He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[Organization of Free Nations|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />
=== Vice Presidency ===<br />
[WIP]<br />
<br />
'''End of the Great American War'''<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration. <br />
<br />
With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia. <br />
<br />
On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war. <br />
<br />
Princeling, who had been absent from the negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, soon took issue with members of the Texan delegation. Around this time, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk, created a group chat with Princeling to request the return of one of his armour sets, which had been taken by Tr1st4n_06, a prominent Texan hunter. The ink had barely dried by the time Princeling began complaining, alleging the Texans had 'committed a war crime' despite the incident taking place weeks before the end of the war. In response, Mikesworldus, Farosh, and Malician all agreed to reimburse Tr4ffik with gold to make up the loss of his gear, and kick Princeling from negotiations, bringing the dispute to a close and preventing any premature collapse of the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
'''Fight against Corruption''' <br />
<br />
As soon as he was confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />

<br />
==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />

'''End of the Great American War'''<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration. <br />
<br />
With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia. <br />
<br />
On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war. <br />
<br />
Princeling, who had been absent from the negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, soon took issue with members of the Texan delegation. Around this time, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk, created a group chat with Princeling to request the return of one of his armour sets, which had been taken by Tr1st4n_06, a prominent Texan hunter. The ink had barely dried by the time Princeling began complaining, alleging the Texans had 'committed a war crime' despite the incident taking place weeks before the end of the war. In response, Mikesworldus, Farosh, and Malician all agreed to reimburse Tr4ffik with gold to make up the loss of his gear, and kick Princeling from negotiations, bringing the dispute to a close and preventing any premature collapse of the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
'''Fight against Corruption''' <br />
<br />
As soon as he was confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />

Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[Organization of Free Nations|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />

This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

=== March 2025 Cascadia General Election ===<br />
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

The '''Farosh Court''' refers to the period of the [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|Supreme Court of the Republic of Cascadia]] since January 20, 2026, when [[Farosh]] was sworn in as the eighth [[Chief Justice of Cascadia]]. Farosh_ had served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court prior to appointment as Chief Justice, and succeeded [[WrestlingWithGod]] in that position.<br />
<br />
This era of the court is ongoing, with Akeboun v. BergenFly being the only case ruled on by the court as of February 1, 2026. Farosh, who previously served as an associate justice in the [[Second WrestlingWithGod Court|Second WrestlingWithGod court]] and the tail end of the [[Sayerleft Court|Sayerleft court]], was marked as one of the court's more liberal members. Thus, the Farosh court, and its new member, Milgorn123 (also an ideological liberal), is expected to be a return to the liberal tradition of the Sayerleft court that briefly shifted conservative under the tenure of WrestlingWithGod.<br />

=== Nomination of Milgorn123 ===<br />
Upon Farosh's uncontroversial confirmation as Chief Justice after being nominated by president [[KayP7]], Kay nominated former president and secretary of state [[Milgorn123]] to fill Farosh's associate justice post. This resulted in an extremely contentious and controversial nomination battle in the House of Representatives, in which Rep. LadyEsquimalt brought up past allegations against Milgorn123 of bias against her as an admin, of which he was found civilly liable in ''LadyEsquimalt v. Milgorn123'' (2025). This sparked a fight between factions in the House broadly sympathetic to LadyEsquimalt especially following her newfound popularity with the Grousian community after her exodus to Vermont, and the Vermont community having been integrated into Cascadia. Despite initial pushback and the appearance that the vote would fail to reach the three-fifths of the total membership necessary for confirmation, supporters of the nominee were able to convince enough representatives, many from former Vermont, to vote in favor of the nominee. The nomination was passed 14-6, with 3 abstentions, and Milgorn took office on the court on January 22, 2026.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[Organization of Free Nations|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />
=== Vice Presidency ===<br />
[WIP]<br />
<br />
'''End of the Great American War'''<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration. <br />
<br />
With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia. <br />
<br />
On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war. <br />
<br />
Princeling, who had been absent from the negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, soon took issue with members of the Texan delegation. Around this time, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk, created a group chat with Princeling to request the return of one of his armour sets, which had been taken by Tr1st4n_06, a prominent Texan hunter. The ink had barely dried by the time Princeling began complaining, alleging the Texans had 'committed a war crime' despite the incident taking place weeks before the end of the war. In response, Mikesworldus, Farosh, and Malician all agreed to reimburse Tr4ffik with gold to make up the loss of his gear, and kick Princeling from negotiations, bringing the dispute to a close and preventing any premature collapse of the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />

<br />
As soon as he was confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />

Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[Organization of Free Nations|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />
=== Vice Presidency ===<br />
Confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''End of the Great American War'''<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration. <br />
<br />
With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia. <br />
<br />
On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war. <br />
<br />
Princeling, who had been absent from the negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, soon took issue with members of the Texan delegation. Around this time, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk, created a group chat with Princeling to request the return of one of his armour sets, which had been taken by Tr1st4n_06, a prominent Texan hunter. The ink had barely dried by the time Princeling began complaining, alleging the Texans had 'committed a war crime' despite the incident taking place weeks before the end of the war. In response, Mikesworldus, Farosh, and Malician all agreed to reimburse Tr4ffik with gold to make up the loss of his gear, and kick Princeling from negotiations, bringing the dispute to a close and preventing any premature collapse of the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />

After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[Organization of Free Nations|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />
=== Vice Presidency ===<br />
Confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''End of the Great American War'''<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration. <br />
<br />
With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia. <br />
<br />
On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war. <br />
<br />
Princeling, who had been absent from the negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, soon took issue with members of the Texan delegation. Around this time, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk, created a group chat with Princeling to request the return of one of his armour sets, which had been taken by Tr1st4n_06, a prominent Texan hunter. The ink had barely dried by the time Princeling began complaining, alleging the Texans had 'committed a war crime' despite the incident taking place weeks before the end of the war. In response, Mikesworldus, Farosh, and Malician all agreed to reimburse Tr4ffik with gold to make up the loss of his gear, and kick Princeling from negotiations, bringing the dispute to a close and preventing any premature collapse of the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia. <br />
<br />
On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war. <br />
<br />
Princeling, who had been absent from the negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, soon took issue with members of the Texan delegation. Around this time, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk, created a group chat with Princeling to request the return of one of his armour sets, which had been taken by Tr1st4n_06, a prominent Texan hunter. The ink had barely dried by the time Princeling began complaining, alleging the Texans had 'committed a war crime' despite the incident taking place weeks before the end of the war. In response, Mikesworldus, Farosh, and Malician all agreed to reimburse Tr4ffik with gold to make up the loss of his gear, and kick Princeling from negotiations, bringing the dispute to a close and preventing any premature collapse of the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[OFN|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />
=== Vice Presidency ===<br />
Confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''End of the Great American War'''<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration. <br />
<br />
With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont.

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[OFN|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />
=== Vice Presidency ===<br />
Confirmed as the Vice President of Vermont, Farosh set out to improve Vermont's democracy. He introduced the 'National Budget and Responsibility Act', creating a uniform budget system inspired by Cascadia's; the 'Expanded Roles Act' establishing the offices Speaker and Attorney-General; and the 'Repeal of Redundancy Act', which gutted a range of outdated and unenforced rules.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership to end the war. No deal had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the Texan issue, and delegated the authority to negotiate a settlement with Texas to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas saw this as an opportunity to push Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant Texas many concessions, including territory, and a guarantee to leave the OFN. <br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

<br />
== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />
<br />
'''<big>Vermont Representative</big>'''<br />
<br />
On August 17, Farosh was elected unanimously in a special election to the General Assembly, replacing Representative StoneSucker, who had been inactive throughout his term in office. Farosh promised to provide the necessary funds and resources needed to complete the national shop, then under construction beneath the Capitol. He also committed himself to improving Vermont's democracy by introducing legislation to establish the roles of Speaker and Attorney-General, both of which Vermont lacked.<br />
<br />
A special session of the General Assembly was called by 404aka a few days later, requesting Representatives attended a meeting in Hamilton. She was concerned that Sudbury, previously owned by her friend AvumsStudent, was going to be sniped by an unknown player and used to overclaim Hamilton. During the ongoing [[Great American War]], between the [[OFN|Organisation of Free Nations]] (OFN) and the [[Texas|Republic of Texas]], it was feared that this player had connections with the Texans, who had made an offensive into Vermont months prior. Although 404aka's fears were ultimately proved unfounded, several Representatives, including Farosh and SagePirates, grew increasingly frustrated with the ongoing drama in the nation, as well as what they perceived to be 404aka’s abuse of power in her roles as both an admin and a Justice of the Supreme Court. <br />
<br />
Around this time, Farosh, encouraged by SagePirates and fellow Representative Ruleroftheland, considered joining Nunavik. However, after joining the Republic of Cascadia’s Discord, he was impressed by the nation’s realistic and well-developed democratic system, which convinced him to begin preparing to leave Vermont. <br />
<br />
However, on August 23, a conflict erupted between Princeling7 and 404aka after the former removed 404aka’s 'Observing Justice' role. 404aka argued that the role could only be revoked by the General Assembly. What followed was the boiling point of the tensions and political drama that had been building around her role as an admin. In response to the fight that ensued in the Discord, 404aka used her admin powers to remove criticism of her, citing multiple rule violations. Several Representatives, including SagePirates and Ruleroftheland, left Vermont soon after. In an effort to restore stability, the General Assembly voted to impeach 404aka and remove her as a Justice, nominating Princeling as her replacement. With the office of Vice President now vacant, President Mikesworldus, on the recommendation of Princeling, nominated Farosh to fill the position, even as Farosh was preparing to move to Cascadia. <br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

'''<big>Beginnings</big>''' <br />
<br />
Farosh_ spawned on June 20, 2023, leaving soon after. On August 6, 2024, he rejoined and was recruited to Paris, France. With a strong interest in democracy and having previous experience in towny on Earth Minecraft servers, he sought involvement in the French government and expressed interest in holding a town in the Pyrenees, then unclaimed. However, finding France to be too hierarchical and ironic as a monarchy, Farosh chose to leave Paris two days later to join the Vermont Republic, first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. Seeing that the town of Hamilton's mayor, 404aka, was online, he messaged her and asked to join the town. <br />
<br />
404aka invited Farosh to the Vermont Discord, where he spent time reading and researching Vermont's constitution and laws. Within days of becoming a resident of Hamilton, he met and befriending Vice President Princeling7, the nation's leader and mayor of Vermont City, who, after learning of his enthusiasm, offered him the role of 'Observing Representative' to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Shortly after, Farosh was offered the position of Councillor, on the recommendation of Princeling, in the town of Tremblant, led by Billi003. <br />
<br />
After serving a brief stint as Councillor of Tremblant, Farosh saved up 64 gold, enough to found a town of his own, On August 8, he established Saint John, based on the real-life city of the same name. He began by renovating the ruins of the old town hall, transforming it into a spawn point and community building. He promoted the project to fellow Vermonters, including President Mikesworldus, who donated some of his gold to help expand and develop the town. Close by was the town of Moncton, owned by SagePirates, who expanded its claims towards Saint John to create a road between the two towns. <br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois.

=== March 2025 Cascadia General Election ===<br />
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as the 8th Chief Justice of Cascadia, having previously served as an Associate Justice. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
On August 8, 2024, Farosh chose to move to Vermont after first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. After seeing prominent mayor [[404aka]] was online, he was recruited to the town of Hamilton. In his first few days in Vermont, Farosh befriended several high-ranking officials, such as [[Princeling7]], who, serving as the Vice President, offered Farosh an 'Observing Representative' role to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Upon joining the Vermont Discord Server, Farosh spent time researching Vermont law, impressed by the scale of the nation's legal system. <br />
<br />
After expressing interest in politics and becoming a mayor, Farosh was offered a Councillor position in the town of Tremblant by Princeling. <br />

<br />
==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

}}The '''chief justice of Cascadia''' is the chief judge of the [[Supreme Court of Cascadia]] and is the highest-ranking officer of the judiciary of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. Article IV, Section 5, of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Cascadian Constitution]] grants [[wikipedia:Plenary_power|plenary power]] to the [[president of Cascadia]] to nominate, and with the advice and consent of the [[Cascadia House of Representatives]], appoint "judges of the Supreme Court", who serve until they resign, retire, lose monthly retention, are impeached and convicted, or quit. The existence of a chief justice and its powers are explicitly provided by both Article III, Article IV, and Article V, which gives the office its constitutional authority.<br />
<br />
The chief justice has significant influence in the selection of cases for review, presides when oral arguments are held, and leads the discussion of cases among the justices. Additionally, when the court renders an opinion, the chief justice, if in the majority, chooses who writes the court's opinion; however, when deciding a case, the chief justice's vote counts no more than that of [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|any other justice]]. The chief justice, in addition to its role in the court, serves ''ex officio'' on the Electoral Commission of Cascadia, and receives information from the elected officers of the Executive Branch of Cascadia relating to their resignation or declaration of temporary incapacitation.<br />
<br />
The office originates from the post of '''chief judge of Cascadia''', which was created by the Provisional Constitution for the first elections ever held in the fledgling republic. The office was originally the sole judge of what was then the "State Court of Cascadia" and was directly elected by the people via [[First-Past-the-Post|plurality]] for two month terms. This system existed for two cycles until it was replaced by a panel system, appointed by the President with House approval, with monthly popular retention.<br />
<br />
Since the Supreme Court was established in 2022, seven people have served as Chief Justice, beginning with [[Bubba_Tea]] (Aug–Sep 2022). As of January 20, 2026, [[Farosh_]] has served as chief justice, having been nominated by president KayP7 after the previous chief justice WrestlingWithGod's failure in retention. Five of the 7 chief justices—Beamz30, WrestlingWithGod, Sayerleft, Farosh_, and Moggs—served as associate justices prior to becoming Chief Justice.<br />

The '''Second WrestlingWithGod Court''' refers to the period of the [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|Supreme Court of the Republic of Cascadia]] from August 9, 2025, when [[WrestlingWithGod]] was sworn in as the seventh [[Chief Justice of Cascadia]], to January 18, 2026. WrestlingWithGod was previously Chief Justice during the [[First WrestlingWithGod Court|First WrestlingWithGod Court]], making this his second court. WrestlingWithGod had served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court prior to appointment as Chief Justice, and succeeded [[Sayerleft]] in that position. WrestlingWithGod's tenure on the court ended following his loss of retention in the [[January 2026 Cascadia general election]] where he received a 58.95% approval rating, with a 60% required for retention. <br />
<br />
This era of the Court, like the [[Sayerleft Court]], was marked by groundbreaking rulings on constitutional interpretation, governmental authority, and the relationship between national and municipal governance, as well as unique cases such as animal ownership. The Court has also addressed issues arising from Cascadia’s unique digital governance structure, like disputes involving Discord administration.<br />
<br />
Notable rulings include The People v. Setrus, being one of the most significant cases in Cascadian history and Cascadia v. Explosivefirewk et al, often referred to as Wordlegate.<br />

The '''president of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of their term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Their official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
KayP7 is the 28th and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on January 18, 2026 following his victory in the January 2026 general election.<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of her term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Her official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
ka_tie is the 26th and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on November 16, 2025 following her victory in the November 2025 general election.<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of her term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Her official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
ka_tie is the 26th and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on November 16, 2025 following her victory in the November 2025 general election.<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of her term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Her official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
BergenFly is the 25th and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on August 17, 2025 following her victory in the August 2025 general election.<br />

|event6date=1 January 2023}}'''Cascadia''', officially the '''Republic of Cascadia''', is a country and sovereign state located in [[North America (Continent)|North America]]. It is a unitary republic, covering vast swaths of the continent and extending on its peripheries to the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. It has a diverse geography, with rugged landscapes that include rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, and grassy plains, and borders [[Vermont]], [[Aurora:Illinois|Illinois]] and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, [[Alaska (disambiguation)|Alaska]], Denali, and [[Aurora:Wollaston|Wollaston]] to the north, and [[Aurora:Mexico|Mexico]], [[Aurora:Texas|Texas]], and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. With a population of 879, it is the largest, most-populated country in the Americas, and in the world. The capital of Cascadia is [[Olympia]] and its largest city is Meridian, with major blocks of population fairly evenly distributed across the nation's territory, with population centers such as WildWood, Grouse, [[Aurora:Astoria|Astoria]], [[Aurora:Purest Pines|Purest Pines]], [[Seattle (Aurora) | Seattle]], Wichita, [[Aurora:Vancouver|Vancouver]], [[Aurora:Fort Aurelian|FA]] and Tahoe also being notable.<br />
<br />
Cascadia originated from the settlement of the city of [[Seattle (Aurora)|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.<br />
<br />
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 in a Cascadian victory with the signing of the Treaty of Vancouver that September. Following the collapse of various regional powers in North America in early 2025, such as Texas, USA, and the Midwestern Union, and the rise of a new enemy in the form of Illinois, Cascadia not just expanded its territory to include portions of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Texas, and the Great Plains, but Cascadia become the sole superpower in North American politics, overtaking the previous perceived equal status that the nation had shared with Vermont in Eastern North America.<br />
<br />
The Cascadian national government, as established by the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|National Constitution]], is a presidential republic and liberal democracy with a separation of powers into three branches, 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. While a unitary state, for administrative and statistical purposes Cascadia has been divided since 2025 into 25 counties and 1 capital city. The Cascadian political tradition is rooted in Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality, individual rights, and the rule of law, as well as being heavily influenced by the social-democratic tradition of early Cascadian history, with Olympian democracy and Olympian economic theories (also known as Vampist-Sayerism) being philosophies in which Cascadian institutions are deeply rooted. A nonpartisan democracy, since early 2025, Cascadian politics has been dominated by both nationalist and globalist factions, although Cascadian politics have previously had different dominant factions in different points in its history. It is the largest and longest continuously existing democracy on EarthMC.<br />
<br />
A developed country, Cascadia ranks high in economic opportunity, activity, productivity, technological innovation, upward mobility, and education. Cascadia is the largest import economy on the server, and accounts for over 6% of total global economic output in April 2025. Its economy has been the world's second largest by total wealth since early 2025 just behind Japan, and has very little substantial wealth inequality, with the highest wealth per capita of any major import-driven populated nation. A melting pot of many groups and customs, the culture of Cascadia has been shaped by years of immigration, and its soft power influence has a global reach. Cascadia is a member of multiple international organizations, such as the Organization of Free Nations (of which it is a founding and leading member), and plays a leading role in global political, cultural, economic, and military affairs. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
Cascadia is the server's second-largest country by total incorporated chunk area, behind only [[Aurora:Japan|Japan]]. The 204 towns located across Cascadia occupy a combined area of 22,832 plots, equal to 2.8 million square kilometers in claimed territory. The unclaimed territory in between towns, which is especially prevalent in the north of the nation, significantly expands the territory of Cascadia beyond what is controlled within towns.<br />
<br />
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, Astoria, and Fresno. 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. Cascadia also exerts sovereignty over the eastern portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, as well as a majority of Indiana, since the dissolution of the Midwest Union. As of 2025, Cascadia also has a presence in the southeastern United States and the Appalachian Mountains, and has two towns on the Atlantic Coast of North America (Rosen_Telia and Tidewater).<br />
<br />
The National Parks Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior, oversees 8 national parks across Cascadia. Conservation has become a prominent issue as a result of increased urbanization and development.<br />
<br />
== Government and politics ==<br />
<br />
=== Constitutional framework ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Executive branch ===<br />
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 and 24th President is [[Ahea]].<br />
<br />
=== Legislative branch ===<br />
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 [[SergioTheCrafter]]. 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.<br />
<br />
=== Judicial branch ===<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Elections ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Subdivisions ===<br />
Cascadia is organized into a system of counties, established as the primary geographic subdivisions above towns and municipalities but below the national government and electoral districts. These counties were introduced by the “Counties Act of March 2025,” replacing the previous borough system. They function as administrative units with specific responsibilities and limited powers, designed to facilitate cooperation among towns within their boundaries while adhering to national oversight. There are 24 counties and 1 county-level municipality in Cascadia.<br />
<br />
Each county is governed by a County Commission, which is composed of the mayors of all towns located within the county. The commission’s primary role is to allocate any funds received from regional budgets, national government grants, or private donations. Decisions regarding funding allocation require at least 50% of mayors to participate in the vote, with a two-thirds supermajority of those votes needed for approval. County Commissions have the flexibility to determine their own procedural rules and may adopt titles such as “Board of Commissioners” or “County Council” to suit their preferences. These commissions are tasked with managing cross-town infrastructure projects and providing assistance to towns in need within their jurisdiction. Since mid-2025, counties have had the ability to have between one and two elected at-large members of the commission. <br />
<br />
Counties also have the authority to establish law enforcement entities, such as sheriffs, to enforce national laws within their territories. However, their powers are strictly limited in other areas. Counties are prohibited from establishing courts or taking any judicial actions, as these remain under the exclusive purview of the national government. Furthermore, counties cannot legislate independently unless explicitly authorized by the Cascadian Legislature.<br />
<br />
The Department of Home Affairs oversees all matters related to counties, including their creation, dissolution, naming, and boundary adjustments. Newly founded towns are assigned to counties by this department to ensure balanced administration across Cascadia. While counties enjoy some degree of autonomy in managing local affairs, they remain subordinate to national oversight, with the Legislature retaining ultimate authority to override any decisions made by County Commissions.<br />
<br />
The National Capital City of Olympia, as a unique case, is considered a county-level special municipality, having 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. Olympia is considered co-extensive with "Thurston County".<br />
<br />
These counties are further subdivided into the core administrative unit of Cascadia, which are its municipalities, cities, and towns. There are 205 municipalities in the Republic of Cascadia, each overseen by a mayor (besides in Olympia, where the town-level divisions are referred to as "wards", and are headed by a Ward Supervisor accountable to the City Executive). 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.<br />
<br />
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. This status is known as a '''trade possession office'''. The Washington Trade Possession Office is located in Columbia County.<br />
<br />
=== Foreign relations ===<br />
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, 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 California. The current [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|secretary of state]], who leads Cascadia's State Department, is FoxClient.<br />
<br />
=== Military ===<br />
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 ElimBessus. Cascadia is known for having one of the most advanced and sophisticated intelligence programs on the server, led by Director of Intelligence [[Raptormm4]].<br />
==History==<br />
===Pre-History===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
===Settlement of Seattle & Pre-Creation===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Nationhood, New Mexico, and Hostility with Oregon===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
The first day of negotiations resulted in a stalemate, with neither side giving up any claimed <br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Period of Expansion, and First Elections ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Presidency of SayerQT ===<br />
History section is still a WIP<br />
<br />
=== Presidency of ViolentVampire ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
==== Cascadian Independence from New Mexico ====<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
====Operation Dragonflame====<br />
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. <br />
<br />
=== Presidency of TylenolEC ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
=== Presidency of EstiQT ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
=== Presidency of Milgorn123 ===<br />
<br />
=== Banff Insurrection ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

=== Presidency of Bachinuni ===<br />
After beating the incumbent WrestlingWithGod in a competitive election, Bachinuni would become inactive almost immediately. Under his administration, the botched buyout of the RMF occured, leaving Cascadia nearly broke and destabilizing the nation. Seeing that the nation needed a more active leader, he resigned on August 9, 2023, having his more active Vice President EmpressCorgo take his position.<br />
<br />
=== Era of Chaos (August-October 2023) ===<br />
''Main Article: [[Osoyoos (political faction)|Osoyoos(Political Faction)]]''<br />
<br />
Cascadia entered an era of great internal instability through the botched RMF buyout, in which the then Secretary of Defense, REALLimpopo, who was tasked with holding the nation, decided to take the nation for himself, which effectively bankrupted Cascadia. This also led to Osoyoos, an upcoming political faction, to come into play, bringing along with them a jingoist, imperialist agenda. Bachinuni, who was the president at the time, resigned immediately, believing the nation needed a more active leader, as he had been not throughout his term. His Vice President, [[EmpressCorgo]], took over the nation, and immediately got to work on negotiating gold back to those who donated toward the botched buyout and recovering the economy. The August elections had the most presidential candidates Cascadia had ever seen by this point, with eight candidates putting forward a bid. The Osoyoos-backed PhantomXYZ_ had the most first preference votes, however EmpressCorgo won reelection through final-preference votes. <br />
<br />
EmpressCorgo would have a new national shop built, which was designed by Setrus, Milgorn and [[Ravioli983]], and built by Corgo herself ingame. This process took over a month, however it led to a much needed boost in the Cascadian economy, with more room and a renewed focus on promoting the shop. Some bills such as the Voter Age Act and the now Rainy Day Fund Act were passed during this time, alongside also reintroducing Cascruit, which had been repealed under Bachinuni's administration. The Treaty of Walterston was also signed between Limpopo and Cascadia, which was a controversial agreement to have Limpopo pay back those who donated toward the aforementioned botched buyout at a rate of 50 gold a week. Cascadia eventually would recover to normal levels financially, and would even be on a gradual upward trend.<br />
<br />
Osoyoos had already been known to be very eager to escalate conflict, however after the September Elections this would be turned up by a huge amount. Figures within the movement accused the Frontier of not honoring an alleged deal that they had made to support each other electorally, and as a result, a deep feud erupted between the two, massively increasing the political instability and toxicity in Cascadia. They also had gained an imperialist itch, and wanted to conquer Cascadia's then southern neighbor of Jefferson, mainly because of a similar feud they had with it's leader, Rocksthunder. During this time, they also began to openly desire taking over the country as a one party state, mainly because of the now deep tensions between them and a newly formed loose coalition between the Frontier and the Corgo Administration.<br />
<br />
When the October Election cycle came around, the results at final preference ended in a tie between the Osoyan Flatvent_One and the Social Democrat incumbent EmpressCorgo. Due to the tied election, the result was to be decided by a contingent election in the House of Representatives, however before the contingent election was to be held, Osoyoos attempted to trap dozens at a speech in Osoyoos proper, admitted their plan to plunder the national treasury if elected to power, and most of Osoyoos's figures left the nation. They would go on to found the nation of Chad almost immediately after, who would also go on to have a short yet storied existence of crusading against Cascadia in the Wagner War.<br />

<br />
=== Recovery, Political Unification and the Wagner War (October 2023-March 2024) ===<br />
''Main Article: [[Wagner War]]''<br />
<br />
When the towns aligned with Osoyoos left the nation to found Chad, Cascadia experienced a major drop in it's resident count and activity, losing over a hundred of its then 285 residents. Alongside this, Osoyoos had made up around a quarter to a third of Cascadia's active community, leading to Cascadia experiencing an era of relative inactivity. Members of the Frontier were also going inactive around this time, contributing to the inactivity. It was such a big hit to Cascadia's activity that Osoyoos's new nation, Chad, would actually surpass the nation in residents for a very short time. As a result, the next one and a half months of Cascadia's history were relatively uneventful domestically.<br />
<br />
The silver lining of the Osoyan secession was that the polarization caused by the unruly faction had quelled conflicts between the Frontier and Social Democrat factions, who now made up the entirety of the nation. This led to a lasting era in Cascadian politics in which there was little to no factional division. Post-secession Cascadia's political atmosphere was a particularly calm one, in stark contrast to the unstable, toxic, and erratic one of just the week prior. Frontier and Social Democrat voices, for the first time, were generally very friendly with each other, though disagreements still occurred as typical with a democracy. EmpressCorgo's last term was primarily focused on rebuilding, of which Cascadia gradually found success. especially through the nation of Jefferson joining the nation. This also led to [[Moxie]] rejoining Cascadia, as she was a member of Jefferson, who had just deleted the town of Oceanside a few months prior, leading to the Battle of Oceanside. This however did not affect her reputation in Cascadia by this point. <br />
<br />
This term was also marked by the [[Hanse Library Robbery]], a library in then-Austria that was robbed of tens of thousands of gold in items by three Cascadian citizens: [[3llies]], [[Paradox1080]] and [[8kwng]]. The anger about the robbery was directed toward the Cascadian state itself, who responded by attempting to recover and return as much of the items or value as they could, a process that would take a couple months, alongside voting to expel 3llies from the House of Representatives. Despite this, it would remain a major scandal, as many didn't see this as enough, with enemies of Cascadia branding the nation collectively as scammers for months afterward, citing the incident.<br />
<br />
With the [[Overclaim]] update on the horizon, Cascadia's adversaries, particularly the newly-formed Chad and North_Paso's Texas, saw it as a way to seriously harm or even destroy Cascadia. As a result, Wagner Group was formed between Chad and two other nations, an alliance formed to do just this on December 13. On this same day, the group declared war on Cascadia, starting the Wagner War. Over the coming weeks, more nations would join the alliance, such as the aforementioned Texas, Tasmania, and Somalia under 8set. Texas would also found the [[Restored Republic of Cascadia]] through Bon_Kranch, a puppet state under the in-game nation of Oregon, made with the goal of eventually replacing Cascadia, whom they would now refer to as "Pacifica". Texas's declaration of war was also notable for it's infamous attached speech by North_Paso, known as the "Deadly Sins Speech". It was an exceedingly long 10,000 character rant about Cascadia, likening multiple of it's top members to some of the [[wikipedia:Seven_deadly_sins|Seven Deadly Sins]]. He referred to Cascadia as a whole as undemocratic, toxic, factionalistic, and in Paso's words, "The most morally bankrupt nation on the server".<br />
<br />
The war up to the buildup to [[Judgement Day]] for Wagner was mainly consisted of an informal smear campaign, planning a massive overclaiming attack on Cascadia's vulnerable towns and the sniping of the town of Seaside by 8set, which is a section of what is now [[Aurora:Astoria|Astoria]]. Cascadia's actions during this time consisted primarily of Operation REDACTED, an already active plan to fortify as many of their vulnerable towns as they could for Overclaim. This plan was a huge success, with Wagner forces famously only being able to overclaim a single chunk in [[Chaeronea]] on Judgement Day, as it's then-mayor, 3llies, had arrived just in time to activate an overclaim shield for the town. Afterward, the war would become relatively uneventful over the coming weeks, with the [[San Francisco Offensive of March 2024]] being the last action of the war, where dozens of chunks in San Francisco were overclaimed by neighboring Cascadian mayors, who had personal vices with it's mayor, [[UnbatedAura|Unbated]]. <br />
<br />
Throughout the war, Cascadia fully recovered domestically, with activity increasing and events becoming more common under Setrus's second presidency. Cascadia's economy however was on the decline, partly due to the war, low revenue, and higher-than-average spending by the Setrus administration. Eventually, the recession stopped in mid-March, just before the Rainy Day Fund Act's threshold at the time, 2,000 gold, was reached. <br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of her term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Her official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
BergenFly is the 25th and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on August 17, 2025 following her victory in the August 2025 general election.<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of her term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Her official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
FlyGuy3000 is the 25th and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on August 17, 2025 following her victory in the August 2025 general election.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as a Justice on the Supreme Court and as the Librarian of Cascadia. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as Vice President under President [[mikesworldus]], he was himself elected President of Vermont in October 2024. Upon completing his term, Farosh_ moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. He would become a freshman Representative in the 28th Legislature, going on to become Secretary of State in December, and President in January 2025, serving until March. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under mikesworldus, winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

== Vermont (August 6 - October 31, 2024) ==<br />
On August 8, 2024, Farosh chose to move to Vermont after first noticing the nation on the Dynamic Map. After seeing prominent mayor [[404aka]] was online, he was recruited to the town of Hamilton. In his first few days in Vermont, Farosh befriended several high-ranking officials, such as [[Princeling7]], who, serving as the Vice President, offered Farosh an 'Observing Representative' role to view the General Assembly and its proceedings. Upon joining the Vermont Discord Server, Farosh spent time researching Vermont law, impressed by the scale of the nation's legal system. <br />
<br />
After expressing interest in politics and becoming a mayor, Farosh was offered a Councillor position in the town of Tremblant by Princeling. <br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}The Battle of Oceanside was a battle fought between the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]] and RMF-aligned forces including [[Aurora:The Kingdom of Texas|Texas]] and the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]] on July 3-4, 2023, in the ruined town of Oceanside (now Astoria). It is considered to have been the largest conventional battle of the both the Second RMF War and the RMF Wars as a whole. Although the battle is sometimes 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 />
<br />
This period of peace came to an end on April 6, 2023, when a Cascadian town named "Prince_George" 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 />
By July 2023, Moxie, had become mayor of the historic town of Oceanside, which had originally been founded by [[Milgorn123]]. In the months leading up to July 2023, Moxie had once repeatedly ran into trouble with Milgorn and with the law. 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 "kill yourself" as Akeboun was a member of the Frontier. Throughout June, Moxie also felt that Milgorn had made an effort to prevent her from getting the town of Yakima. Due to these reasons, by July 2023, Moxie believed that the courts, government, and most powerful people in Cascadia were against her, and decided to end her involvement in Cascadia. Near midnight on the night of July 3, Moxie deleted Oceanside, informing Cascadian officials, notably [[Setrus]], that she was deleting the town and moving to Jefferson. Alongside Setrus, she also gave a more subtle notice to 8set, who was still the RMF's primary leader.<br />

By 11:18 PM on July 3, Cascadian General [[EstiQT]] had created a group chat 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, Vosmyj, 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 "Seaside", 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, "The goal is not to win. It's to push them back," setting up the Cascadian goal for the battle to be preventing a major loss rather than achieving a major victory. <br />
<br />
Sometime shortly after 1:12 AM, 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 "Walla Walla", just off the northwest coast of Oceanside. During this stage of the battle, Covenhal, who had been described as "two-faced" by Cascadians during the RMF Wars, would distract North_Paso while WrestlingWithGod and BearHugBuddha claimed chunks. Some Cascadians have described this event as "The redemption of Covenhal". 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, the town of Seaside had been completely cut off to its west. Meanwhile, in the southern part of Oceanside, shortly before 1:26 AM, Cascadia had formed a second town, named "Newport" in the southern part of Oceanside to stop the RMF from pushing south. The RMF responded by trying to push south before Cascadia could cut them off, while also creating a second town at the furthest southern point of Oceanside, named "Wailla Walla". 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 claim protections to counter the RMF's more experienced PvPers. 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, both sides were fully focuses 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 Wailla Walla and cutting off the RMF push from the north. By 1:44 AM, Cascadian command had begun planning for offensives elsewhere, including in present-day Sullivan Bay and Haida, which were vulnerable to whatever the RMF's may have been. 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, burning down a large pride flag in northern Oceanside. Around 1:37 AM, 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. 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 />
<br />
== Aftermath ==<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. 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 and later Texas control until it fell 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, the headquarters of The Astorian newspaper, and the Astoria Police Department.<br />
<br />
Moxie would later regret her deletion of Oceanside, saying "I didn't realize how much they ruined it." 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 "uniting Cascadia again against the many invading foes." When asked about the legacy of the battle on Cascadia, Milgorn referred to how it "United Cascadians against the RMF, created visible scars from the war which mobilized Cascadians, and provided leverage for future RMF negotiations."<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as a Justice on the Supreme Court and as the Librarian of Cascadia. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as President of Vermont, he moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno and then in Yosemite. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under [[mikesworldus]], winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

==== Internal Affairs ====<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and former long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as a Justice on the Supreme Court and as the Librarian of Cascadia. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as President of Vermont, he moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno and then in Yosemite. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under [[mikesworldus]], winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

=== Internal Affairs ===<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on January 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />
<br />
With the inactivity of many cabinet officials, Farosh was forced to reshuffle his cabinet when he ran for re-election in February. The position of Treasurer would see four occupants during his tenure following the resignation of long-time incumbent, [[RAWRyoutube]], who was originally appointed by President Raptormm4 in May 2024. RAWR would step down due to burnout, promising to return in the summer. After appointing WrestlingWithGod and Setrus to the position, the bank would see no meaningful growth. This stagnation began a period of economic decline and depression, as gold would be spent on fighting California. On February 26, Farosh appointed [[EmpressCorgo]] as Treasurer. Previously serving in the position in 2023 and early 2024, Corgo brought experience to the role, working diligently to restore economic growth. Her efforts garnered wider support, earning her reappointment by each of Farosh's successors, [[HawaiianDPG]], [[Moxicodone]], and [[Capitanfra]].<br />

In January 2025, Farosh_ announced his intentions to run for President in the upcoming election. Picking current [[Vice President of Cascadia|Vice President]] of Cascadia, [[Xeocas|Xeocas,]] as his running mate, he won the election with 61.1% of the vote against [[ThornierRex3330]] and former President [[SergioTheCrafter.]] During his Presidency, the Farosh_ Administration introduced the Library of Cascadia and the Major Crimes Act, working to cut red tape and bureaucracy with laws such as the Educate Act II. In late January and early February, the Arcadians, who had migrated from Havaiki, returned home as many dissatisfied Cascadians joined Alaska. What followed was a period of inactivity dubbed as the Brain Drain, when many active politicians left the nation. <br />
<br />
On the 30th January, Illinois attacked the Midwest Union, beginning the next phase of the OFN-Entente War. The very next day, former King of Texas and perpetrator of the Great American War, North_Paso, returned to take the throne of Texas after instability in the nation. Facing multiple challenges abroad, the Farosh_ Administration sought to defend Cascadia and her allies from outside threats and invasions and begin domestic reforms, entering into a period of isolationism.<br />
<br />
=== February 2025 Cascadian General Election ===<br />
In February 2025, Farosh_ ran for a second term as President of Cascadia. Running against one candidate, SergioTheCrafter, Farosh_ picked Secretary of State [[HawaiianDPG]] as his Vice President. The ticket won with a landslide of 73.3% of the vote. The turnout fell to a low of 39.8% with no major competitors for many elected positions.<br />
<br />
=== Cabinet Reshuffle ===<br />
After a major cabinet reshuffle, the second Farosh_ Administration focused on domestic reform, passing the Army Corps of Mayors Act, which established an army of mayors, and the Civil Service Reform Act which further reduced bureaucracy. Other bills, such as the Public Companies Act and the Cacadian Communications (CasCOMMS) Act would also see growth in Cascadian business sector, laying the foundations for a public broadcaster and news organisation. To address the ongoing Brain Drain, the Department of Home Affairs, led by Secretary [[Milgorn123]], introduced the 'Cascadian Immigration Act', establishing temporary citizenship. After the creation of Settlement Grants, the immigration programme saw major success when a large community of [[Baltic]] Immigrants joined Cascadia following Lithuania's merger with Tavastia in early March, revitalising the nation with new activity and towns.<br />
<br />
During President Farosh_'s second term, Cascadia saw mounting tension in the Great North as Alaska encroached on Cascadian territory. Late February and early March would see Vermont withdraw from the OFN-Entente War and the collapse of Texas into Civil War, strategically isolating Cascadia and placing immense pressure on the Farosh_ Administration.<br />

Compounding these issues was the 'USA Affair', a major diplomatic scandal which would see former [[Speaker of the House]], [[Shadowcipher]], illegally sell the 'USA Trade Possession' without the authorisation of the Government of Cascadia, which owned the nation as an asset. After negotiations proved fruitless, Shadowcipher and former Vice President, Capitanfra, would legally challenge several Cascadian laws while citizens of Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia. In response, Attorney-General [[Akeboun]] would introduce the Foreign Interference Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives shortly after, preventing foreign citizens from practicing law in Cascadia. Despite further negotiations, the USA nation would be sold to new owners while the town of US joined Cascadia.<br />
<br />
As of May 2025, the USA Incorporation Act, which established the Trade position has not been repealed by the House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
=== March 2025 Cascadia General Election ===<br />
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

Compounding these issues was the 'USA Affair', a major diplomatic scandal which would see former [[Speaker of the House]], [[Shadowcipher]], illegally sell the 'USA Trade Possession' without the authorisation of the Government of Cascadia, which owned the nation as an asset. After negotiations proved fruitless, Shadowcipher and former Vice President, Capitanfra, would legally challenge several Cascadian laws while citizens of Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia. In response, Attorney-General [[Akeboun]] would introduce the Foreign Interference Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives shortly after, preventing foreign citizens from practicing law in Cascadia. Despite further negotiations, the USA nation would be sold to new owners while the town of US joined Cascadia.<br />
<br />
As of May 2025, the USA Incorporation Act, which established the Trade position has not been repealed by the House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
=== March 2025 Cascadia General Election ===<br />
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as a Justice on the Supreme Court and as the Librarian of Cascadia. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as President of Vermont, he moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno and then in Yosemite. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under [[mikesworldus]], winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />
<br />
In Cascadia, Farosh completed his term as Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN, successfully running for Representative in the South. During the 28th Legislature, he proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', a landmark piece of legislation reforming the National Park System into the National Park Service, centralising the framework for the management of Cascadia's extensive and diverse parkland. In December 2024, the new President, [[Whatok|4whatok,]] nominated Farosh as [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]], with his nomination passing unanimously in the House of Representatives. During 4whatok's Presidency, Farosh oversaw the Treaty of Juneau with Alaska, a major competitor in the Great North that had begun to expand south towards Cascadia's core. He also secured a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any loose threads after the [[Cascadia-Mackenzie War]] that had concluded a month prior. His term as Secretary of State also oversaw the insurgency of [[Aurora:California|California]], led by [[Olsar]], whose ultimate goal was the unification of California at the expense of Cascadia's sovereignty in the region. Farosh would lead some of the first negotiations with Olsar, which were ultimately fruitless. <br />

=== Internal Affairs ===<br />
Farosh began his Presidency on Jan 19, 2025, aiming to fulfill campaign promises. The first landmark achievement was the Library of Cascadia Act, establishing Cascadia's equivalent to the Library of Congress. The act focused on the establishment of an independent institution designed to archive Cascadian history, media, and knowledge in wake of the 7/23 Discord nuking during the Great American War. Farosh appointed SergioTheCrafter as the first Librarian, tasking him with developing a website to host the archives. However, despite initially being a popular concept, the Library failed to coalesce as hoped, as there was a lack of donations or interest during a broader downturn in Cascadian activity. Vice President Xeocas led additional reforms, such as the Educate Act II, which simplified the University of Cascadia (UCAS). However, it was superseded by the Educate Act III, passed on June 24, 2025. Farosh's administration also advanced significant legal reform with the Major Crimes Act, which defined a wide range of criminal offences and punishments, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Cascadian law, as promised on the campaign trail. Farosh also signed a total of 7 Redundancy Acts, which repealed several old laws in an effort to cut bureaucracy and red tape.<br />
<br />
Despite a few legislative achievements, the [[Legislature of Cascadia|30th Legislature]] was largely defined by stagnation and the lack of innovation, which was further confounded by the inactivity of the Presidential administration. Aside from the continual efforts of Farosh and Xeocas, much of the government remained dormant, with few new initiatives being offered by cabinet secretaries or officials. This period saw a major decline in community engagement and growth in Cascadia, dubbed the 'Brain Drain'.<br />
<br />
==== Brain Drain ====<br />
<br />
During the winter months of January and February, EMC as a whole would experience a natural downturn in activity and engagement, which was also felt in Cascadia. However, beginning near the end of 4Whatok's Presidency, many high profile Cascadian politicians began to leave the nation. A significant number of Arcadians, who had joined Cascadia from Havaiki during the Great American War, returned to their former homeland with the intent of reviving their dormant nation. Among those who left were politicians such as former Vice President and then-Secretary of the Interior, [[FieryMatter]], former President [[Dracnoian]], and other prominent politicians. As the Arcadians left, so too did their holders, causing a major shortage of mayors who could keep Cascadian towns safe in the face of the threat still posed by California or Illinois. On February 16th during the Cascadian General Election of the same month, Vice President Xeocas also left, joining the Arcadians in Havaiki. <br />
<br />
In the Great North, the trend continued, as many political hopefuls and active players, such as [[Kipiscute]], [[Sekhnmet]], [[Shadowcipher]], and [[Akirarocks]] also left Cascadia or joined Alaska, beginning a period of decline and low morale. This exodus was also accompanied by the sale of several northern towns to [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], including the transfer of Juneau, Kiawock, and others. Mass migration and territorial shifts would eventually set the stage for Cascadian-Alaskan tensions, which would eventually blow over during Farosh's second term as President, exacerbated by [[Denali]] and long-time enemy of Cascadia, the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], who were fighting Alaska for territorial domination.<br />

In January 2025, Farosh_ announced his intentions to run for President in the upcoming election. Picking current [[Vice President of Cascadia|Vice President]] of Cascadia, [[Xeocas|Xeocas,]] as his running mate, he won the election with 61.1% of the vote against [[ThornierRex3330]] and former President [[SergioTheCrafter.]] During his Presidency, the Farosh_ Administration introduced the Library of Cascadia and the Major Crimes Act, working to cut red tape and bureaucracy with laws such as the Educate Act II. In late January and early February, the Arcadians, who had migrated from Havaiki, returned home as many dissatisfied Cascadians joined Alaska. What followed was a period of inactivity dubbed as the Brain Drain, when many active politicians left the nation. <br />
<br />
On the 30th January, Illinois attacked the Midwest Union, beginning the next phase of the OFN-Entente War. The very next day, former King of Texas and perpetrator of the Great American War, North_Paso, returned to take the throne of Texas after instability in the nation. Facing multiple challenges abroad, the Farosh_ Administration sought to defend Cascadia and her allies from outside threats and invasions and begin domestic reforms, entering into a period of isolationism.<br />
<br />
=== February 2025 Cascadian General Election ===<br />
In February 2025, Farosh_ ran for a second term as President of Cascadia. Running against one candidate, SergioTheCrafter, Farosh_ picked Secretary of State [[HawaiianDPG]] as his Vice President. The ticket won with a landslide of 73.3% of the vote. The turnout fell to a low of 39.8% with no major competitors for many elected positions.<br />
<br />
=== Cabinet Reshuffle ===<br />
After a major cabinet reshuffle, the second Farosh_ Administration focused on domestic reform, passing the Army Corps of Mayors Act, which established an army of mayors, and the Civil Service Reform Act which further reduced bureaucracy. Other bills, such as the Public Companies Act and the Cacadian Communications (CasCOMMS) Act would also see growth in Cascadian business sector, laying the foundations for a public broadcaster and news organisation. To address the ongoing Brain Drain, the Department of Home Affairs, led by Secretary [[Milgorn123]], introduced the 'Cascadian Immigration Act', establishing temporary citizenship. After the creation of Settlement Grants, the immigration programme saw major success when a large community of [[Baltic]] Immigrants joined Cascadia following Lithuania's merger with Tavastia in early March, revitalising the nation with new activity and towns.<br />
<br />
During President Farosh_'s second term, Cascadia saw mounting tension in the Great North as Alaska encroached on Cascadian territory. Late February and early March would see Vermont withdraw from the OFN-Entente War and the collapse of Texas into Civil War, strategically isolating Cascadia and placing immense pressure on the Farosh_ Administration.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He is currently serving as a Justice on the Supreme Court and as the Librarian of Cascadia. Farosh's first foray into politics was as a Representative in Vermont, winning in a special election on August 17, 2024. After completing a term as President of Vermont, he moved west to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno and then in Yosemite. Throughout his political career, Farosh advocated for conservation and a strong foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh served a brief stint in France for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations (OFN) and the Republic of Texas. After winning a special election as a Representative, Farosh was elevated to the position of Vice President under [[mikesworldus]], winning re-election on the same ticket. As Vice President, he pushed for greater checks and balances in the constitution, creating the position of Speaker of the House and Attorney-General, separating the powers of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. He also sought to improve the strained relationship between Cascadia and Vermont, successfully advocating for Vermont to jointly end the Great American War alongside its OFN allies, culminating in the Treaty of Vancouver.<br />
<br />
In October 2024, Farosh was elected as the 7th President of Vermont, winning 60% of the vote with 47 valid votes cast. During his Presidency, Farosh appointed [[Xeocas]] to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, working alongside him to write a new Vermont Constitution, which remains in effect to this day. Farosh's tenure would see a period of relative stability, during which Vermont saw a steady growth in population and GDP thanks in-part to the new n spawn shop. However, on October 1, the shop would be robbed by the leader of Ontario, Ruleroftheland, and Ariohc, who utilised a buy-back exploit with pistons to rob the shop of thousands of gold. This incident sparked a minor conflict between Vermont and Ontario, which also involved a border dispute between the two nations. After months of negotiations, the conflict would be resolved by the Treaty of Augusta. By the end of October, Vermont would also see intense political factionalism and debate between the two candidates for President, [[Bill 'Rocky' Moor]] (Anaphase_Andy) and [[Princeling7]], which the saw the two abuse their admin perms to gain an advantage in the rapidly approaching election. After Farosh called for calm, Princeling withdrew from the race, allowing Rocky to become the 8th President on October 31. On the same day, Farosh migrated to Cascadia, having planned to do so since before he became Vice President.<br />

In January 2025, Farosh_ announced his intentions to run for President in the upcoming election. Picking current [[Vice President of Cascadia|Vice President]] of Cascadia, [[Xeocas|Xeocas,]] as his running mate, he won the election with 61.1% of the vote against [[ThornierRex3330]] and former President [[SergioTheCrafter.]] During his Presidency, the Farosh_ Administration introduced the Library of Cascadia and the Major Crimes Act, working to cut red tape and bureaucracy with laws such as the Educate Act II. In late January and early February, the Arcadians, who had migrated from Havaiki, returned home as many dissatisfied Cascadians joined Alaska. What followed was a period of inactivity dubbed as the Brain Drain, when many active politicians left the nation. <br />
<br />
On the 30th January, Illinois attacked the Midwest Union, beginning the next phase of the OFN-Entente War. The very next day, former King of Texas and perpetrator of the Great American War, North_Paso, returned to take the throne of Texas after instability in the nation. Facing multiple challenges abroad, the Farosh_ Administration sought to defend Cascadia and her allies from outside threats and invasions and begin domestic reforms, entering into a period of isolationism.<br />
<br />
=== February 2025 Cascadian General Election ===<br />
In February 2025, Farosh_ ran for a second term as President of Cascadia. Running against one candidate, SergioTheCrafter, Farosh_ picked Secretary of State [[HawaiianDPG]] as his Vice President. The ticket won with a landslide of 73.3% of the vote. The turnout fell to a low of 39.8% with no major competitors for many elected positions.<br />
<br />
=== Cabinet Reshuffle ===<br />
After a major cabinet reshuffle, the second Farosh_ Administration focused on domestic reform, passing the Army Corps of Mayors Act, which established an army of mayors, and the Civil Service Reform Act which further reduced bureaucracy. Other bills, such as the Public Companies Act and the Cacadian Communications (CasCOMMS) Act would also see growth in Cascadian business sector, laying the foundations for a public broadcaster and news organisation. To address the ongoing Brain Drain, the Department of Home Affairs, led by Secretary [[Milgorn123]], introduced the 'Cascadian Immigration Act', establishing temporary citizenship. After the creation of Settlement Grants, the immigration programme saw major success when a large community of [[Baltic]] Immigrants joined Cascadia following Lithuania's merger with Tavastia in early March, revitalising the nation with new activity and towns.<br />
<br />
During President Farosh_'s second term, Cascadia saw mounting tension in the Great North as Alaska encroached on Cascadian territory. Late February and early March would see Vermont withdraw from the OFN-Entente War and the collapse of Texas into Civil War, strategically isolating Cascadia and placing immense pressure on the Farosh_ Administration.<br />

<br />
==== USA Affair ====<br />
Compounding these issues was the 'USA Affair', a major diplomatic scandal which would see former [[Speaker of the House]], [[Shadowcipher]], illegally sell the 'USA Trade Possession' without the authorisation of the Government of Cascadia, which owned the nation as an asset. After negotiations proved fruitless, Shadowcipher and former Vice President, Capitanfra, would legally challenge several Cascadian laws while citizens of Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia. In response, Attorney-General [[Akeboun]] would introduce the Foreign Interference Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives shortly after, preventing foreign citizens from practicing law in Cascadia. Despite further negotiations, the USA nation would be sold to new owners while the town of US joined Cascadia.<br />
<br />
As of May 2025, the USA Incorporation Act, which established the Trade position has not been repealed by the House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
=== March 2025 Cascadia General Election ===<br />
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}<br />
The '''Supreme Court of Cascadia''' is the highest court, constitutional tribunal, civil court, and trial-level court of general jurisdiction in the national judiciary of the [[Aurora:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It has ultimate original jurisdiction over all national court cases if a matter is raised to the court relating to the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|constitution]] or [[Republic of Cascadia Statutes at Large|laws of Cascadia]], and over town court cases that involve a point of Cascadian constitutional or national law; and it also has inferred appellate jurisdiction over cases settled in local tribunals or courts. The court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law. However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction, unless the [[President of Cascadia|President]] uses their authority to refer a passed law to the Supreme Court to evaluate its constitutionality before the President decides to sign it.<br />
<br />
The court was first established by Cascadia's [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gYBPWtHFGn-duQFY6E2j87bQLQThv31qYxiNkfSLyyk/edit?usp=sharing first constitution] as the "State Court of Cascadia", which was both headed by and purely consisted of a directly-elected Chief Judge, the sole judge of the court, serving for a renewable two-month term. Two elections for Chief Judge were held under this system, before the constitution was amended to establish a Supreme Court with 3 judges appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the [[Legislature of Cascadia|House]], and with the continued support of three-fifths of the population in monthly retention referendums. This system has remained in place following the ratification of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|National Constitution]], in which the Supreme Court is described in Article 5. Since May 2025, the court consists of five justices: the [[Chief Justice of Cascadia|chief justice of Cascadia]] and four associate justices. Justices have lifetime tenure, meaning they remain on the court until they die, retire, resign, fail to meet three-fifths in a retention referendum, or are impeached and removed from office. When a vacancy occurs, the president, with the advice and consent of the House of Representatives, appoints a new justice. Each justice has a single vote in deciding the cases argued before the court. When in the majority, the chief justice decides who writes the opinion of the court; otherwise, the most senior justice in the majority assigns the task of writing the opinion.<br />
<br />
The court meets in the Hall of Justice in [[Olympia]]. The current justices of the Supreme Court are SayerQT (Chief since August 24, 2023), xBest_Name_Everx (since October 23, 2023), WrestlingWithGod (since May 22, 2025), Farosh_ (since May 22, 2025), and HawaiianDPG (since May 22, 2025).<br />

The '''Supreme Court of Cascadia''' is the highest court, constitutional tribunal, civil court, and trial-level court of general jurisdiction in the national judiciary of the [[Aurora:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It has ultimate original jurisdiction over all national court cases if a matter is raised to the court relating to the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|constitution]] or [[Republic of Cascadia Statutes at Large|laws of Cascadia]], and over town court cases that involve a point of Cascadian constitutional or national law; and it also has inferred appellate jurisdiction over cases settled in local tribunals or courts. The court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law. However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction, unless the [[President of Cascadia|President]] uses their authority to refer a passed law to the Supreme Court to evaluate its constitutionality before the President decides to sign it.<br />
<br />
The court was first established by Cascadia's [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gYBPWtHFGn-duQFY6E2j87bQLQThv31qYxiNkfSLyyk/edit?usp=sharing first constitution] as the "State Court of Cascadia", which was both headed by and purely consisted of a directly-elected Chief Judge, the sole judge of the court, serving for a renewable two-month term. Two elections for Chief Judge were held under this system, before the constitution was amended to establish a Supreme Court with 3 judges appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the [[Legislature of Cascadia|House]], and with the continued support of three-fifths of the population in monthly retention referendums. This system has remained in place following the ratification of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|National Constitution]], in which the Supreme Court is described in Article 5. Since May 2025, the court consists of five justices: the [[Chief Justice of Cascadia|chief justice of Cascadia]] and four associate justices. Justices have lifetime tenure, meaning they remain on the court until they die, retire, resign, fail to meet three-fifths in a retention referendum, or are impeached and removed from office. When a vacancy occurs, the president, with the advice and consent of the House of Representatives, appoints a new justice. Each justice has a single vote in deciding the cases argued before the court. When in the majority, the chief justice decides who writes the opinion of the court; otherwise, the most senior justice in the majority assigns the task of writing the opinion.<br />
<br />
The court meets in the Hall of Justice in [[Olympia]]. The current justices of the Supreme Court are SayerQT (Chief since August 24, 2023), xBest_Name_Everx (since October 23, 2023), WrestlingWithGod (since May 22, 2025), Farosh_ (since May 22, 2025), and HawaiianDPG (since May 22, 2025).<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of their term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Their official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
4Floppas is the 23rd and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on June 1, 2025 after assuming the presidency following the resignation of Capitanfra. He was previously the 24th vice president of Cascadia.<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of their term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Their official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
Capitanfra is the 22nd and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on May 18, 2025 after being victorious in the May 2025 general election. He is the first non-native English speaker to hold the office, and the first president from outside the Anglosphere.<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of their term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Their official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]]. In modern times, the president is one of the server's most powerful political figures.<br />
<br />
Capitanfra is the 22nd and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on May 18, 2025 after being victorious in the May 2025 general election. He is the first non-native English speaker to hold the office, and the first president from outside the Anglosphere.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He also served as 11th [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]] under President [[Whatok|4Whatok]] and as the 7th Vice President and President of [[Aurora:Vermont|Vermont]] in September and October 2024 respectively.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh_ served a brief stint in [[Aurora:France|France]] for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations and Texas. In Vermont, Farosh_ served as Representative for one week following a special election, before he was appointed as Vice President, succeeding [[Princeling7]]. After a successful re-election campaign on President [[mikesworldus']] ticket, he continued to serve as Vice President, negotiating the Treaty of Vancouver on behalf of Vermont. In October 2024, he won the Vermont Presidential Election in a landslide, co-writing and overseeing the ratification of the third and current constitution. <br />
<br />
== Early Career ==<br />
Farosh_ was appointed Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN to Secretary-General and President of Cascadia, [[Dracnoian]]. Declining to run for a second term as President of Vermont, he migrated to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. In November, he was elected to the 28th House of Representatives, as well as serving as an Advisor to the President. During his first term as a freshman Representative, Farosh_ proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', re-establishing the National Park Service, and the 'Cascades National Park Act', which preserved the name-sake of Cascadia. <br />
<br />
In December, Farosh_ was re-elected to the 29th House of Representatives. He was also appointed as Secretary of State by incoming President [[4Whatok]], succeeding [[Capitanfra]]. In this position, he reformed the Department of State through the 'Diplomatic Re-Organisation Act of December 2024', refocusing the Department on Cascadia following its reliance on the OFN. During his time as Secretary, Farosh_ began negotiations with Alaska, securing the Treaty of Juneau and signed a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any prior conflicts in the Great North following the NWT War that had concluded a month prior. The nation of USA was also incorporated into Cascadia by Farosh_, who introduced the USA Incorporation Act. <br />
<br />
== Presidency, (January 19th - March 16th) ==<br />
In January 2025, Farosh_ announced his intentions to run for President in the upcoming election. Picking current [[Vice President of Cascadia|Vice President]] of Cascadia, [[Xeocas|Xeocas,]] as his running mate, he won the election with 61.1% of the vote against [[ThornierRex3330]] and former President [[SergioTheCrafter.]] During his Presidency, the Farosh_ Administration introduced the Library of Cascadia and the Major Crimes Act, working to cut red tape and bureaucracy with laws such as the Educate Act II. In late January and early February, the Arcadians, who had migrated from Havaiki, returned home as many dissatisfied Cascadians joined Alaska. What followed was a period of inactivity dubbed as the Brain Drain, when many active politicians left the nation. <br />
<br />
On the 30th January, Illinois attacked the Midwest Union, beginning the next phase of the OFN-Entente War. The very next day, former King of Texas and perpetrator of the Great American War, North_Paso, returned to take the throne of Texas after instability in the nation. Facing multiple challenges abroad, the Farosh_ Administration sought to defend Cascadia and her allies from outside threats and invasions and begin domestic reforms, entering into a period of isolationism.<br />
<br />
=== February 2025 Cascadian General Election ===<br />
In February 2025, Farosh_ ran for a second term as President of Cascadia. Running against one candidate, SergioTheCrafter, Farosh_ picked Secretary of State [[HawaiianDPG]] as his Vice President. The ticket won with a landslide of 73.3% of the vote. The turnout fell to a low of 39.8% with no major competitors for many elected positions.<br />
<br />
=== Cabinet Reshuffle ===<br />
After a major cabinet reshuffle, the second Farosh_ Administration focused on domestic reform, passing the Army Corps of Mayors Act, which established an army of mayors, and the Civil Service Reform Act which further reduced bureaucracy. Other bills, such as the Public Companies Act and the Cacadian Communications (CasCOMMS) Act would also see growth in Cascadian business sector, laying the foundations for a public broadcaster and news organisation. To address the ongoing Brain Drain, the Department of Home Affairs, led by Secretary [[Milgorn123]], introduced the 'Cascadian Immigration Act', establishing temporary citizenship. After the creation of Settlement Grants, the immigration programme saw major success when a large community of [[Baltic]] Immigrants joined Cascadia following Lithuania's merger with Tavastia in early March, revitalising the nation with new activity and towns.<br />
<br />
During President Farosh_'s second term, Cascadia saw mounting tension in the Great North as Alaska encroached on Cascadian territory. Late February and early March would see Vermont withdraw from the OFN-Entente War and the collapse of Texas into Civil War, strategically isolating Cascadia and placing immense pressure on the Farosh_ Administration.<br />

Compounding these issues was the 'USA Affair', a major diplomatic scandal which would see former [[Speaker of the House]], [[Shadowcipher]], illegally sell the 'USA Trade Possession' without the authorisation of the Government of Cascadia, which owned the nation as an asset. After negotiations proved fruitless, Shadowcipher and former Vice President, Capitanfra, would legally challenge several Cascadian laws while citizens of Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia. In response, Attorney-General [[Akeboun]] would introduce the Foreign Interference Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives shortly after, preventing foreign citizens from practicing law in Cascadia. Despite further negotiations, the USA nation would be sold to new owners while the town of US joined Cascadia.<br />
<br />
As of May 2025, the USA Incorporation Act, which established the Trade position has not been repealed by the House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
=== March 2025 Cascadia General Election ===<br />
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that he had no intentions to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.<br />
<br />
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen. <br />
<br />
He did not run for re-election in the [[March 2025 Cascadia general election|March election]], and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as the Librarian of Cascadia.<br />

}}'''Farosh_''' (spawned June 20, 2023) is a Vermonter-Cascadian politician who served as the 19th [[president of Cascadia]] from January to March 2025. He also served as 11th [[Secretary of State of Cascadia|Secretary of State]] under President [[Whatok|4Whatok]] and as the 7th Vice President and President of [[Aurora:Vermont|Vermont]] in September and October 2024 respectively.<br />
<br />
Rejoining EarthMC in early August 2024, Farosh_ served a brief stint in [[Aurora:France|France]] for two days, before moving to Vermont on August 8 during the ongoing Great American War between the Organisation of Free Nations and Texas. In Vermont, Farosh_ served as Representative for one week following a special election, before he was appointed as Vice President, succeeding [[Princeling7]]. After a successful re-election campaign on President [[mikesworldus']] ticket, he continued to serve as Vice President, negotiating the Treaty of Vancouver on behalf of Vermont. In October 2024, he won the Vermont Presidential Election in a landslide, co-writing and overseeing the ratification of the third and current constitution. <br />
<br />
== Early Career ==<br />
Farosh_ was appointed Assistant Secretary-General of the OFN to Secretary-General and President of Cascadia, [[Dracnoian]]. Declining to run for a second term as President of Vermont, he migrated to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. In November, he was elected to the 28th House of Representatives, as well as serving as an Advisor to the President. During his first term as a freshman Representative, Farosh_ proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', re-establishing the National Park Service, and the 'Cascades National Park Act', which preserved the name-sake of Cascadia. <br />
<br />
In December, Farosh_ was re-elected to the 29th House of Representatives. He was also appointed as Secretary of State by incoming President [[4Whatok]], succeeding [[Capitanfra]]. In this position, he reformed the Department of State through the 'Diplomatic Re-Organisation Act of December 2024', refocusing the Department on Cascadia following its reliance on the OFN. During his time as Secretary, Farosh_ began negotiations with Alaska, securing the Treaty of Juneau and signed a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any prior conflicts in the Great North following the NWT War that had concluded a month prior. The nation of USA was also incorporated into Cascadia by Farosh_, who introduced the USA Incorporation Act. <br />
<br />
== Presidency, (January 19th - March 16th) ==<br />
In January 2025, Farosh_ announced his intentions to run for President in the upcoming election. Picking current [[Vice President of Cascadia|Vice President]] of Cascadia, [[Xeocas|Xeocas,]] as his running mate, he won the election with 61.1% of the vote against [[ThornierRex3330]] and former President [[SergioTheCrafter.]] During his Presidency, the Farosh_ Administration introduced the Library of Cascadia and the Major Crimes Act, working to cut red tape and bureaucracy with laws such as the Educate Act II. In late January and early February, the Arcadians, who had migrated from Havaiki, returned home as many dissatisfied Cascadians joined Alaska. What followed was a period of inactivity dubbed as the Brain Drain, when many active politicians left the nation. <br />
<br />
On the 30th January, Illinois attacked the Midwest Union, beginning the next phase of the OFN-Entente War. The very next day, former King of Texas and perpetrator of the Great American War, North_Paso, returned to take the throne of Texas after instability in the nation. Facing multiple challenges abroad, the Farosh_ Administration sought to defend Cascadia and her allies from outside threats and invasions and begin domestic reforms, entering into a period of isolationism.<br />
<br />
=== February 2025 Cascadian General Election ===<br />
In February 2025, Farosh_ ran for a second term as President of Cascadia. Running against one candidate, SergioTheCrafter, Farosh_ picked Secretary of State [[HawaiianDPG]] as his Vice President. The ticket won with a landslide of 73.3% of the vote. The turnout fell to a low of 39.8% with no major competitors for many elected positions.<br />
<br />

The '''President of Cascadia''' is the head of state and head of government of [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. The president directs the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the Cascadian National Guard.<br />
<br />
Article IV of the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|Constitution]] establishes the executive branch of the national government and vests the executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of national law and the responsibility to appoint national [[Cabinet of Cascadia|executive]], [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Secretary of State|diplomatic]], and [[Supreme Court of Cascadia|judicial]] officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by the [[Legislature of Cascadia|Legislature]], the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting Cascadian foreign policy. <br />
<br />
The president also plays a leading role in legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of checks and balances, Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto legislation. Major policymaking is often significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of the Legislature.<br />
<br />
The president is elected directly by the people by Instant Runoff Voting, starting in the September 2022 election. Under the previous electoral law, elections for president were held using first-past-the-post voting. Elections for president are held simultaneously to legislative elections. In addition, if a president resigns or is removed from office in the middle of their term, the vice president becomes president. Until late September, the position was called the '''Governor'''. Their official workplace and residence is the Presidential Palace, also known as the Brick House, which is located in Downtown [[Olympia]].<br />
<br />
[[Moxie|Moxicodone]] is the 21st and current president of Cascadia, having assumed office on April 20, 2025 after being victorious in the April 2025 general election. <br />
