The Rocky Mountain Federation is a meganation primarily based in North America that has existed since March 6th, 2023 and has undergone 4 different 'incursions' (eras). It is currently governed by an Oligarchy, with the public 'Head' of the nation being 8set.

History

Prehistory

As Cascadian politics bored the shit out of many players, and many citizens of Cascadia felt unrepresented and dissatisfied by the government inefficiency within Cascadia, the players 8set, Mudk2p, Billowysplash5, and Akeboun planned to peacefully secede from the Republic of Cascadia and form a new nation, Rocky_Mountains. The capital city was to be Banff, a key city in Cascadia's 'Great North' district at the time, owned by 8set (then named "EdgyIsRandom").

With a secession document finalized, and the discord fully set up, the group decided to found the nation at 8PM on March 5th, 2023, and so they did.

1st Incursion - "OG RMF" 

The First Era of the Rocky Mountain Federation, characterized by the Secession from Cascadia, The Summer Conflict, and the 2023 sale of Rocky_Mountains to RealLIMPOPO. March 6th 2023 - June 23 2023 Capital: Banff

Secession 

After the nation was founded, 8set published the secession document and had it posted to the news discord. He logged off for the night, unaware that Akeboun had actually been a spy for Cascadia, who, later that night, robbed Banff of ~500g worth of items and banned everyone from the original RMF discord. Upon waking up, 8set became aware of this fact and outlawed Akeboun from Banff, and set up a new discord (the one still in use today).

For the first few days after the secession, a state of undeclared war took place, with Cascadian government member AllStarPro90 griefing and placing mines around the wilderness of Banff. Cascadia also enacted an embargo against the RMF, to which the RMF responded with a counter-embargo and a public denouncement.

During negotiations, Cascadia claimed that the embargo and other hostile actions were caused by RMF not repaying the 416g they had taken from Cascadia's town funding system "CascAID" (later referred to as "CascAIDS" by the RMF leaders). The RMF leaders explained that had Cascadia simply asked for repayment, that they would do so, but because Akeboun had robbed them of more than that amount, they considered the debt to be paid. Cascadia's defense to this was that Akeboun had acted as a "Private Citizen", not on Cascadia's behalf (which, was later revealed to be false during the 3rd Incursion.)

Eventually, representatives from the Portuguese Empire (which RMF had joined after seceding to have more protection diplomatically) were invited to middleman a settlement between the RMF and Cascadia.

A week and a half after the secession, alongside some aggressive claiming by both Banff and its 'sister city' Avola, the Treaty of Banff was signed by 8set and (Cascadia's president at the time) Milgorn123, marking the end to the secession conflict. Within this treaty was a claims settlement, a NAP, and a voidance of all debts. RMF was also confirmed as a colony of the Portuguese Empire.

The Summer Conflict

(WIP) The town of Prince_George (alongside other Cascadian towns in the region) had the leaders of the RMF feeling as though they were being encircled by Cascadian settlements. Upon sending diplomatic envoys to the town, a diplomat was killed. Shortly afterwards, Prince George member and PvPer "WinterStars" went to Banff and challenged Billowysplash and Mudk2p to a fight, which he subsequently lost (likely due to his unfamiliarity with the laggy pvp of emc). In turn, 8set was sent to kill one of their citizens in retaliation, sparking a small conflict between Banff's federal guard and Prince George. As the skirmishes continued over the course of a few days, the RMF sent Kasana Clan reinforcements as well as other allied PvPers to assist their troops in their attack on the town. As this conflict waged on, the Cascadian Government enacted a "special travel zone" over the region (which was later met with a lot of humorous comments and criticisms).

During this time, the RMF joined and left the Turan Pact, joined the United Military Coalition (a successor to the Turan Pact), and made diplomatic arrangements with the Portuguese Empire and other nations.

RMF and Cascadian officials met multiple times to try and put an end to the conflict, to no effect. As a result, the Republic of Cascadia pulled out of the Treaty of Banff, removing the NAP and border restrictions from the RMF. A day later, the RMF formally declared war against Cascadia on grounds of hunting, hostile expansion, and usage of anti-RMF propaganda. Alongside this, screenshots leaked to the RMF leaders informed them of an attack by Cascadia that was planned during the Treaty of Banff. Within 24 hours of the RMF's declaration, Khazar, Honduras, the United Military Coalition, The Based Nations Defense Coalition all declared support for the RMF.

Over the next month, the RMF would continue hunting Cascadian citizens, poaching Cascadian towns, and expanding their land claims significantly in the Rocky Mountains and Yukon regions. During this time, the RMF forged new alliances with Japan, Arctic, Paraguay, Tripolitania, Laccadive_Sea, Poland, and Patagonia. The RMF also leaves the Portuguese Empire during this time, on good terms.

In May 2023, the RMF decided to take the fight to Cascadia and made a town called "Esti_Island" (now known as "Bakhmut") on the north border of Olympia in a small pocket of unclaimed land. This town became a hotspot for PvP between the nations, attracting attention and PvPers from all around EMC, leading to ganks being set up by both the RMF and Cascadia. TBI posted about fights at the town multiple times, only adding to the international attention it got. 8set made a name for himself by remaining undefeated throughout the entire conflict, as well as defeating many other prominent pvpers across the server, giving him a notoriously feared reputation.

In June, the RMF declared war on San Joaquin in a continuation of the conflict against Cascadia. Within 24 hours of the RMF's declaration, The Arctic Empire, Poland, and Don Host declared their support to this new war effort. A week later, on July 5th 2023, the conflict against San Joaquin was ended after their leader gave BillowySplash5 a spawner in exchange for peace.

As RMF involved itself in the UMC's war against Turkey and Caspian, the nation of Lena (who was on Tavi's side) began targeting 8set in combat. After opening diplomatic relations with Lena with Tavi present, Tavi revealed that he would rather have Lena as an ally over RMF. After a brief discussion with the other Oligarchs, the RMF announced that it would leave the UMC due to Tavi's personal interests dominating the alliance, alongside Tavi's betrayal of 8set.

A week later, the RMF's first incursion came to an end as the nation was sold to Cascadian PvPer RealLIMPOPO. However, the sale was secretly a plot to scam Cascadia out of ~4.5k gold, formulated over a few days prior. 8set, BillowySplash5, and Mudk2p walked away from the sale with 2.3k gold each, and the RMF was reformed to the Rocky Mountain Brotherhood by RealLIMPOPO, beginning the second incursion.

Government

It's important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.

Military

Additionally, it's important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that's another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.

Buildings

This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any "territory" it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.

Notable People

This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it's easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:

• Player 1
• Player 2
• WTF
• Player 3

National Subdivisions

This isn't required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it's more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it's at your discretion.

Other Recommended Headings

The following are not required but it's recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.

• Political Affiliation
• Political Parties
• Politics
• Economics (This may be made required depending on it's role in terra nova)
• Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)
• Maps
• Pictures
• Culture
• Navy (gl making this work though lol)
• Anything else that isn't ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki
