Geography

Mackenzie was located in northwestern Canada, with some territories dipping into British Columbia. To the south are the nations Cascadia and BC, To the west is the nation of Alaska, and to the east is the nation of Wollaston. The nation features giant landscapes of mountains to the west and more warm, wet regions to the east. The nation can be divided into two political districts, the east and the west.

Eastern District

Eastern Mackenzie featured the capital, HayRiver. Many of the towns located in this district are founded on the bank of the Great Slave Lake. It is a popular destination for towns for its status as a solid fishing spot. This district also includes part of the Great Bear Lake.

Western District

Western Mackenzie is a highly populated region, Featuring large towns such as Castle John, Fort Nina, and Delta. Castle John, the most populated town in NWT, is in this region. The region is known for heavy recruiting, bringing in many town owners and dedicated community members to the nation.

Economy

Mackenzie's economy follows communist and socialist economic principles, although participating in a pseudo-capitalist system as required by the shop system. They achieve this by having a robust welfare system, entitling every town to 100 gold after 2 weeks. Their economy relies on fishing and their nation shop, both of which are new and rapidly growing industries within the nation. Currently, their economy is quite small. There are no major international stores located in Mackenzie. Their are a large array of local shops around different towns, although there is not much of a market for embassy plots. A lot of monetary resources come from mining in the western portions of the country, while fishing in the east.

Government

More in the Mackenzie constitution

The government consisted of the representatives, elected every month, that then elect two of themselves to become the prime minister and the speaker of the house for that month. The prime minister then selects half the number of the representatives, minus one, to be their cabinet ministers for that month. The prime minister finally decides what role the CM will fulfill; Economy, defense, interior, and others are popular picks. The Speaker of the House assembled the representatives throughout the month to discuss a topic and come to a consensus on how the government should proceed on that topic. Ultimately however, as stated under Article 1 Section VII of the Mackenzie Constitution, all decisions made by the democratically elected government could be vetoed at any time by either of the founders, and founders had special executive powers to hold their own legislative assemblies without the presence of the Speaker of the House. This undermined the democratic system and arguably led to the political turbulence that toppled Mackenzie.

History

Pre-History

Mackenzie was originally the territory under the jurisdiction of the Cascadian Communist Party (CCP), (traditionally the former far north of Cascadia), which advocated for Cascadian politics to take a more left-wing turn economically, increasing welfare and extending benefits for citizens and mayors.

Foundation

Mackenzie seceded peacefully on good terms with Cascadia on October 2nd, 2024. At this time, it was known as NWT. For the next couple of weeks, NWT acted peacefully, signing multiple non-aggression pacts with other nations. These included Cascadia, Vermont, and Ontario. Relations were good, and NWT quickly gained new towns and citizens across northwestern Canada.

Cascadian Invasion

Tensions arose when the new player Aduwastaken created the town "Ythan_Adevir" on the road east of Castle John, the most populated city in NWT. The mayor first requested to join Mackenzie by messaging xHydre via discord, then joined Cascadia and began denying ever contacting xHydre; furthermore after a week of communications between adu and the Mackenzie diplomats a ticket was created in the cascadia discord. The honourable supreme leader xstoicx made several attempts to claim national sovereignty in the region; but drac, milgorn, and other cascadian bureaucrats denied the legitamcy of mackenzie whilst spewing hate and propaganda about our leftist ideologies. The NWT government demanded the town be moved further south away from a road that NWT claimed was to be used for transport by NWT citizens ( xstoicx and xHydre had plans to create a national metropolis along this route), and as a place for their towns to be founded upon. The 'alien' Cascadian colonizers declined this offer, which caused NWT to declare war with Cascadia to protect their territorial sovereignty in the Mackenzie Basin region. Since the war began Cascadia funded multiple illegal settlements around NWT territorial claims and major cities including Error and Fort_Toto directly between Castle John and HayRiver. Prime Minister Ruffwoof was accused of Foreign Interference, they were involved with the cascadia "shadow government" secretly interfering with NWT's political agenda from the start as reported by an anonymous source. Founder xstoicx had suspicions of Ruffwoofs intentions in the nation, after learning of Ruffwoofs allegiance to his former nation Aurora:Cascadia xstoicx proposed to the NWT Legislative Assembly to impeach him and thus he was immedietly removed from office. Ruffwoof then broke discord rules spamming the announcements page in a spiral of mental illness and misinformation, the NWT Discord mods then banned him and outlawed him. Xstoics was noted for his philanthropy throughout the war, devoting his fortune to helping NWT mayors expand and helping new players get a head start in the server; xstoicx fully funded all national projects with minimal contributions from xHydre.

Pechorsk_Colter Defection

The owner of Pechorsk_Colter, a user by the name of _haines, was removed from NWT for treason after the founders accused him of espionage. This resulted in the battle of Pechorsk_Colter.

2.1 Debacle

After user Limao_mao reported NWT as a duplicate of another smaller nation by the name of N.W.T, NWT was forced to be renamed and rebranded. They wanted their nation to be named Mackenzie for simplicity, however staff forced them to be named the Mackenzie Basin. Later, they renamed to simply Mackenzie.

Cessation of the Empire

While the Mackenzie Founders made several attempts to enable its citizens to participate in government its constitution allowed the founders (specifically the nation's owner xStoicx) ultimate executive powers as the standing Monarch (EMC only allows a single owner of each nation in game, xstoics also did pay for the nation). The nation entered a political loop in its final months, electing incompetent leaders, Prime Ministers like RuffWoof and TheSnowic, both eventually being removed from their positions and outlawed from the nation as authorized through the Mackenzie Constitution (which was signed by Ruffwoof when Mackenzie was founded). xstoicx suffered tremendous financial pressures during the Cascadian Invasion, Ruffwoof after being ruled by the cascadian shadow government overclaimed major parts of Hay River's western side with his town Beaver_Lake, ultimately leading to xstoicx unclaiming the area all together (losing 1000g+ in chunks).

Aftermath

xstoicx ultimatly lost faith in creating his ideal socialist nation on EMC's "NEET Oligarch server" ( - xstoicx), his ambitions of creating a equal nation for new players alike fell apart; Cascadia was a huge threat to the sovereignty of Mackenzie and was to influential in the continent to compete with as it had strong allies surrounding the Mackenzie River Basin. This is another Tale of the fight for socialism in EMC, a nation with pride and unity lost to foreign inteference, hate, prejudice, and capitalist propaganda from all corners of the server. xstoicx sold the nation to Tuzzzie the queen of Alaska for 3500g, and sought asylum in the Northwestern part of Alaska's coast. xstoicx wishes that people will understand the immense pressures of creating a socialist nation, it isnt an easy task - especially with the greed and crime that continues to plague the server.
