coast.<br /> <br /> == Government and politics ==<br /> Astoria has a mayor-council system, with an executive mayor, currently RIP1C, and a city council, serving as a body with both legislative and executive functions. Astoria is the county seat of Oregon County, and is represented on the Oregon County Board of Commissioners by mayor RIP1C, and by at-large commissioner TomasSMP. For elections to the [[Legislature of Cascadia|national legislature]], Astoria is apart of the Metropolitan constituency alongside neighboring cities such as Olympia, Seattle, Victoria, Portland, and Vancouver. It is currently represented in the House by Flippizzacake, RIP1C, GuyWithALife, and KayP7, who also currently serves as [[Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Speaker]].<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Membership of the Astoria Council<br /> |-<br /> !

However, due to personal conflicts involving Milgorn123, Moxie declared the town dissolved, leading to the naval invasion by the rebel organization known as the Rocky Mountain Federation (RMF), culminating in the [[Battle of Oceanside]]. The RMF occupied most of the northern half of the city as what would be known as '''Walla Walla''', after the original name of the capital of the Oregonian grand duchy of Washington that had since been renamed to Kennewick. It was known by the Cascadian government during this period as the Oceanside Occupation Zone, and was administered on the part of the RMF by former Emperor of Oregon [[PicoTheCat|Pico]]. The city of Oceanside remaining under Cascadian control, now led by new mayor Paradox_1080, was greatly diminished, only controlling the southern half of the city. The city of '''Seaside''' was also established in what was formerly the northeastern part of the city, along the Columbia River. The occupation period, which lasted throughout July and August 2023, led to a dramatic stagnation and reduction of Oceanside's population, size, and cultural/political influence.<br /> <br /> The occupation came to an end in late August 2023, as a result of the defeat of the First Rocky Mountain Rebellion. The area that was under occupation became the new city of '''Prythian''', with retired Supreme Court Justice Aurivia becoming mayor. The city remained incredibly stagnant, with the region seeing its lowest population in its history, totaling only 3 between South Oceanside, Prythian, and Seaside. Aurivia would later betray Cascadia as part of the [[Osoyoos_(political_faction)#Aftermath_of_Secession|Osoyoosan Exodus]], yet unlike an overwhelming majority of the Osoyoos exodus, Aurivia would not leave the continent, instead seceding Prythian from Cascadia, oncemore placing what is now northern Astoria under foreign occupation. The second occupation would conclude in November 2023, with Cascadian scajamarsh taking control of Prythian from Aurivia, reincorporating it into Cascadia, and annexing the rump city of Oceanside in the south to become the city of '''Copper''' and, with the exception of Seaside, restoring the original borders of Oceanside. <br /> <br /> The city of Copper would demolish all buildings in Oceanside, rolling back the town to entirely forest, devoid of buildings, and declaring it a nature reserve. Seaside would later be taken over and occupied by the Wagner Group during the [[Wagner War]], and renamed to '''Wagner'''. In June 2024, [[Setrus]], who wanted to &quot;save&quot; the town after it was put on sale for 1,200 gold, bought Copper and became mayor, renaming the town back to Oceanside, and in late 2024, to the modern name of '''Astoria'''. Between June 2024 and July 2025 Astoria underwent significant developments under the goal of rebuilding and preserving historically significant monuments such as the Oceanside gate and ship while including real-life Astoria buildings and references a swell as real-life references to other Oregon cities like Eugene and Florence. Setrus served as mayor of Astoria until July 29, 2025, when he retired from his position and handed the mayoralty to [[Flippizzacake]], an Astoria native citizen and [[Legislature of Cascadia|House representative]] for the Metropolitan constituency. In August 2025, upon initiative of House representative [[RIP1C]], a resident of Astoria, the city adopted its modern City Council government system, taking inspiration from an earlier April proposal by then-mayor Setrus. <br /> <br /> Today, Astoria is characterized by largescale developments in Southeast Astoria, a region consisting of territory formerly part of the historic Oregonian village of Eugene, the later Cascadian city of Newport, and rural Oregon County. It serves a regional and political hub, holding a prominent role in the political and social landscape of Cascadia, reflecting its significance as a population center along the northern Oregon Coast.<br /> <br /> == Government and politics ==<br /> Astoria has a mayor-council system, with an executive mayor, currently RIP1C, and a city council, serving as a body with both legislative and executive functions. Astoria is the county seat of Oregon County, and is represented on the Oregon County Board of Commissioners by mayor RIP1C, and by at-large commissioner TomasSMP. For elections to the [[Legislature of Cascadia|national legislature]], Astoria is apart of the Metropolitan constituency alongside neighboring cities such as Olympia, Seattle, Victoria, Portland, and Vancouver. It is currently represented in the House by Flippizzacake, RIP1C, GuyWithALife, and KayP7, who also currently serves as [[Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Speaker]].<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Membership of the Astoria Council<br /> |-<br /> !

It is considered a significant part of North America's history.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> <br /> === Cascadia-Texas Tensions ===<br /> In November 2023, a player named Hersheylr arrived in Texas, having previously spending time in Cascadia and contributing to the end of the [[RMF Wars]]. While in Texas, Hershey obtained perms to the Texan capital of Houston and Texas at large. He severely damaged the Texan capitol and kicked towns from Texas, which was a considerable loss in materials and power for the nation. On December 18, 2023, Texas declared war on Cascadia, claiming that Cascadia was involved in planning and backing the attack. A Discord announcement by the Texan King, [[North_Paso]], would become infamous due to the way it compared several notable Cascadians to the Christian [[wikipedia:Seven_deadly_sins|seven deadly sins]]. This would mark Texas' entry into the [[Wagner War]], with Texas and other Cascadian enemies, notably [[Chad]] (aka [[Osoyoos (political faction)|Osoyoos]]), planning on using the server's then-new overclaim functionality to take chunks from Cascadian towns and force them to submit to the rule of the Reformed Republic of Cascadia. Ultimately, the war became inactive after [[Wagner]] was able to only take one chunk of Cascadian territory from the town of [[Chaeronea]], and ended de facto in March 2024 after the [[San Francisco Offensive of 2024]]. Notably no official peace treaty was ever signed and the Wagner War is considered by some the start of the later and larger conflict, the Great American War.<br /> <br /> During the spring of 2024, the Cascadian government typically treated Texas with reserved resentment, and generally nothing more than a distant threat. Due to Texas being the closest remaining Wagner-aligned nation to Cascadia, it was still treated with particular concern by the Cascadian Department of Defense, and the newly formed [[National Security Agency]]. On May 23, 2024, the NSA received an offer from former Cascadian and [[Michoacán]] leader [[CMW]] to have him spy on Texas in exchange for Cascadian support of a revived Michoacán/Mexico. At the time, Texas controlled a significant area of Northern Texas and the Yucatan. The NSA accepted the offer, and CMW would provide intelligence from the Texan legislature and cabinet until his Cascadia-backed secession on June 16. <br /> <br /> On May 28, Cascadian officials were alerted to the beginnings of a chain of Texan towns moving in the direction of California. At the same time, prominent mayors in California alerted defense officials that [[Ewhy]], who now owned the town of Sacramento in Northern California, was attempting to get them to secede with him and join Texas. It was at that point that the Cascadian Department of Defense began to put together war plans in preparation for a Texan invasion. The possibility of Texas using towns meticulously placed within and nearby Cascadian territory to launch another attempt at a mass overclaiming campaign was the primary concern of Cascadian defense officials. North_Paso was banned by 32Andrew on May 29th, 2024 for using forged evidence in a ticket, however he was quickly unbanned.<br /> <br /> === OFN Crises ===<br /> In the [[Organization of Free Nations]], a couple of crises were ongoing amongst the member states. In Cascadia, officials were attempting to negotiate an non-aggression pact and border treaty with the [[Aurora:North Sea Republic|North Sea Republic]] (NSR), who controlled San Francisco. Tensions between the NSR and Cascadia had been high since San Francisco joined the NSR after the Wagner War, to the point that the rivalry between the two has been labelled the [[Cascadia-NSR Cold War]]. Although Cascadian and NSR officials had been somewhat opposed to negotiations for some time, in late May 2024, [[Aurora:Vermont|Vermont]] began to mediate negotiations in an attempt to end the tensions between their two allies. A non-aggression pact was quickly agreed to, though negotiations nearly fell apart as the two sides debated a border agreement. The NSR, pushed by NFISH, desired an agreement where the NSR would be allowed to claim almost any territory in North America outside the Cascadian Metro. Cascadia, in response, pushed for an agreement where the NSR would only be tolerated to claim territory in California and Nevada. During this debate, Cascadian President [[Raptormm4]] would remark that the NSR (whose capital was on the island of Ireland) was a government &quot;From fucking Ireland.&quot; This became known as the [[Aurora:&quot;Fucking Ireland&quot; Incident|&quot;Fucking Ireland&quot; incident]]. Negotiations between the two continued for over a month, held together by both sides wishing to please Vermont and not be the first side to break off negotiations. The negotiations would not end until the Treaty of Los Angeles, with NSR settlement limited to the areas south of Nevada's northern border. The final agreement was agreed to by Cascadian officials in order to focus dealing with the increasing threat of Texas. <br /> <br /> In [[Aurora:Havaiki|Havaiki]], the [[Zealandia Civil War]] was brewing. The war began on May 29, 2024, when a mayor named Bacon seceded from Havaiki after Havaiki refused to adopt certain amendments to its constitution. Bacon, who was mayor of the north New Zealand town of Port Jason, and a small number of other mayors, declared independence as the nation of [[Zealandia]], and came into open conflict with Havaiki. While Havaiki received strong support from most of its OFN allies, especially Cascadia and Pilbara, Vermont attempted to blame Havaiki for the conflict. [[Princeling]], who at this time was still a major figure in Vermont, would refuse to condemn Zealandia, and would ultimately be one of many voices calling for peace in the region. The war ultimately came to an end with a recognition of Zealandian independence and a ceasefire line on June 15.<br /> <br /> In the [[Caucasian Republic]], the OFN came into a crises between one of their member states and the nation of [[Turkey (Aurora)|Turkey]]. The Caucasian Republic joined the OFN on May 11, 2024, having transitioned into a democratic republic in April. However, in late May, the Caucasian Republic's leadership came into a disagreement over their borders with neighboring Turkey. On June 4, Turkey overclaimed the Caucasian Republic's capital of Don Host. The Caucasian Republic's leader and founder, PastaMaster, resigned five days later due to the crisis. In the process, he declared Don Host surrendered to Turkey. <br /> <br /> === Internal Texan Crises ===<br /> During June 2024, Texas entered into a series of internal crises. This began on May 29, when Paso was banned for conspiring to fake evidence in a ticket that led to the banning of former Cascadian [[EstiQT]]. Paso attempted to calm worried citizens in the aftermath of his ban, saying that &quot;I want to reassure people that despite this, I will be unbanned. This is nothing to worry about. If worse comes to worse, [[LivingHumanBeing]] will take over.&quot; 8 days later, on June 6, the Texan President, Saddam, resigned in the wake of Paso's ban. Following Saddam's resignation, a power struggle arose in the Texan senate, with Texan Senator Luke declaring that as Saddam's &quot;#2&quot; he should immediately become president. At the same time, [[Bon Kranch]] began pushing for the abolition of the presidential system and for him to become dictator under Paso. In an attempt to gain legitimacy and popular support, CMW, alongside Texas Senator [[Sometexan]], proposed that an immediate nationwide election be held to choose a new President. All 3 of these factions put respective votes before the Texas Senate, with the choice of an election winning with near-unilateral support. Elections would begin later that night, with notable candidates including Sometexan and [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]], who choose CMW as his Vice President. Rocky was declared the winner on June 9, the same day that North_Paso (and EstiQT) would be unbanned from EMC. Out of fear of leaks to anti-government factions, the Texan cabinet was kept particularly secure, with only 5 members initially having access to it: Bon Kranch, CMW, Rocky, K S, and Sometexan. <br /> <br /> On June 8, a number of West Texas towns, upset by Paso's reign as king and seeing his ban as an opportunity for revolution, seceded to form the [[Texan Union]]. The revolutionary nation was based in the large town of Dallas, and took around 3 other towns with it. The revolutionaries demanded that Texas become a democratic republic and do away with the monarchy in the process. Before they officially seceded, the revolution's leaders, Morflux and Violent_Vision, attempted to reach out to the OFN for support. While some OFN members attempted to support the Texan Union, usually through strategic advice, OFN and Cascadian support for the rebellion quickly dwindled as its leaders would discuss their war plans in local chat, quickly leaking it to Texan reconnaissance. Due to the scale of the infighting in the Texas, Cascadian intelligence would remain interested for some time in the prospect of fermenting a larger revolt against Paso, proposing tactics such as spreading propaganda books about Paso's past to Texan mayors and sending propaganda DMs to Texans on Discord. Ultimately, none of these plans would be put into action. The [[Dallas Uprising]] would continue until Morflux's resignation in late June, with the Texan Union's second President, Violent_Vision, surrendering to Texas on June 21.<br /> <br /> == Prelude to war ==<br /> <br /> === Events in Mexico ===<br /> Beginning in 2023 with the slow decline of the [[First Mexican Empire]], Texas had gradually increased its own influence over Mexico. This was especially evident in northeast Texas, near the Rio Grande, and in the Yucatan. In an attempt to avoid a conflict, the [[Aurora:North American Union|NAU]]/Mexico agreed that these areas could be under Texan sovereignty, though they were prepared to oppose Texas if they ever decided to threaten the few remaining major towns, notably [[Hermosillo]]. It is generally agreed that Paso's goal in the settlement of Mexico was to conquer most of the country in order to form an empire similar to that of Nova's [[Rio Grande|Rio Grande Empire]]. Paso was, however, hesitant to move too quickly in Mexico, fearing retaliation from the veteran leadership of the NAU. In late May 2024, Paso began to encourage industrial specialization and development in the several districts of Texas, including an upgraded casino at the Texan capitol and new farms in the rapidly developing Yucatan.<br /> <br /> By June 9, 2024, CMW had begun to work towards reviving Michoacán in southwestern Mexico, while remaining in Texas. This would briefly cause some tensions with Saph and the remnants of the Mexican Empire, as Michoacán was outside the area Texas had officially claimed up to that point. In order to avoid a conflict, Paso ordered CMW to join Mexico while remaining in the Texas government, since he believed that &quot;Saph only cares about the color on a map.&quot; This decision was also apparently made to avoid more problems on top of the internal crises that Texas was facing at the time. Paso's plan was to have CMW secretly recruit Mexican towns while in Mexico to eventually rejoin Texas as the State of Michoacán. While CMW would begin speaking to other Mexican mayors, Paso was not aware that it was to bring them into a stronger, independent Mexican nation, not Texas. Unfortunately for Cascadian intelligence, this plan would greatly speed up the time they had with CMW in Texas, as CMW would now need to declare independence as a set time rather than waiting for Texas to collapse in on itself. <br /> <br /> Around June 11, Texas was struggling from even more internal struggles and further difficulties in Mexico. Saph had forced Texas to kick 2 towns in Baja, and the continued game of cat and mouse between Texas and Mexico kept the foreign affairs of the Texan government quite occupied. It should be noted that the events from June 10-14 took place while EMC was down for maintenance. Internally, Texas was also facing yet more division. On June 11, CMW described the situation to Cascadian intelligence with 5 different factions: The Michoacán, led by CMW and Thinkfast in Mexico, the lower senate, consisting of non-government senators growing gradually more opposed to the Rocky Administration, the Rocky Administration, which was backed by Paso, the Rocky opposition, led by Sometexan and possibly backed by LivingHumanBeing, and the Dallas Rebels, who were in the process of being destroyed. By this time, CMW had been replaced as Vice President due to his attempts to side with Sometexan's opposition faction. On June 12, Rocky passed the Diplomatic Regulations Bill, which made it illegal to conduct negotiations without government permission or to discuss Texas foreign policy with foreigners. This was in response to Saph getting a hold of a Texan claim map which violated Mexican sovereignty, though to this date it remains unknown who provided it to her. During this incident, Sometexan was interrogated as a possible suspect, in the process revealing the opposition and its membership, effectively destroying it. This led almost immediately to secession amongst the various opposition members, with Sometexan fleeing to Nebraska where he would shortly thereafter become a Texas state.<br /> <br /> On June 15, Michoacán declared independence from Texas, declaring itself completely free of Texan rule and criticizing the policies of both Paso and the Rocky Administration. The secession was backed by Cascadian funding that had been secretly transferred to Michoacán earlier that day. On June 18, Paso proposed a new claim map in Mexico, which had almost all of Mexico within Texas territory. This map was completely rebuked by Mexican officials, though by that point there was little they could do. Critically, the map included the territory of Michoacán as Texan. <br /> <br /> === Communist Oklahoma ===<br /> On June 7, 2024, [[Moxie|Moxiecodone]] began receiving DMs from Ewhy_ recruiting her to join Texas. Not having any interest in joining Texas, Moxie and Cascadian Vice President [[Setrus]] decided to perform a non-government sanctioned private psychological operation (psyop) on Texan leadership. Moxie told Ewhy that her and Setrus were getting tired of Cascadia and were considering leaving, prompting North_Paso to start DMing Setrus. The two decided to tell North_Paso that they were interested in leaving Cascadia, saying that Cascadia &quot;Wasn't gay enough&quot;. Setrus and Moxie would then begin to rant about their plans, including the foundation of a gay and socialist nation closer to Texas. This rant eventually led to the pair presenting a map of where they wanted to settle, choosing to settle in a location marked in Oklahoma. Setrus also said he'd be getting upwards of 70 active players from a 580 member discord server he owned, providing the link to said real server to Texas, who by now had talked about the group within their upper government. Texas, seeing that the server was in fact real with some server members playing into the bit, immediately became quite concerned by this possibility.<br /> <br /> Thus, Texas officials attempted to organize a voice call to discuss the rebellion and how they could work alongside Texas. Instead, Setrus and Moxie ghosted them until June 9, when they said that they decided for sure to form a nation in Oklahoma, wishing Texas good luck. On June 11, Setrus put together a fake constitution for the fake nation named the Queer Cummunocracy of Oklahoma. Eventually, concerned about the concept of a large, gay, socialist nation popping up on their northern border, Texas began to push for the group to join the Texas meganation and settle further northwest, in Colorado. On June 11, a VC was held between Setrus, his non-EMC friend posed as a co-founder, and Texan President Bill 'Rocky' Moor, with Rocky informing the duo that &quot;If you settle somewhere else, or you are not under Texas, we will have a problem. And I have no reservations about going to war after the fact, if you decide to violate this agreement. Now under the Texas government you would be able to have an N-spawn, but every other town must be under Texas....&quot; After Setrus agreed to speak to his people on Rocky's proposal of settling further northwest, Rocky gave the [[&quot;I Do Not Give A Shit&quot;|now-infamous response]], &quot;Good, and if it don't work with your people I do not give a shit. If it's a democracy, whip the Goddamn votes. Call a vote, call another one, and call another one, until it passes. And if it don't pass, don't come to me with that as an excuse.&quot; On June 18, another VC was held, with Setrus trying to gain more information on what was happening in Texas before they would supposedly join. After this call, Paso broke off the negotiations, saying &quot;We're done here.&quot; Cascadian intelligence would find that the psyop was treated completely seriously by the Texan government, and was one of the many crises (alongside the events in Mexico and internal divisions in Texas) that kept Texas from going forth with their invasion plans during early June. The psyop would continue to be used to spread paranoia in Texas until it finally began to wither out in early July. <br /> <br /> === Invasion of California ===<br /> By June 2024, Ewhy was the owner of the town of Sacramento, holding the California nation name. The town and nation had long been a problem in northern California for Jefferson and Cascadia. On June 7, 2024, Ewhy began trying to poach both Jeffersonian and Cascadian mayors in California, including Moxie, telling her: &quot;Moxie why don't you guys just join Texas? If you don't like Cascadia government. Texas is good.&quot; These early attempts at poaching were not successful, but did make it clear to Cascadian officials the intention of Texas to begin making their way into California, especially with a line of Texas towns quickly expanding west. On June 18, Sacramento officially joined the Texas nation, marking the first time that Texas had undisputedly invaded Cascadian territory. Almost immediately following this, the Cascadian government began to make final preparations for war to begin, and issued warnings to the OFN that the security situation in California was rapidly devolving, and for other OFN members to make preparations. Havaiki, Cascadia's closest ally at this point in time, was specifically informed that a war with Texas was imminent, and to take proper preparations. <br /> <br /> On June 22, Raptor ordered Secretary of State [[Milgorn123]] to issue to Texas a diplomatic complaint regarding their actions in California and demand a conversation with them. This would be the last attempt at a peaceful resolution to the conflict. On June 23, Milgorn issued the complaint, and shortly thereafter a GC was created for negotiations between Raptor, Milgorn, North_Paso, and President Rocky. Cascadian officials directly informed Rocky of the attempts at poaching Cascadian mayors and the direct violations of the Cascadian claim map. The demand was made that Texas respect Cascadia's territorial sovereignty. The ultimatum was given a deadline of 9:00 AM PT (11:00 AM CT). The next morning, at 9:24 AM PT, Rocky refused to &quot;cede Texan towns against the will of said towns without just compensation.&quot; Raptor would request an authorization of military force against Texas from the House of Representatives 6 minutes later. The resolution passed at 8:07 PM PT, June 24, 2024, officially marking the beginning of the war. Before news reached of the Cascadian declaration, Texas unilaterally declared war on Cascadia on their own accord, at 9:16 PM PT (11:16 PM CT). Technically, Texas never considered themselves at peace with Cascadia after the de facto end of the Wagner War, but made an announcement nonetheless. The OFN was informed shortly after the AUMF was issued that Cascadia had activated Article 5 of the OFN Charter, declaring that they were being invaded by Texas and activating the mutual defense clause of the OFN. Havaiki, Vermont, Pilbara, and Laurentia would thus declare war on Texas shortly thereafter. Vermont, notably, declared war through an executive order issued by President [[SergioTheCrafter]], as there was no set war powers in their constitution at the time. Rocky would raise the argument in his war speech that they had been contacted by towns in California seeking to escape the &quot;tyranny and injustice that lays within Cascadian Walls&quot; and join a &quot;True Republic.&quot; Texas would continue to maintain that Cascadia were the aggressors in the conflict until the end of the war.<br /> <br /> == Course of the war ==<br /> The Cascadian plan at the outset of the Great American War was to invade Texas from all possible fronts until eventually winning an outright victory, forcing Texas to withdraw from the lands west of the Rockies. On a large scale, Cascadian planners intended to use Cascadia's many allies to surround Texas. From the west, Cascadia would hold their ground in California and move towards Texas. In the east, Vermont would be amongst the first to arrive in Texas proper. In the south, Mexico would begin to combat Texan claims in south of the Rio Grande and hunt Texans outside claims. And in the north, Cascadian Intelligence intended to use a propaganda campaign to revive a pro-democracy rebellion in Texas who could apply more pressure on Paso. At the onset of the war, Cascadian officials also attempted to convince the NAU to enter the war against Texas, citing that Texas would likely come for them next. The NAU declined. While Cascadia had set in motion many of these initial war plans, it declined to inform the OFN of them, making the assumption that such actions would have either been common sense or would come into being shortly. <br /> <br /> The first war plan attempted by Cascadian was Operation John Brown, a plan to overclaim a significant portion of Sacramento. This plan was originally going to be put into place on June 24, but was delayed as Raptor and Cascadian diplomats awaited the passing of the AUMF. Once the AUMF was passed, the operation faced further delays as no one was able to withdraw gold and get it to an online holder to undergo the overclaiming. Ultimately, the operation would be cancelled the next day, after Sacramento realized their weakness and enabled overclaim shield. The second plan worked out by Cascadian leadership came to be known as Operation Alamo, and focused on the invasion of Texas proper. The plan, put into place on June 26, was to place 3 towns in the core of Texas' territory: San_Antonio, in Central Texas, USS_Lexington, off the coast of Houston, and an unnamed town in northeast Texas. The goal was to use these towns as an outpost to hunt Texans, impress Cascadia's ability to wage war upon Texans, and to eventually overclaim underpopulated Texan towns, notably Port Lavaca and eventually Houston. Ultimately, Operation Alamo would also be cancelled as Cascadia lacked the holders at the time to properly organize the plan. Milgorn, a Texas native who volunteered to provide a holder for USS_Lexington, would be asked about the issue until mid-July, when the plan was effectively abandoned.<br /> <br /> === The Texas Western Offensive ===<br /> At the onset of the war Texas would launch two major offensives, both focuses on poaching and overclaiming enemy towns. In the west, this effort was focused on Cascadia, especially in California and the Cascadian Metro. On all fronts, most of these efforts were commanded by [[Samisol]], the mayor of Rio Grande. Samisol was noted for his ability to sway and control others, especially younger and more easily convinced players. He was also noted on the Eastern Front for his PvP abilities and using them to extort mayors into joining Texas. Across the Western Front, Texas saw very little success poaching Cascadian towns, with Cascadian mayors long adjusted and prepared for the threats of poachers. In California, Texas instead succeeded in poaching towns which were already hostile to Cascadia. Sometime after July 17, 2024, the Norcallian towns of Silicon Valley, San Diego, and California (town) joined Texas. Eventually, a break-up in the friend group of [[Ghostyuu]] and Bonzzil would lead to the towns formerly beloning to the New California Republic in Nevada would also join Texas at Bonzzil's suggestion. On July 18, the town of South Lost Coast was poached by Samisol, who then used it to overclaim and hold at ransom the historic district of Lost Coast proper. In an attempt to get back his items and historic buildings, [[Rocksthunder]] and many other [[Jeffcadians]] would join Texas.<br /> <br /> Further north, Samisol raised town holders to place claimblock towns across the Cascadian Metro. This included OBLOCKFENTGANG, which claimblocked [[Oceanside]] (now Astoria) on June 25. The former RMF towns of Catalina, Bakhmut, I_WANT_GOLD, and Astoria (Bon_Kraunch) also joined Texas shortly thereafter. Texas' Western Offensive reached its furthest point on June 30, when Mackenzie_CFOB was founded just north of [[Corgo's Pass]]. The towns of SodaGang and TK_ville would also be founded near the northern border of Vancouver on July 13 and 15.<br /> <br /> Although the Western Offensive was successful in penetrating the Cascadian homeland, it ultimately failed to significantly dent Cascadia's morale or ability to respond. The most significant incidents from the Western Offensive were the successful claimblockings of Oceanside (which continues to the present), Corgo's Pass, and Vancouver. In Corgo's Pass, a large lesbian pride flag was built to overshadow Mackenzie_CFOB. The Western Front during this phase of the war also saw the beginnings of the invasion of Texas proper, with Cascadia successfully reaching the gates of Houston on July 6. A chain of towns which had begun to be set up shortly before the war would culminate in the establishment of Texas (town), and the Pilbaran siege town of Weezer2 outside Houston and Port Lavaca. These towns were originally designed to be the beginning of the larger Operation Alamo counteroffensive, but would instead be the only OFN towns in Texas proper until the Cascadian Summer Offensive. Until then, Cascadian efforts on the Western Front would be focused on securing unclaimed areas in Cascadian territory through homestead grants.<br /> <br /> === The Texas Eastern Offensive ===<br /> On the Eastern Front, Samisol saw much greater success with poaching, hunting, and placing towns. The initial Cascadian plan for the Eastern Front was for Vermont to provide general assistance, mostly through funds and gear, to the war effort, before eventually mobilizing their large population to lead their own invasion of the Texas homeland from the east. Cascadian officials were not aware at that time that Vermont was relatively poor, and their citizens unprepared for any kind of conflict. Texas launched the Eastern Offensive around the beginning of July, creating a chain of towns approaching the Vermont Metro. Alongside this, Texas had already begun a large-spread campaign of hunting and threatening Vermont mayors (especially those in the American South). By July 3, Vermont Assemblyman LyoshaFury pushed the government into the first of many rounds of negotiations with Texas leadership. The threat of hunting and overclaim was already considered too much by many Vermonters, and anti-war sentiments had begun to worsen across the nation. These sentiments were only worsened by the opinions of Vermont's pacifist founder Princeling. During the first round of negotiations, Texas demanded Vermont's unconditional surrender, aiming to take them out of the war quickly and focus on Cascadia. Vermont refused this offer, insisting on a negotiated peace that returned towns Texas had poached from them in the American South. The first round of negotiations went no further. Princeling insisted that the Vermont government should assist Cascadia without actually being at war itself, viewing the compromise as a way to both support its allies while also keeping Vermont out of harm's way from a war many felt wasn't their's to fight. Others, notably Vice President PurplePunch, wanted to accept Texas' offers for peace and become allies. President SergioTheCrafter, themselves a former Cascadian president, continued their support for the war. In the evening of July 3, the Vermont General Assembly voted to overturn the president's declaration of war. Texas declined to accept this withdraw, saying their war with Vermont would not conclude until a treaty was agreed to.<br /> <br /> On July 4, Samisol used a loophole in the rules and Vermont's nation spawnpoint to have their name removed under Rule 2.1 (Nation named after inappropriate location). Evidently, the Vermont nation spawn was not in the U.S. state of Vermont, despite most of the capital town being in Vermont. With Vermont's name removed, Samisol created the nation of Vermont himself, declaring it to be the true Vermont, and joining Texas as a state. Shortly after this move, Texas proposed a treaty with Vermont which would have all of southern Vermont annexed into Texas, with Vermont itself contained into New England and Canada. Texas also demanded 1.2k in gold from Vermont to make up for Texas' expenditures in their Eastern Offensive. Both Sergio and Prince rejected this deal, despite LyoshaFury's increasingly desperate cries for peace. LyoshaFury would also claim in OFN channels that Vermont had no part in the war, and that Cascadia had &quot;done nothing.&quot; This was quickly rebutted by Cascadian leadership, who stated they had already begun placing towns in Texas and were actively trying to help Vermont get its nation name back. When asked what they could do to help Vermont more, Princeling requested gold, and on July 9 the Cascadian Legislature issued a loan of 750g to be given to Vermont so long as they remained in the war. Vermont never accepted the gold due to their ongoing peace negotiations. On July 5, with anti-war sentiments mounting, the General Assembly voted to impeach Sergio, making PurplePunch president. With Sergio gone, Vermont entered into a 3rd round of peace negotiations. Texas demanded good relations with Vermont, that Vermont explicitly say they had surrendered, and the border agreement and gold payment from the previous round of negotiations. These terms were seemingly agreed to at first by President PurplePunch, though less supported by Princeling and others. Samisol then added that they could not &quot;let Cascadia fuck this up&quot; and that &quot;The town of Weezer2 needs to be kicked from the nation tonight or the price of surrender goes up.&quot; Weezer2 was still in Cascadia at this time. On July 6, Vermont's nation name was returned to them by EMC mods and PurplePunch proposed a bill to surrender to Texas and agree to terms. The bill failed, likely due to lobbying from Princeling and others.<br /> <br /> Outside peace negotiations, Texas continued its offensive into Vermont territory by capturing more towns, notably the anti-war town of Philadelphia. By July 17, nearly all of the American South was predominantly under Texan control, with Vermont pushed back to New England. On July 14, Princeling (who by this time was considered by many to be the de-facto leader of Vermont) published an OP-ED regarding the war to [[TBI]], which he used to justify Vermont's actions in the war thus far, including the anti-war sentiments in Vermont, his feelings regarding Texan aggression, and his thoughts on Vermont's new alliances with the NSR. Notably, the OP-ED criticized Cascadia and directly referred to them as a bad ally, going so far as to suggest that the war was entirely Cascadia's fault and that Vermont was beholden to their treaty agreements with Cascadia. On July 22, Vermont agreed to a ceasefire with Texas, with both sides promising not to place more siege towns, many towns poached from Vermont being given permanently to Texas, and Vermont paying 200g. Neither of these developments were taken lightly by Cascadia and other OFN allies, notably Laurentia and Havaiki (the latter of which still recalled Vermont's actions during the Zealandia Civil War). Vermont's actions leading up to this point even led Laurentian founder and former Cascadian President [[TylenolEC]] to post a vote to expel Vermont from the OFN on July 14. According to Tylenol and [[MasterEWild]], Vermont had not only been attempting to escape OFN obligations, but also their treaty obligations with their former nation of Laurentia. The vote would fail as most OFN members agreed it was better to keep working with Vermont even as they tried to leave the war. After the July 22 ceasefire, activity on the Eastern Front would mostly slow to a halt by late July, though sporadic Texan hunting against Vermonters would continue to keep Vermont engaged until the end of the war.<br /> <br /> === The 7/23 Nuking ===<br /> On July 21, 2024, Raptor's term as President of Cascadia came to a close, and Lovelyfurball succeeded him. Furball had been Raptor's preferred choice, due to his involvement in the war up to that point, his recruiting skills, and his experience fighting wars in the Middle East as King of [[Aurora:Israel|Israel]]. Around 10:05 PM PT (12:05 AM CT; 1:05 AM EST) on July 22, Furball was attempting to add the &quot;cesspool&quot; role to Samisol shortly before going to bed. By accident, he instead gave Samisol the &quot;admin&quot; role, giving Samisol complete access to the Cascadian discord. Samisol then alerted a GC of high-ranking Texans and allied leaders. A plan of action was quickly formulated in-call: first, channels deemed 'noteworthy' would be downloaded via Samisol's modified discord client and packaged into a .rar file for later review. Samisol himself, alongside a younger Texan named jp.f, would complete the nuking. Nearly 300 Cascadians were banned or kicked, almost all roles were deleted, and all but 2 channels were deleted. To the amazement of Cascadian officials, these were the passed-laws and passed-resolution channels, the only channels needed to keep the institutions of the nation intact. The total 'active time' in the nuke was around 30min, and Cascadian response was delayed due to it being extremely early in the morning. Among the final changes was the name and icon of the server changed to &quot;Total Texan Victory&quot;. As Cascadian leadership scrambled to figure out what had happened, Furball was removed from many government channels for fear of him being a Texan spy, and the government began to discuss how to reassure confidence amongst Cascadians after the nuking of the Discord. [[Arcadian]] and experienced Discord admin [[Dracnoian]] was given admin powers in the immediate aftermath of this incident, in order to help rebuild the discord from scratch. By morning on July 23, most channels and roles had been restored.<br /> <br /> The personal security threat of the Texan nuking was also deemed extreme by many. Texas at this time was still harboring a number of known doxxers, most notably Bonzzil. Cascadian leaders were advised to change passwords on their accounts and check their personal internet footprints for leaks. The fact that Furball, who up to this point was still a major suspect in the nuking, had access to the casual GC with personal information of Cascadian leadership was also concerning. Rocksthunder, in an attempt to protect his personal information from being doxxed, would leave the GC and swear further fealty to Texas. At 11:03 PM PT, July 22, the cabinet declared Furball (who was asleep by that time) inable to exercise his powers as president, making Vice President Setrus Acting President. Furball, embarrassed by the incident and recognizing it would be difficult to recover from, officially resigned from the presidency at 10:41 AM PT on July 23. Texas would declare victory over Cascadia at 11:15 PM PT (1:15 AM CT; 2:15 AM EST), July 22, citing the nuking of the Cascadian discord and the capture of most of California. Cascadia immediately rejected the declaration of victory that same day, with Milgorn stating that &quot;Cascadia firmly rejects the declaration of victory by Texas. The Texan bastards will pay for their action. We will never surrender, even if it is us against the world.&quot; An additional Cascadian response would be issued on July 26, making note of recent Texan bans (including some for doxxing), and promising the continue the war.<br /> <br /> The nuking drew widespread reactions from across the international community. Nunavik, who effectively succeeded Laurentia around July 17, condemned Texas and demanded that they return the download of the Cascadian discord to Cascadia. Pilbara, whose involvement was limited to the placement of Weezer2, effectively withdrew their active involvement from the conflict due to Vermont's ceasefire and the nuking. In the aftermath of the 7/23 Nuking, the war would enter into a period of relative inactivity. Many in Texas believed that the war was effectively over, and that they had won it. Samisol's activity would begin to dwindle after the nuking, until he eventually quit and never returned in early August. The wartime presidencies of Rocky and Lukedcool (the latter of whom presided over the nuking) would fade into the activity and economic-focused presidency of JoeJoe77. For Cascadia, the 7/23 Nuking was a major milestone in both the war and the nation's history. It is considered by many to have been the most significant attack against Cascadia in the nation's history. It wouldn't be until several weeks later that Cascadia began to operate normally again, and counteroffensives returned as an option. Despite the loss of nearly 2 years of national history in the nuking, the event would eventually become a symbol of Cascadian resilience, often compared to the [[Battle of Oceanside]]. The 7/23 Nuking is also considered to have been the turning point of the war. As Raptor would say of the attack, quoting Winston Churchil, &quot;The darkest hour is just before dawn.&quot;<br /> <br /> === The Cascadian Summer Offensive ===<br /> WIP<br /> <br /> === The Fall of Texas ===<br /> Throughout the Summer of 2024, many significant Texan figures and close friends of North_Paso were banned including LivingHumanBeing, BonZZil, and TheAmazingMoe. Ghostyuu, then leader of the nation [[Aurora:USA|USA]], was responsible for these bans and notably utilized knowledge of doxx lists and other illegal behavior for the bans.<br /> <br /> In early September 2024, a Discord call occurred between KARN4, 911saph, North_Paso, 2SCAVA (aka ChildMineWorker, CMW), and a furry known as Nephi affiliated with KARN4. The call acted as a conference between the Mexican Empire and Texas with the goal of sorting out border conflicts and other disagreements. 2SCAVA secretly recorded the call and posted them to the EarthMC Discord forums as three videos.[https://discord.com/channels/219863747248914433/1282883893116010496/1282883893116010496 &lt;nowiki&gt;[1]&lt;/nowiki&gt;] Things quickly heated up between KARN4 and North_Paso, who was particularly frustrated about the failures of Texas forming the Rio Grande Empire, something that required parts of Northern Mexico, the Yucatan, and California. After 1 minute and 3 seconds into the third video, North_Paso stormed out of the call yelling, &quot;Now I'm off my fucking rocker ... I gotta [5x] fucking leave I gotta- gotta fucking leave the VC so that I can fucking calm down. Lets talk again tomorrow, okay? I am fucking open to negotiations, I'm just a little upset, okay? I'll let you go and-see ya.&quot;[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1251286254990000259/1282594487482454057/Paso_coke_freakout_3.mp4?ex=697514f3&amp;is=6973c373&amp;hm=e19a149c36aa7c8ba09a960b54cb7f19ea8af79c71e35f8d41ee96ba716b1c4f&amp; &lt;nowiki&gt;[1]&lt;/nowiki&gt;] A little afterwards this call, KARN4 would end up stealing the entirety of the I WANT GOLD casino profits, over 50,000 gold, which North_Paso had access to however kountr (friend of Ghostyuu) technically owned.<br /> <br /> By the end, North_Paso stepped down from his title as king and quit EarthMC, although he later returned in 2025.<br /> <br /> === Negotiations &amp; Peace ===<br /> WIP<br /> <br /> == Aftermath ==<br /> WIP<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> # Multiple Sources - [VIDEOS] North Paso crashing out after Mexican Empire Negotiations , leading to 50000g stolen.

It is considered to have been the largest conventional battle of the both the Second RMF War and the RMF Wars as a whole. The battle marked the end of the historic city of Oceanside, famously founded by Milgorn123, and the beginning of the uncertainty and backwards development that eventually continued into the town of Copper. and ultimately Astoria. Although the battle is considered to have ended in a stalemate, it is treated as a historic victory amongst many Cascadians.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> In March 2023, residents of Cascadia's Great North region seceded from Cascadia to form the Rocky Mountain Federation (or RMF). The movement was led by PvPer [[8set]], and cited their reasons for secession as being boredom with Cascadian politics, a lack of representation for their interests, and disagreements over Cascadia's CascAID program, which required mayors who took welfare from the system to repay it should they ever leave the nation. On March 5, 2023, the town of Banff seceded and refused to pay its CascAID debts, beginning the First RMF War. The movement initially saw some success, with many towns in the Great North seceding to join the RMF's cause. However, the RMF faced early difficulties due to Cascadian hunters and a widespread trade embargo led by Cascadia. The RMF would also attempt to lead an embargo against Cascadia, though they were ultimately not as successful. On March 16, 2023, Cascadia and the RMF signed the Treaty of Banff, ending the First RMF War. In the treaty, the Cascadia agreed to recognize the RMF as a sovereign enclave within Cascadia's territory, and forgive the RMF's CascAID debts, while the RMF became a vassal of [[Portugal (Aurora)|Portugal]] in order to be watched over.<br /> [[File:OceansideRiverfrontPreWar.webp|left|thumb|473x473px|Columbia riverfront of Oceanside (From Olympia); Circa May 2023]]<br /> <br /> This period of peace came to an end on April 6, 2023, when a Cascadian town named &quot;Prince_George&quot; was founded in what was considered RMF territory. This, alongside continued hostilities from Cascadia towards the RMF after the Treaty of Banff, caused the RMF to declare war on April 8, beginning the Second RMF War. From the beginning of the war, the RMF saw gradual success from small PvP engagements and increased international support, including from nations such as Texas, [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochina]], and Paraguay. The RMF declares its complete independence from Portugal on May 24, 2023. On May 30, the RMF successfully captured the town of Port Orchard (now Bakhmut), after Mayor [[Moxie|Moxiecodone]] deleted it in order for adjacent towns, including [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] and [[Olympia]], to claim the area. The RMF, which had a greater number of experienced PvPers than Cascadia, repeatedly came out victorious in PvP engagements in both the Port Orchard area and through RMF territory in the Great North through the month of June. By the time of the Battle of Oceanside, the RMF had received support, usually in the form of gold or PvPers, from Texas, Indochina, Persia, Paraguay, the [[Aurora:Antarctic Union|Antarctic Union]], the Oriental Force, and Tripolitania.<br /> <br /> In early March 2023, Moxie, had become mayor of the historic town of Oceanside, which had originally been founded by [[Milgorn123]] in 2022. It wasn't a secret that Milgorn was uneasy about Moxie being the mayor of Oceanside, especially as she wanted to rebuild the town into an urban city compared to the sea of spruce buildings it had been. But Milgorn was nostalgic for his own town and wanted as much of it preserved as possible which caused drama with Moxie. On May 14, 2023, Moxie was found guilty in Akeboun V. Moxies_Hoe, with Moxie being found in violation of the Anti-Discrimination Law that she had originally proposed, after telling Akeboun to &quot;kill yourself&quot; as Akeboun was a member of the Frontier. Moxie also ran into drama regarding her old town of Yakima. At the end of May, Small_Cat handed over Yakima to Bachinuni. In June Bachinuni completely flattened Yakima with Milgorn wanting to turn it into farms. Yakima was offered to be rebuilt by Bachinuni if Moxie paid for it, however to prevent that Milgorn banned Moxie from Cascadia's main build server at the time. On June 26th with no progress, Yakima was handed to ViolentVampire who gave it to BurlyGator, a random player from Newfoundland, where it then left Cascadia and joined the RMF. As revenge, Moxie decided to delete Oceanside. Near midnight on the night of July 3, Moxie deleted Oceanside, informing Cascadian officials, notably [[Setrus]], that she was deleting the town. Alongside Setrus, she also gave a more subtle notice to 8set, who was still the RMF's primary leader.<br /> <br /> == Engagement ==<br /> [[File:SouthOceansideScramble.webp|thumb|Scramble for southern Oceanside]]<br /> By 11:18 pm PST on July 3, Cascadian General [[EstiQT]] had created a group chat named OPERATION LNFALL COMMS for coordinating Cascadia's efforts to reclaim Oceanside before the RMF could, designating the plan as Operation LNFALL. Also involved in the coordination of Cascadia's efforts during the battle were President [[WrestlingWithGod]], Secretary of Interior [[EmpressCorgo]], Secretary of State Milgorn123, Secretary of Defense RealLIMPOPO, Representative 4llies, Voidus_X, Sylxgravt, and Setrus. BearHugBuddha and [[TylenolEC]] also participated in the battle. The initial Cascadian plan was to focus on claiming the northern area of Oceanside, which bordered the capital city of Olympia. The plan was to form a new town in the area, named &quot;Seaside&quot;, and claim south and east, eventually blocking off the RMF's claiming from the north and east. Although at the time of the battle it was possible to go in and out of claims to avoid being killed during PvP, Esti originally proposed a claiming strategy that avoided PvP entirely, by going underneath the city and claiming from there. While Esti would use this tactic through the course of the battle, the majority of Cascadians would remain on the surface, usually using invisibility potions. Going into the battle, Cascadian commanders did not have high hopes, as from the start of the battle the RMF had 8 people online and 1.5k gold prepared. Milgorn would point out, &quot;The goal is not to win. It's to push them back,&quot; setting up the Cascadian goal for the battle to be preventing a major loss rather than achieving a major victory. <br /> [[File:OperationLNFALLWarPlan.webp|none|thumb|688x688px|Original Operation LNFALL war plans (Prepared RMF siege town can be seen in the bottom left)]]<br /> [[File:Pvpincascadia.webp|none|thumb|420x420px|Infamous post from The Blockbuster Insider at 12:42 am PST. It is speculated that this was specifically posted by the RMF to cause chaos on the soon-to-become battlefield.]]<br /> [[File:OceansideCascadiaGroupPicture.webp|none|thumb|532x532px|Cascadians involved in the battle (Top row, from left: RealLIMPOPO, BearhugBuddha, WrestlingWithGod, EstiQT; Bottom row, from left: Voidus_X, FieldsOfWheat, Milgorn123, DaCorgoKing aka EmpressCorgo, Setrus, Sylxgravt)]]<br /> Sometime shortly after 1:12 am PST, July 4, the old town of Oceanside officially fell, and both sides began claiming the ruins. Cascadia began claiming from the north, while the RMF began claiming from a prepared siege town, named &quot;Walla Walla&quot;, just off the northwest coast of Oceanside. During this stage of the battle, Covenhal, who had been described as &quot;two-faced&quot; by Cascadians during the RMF Wars, would distract North_Paso while WrestlingWithGod and BearHugBuddha claimed chunks. Some Cascadians have described this event as &quot;The redemption of Covenhal&quot;. However, the RMF had more gold and players online at the beginning of the battle, allowing them to quickly claim north and block the Seaside push from reaching the sea and pushing south. By 1:15 am PST, the town of Seaside had been completely cut off to its west. Meanwhile, in the southern part of Oceanside, around 1:38 am PST the RMF responded by focusing on claiming south of Oceanside with a second town named walllla wallla. However, by this time, Cascadia had raised more manpower and gold than the RMF had on-hand, and was able to move more quickly. By this point the race to claim the southern half of the former town had also become a PvP engagement, with Cascadian forces generally using harming pots and both sides abusing claim protections to avoid death. It was also around this time that help from the RMF's ally of Texas, primarily for the Texan King North_Paso, arrived in Oceanside. <br /> <br /> By 1:35 am PST, both sides were fully focused on claiming the south. Ultimately, thanks to the influx of support coming online to bring in gold and manpower, Cascadian forces managed to outflank the RMF, surrounding the town of walllla wallla and cutting off the RMF push from the north. By 1:44 am PST, Cascadian command had begun planning elsewhere, including defensive claiming in present-day Sullivan Bay and offensive claiming in Haida Gwaii. With the fallen area of Oceanside claimed, the focus on both sides became planning next moves and deciding the fate of their respective parts of the former town. Cascadia would begin planning future claiming of vulnerable areas and the rebuilding of infrastructure connecting to Oceanside, while the RMF began tearing down much of Oceanside's historic district, including, at 2:11 am PST, burning down a large pride flag in northern Oceanside. Around 1:37 am PST, Esti submitted an EMC support ticket reporting Wailla Walla for claimblocking. The report that was accepted by the mod team later that day, leading to Wailla Walla's deletion, and Cascadian control of the entire southern area of Oceanside, around 4:59 am PST A number of RMF players were also warned for proximity grief for their actions during the battle, including _sadpoo, North_Paso, DraftBust, and KillerVortexian. KillerVortexian would be banned for a time due to this being his third warn. These warnings/bans around the same time as Wailla Walla's deletion for claimblocking are considered the end of the battle.<br /> [[File:OceansideJuly623.webp|none|thumb|705x705px|The split town of Oceanside (RMF territory marked in red); Circa July 6, 2023]]<br /> <br /> == Aftermath ==<br /> [[File:OceansideIronCurtain.webp|thumb|590x590px|Fence surrounding RMF-controlled Oceanside; Circa late-July 2023 ]]<br /> In the aftermath of the Battle of Oceanside, Oceanside was split in two. The RMF predominately held control of the northern part of the town (with the exception of Seaside), while Cascadia held control of the southern part of the town. Both sides of the split town were left in ruins from its former self, especially on the RMF side, where many historic buildings, and the large pride flag, were burned to the ground. Walla Walla would later be captured and returned to Cascadia in late August 2023, after it was bought by [[KARN4]]. Following the capture of northern Oceanside, the entire area (with the exception of Seaside) would come under the control of the Cascadian town of Copper. Under Copper, the area was rolled back to its original world generation on 3 separate occasions, completely erasing what was left of the original Oceanside. Copper would control the area from September 2023 until Setrus purchased the town and created present-day Astoria on June 8, 2024. Astoria has since become one of the largest and most developed towns in Cascadia, and is home to a local memorial remembering the sacrifices of the battle. It was purposefully placed east of the reconstructed main gate from the original Oceanside, which held significant value during the life of the town and the battle. Ironically, the memorial is located near the heart of what was once RMF-controlled Walla Walla.<br /> <br /> The town of Seaside would continue to be owned by Cascadian holders until it finally fell on Christmas Day, December 25, 2023, and was claimed by Wagner forces before Cascadia could find a new mayor to claim the area. The former Seaside would remain under Wagner, Texas, and later Cascadian control until it was deleted on June 23, 2024. The territory was then incorporated into Astoria, reuniting the former territory of Oceanside. Astoria still controls the area today, and it is home to a number of small shops, a Blockbuster, the headquarters of The Astorian newspaper, and the Astoria Police and Fire Department.<br /> [[File:SequoiaLeadersUtah.webp|none|thumb|505x505px|Leaders of Sequoia visiting Salt Lake City, Utah (From left: Jellioh, 42Forest aka Rocksthunder, NotMakarov, Moomincrimes, (?)_Ate_My_Cat, Moxiecodone)]]<br /> Moxie would later regret her deletion of Oceanside, saying &quot;I didn't realize how much they ruined it.&quot; After the deletion of Oceanside, she created the nation of Utah in Salt Lake City, which was best known for being mostly trans-women. Utah would join the Sequoia meganation, which was dominated by Rocksthunder's Jefferson. Moxie would remain there for several months, until eventually moving to Jefferson proper to help create the Passage Bay metro just north of [[San Francisco]]. Alongside most of Jefferson, she rejoined Cascadia as a Jeffcadian in November 2023. She has since acted as Secretary of Interior on 3 different occasions, under Presidents Setrus, [[Paper1emur]], [[Farosh_]], Capitanfra, and 4Floppas. From April 20 to May 18, 2024, she served as the 21st [[President of Cascadia]]. This transition from much-hated terrorist and even traitor to mainstream politician and president has been described by political scientists as [[Moxification]].<br /> <br /> Views on the Battle of Oceanside amongst Cascadians vary. WrestlingWithGod, who was President at the time of the battle, referred to its significance in its &quot;uniting Cascadia again against the many invading foes.&quot; When asked about the legacy of the battle on Cascadia, Milgorn referred to how it &quot;United Cascadians against the RMF, created visible scars from the war which mobilized Cascadians, and provided leverage for future RMF negotiations.&quot; Overall, the battle has been viewed by many Cascsadians as symbol of Cascadian perseverance, and remembrance of the battle remains a patriotic tradition to the present day. It has also been noticed that, although many older Cascadians still treat the battle with patriotic respect, many younger Cascadians who joined the nation after the end of the RMF Wars often do not remember it or its impact.<br /> <br /> == Images ==<br /> The Battle of Oceanside was one of the best recorded events in the Cascadian history, and as thus many screenshots and recordings still exist from the battle.<br /> [[File:RMFBurningPrideFlag.webp|none|thumb|418x418px|RMF burning a pride flag located in northern Oceanside]]<br /> [[File:OceansideJuly423.png|none|thumb|419x419px|Borders of Oceanside before Wailla Walla's deletion for claimblock (RMF territory marked in red)]]<br /> [[File:OceansideCascadiaGroupRuins.webp|none|thumb|423x423px|Cascadian forces pose in war-torn Oceanside]]<br /> [[File:OceansideRoadPreWar.webp|none|thumb|427x427px|Road in Oceanside prior to the battle]]<br /> [[File:OceansideRoadRuins.webp|none|thumb|432x432px|Road in Oceanside after the battle]]{{Republic of Cascadia (Aurora)}}<br /> [[Category:Help]]<br /> [[Category:Article Layout Templates]]</div>
