|event6date=1 January 2023}}'''Cascadia''', officially the '''Republic of Cascadia''', is a country and sovereign state located on the West Coast of [[North America (Continent)|North America]]. It has a diverse geography, with rugged landscapes that include rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, and grassy plains, and borders [[Aurora:Texas|Texas]] and [[Aurora:Wollaston|Wollaston]] to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, [[Alaska (disambiguation)|Alaska]] to the north, and [[Aurora:Mexico|Mexico]] to the south. With a population of 500, it is the most populated nation in the Pacific Northwest and is the 2nd most populous in North America, ranking 7th worldwide. The capital of Cascadia is [[Olympia]] and its largest city is Oceanside, with major blocks of population fairly evenly distributed across the nation's territory. Since October 8, 2022, the in-game nation of [[Washington (Aurora)|Washington]] has been apart of Cascadia as a vassal, and is treated as apart of the nation of Cascadia for all political purposes, despite its status in-game as separate.

Cascadia originated from the settlement of the city of Seattle on the first day of the server, which was established as the third town in North America. It was founded by Chrysoprasus, along with [[Vorobyevite]], [[EstiQT]], and [[SayerQT]], and was intended to be a trading outpost and to eventually form a nation called [[Washington (Aurora)|Washington]]. This plan soon turned downhill, with an unfavorable and unstable geopolitical position in the Region dominated by [[California (Aurora)|California]], with many members from this original cast of founders leaving to Russia, leaving SayerQT alone to run the rump of a settlement, eventually moving to a new settlement in Olympia. SayerQT created the nation of Cascadia, with its capital in Olympia, and including the town of Seattle, on July 13, 2022, much to the dismay of the nearby [[Oregon Empire]] who saw their northwest hegemony threatened. Cascadia soon became an associate nation of New Mexico, a state of the United States of America, and signed a mutual defense treaty with [[Australia (Aurora)|Australia]]. It soon grew, with many new towns in the area either joining or being founded by Cascadia, and while a full democracy was planned from the start, a Provisional Constitution was ratified and first general elections for President, Chief Judge, and the House of Representatives were held on [[August 2022 Cascadia general election|August 17, 2022]], electing acting President SayerQT for a full term as its first [[President of Cascadia|President]] with 82.4% of the vote.

Under the [[Presidency of ViolentVampire|presidency of ViolentVampire]], the nation experienced rapid growth, and oversaw the [[Six-Hour War]] and the subsequent liberation of Washington from Oregon and the incorporation of Washington into Cascadia. This, tied with the later outright purchase of Oregon in December 2022, led to Cascadia being the undisputed power in the Western United States, with territory as far north as the Arctic Ocean and as far south as Phoenix. Throughout the course of 2023, Cascadia solidified its influence, both regionally and internationally, while simultaneously fending off against internal and external forces, including divisive politics, regional populism, the secession of the Rocky Mountain Federation, the fascist Osoyoos movement, and the nascent Wagner Group, and dozens of minor forces that chipped at the sovereignty of the Republic. In June 2024, Texas invaded Cascadia and started the Great American War, which concluded with a Cascadian victory with the signing of the Treaty of Vancouver that September. Despite the challenges, Cascadia continues to be a strong and influential liberal democracy.

Cascadia is a unitary constitutional presidential republic, with three separate branches of government, including a unicameral [[legislature]] consisting of an elected House of Representatives, an executive branch headed by a [[President of Cascadia|President]], and a judicial branch headed by a Supreme Court. Cascadia is a founding member of the [[Aurora:Organization of Free Nations|Organization of Free Nations]] and enjoys key relationships with major trade partners such as [[Brazil (Aurora)|Brazil]] and regional political partners such as Vermont and Texas. It is a social democracy with a [[Social Democracy|social market economy]], notable for its large public sector. The nation is notable for its democracy, currently existing as not only one of the largest democracies on the server and the longest continuously existing democracy in minecraft. The nation's Department of State maintains active relations with multiple nations across the server, while the Department of Defense combats its enemies.

==Etymology==
The earliest attested use of the term "Cascades" in real life the mountain range dates to 1825, in the writings of botanist David Douglas. During geological explorations in the early 1900s the term was first applied to the region. The name 'Cascadia' was first used by the town Cascadia, Oregon that was settled in 1890 in what is now Linn County. The name "Cascadia" was first applied to the [[wikipedia:Cascadia_(bioregion)|whole geologic region]] by Bates McKee in his 1972 geology textbook ''Cascadia; the geologic evolution of the Pacific Northwest''. Later the name was adopted by David McCloskey, a Seattle University sociology professor, to describe it as a bioregion. McCloskey describes Cascadia as "a land of falling waters." He notes the blending of the natural integrity and the sociocultural unity that gives Cascadia its definition.

On many earth towny servers in the vein of EarthMC, Cascadia is a somewhat common nation name to occur in this region of North America, typically being centered in a city such as Seattle or Astoria. On the previous EarthMC server, [[Terra Nova]], the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Republic of Cascadia]] was a democratic republic existing for nearly 3 years in the region, waxing and waning in size and influence throughout the continent. While some members from Terra Nova's Cascadia are apart of Cascadia on Aurora, most of the population and government are different, and Cascadia on Aurora is a completely different nation and entity.

==Geography==
Cascadia is the server's seventh-largest country by total incorporated chunk area, and is the second-largest in North America, behind [[Aurora:Vermont|Vermont]]. The 125 towns located across Cascadia occupy a combined area of 11,248 plots, equal to 1.4 million square kilometers in claimed territory. The unclaimed territory in between towns, which is especially prevalent in the Northern borough of Athabasca, significantly expands the territory of Cascadia beyond what is controlled within towns.

The western border of Cascadia is defined by the Pacific Ocean, which has a significant amount of its population and metropolitan areas, such as Seattle, Olympia, Vancouver, Oceanside, and Los Angeles. Major arterial waterways, such as the Columbia River, Puget Sound, and Salish Sea, define the coastal plains and forested areas that comprises the coast of Cascadia. The Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains divide the coast from inland regions, which exist as deserts, plateaus, and basins that extend to the Rocky Mountains, with plains beyond the Rockies in Alberta and the Great Prairies. The north of Cascadia is dominated by the Yukon Mountains, which mark Cascadia's northwest border with Alaska, and the Mackenzie River basin that drains into the Arctic Ocean.

The National Parks Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior, oversees 9 national parks across Cascadia. Conservation has become a prominent issue as a result of increased urbanization and development.

== Government and politics ==

=== Constitutional framework ===
Cascadia is a unitary constitutional presidential republic with a representative democracy, with supreme power vested in the National Constitution. The constitution however, grants significant reserved powers to the municipalities and towns, meaning that Cascadia can be considered a hybrid system between federalism and unitary government; however nearly all policy is decided and administered nationally. In Cascadia, all power is constitutionally vested in the people, and are exercised through their elected representatives and officials, under the principle of majority rule, with substantial protections for minority interests.

=== Executive branch ===
The executive branch of the government of Cascadia is headed by the [[President of Cascadia]], which the Constitution vests with the executive power. The president is both the head of state (performing ceremonial functions) and the head of government (the chief executive). The National Constitution directs the president to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" and requires the president to swear or affirm to "preserve, protect and defend the National Constitution of Cascadia." Many presidential actions are undertaken via executive orders or other presidential directives, and it is the president's responsibility to administer the Executive Branch and make all appointments and nominations as necessary under the law. The president appoints the [[Cabinet of Cascadia|Cabinet]], which is made up of the heads of the several executive departments responsible for executing public policy and laws. The president is also the commander-in-chief of the National Guard, and is the chief diplomat of the nation. The president is elected together with the vice president for a one-month term at general elections. The current president is HawaiianDPG, having been elected at the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March 2025 general election]].

=== Legislative branch ===
The legislative branch of the government of Cascadia is the [[Legislature of Cascadia]], consisting of a single house, the House of Representatives. General elections are held every month concurrently with elections for President, and as of the most recent election it consists of 15 seats. Members represent multi-member constituencies to which they are elected from. Legislation may be initiated by any representative. The House also elects a [[Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives|Speaker]], who is the presiding officer of the House of Representatives, currently [[Milgorn123]]. The Vice President has the power to break any ties if necessary, a relic of the Vice President's former power as President of the Legislature prior to the ratification of the current Constitution. All laws passed by the House of Representatives must either be signed or vetoed by the President, however the Legislature may override a presidential veto with a two-thirds supermajority. The Legislature also holds the sole authority over the national budget, declarations of war, treaties, confirmation of presidential appointments, and the sole power of impeachment of all officers of the state.

=== Judicial branch ===
The Judicial Branch of the government of Cascadia is operated as the [[Supreme Court of Cascadia]], headed by a single [[Chief Justice of Cascadia]], as well as two [[List of judges of the Supreme Court of Cascadia|Associate Justices]]. It is widely considered the least important branch of the government, due to how infrequent it is used and the small size of its bureaucracy and process. It has original jurisdiction over all matters relating to Cascadia, its towns, or its people, and the Chief Justice presides over impeachment trials in the Legislature. While cases at all are rare, criminal cases are even rarer, with the most common type of case taken by the Court being civil suits that often turn into cases of constitutional review. The current Chief Justice is SayerQT, having been appointed to the post by EmpressCorgo.
There is also an elected Public Advocate, serving for a term of two-months, that acts as a public defender and a legal representative of the people in contrast to the state, represented by the cabinet member and presidential appointee, the Attorney General.

=== Elections ===
Elections are held every month in Cascadia, every month electing the President, House of Representatives, and deciding whether to retain the Supreme Court justices for another month. The President is elected by instant-runoff voting, and the House of Representatives is elected in multi-member divisions electing several members each via nonpartisan proportional representation (also known as Single Transferable Vote). Referendums often occur on amendments to the Constitution, which are necessary for their ratification. Elections are officially nonpartisan, however historically factions have existed that have played a part in presidential and legislative elections. The current constituencies used in legislative elections are Great North, Metropolitan, Southern, and Frontier.

=== Subdivisions ===
Cascadia is subdivided into nine boroughs, one special municipality (The [[Olympia|National Capital City of Olympia]]), and one special external borough (Cascadian Texas). These boroughs have limited levels of administrative authority over matters such as infrastructure and justice, however are wholly subservient to the national government and are overseen by the Department of Home Affairs. The people of a borough may decide to appoint a borough committee to advise the national Home Secretary on borough-specific policy, however such powers are advisory or simply administrative. The National Capital City of Olympia, as a unique case, has an elected Executive and Legislative Assembly which make ordinances on an expanded set of policy matters as devolved by the National Government, including in the creation of criminal ordinances, regulation of finance, and appropriations.

These boroughs are further subdivided into the core administrative unit of Cascadia, which are its municipalities, cities, and towns. There are 125 municipalities in the Republic of Cascadia, each overseen by a mayor (besides Olympia). Towns are the smallest unit of administration in Cascadia, and the National Constitution vests them with supreme authority over property and management of their local populace, supreme to that even of the National Government.

=== Foreign relations ===
The Republic of Cascadia has an established structure of foreign relations, and it has the world's second-largest diplomatic corps as of 2025. It is a leading and founding member of the Organization of Free Nations and is home to the OFN's headquarters in Seattle. Cascadia has a "Special Relationship" with Vermont and the Midwestern Union, and strong ties with Wollaston, Pilbara, Texas, Brazil, and several other OFN and democratic nations. Cascadia works closely with its OFN allies on military and national security issues, and with several other countries such as the Soviet Union and Nebraska through independent bilateral agreements. In South America, Brazil is traditionally considered to be the closest ally of the Cascadia. Since late 2024, Cascadia has become a key ally of Finnmark; it has also provided the country with significant military equipment and other support in response to Scandinavia's December 2024 invasion. As the server's largest and oldest democracy, it wields considerable influence, and has thus been involved in numerous conflicts historically with nations such as Texas, the Rocky Mountain Federation, and presently with California. The current [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|secretary of state]], who leads Cascadia's foreign relations ministry - the State Department - is HawaiianDPG.

=== Military ===
The president is the commander-in-chief of National Guard of Cascadia and appoints its leaders, the secretary of defense and subservient generals. The Department of Defense, which is headquartered in Olympia, administers the National Guard, which is the standing volunteer militia and armed force of Cascadia. The present Secretary of Defense is Akeboun. Cascadia is known for having one of the most advanced and sophisticated intelligence programs on the server.
==History==
===Pre-History===
In Terra Nova, the region was mostly dominated by first by the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Republic of Cascadia]], then later split between Cascadia, the [[Salish Confederation]], and the [[Jefferson|State of Jefferson]], the former two eventually merging to form the [[Evergreen Republic]] four months prior to the announcement of Terra Aurora. Cascadia on Nova, the Salish Confederation, and the later Evergreen Republic were all pillars of democracy and self-rule in a mostly autocratic server; and the system's dominance over the region was profound. When Terra Aurora was announced, the Evergreen Republic was not unified in their path to settle on the new server. A large chunk went on to form [[Nevada]] in the southwestern united states, some citizens who ended up leaving Evergreen just before the release of Aurora ended up forming what is now the [[Oregon Empire]], and many settled and formed [[Mexico]], as well as lots of other evergreen diaspora across the new server in places such as [[California (Aurora)|California]] or [[Indochina (Aurora)|Indochina]]. However, a few Evergreen citizens, led by EstiQT ended up deciding on staying in the Northwest, and to create a trading outpost called Seattle on the first day of the server, to gather resources, to become a trading hub, and to eventually create a nation called Washington.

===Settlement of Seattle & Pre-Creation===
When Aurora Early Access was released, Seattle was made fairly early, becoming the third town to be made on the [[North America (Continent)|North American continent]]. The town expanded and began development, however, the nearby Oregon Empire was soon established, nearly completely eclipsing their planned nation, by now referred to as "Cascadia" as an idea. Oregon, then under the authority of California, did not respect any claims or stakes of Cascadia to any part of land whatsoever, and in border talks laid claim to all areas under claim by Cascadia, which by now was whittled down to just a tiny pocket of Cascadia. Due to the increasing pressure, stress, and unfavorable geopolitical situation in the region, major leaders Vorobyevite, EstiQT, and Chrysoprasus left Seattle to form towns in Siberia, named Tomsk and Novosibirsk, taking with them most of the gold in the Seattle bank, and leaving town councillor SayerQT to become the second mayor of Seattle. With the town left destitute, SayerQT began a period of regaining wealth for the town, as well as gradually increasing the playerbase of the planned nation from just herself to a handful, with herself eventually leaving Seattle to xX_cMac_Xx, and forming the settlement of [[Olympia]] on May 21, 2022. This was a giant period of inactivity for the planned nation as a whole, who was not seen as legitimate by any nation due to most of the towns being nationless towns in a region increasingly dominated by the now-independent Oregon Empire.

===Nationhood, New Mexico, and Hostility with Oregon===
On July 13, 2022, Cascadia was formed by SayerQT, with its capital in Olympia, and was quickly joined by the town of Seattle, and an alliance was formed with the Oregonian duchy of Washington. Cascadia became an associate nation within New Mexico, a state of the USA, for diplomatic protection, and signed a mutual defense agreement as well with Australia. The creation of Cascadia provoked a giant backlash from the King-Emperor of Oregon, OriginalDogster, and the opinion of Washington soon flipped mere hours later, and the position of the Oregon Empire was, in the words of OriginalDogster, "to encircle them and eliminate this threat once and for all". Later that day, Oregon established several towns on every side of Olympia, in order to block the expansion of Olympia, named Elma (to the west), Liliwaup (to the north), and Tacoma (to the south). Renton, a town made a day prior, was assumed to have been a claimblock town, as it was apart of Oregon, however it was just a normal town that happened to join Washington, and later that week joined Cascadia, with its mayor eKatxe taking over the Mayorship of Seattle. It was also around this time that Bend, in Northern British Columbia joined Cascadia. SayerQT formed an interim government in a Grand Council, consisting of all mayors, and the Grand Council granted SayerQT the full authority over the state in a referendum, until inaugural elections would be held in August under a new constitution.

The claimblock towns made by Oregon were assumed by the leadership of Oregon to not be in violation of the EarthMC rules, which state intentionally creating towns to block the expansion of another town is against the rules. However, OriginalDogster repeatedly said "They aren't claimblocks, so they won't be deleted". However, two days later, EMC mods deleted all three towns in conflict with Olympia as violations of EMC rules, and Olympia quickly expanded to absorb the towns. Mayor of Astoria, Ryzenix, soon proved to be an even larger foe to Cascadia than the Oregon government, due to his extreme hostility and defiance of any law or instruction from any authority. Ryzenix during this period killed many Cascadian citizens, with the Oregonian government doing nothing as Oregon considered Ryzenix to not be a state actor.

Nearly a week after the nation's creation, the founding members of Seattle that left to form the Central Siberian Republic, including Vorobyevite, Chrysoprasus, EstiQT, and shattered2907, expressed to SayerQT their decision to move back to the Pacific Northwest due to the lack of opportunity in Central Siberia and to support Cascadia in its struggle against Oregon. They set their eyes on creating the city of Spokane, but this territory was widely seen as hotly contested and disputed between Cascadia and the Oregonian Duchy of Washington. With Cascadia's economy and population skyrocketing, and with attempts by Oregon to eliminate Cascadia failing, Cascadia and Oregon entered negotiations to create a border on July 22, 2022.

The first day of negotiations resulted in a stalemate, with neither side giving up any claimed
territory. On the next day, however, EstiQT, mayor of Tomsk and an impartial mediator due to having recruited both SayerQT (leader of Cascadia) and OriginalDogster (leader of Oregon), became a neutral arbitrator between the two parties in the negotiation process. The negotiations were successful, with the Treaty of Tomsk was signed and put into force on July 23, 2022, ending hostilities between the two nations. Despite this, Ryzenix continued attacking and threatening both Cascadians and the Oregonian city of Neah Bay, being perceived as a nuisance by the general populace of both Cascadia and Oregon. However, OriginalDogster still held out hope that Astoria could stay an Oregonian city due to its close proximity to their capital of Salem. However, Ryzenix left Oregon shortly after the treaty was signed, joining Norcallia and only returning to Oregon occasionally for claims. OriginalDogster eventually won him over and he begrudgingly rejoined Oregon.

=== Period of Expansion, and First Elections ===
On July 23, 2022, Cascadia experienced a boom of expansion, introducing new towns to the nation such as Gifford Pinchot, Helena, Spokane, Kelowna, and a day later purchased Victoria from [[Nevada]], with EstiQT moving back to Cascadia to become Mayor of Victoria. Olympia, the capital, also underwent a large expansion, claiming all the way to the Pacific Ocean, to counterbalance the claiming aggression from Astoria. Ryzenix soon played a different tune, when he sold a few chunks to Olympia for a fairly cheap price, but that was not enough to save him from being banned for alting on July 29, putting Astoria in a statis that it is still in today. Over the course of August, Cascadia would acquire more towns, such as Ruby Ridge, briefly Abbotsford, Port McNeill, and Neah Bay, which quickly catapulted into a booming center of population and activity in the nation.

Alongside the August 2022 American Presidential and U.S. Senate elections, Cascadia held its inaugural elections on August 17 under its newly ratified Constitution written by SayerQT and ratified by the people, electing SayerQT for a full one-month term as the very first [[President of Cascadia]], against Port McNeill Mayor Toasterburnt, with SayerQT receiving 82.4% of votes and Toasterburnt receiving just 17.7%. Bubba_Tea also emerged from a competitive 4-way race to be elected Chief Judge for a two-month term with a plurality of votes, with 35.3%; as well as the voters electing all 12 seats in the first session of the Cascadia House of Representatives, the unicameral legislature of the nation. SayerQT chose [[ViolentVampire]] as her Treasurer, a choice that influenced her term tremendously.

=== Presidency of SayerQT ===
History section is still a WIP

=== Presidency of ViolentVampire ===
ViolentVampire, Treasurer in the SayerQT government, is elected President for the month of September 2022 with 95.2% of votes, the highest in the nation's history, against Mayor of Yakima PavTheYT, receiving only 4.8%. Half of the 12 seats of the House of Representatives were won by newcomers. Former president SayerQT remained in the government, with the position of Vice President. At the same time, cascadian [[Arathorn52]] was elected as Grand Councilor of New Mexico, the Empire's second-in-command.

==== Cascadian Independence from New Mexico ====
As Grand Councilor, Arathorn begins the redaction of a new Constitution for New Mexico with the goal of democratizing the Empire that Cascadia is still part of. This new Constitution restricts the powers of the monarch and establishes a new legislative body, composed of all citizens of the Empire, the Popular Assembly. The Constitution is approved by the New Mexican government and Empress Pastamancer, however she blocks the creation of the Popular Assembly. What follows is a serie of controversial decisions by Empress Pastamancer, leading some cascadians to start to question her leadership.

On September 27th, President ViolentVampire, Secretary of State [[XBest Name Everx|xBest]] and Grand Councilor Arathorn, push to reorganize New Mexico into a confederation giving Cascadia an almost complete autonomy. Pastamancer refuses and evicts Arathorn and all cascadian ministers from New Mexico's government, violating the new constitution and marking the definitive rupture. On September 29th 2022, the House of Representatives votes the independence of Cascadia.

====Operation Dragonflame====
A day after ViolentVampire's victory in the November 2022 election, the nation of Washington rebelled from Cascadia. The small nation had been purchased during the Six Hour War and was implemented into the Republic of Cascadia shortly after it's purchase by illinformed. However, at the time prominent Cascadian DaPigThatBig joined Washington and officially seceded from Cascadia, engaging in an "undeclared war" (in the words of Tylenol), by hunting Cascadians and harassing it's members. However, unbeknownst to anyone in Cascadia, this was part of a planned operation by DaPigThatBig (Pig) in order to acquire the Oregon Empire for Cascadia (which was still, at the time, an enemy of the nation who had engaged in a aggressive behaviors against the nation). The Washington rebellion acquired the town of Newport (a large nation on the southern Oregon Coast) amongst others, leading to Cascadia to call upon it's allies across the server to assist. However, in just two weeks after the original secession, Washington was able to convince Oregon's leader to sell the nation. Upon gaining control of the nation Pig promptly refused to pay. Washington promptly ended the rebellion and revealed it's plan, named Operation Dragonflame, signing a peace treaty with Cascadia and selling the nation of Oregon itself. Left with no nation, the towns of Portland and Salem would join Cascadia shortly after, ending the Oregon Empire's foothold in the region.

=== Presidency of TylenolEC ===
TylenolEC, who was elected in one of the first truly competitive elections in the nation, went on to implement a number of policies promoting the young Republic's rapid growth, allowing it to see some of the largest peaks in activity and population in it's entire history.

Under President Tylenol, all three branches of governments were reformed, with the nation moving past a foundational stage. It's territories expanded greatly, especially outside of the Pacific Northwest, such as into Idaho, Northern California, and Northern British Columbia. The nation also purchased Yellowknife, also accumulating controversy during the purchasing process. Cascadia formed the Pacific Coast Alliance, a short lived but useful alliance with Sonora (in Mexico), and Yamato (in Japan), both of which were quite powerful.

=== Presidency of EstiQT ===
After EstiQT was elected in a less contentious election, but shortly after went inactive along with much of the nation. This resulted in a stagnation of the nation's growth, with the political dynamics of the nation shifting from the united, rarely-contested elections to more political divisiveness with groups such as the Frontier establishing within the nation.

=== Presidency of Milgorn123 ===

=== Banff Insurrection ===
On March 5th, 2023, the town of Banff seceded from the nation to form a new capital, prompting its sister city [[Avola]] to sever ties with its western neighbor, while Cascadia declared Banff mayor EdgyIsRandom among others to be enemies of the state.

In response to a claim arm campaign launched by Banff, Cascadian President [[Milgorn123|Milgorn]] on March 14th funded Avola mayor [[cheeseballfluffy]] with 832 gold to bolster the town in an act of defensive claiming. Soon after an active demilitarized zone was established between the two towns, peace talks concluded on March 16th with the Treaty of Banff being signed by Cascadian and Rocky Mountain officials. This recognized the Rocky Mountain Federation as a sovereign nation, albeit under the direct colonial rule of Portugal, while additionally setting a border between Banff and Avola.

}}''For the polity on Terra Nova that was a province of the Salish Confederation and later the Evergreen Republic, see [[Nova:British Columbia|British Columbia (Terra Nova)]].''

'''British Columbia''', officially the '''Republic of British Columbia''', is a small country and city-state located mostly in the Alaskan Panhandle. It is bordered to the south and east by the [[Aurora:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. Its population is 37, mostly centered in the city of Fjord, its capital.

British Columbia was founded on July 17th, 2023, by the political leaders of the City of Fjord, Cascadia, who were not against Cascadian rule, but rather wished to pursue their own path for their future. The town had purchased the nation of nearby Russian Alaska from the [[Russian Empire (Terra Aurora)|Russian Empire]]. Its independence and sovereignty came into full effect following bilateral agreements with the Government of the Republic of Cascadia and the later ratification of the Treaty of Fjord. It is a member of the Two Seas Federation with the Republic of Vinland, and maintains close diplomatic ties with Cascadia.

British Columbia is a representative democracy operating as a constitutional republic, with separate [[Cabinet|executive]] and [[Legislature|legislative]] branches of government. Unlike the Republic of Vinland, which was formed at a similar time by former Cascadians, its government structure is not based upon Cascadian democracy, and rather incorporates a consulate in which two consuls serve as joint heads of government for renewable two year terms. Legislative power is vested in the Senate of British Columbia, elected by [[Nonpartisan proportionality|proportional representation]] nationwide. British Columbia self-describes itself as a city state, and thus has a smaller government and is mostly limited to the surrounding areas of Fjord.

==History==
==='''Early History'''===
British Columbia was founded by the city of Fjord on July 17th, 2023, following its purchase of Russian Alaska and Juneau. The new nation quickly formed a federation with the nation of Laurentia, called "The Two Seas Federation." The goals of the federation were mutual defense, stronger economic ties, and an increased community between the two nations.

The temporary council of [[Dapigthatbig]] and [[ViolentVampire]] then drafted up a constitution that would govern their nation. The constitution was put to a vote to the general public on July 18, 2023, and it passed with 100% of the responders voting yes. The temporary council then decided that it was time to hold their first elections. These elections would take place on July 22, 2023, and would decide who would get the honor of being in the first legislature of British Columbia. The elections were a success, and the first legislature of British Columbia was formed.

The founding of British Columbia was a significant event in the history of the region. It marked the beginning of a new era of cooperation and prosperity for the people of the region. The federation with Laurentia provided British Columbia with a strong ally, and the new legislature was able to develop policies that would benefit the people of the nation.

The founding of British Columbia was a landmark event in the history of the region. It was a time of great change and opportunity, and the new nation was poised for success.

==='''Purchase of Fox'''===
In the later half of July 2023, the government of British Columbia became interested in purchasing the nearby town of Fox. Fox was a small town bordering the western half of Fjord, and its acquisition would have given British Columbia a significant strategic advantage. After weighing out their options, Consul [[Dapigthatbig]] contacted Lumiowo, the mayor of Fox. After some brief negotiation, Lumiowo agreed to give the town of Fox to British Columbia for free, under the conditions that he would become a councilor in the town and that he would be trusted in it permanently. The agreement was made on July 31st 2023, and The British Columbia Consulate appointed Consul ViolentVampire as the new mayor of Fox. With the addition of Fox Town, British Columbia now controlled a massive city-state totaling over 600 chunks.

This acquisition was a significant event in the history of British Columbia. It gave the country a major strategic advantage and helped to solidify its position as a regional power.
The acquisition of Fox Town was also significant because it showed the willingness of British Columbia to cooperate with other towns in the region. The agreement with Lumiowo was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and it helped to build trust and cooperation between the two parties. This cooperation would be essential in the years to come, as British Columbia and other towns in the region faced new challenges and threats.

==Government==
The government consists of two branches a legislative branch made up of a Senate elected monthly and an Executive branch consisting of two Consuls elected every two months.

'''FieldsofWheat''' (spawned May 20th, 2023) is a former Mayor of [[Vancouver]], [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]].

=== Short time on the Server (May 20th, 2023 - June 19th, 2023) ===
FieldsofWheat would return to their ancestral farmland in what is now known as Vancouver on May 20th, 2023. On the same day of their arrival in Vancouver, they would be made Mayor by default. Wheat quickly worked to return Vancouver to its roots as a farm by demolishing all of the buildings and roads and replacing them with wheat fields, a pumpkin patch, and a forest. Shortly after joining Wheat would become an organizer for the Cascadian Farmers Union. His work with the CFU would lead to him getting elected to the [[10th Legislature of Cascadia]] on a platform of farmers' rights. On his first day in office, he proposed over half a dozen pieces of pro-farm legislation. Nearly all of the bills were voted down by the House. Seeing Cascadia's anti-farm attitudes he and the Cascadian Farmers Union would secede from Cascadian creating their own nation, the Cascadian Farmers Republic. The Farmers Republic would eventually reunify with Cascadia after multiple of their grievances were addressed in the Treaty of Vancouver.

After the reunification, Wheat would serve out the remainder of his term in the house and then retire from EarthMC forever.

'''ViolentVampire''' (spawned July 12th, 2022) is a former Mayor of [[Freyja]] and [[Neah bay|Neah Bay]] and a former President of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]].

=== Early Life (July 12th, 2022 - August 17th, 2022) ===
Shortly after joining the server ViolentVampire was recruited into Walla Walla, [[Washington (Aurora)]] by __Bon. When Vamp found out that [[Washington (Aurora)]] was funding towns they jumped at the chance as they already were planning to make a town. With a generous donation of 64 gold from [[Washington (Aurora)]] Vamp founded the town of [[Neah bay]] on July 13th 2022. In the following weeks Vamp would rapidly expand [[Neah bay]], claiming an average of 6 chunks a day.

=== First Month in Cascadia (August 17th, 2022 - September 16th, 2022) ===
In the [[August 2022 Cascadia general election]] Vamp was elected to the Cascadian house and was appointed as treasurer by President SayerQT. As a rep and treasurer Vamp would introduce multiple important pieces of legislation. The two most important pieces of legislation introduced by vamp were the Recruitment Act which created the Department of Recruitment (now the Department of Social Services) and Cascadian Town Expansion Act commonly known as CascAID which created a welfare program for towns.

=== Life as President (September 16th, 2022 - December 18th, 2022) ===
[[Presidency of ViolentVampire]]

=== Retirement ===
On January 16th, 2023, ViolentVampire quietly retired from the server to the surprise of many Cascadians. Memorials were constructed in various parts of Cascadia.

=== Return (June 19th 2022) ===
On June 19th Vamp returned to build the town of [[Aurora:Fjord|Fjord]] with DaPigThatBig.

'''FieldsofWheat''' (spawned May 20th, 2023) is a former Mayor of [[Vancouver]], [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]].

=== Short time on the Server (May 20th, 2023 - June 19th, 2023) ===
FieldsofWheat would return to their ancestral farmland in what is now known as Vancouver on May 20th 2023. On the same day of their arrival in Vancouver they would be made Mayor by default. Wheat quickly worked to return Vancouver to its roots as a farm by demolishing all of the buildings and roads and replacing them with wheat fields, a pumpkin patch, and a forest. Shortly after joining Wheat would become an organizer for the Cascadian Farmers Union. His work with the CFU would lead to him getting elected to the [[10th Legislature of Cascadia]] on a platform of farmers rights. On his first day in office he proposed over half a dozen pieces of pro farm legislation. Nearly all of the bills were voted down by the House. Seeing Cascadia's anti-farm attitudes he and the Cascadian Farmers Union would secede from Cascadian creating their own nation the Cascadian Farmers Republic. The Farmers Republic would eventually reunify with Cascadia after multiple of their grievances were addressed in the Treaty of Vancouver
[[File:Treaty of Vancouver|frame]]

After the reunification Wheat would serve out the remainder of his term in the house and then retire from earthmc forever.

}}

The '''Cabinet of Cascadia''' is the [[Cabinet|chief executive body]] of the [[Aurora:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It is a body consisting of the vice president of Cascadia and the heads of the executive branch's departments in the government of Cascadia. It is the principal official advisory body to the [[President of Cascadia|president of Cascadia]]. The president chairs the meetings but is not formally a member of the Cabinet. The heads of departments, appointed by the president and confirmed by the [[Cascadia House of Representatives|House of Representatives]], are the members of the Cabinet.

The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. As of now, there are 5 department heads in the current Cabinet. The members of the Cabinet serve at the pleasure of the president, who can dismiss them at any time without the approval of the House. Like all federal public officials, Cabinet members are also subject to impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

The Constitution of Cascadia establishes the Cabinet in Article IV Section 3, authorizing the vice president, together with a majority of the heads of the executive departments, to declare the president "unable to discharge the powers and duties of their office". However, the Cabinet's real role, inferred from the language of the Opinion Clause (Article IV, Section 4) of the Constitution is to provide advice to the president. The heads of the executive departments are eligible—in the presidential line of succession. Until September 20, 2022, the Cabinet was referred to as the '''Executive Council of Cascadia'''.

The incumbent and tenth cabinet of Cascadia, in office since May 21, 2023, is the cabinet of President Setrus.

== Confirmation process ==
The heads of the executive departments and all other federal agency heads are nominated by the president and then presented to the House of Representatives for confirmation or rejection by a simple majority. If approved, they begin their duties.

Shortly after joining Wheat would become an organizer for the Cascadian Farmers Union. His work with the CFU would lead to him getting elected to the [[10th Legislature of Cascadia]] on a platform of farmers rights. On his first day in office he proposed over half a dozen pieces of pro farm legislation. Nearly all of the bills were voted down by the House. Seeing Cascadia's anti-farm attitudes he and the Cascadian Farmers Union would secede from Cascadian creating their own nation the Cascadian Farmers Republic.

[[ViolentVampire]]'s tenure as the [[President of Cascadia#List of presidents|2nd]] [[President of Cascadia|president of Cascadia]] began with his first inauguration on September 17, 2022. Vamp, the Mayor of [[Neah bay|Neah Bay]] who previously served as [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Treasurer|treasurer]] under President [[SayerQT]], took office following his landslide victory in the [[September 2022 Cascadia general election|September presidential election]] over then Neah Bay city councillor PavTheYT. Vamp entered office amid growth and economic development, as well as good relations with most of Cascadia's neighbors, however with mild instability in New Mexico and the USA, of which Cascadia was constituent. A month later in [[October 2022 Cascadia general election|October]], he was re-elected president against San Diego mayor [[Law of Rence|PesosInhaler]] with nearly 90% of the vote, following major successes as President.

The first section of his presidency was largely uneventful, overseeing the continuing expansion and use of CascAid, the Cascadian welfare system set up during the administration of President SayerQT. His presidency was largely dominated by foreign policy decisions, as well as mild domestic reform was done under his watch, and oversaw the drastic increase of the population and influence of the Republic of Cascadia.

Domestically, Vamp signed into law the Armed Forces Creation Act, which formally established the National Guard of Cascadia as the standing military of Cascadia, and put aside funding and resources for its creation and training. He signed into law the National Celebration Act, declaring a national holiday to commemorate the independence of Cascadia from New Mexico every September 28th. He signed into law the Capital Expansion Act, to fund the expansion of [[Olympia]] besides CascAID, and to specifically deal with the fall of Astoria. Vamp's presidency continued the expansion and power of the Treasury and its programs, and a dominant player in his presidency became his Treasurer, jtwokay. Many towns expanded during this period, especially Olympia, Spokane, and Seattle. Seattle finally became active and began recruiting, under the leadership of the Secretary of the Interior and City Councillor Falcoeur. During Vamp's first term, the population of Cascadia more than doubled, with the admission of several new towns, including the purchased Oregonian town of Vancouver on September 20th, and the former Oregonian town of Oceanside, which joined during the Six-Hour war. That war also resulted in the acquisition of [[Washington (Aurora)|Washington]] from Oregon, with it being purchased by the Cascadian government for 2,300g. It is not a federated state or devolved government within Cascadia; the nation is treated like an asset of the Government, and all of its towns are treated, for all intents and purposes, as towns in the nation of Cascadia. ViolentVampire was the first president to officially reside in the Presidential Palace in Olympia, with it being completed under the design of Olympia City Councillor Moxies_Hoe shortly before his second inauguration.

Vamp's presidency was largely dedicated to the increased foreign policy power of Cascadia during this period. Within hours of Vamp taking office, the new King of Oregon reached out to Vamp's new administration, demanding that Cascadia kick the town of Yakima. Vamp refused but offered generous territorial concessions in exchange for Cascadia keeping Yakima, however, was rejected. Oregon continued to aggressively posture over Yakima, while Vamp moved to improve Cascadia’s defensive position by signing various non-aggression pacts. One of Vamp's notable foreign achievements during this period was joining the Pacific Coast Alliance and attempting to reform both the [[New Mexico|New Mexican Empire]] and the United States of America. Vamp, [[Arathorn52]], and [[XBest Name Everx|xBest]]’s attempted at reforming the New Mexican Empire into a new union built on an equal partnership between Cascadia and New Mexico. The then Empress of New Mexico, [[PrimeCyber]] was initially receptive to the idea but during the negotiations, she removed all Cascadian citizens from New Mexico’s government including Grand Councilor Arathorn52 who had been elected in a landslide. This blatant disregard for democracy and New Mexico’s own constitution forced Cascadia to declare independence from New Mexico on September 29th, 2022. Meanwhile, the Oregon government's posturing eventually led to a declaration of war against Cascadia by King Wdym on October 7. Facing fierce opposition from Cascadia and her allies as well as domestic pushback, Wdym___ asked Vamp for peace just 6 hours after declaring war. Vamp agreed to peace provided that Oregon made some concessions, and allowed Cascadia to annex the nation of Washington for 2,300g during the course of the six hours, which was previously an Oregon vassal state. Those initial peace talks would eventually become the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vbXQqaZSxc706zk8hEoZy6QjSYD13BpPJU0qd6MgRvI/edit?usp=sharing Treaty of Oceanside]. Tensions with Oregon remained high, and when reform did not pan out in the United States of America, Cascadia withdrew from the confederation on October 18th.

ViolentVampire enjoyed similar amounts of popularity as his predecessor, SayerQT, hovering between the late 80s, 90%, and near unanimous support. His popularity was significantly benefited by cascadia's victory in the Six-Hour war, but he has been criticized by Oregonians on his inaction regarding the Yakima border dispute.

[[ViolentVampire]]'s tenure as the [[President of Cascadia#List of presidents|2nd]] [[President of Cascadia|president of Cascadia]] began with his inauguration on September 17, 2022. Vamp, the Mayor of [[Neah bay|Neah Bay]] who previously served as [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Treasurer|treasurer]] under President [[SayerQT]], took office following his landslide victory in the [[September 2022 Cascadia general election|September presidential election]] over then Neah Bay city councillor PavTheYT. Vamp entered office amid growth and economic development, as well as good relations with most of Cascadia's neighbors, however with mild instability in New Mexico and the USA, of which Cascadia was constituent. A month later in [[October 2022 Cascadia general election|October]], he was re-elected president against San Diego mayor [[Law of Rence|PesosInhaler]] with nearly 90% of the vote, following major successes as President.

Within hours of Vamp taking office then Oregon King Wdym___ messaged Vamp demanding that Cascadia kick the town of Yakima. Vamp refused but offered generous territorial concessions in exchange for Cascadia keeping Yakima. Wdym rejected this offer, a move that would have major impacts on the region. With Oregon’s aggressive posturing over Yakima, Vamp moved to improve Cascadia’s defensive position by signing various non-aggression pacts, joining the Pacific Coast Alliance, and attempting to reform both the New Mexican Empire and the United States of America. Vamp, [[Arathorn52]], and [[XBest Name Everx|xBest]]’s attempted at reforming the New Mexican Empire into a new union built on an equal partnership between Cascadia and New Mexico.

This blatant disregard for democracy and New Mexico’s own constitution forced Cascadia to declare independence from New Mexico on September 29th 2022. Meanwhile the Oregon government had continued to demand that the town of Yakima be kicked from Cascadia while repeatedly refusing all offers for negotiation from Cascadia. In an attempt to isolate Cascadia from its neighbor Alberta, Oregon's king took some of his dms with Vamp out of context to make it appear that Cascadia was planning an attack on Alberta. Vamp was quick to counter these claims showing the context of the messages to Alberta which revealed that it had been Oregon who had tried to convince Cascadia to work with them to surround Abbotsford, an offer which Vamp strongly refused. Wdym would eventually grow frustrated with Cascadia’s refusal to kick the town, declaring war on Cascadia on October 7th 2022. Upon learning of Oregon’s declaration of war Vamp quickly started planning a response. His first actions were to call up Cascadia’s allies to help them in the conflict and to open talks with Oceanside to see if they would be open to staying neutral. Over the next few hours Vamp and his cabinet would lay the groundwork for a prolonged war effort, creating and beginning to train a national guard, stockpiling armor and weapons in an armory, coordinating with allied militaries and forging a new alliance with the Holy Empire of Rus. Four hours into the war Oceanside approached Cascadia with an offer to join Cascadia provided they got 96 gold to help with claims and protection from Oregon Vamp quickly agreed to these terms. Around the same time Bon_Kranch offered to sell Washington to Cascadia for 2,300 gold, an offer which Vamp also accepted. Facing fierce opposition from Cascadia and her allies as well as domestic pushback, Wdym___ asked Vamp for peace just 6 hours after declaring war. Vamp agreed to peace provided that Oregon made some concessions. Those initial peace talks would eventually become the Treaty of Oceanside. Following a swift victory over Oregon the remainder of Vamp's first term would be focused on incorporating the newly won territory into Cascadia and dealing with an increase in dynmap hunters.

=History=

=== Pre-History ===
After the Greater Finnish empire learned of the oncoming reset, [[PrimeCyber]], Pancat, And AghastBlock had started drafting plans for our future nation projects in Terra Aurora, [[PrimeCyber]] originally went to make Yugoslavia, while the rest went into the southwest, to make Texas and Arizona. [[PrimeCyber]] would join them afterwards, planning to make New Mexico.

=== Pre Nation ===
After the release of early access Aurora on May 1st, me and my friends had joined as soon as release had happened, we we're quick to grind at the start, making [[Las_Vegas]] on May 2nd, and shortly after making the towns of Santa_Fe and [[Albeuquerque]] as well, however we had quickly lost momentum afterwards, with Pancat and Aghast becoming inactive, and New Mexico as well.

===Founding===
The nation of Chad, one of our old colonies, had a 4.1 nation in Canada, MikeyDubous and the leader of Chad Temaa had selflessly offered us the nation for free, with us paying for the transport of the nations capital to [[Las Vegas]], and so... ''The nation of '''New Mexico''' was founded on June 26, 2022.''

Shortly after on the 30th it join the USA alliance and signed a non-aggression pact with the Kingdom of Texas.

The African nation of Chad was under [[New Mexico]] from the 24th (predating [[New Mexico]] itself) to the 29th of June when they unceremoniously left the New Mexican Empire, with MikeyDubois joining New Mexico afterwards.

The nation of [[Cascadia]] joined [[New Mexico]] on July 19th, shortly after its founding, the Oregon empire declared war on [[Cascadia]], [[Cascadia]] would quickly grow during the ensuing war and rivalry.

=== The foundation era ===
With the nation of [[New Mexico]] and [[Cascadia]] being made later the other nations, we we're behind our neighbors expansion wise, however during the summer months, both states would rapidly expand quickly.

Democratic reforms would be made after our expanding playerbase and size, with the first elections for the ministry and grand councillor starting on July 26th.

The '''Cabinet of Cascadia''' is the [[Cabinet|chief executive body]] of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It is a body consisting of the vice president of Cascadia and the heads of the executive branch's departments in the government of Cascadia. It is the principal official advisory body to the [[President of Cascadia|president of Cascadia]]. The president chairs the meetings but is not formally a member of the Cabinet. The heads of departments, appointed by the president and confirmed by the [[Cascadia House of Representatives|House of Representatives]], are the members of the Cabinet.

The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. As of now, there are 5 department heads in the current Cabinet. The members of the Cabinet serve at the pleasure of the president, who can dismiss them at any time without the approval of the House. Like all federal public officials, Cabinet members are also subject to impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

The Constitution of Cascadia establishes the Cabinet in Article IV Section 3, authorizing the vice president, together with a majority of the heads of the executive departments, to declare the president "unable to discharge the powers and duties of their office". However, the Cabinet's real role, inferred from the language of the Opinion Clause (Article IV, Section 4) of the Constitution is to provide advice to the president. The heads of the executive departments are eligible—in the presidential line of succession. Until September 20, 2022, the Cabinet was referred to as the '''Executive Council of Cascadia'''.

The incumbent and second cabinet of Cascadia, in office since 17 September 2022, is the second cabinet of President ViolentVampire.

==Current Cabinet==

The incumbent and 3nd Cabinet of Cascadia (''ViolentVampire II'') has been in office since 17 October 2022. It consists of the following members:

'''Washington''' is an in-game nation under the integrated administration of the Republic of Cascadia. It is treated for all purposes as a direct part of the in-game nation of Cascadia, and all citizens and mayors have the same rights in Cascadia as any mayors in the in-game nation. It was purchased by Cascadia on October 8th, 2022, as a result of the Six-Hour War waged by Oregon against Cascadia. Prior to this, Washington was a Grand Duchy within the Oregon Empire, under the rule of Grand Duke __Bon. The '''Grand Duchy of Washington''' was founded on June 30th, 2022 by __Bon, with its capital in what was then named Walla Walla, now Petrograd. On July 5th, Washington joined the Oregon empire as a province after Oregon succeeded from California and declared itself an independent empire.
