}}The '''Evergreen Republic''' ('''E.R.'''), commonly known as '''Evergreen''', was a country and sovereign state on Terra Nova primarily located in [[North America (Continent)|North America]], centered in the Pacific Northwest. At the release of Terra Aurora, it consisted of 20 federated provinces and some other minor possessions. The Evergreen Republic bordered several large nations in North America, spanning several regions with many exclaves and enclaves, as well as the three Asian provinces of [[Bhutan]], October Island, and the [[Malé (Maldives)|Maldives]]. With a population of nearly 269 people as of 28 March 2022, spread across 70 towns, it was one of the most influential nations in North America during its brief existence. The federal capital is shared between [[Cascadia|Astoria]]'','' [[Seattle]], and [[Olympia]], all located within the Pacific Northwest. The Evergreen Republic was the successor to, and merger of, the [[Nova:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]] and [[Salish Confederation]] on Terra Nova, and existed for a few months before the release of Terra Aurora, to which the Pacific Northwest would come under the hegemony of the [[Oregon Empire]], and then later modern [[Cascadia]].


The '''Evergreen Republic''' ('''E.R.'''), commonly known as '''Evergreen''' or less often as '''The Republic''', is a country and sovereign state primarily located in [[North America (Continent)|North America]], centered in the Pacific Northwest. It currently consists of 17 federated provinces and some other minor possessions. The Evergreen shares borders with many nations across the continent, and it spans over several regions with several exclaves and enclaves, as well as the two overseas provinces of [[Bhutan]] and [[Malé (Maldives)|Maldives]]. With a population of nearly 180 people as of 16 February 2022, spread across 61 towns, it is one of the most influential nations in North America. The national capital is shared between [[Cascadia|Astoria]] ''[[Cabinet of the Evergreen Republic|(executive)]],'' [[Seattle]] ''[[Assembly of the Evergreen Republic|(legislative)]]'', and [[Olympia]] ''[[Supreme Court of the Evergreen Republic|(judicial)]]'', all located within the Pacific Northwest.
The Evergreen Republic was a [[Mega-nation|federal]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-presidential_system semi-presidential] [[Republicanism|constitutional republic]] with three separate branches of government, and a [[President of the Evergreen Republic|President]] as an elected head of state, with the [[Chancellor of the Evergreen Republic|Chancellor]] as a parliamentary head of government. The final President before the release of Terra Aurora was [[Sayerleft]] and the final Chancellor was FenshBeetM. Sayerleft would go on to be the first president of Cascadia on Terra Aurora, which although is organizationally and politically distinct from Evergreen and TN Salish or Cascadia still remains influenced by certain Terra Nova Evergreen and Cascadian traditions and precedents.


In the early days of [[Beginning Era|EarthMC]], the players [[List of all Staff|RangerMK01]], [[Olympia|Banthos]], [[Cascadia|Kathulos]], and [[Cascadia|Think Geek]], on 11 December 2018 established a nation called the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]], in order to create a peaceful, influential, and free democratic nation; with the capital being located in the town of Astoria, located in northwestern oregon. Cascadia quickly expanded and developed as not just a major power in North American politics, and world politics as well. Cascadia reached its peak with massive extension over the summer of 2019, however with numerous [[New York Riots|incidents]] occuring, cascadia quickly collapsed back to the northwest. Entering the new year of 2020, under the Presidency of [[EstiQT|Estonian_Mapping]] ''(now EstiQT)'', Cascadia appeared to be destabilizing and entering a new period of prosperity; however due to multiple scandals and internal instability, many major core provinces such as [[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Washington]] ended up seceding from the Republic; and due to alleged mass [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_backsliding democratic backsliding] and corruption within the government, on February 9, 2022 the [[Salish Confederation]] was established in Wenatchee, growing ever prevalent within the region; with the goal of bringing about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy direct democracy] with pure representation of the people in governance; which ended up triggering the [[Cascadian Civil War]] which, despite the name, did not involve Cascadia directly. The Salish Confederation and Republic of Cascadia peacefully co-existed, both with their own highs and lows, however their relationship gradually began to mend. On 20 February 2021, the Pacific Pact was established as an alliance of pacific nations; and on 14 February 2022, after two weeks of discussions between the two governments, the Evergreen Republic was formally established and the Republic of Cascadia and Salish Confederation both dissolved.
==Etymology==
The name "Evergreen Republic" derives from the Evergreen tree, a common ideological and cultural symbol for the Pacific Northwest. During the creation of the republic, numerous names were up for consideration; such as the Pacific States of America, the Pacific Republic, Republic of Nutka, the Second Cascadian Republic, and many more. The name "Evergreen" was eventually said by Sayerleft, and it was decided upon consensus by the Constitutional Convention; with the suffixes "Republic" and "Federation" being decided on later.


The Evergreen Republic is a [[Mega-nation|federal]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-presidential_system semi-presidential] [[Republicanism|constitutional republic]] with three separate branches of government, and a [[President of the Evergreen Republic|President]] as head of state, with the [[Chancellor of the Evergreen Republic|Chancellor]] as head of government. It is in an alliance with the [[The United States of America (current)|United States of America]], and is currently still in a very early stage in its unified history. The current President is [[Xyyz]] since 14 January 2022 and the current Chancellor is [[FroyourFilms]] since 14 January 2022, both of which were formerly the leaders of the Republic of Cascadia and the Salish Confederation respectively.
==History==


=== Pre-creation ===
On December 11th, 2018, the players [[List of all Staff|RangerMK01]], [[Olympia|Banthos]], [[Cascadia|Kathulos]], and [[Cascadia|ThinkGeek]] established the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]], in order to create a peaceful, democratic nation in the Pacific Northwest. With the capital being located in the town of Astoria, Oregon, Cascadia quickly expanded throughout the region, eventually controlling the entirety of the Canadian and American Pacific coastline. In June 2019, Cascadia briefly admitted the province of New York, gaining a large tract of land on the Eastern Seaboard. After the New York Riots, however, many provinces  decided to declare independence, leading to Cascadia fracturing and weakening. Although many of these breakaway provinces eventually returned to Cascadia, this event shocked the population and led to the Senate deliberating before accepting new provinces in the future. In early 2020, under the Presidency of [[EstiQT|Estonian_Mapping]] (now EstiQT), Cascadia appeared to be restabilizing and entering into a new period of prosperity. However, due to multiple scandals and internal instability, Washington ended up seceding from the Republic, joining the [[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Rio Grande]]. Due to alleged democratic backsliding and corruption within the government, the [[Salish Confederation]] was established in Wenatchee on February 9, 2020, with the goal of bringing about direct democracy in the Pacific Northwest. This ended up sparking the [[Cascadian Civil War]] which, despite the name, did not involve Cascadia directly. The Salish Confederation and Republic of Cascadia were initially hostile to each other, entering into a cold war for control of the core territory. However, due mainly to Furballen’s efforts, the two nations gradually began to reconcile. On February 20th, 2021, the Pacific Pact was established after the dissolution of the North American Pact, and on 14 February 2022, after a series of meetings between the leaders of Salish and Cascadia, both nations were dissolved, as they united to form the Evergreen Republic.


==Provinces==


<br /><br />
The Evergreen Republic is a federal republic consisting of 20 federated provinces. The 15 contiguous provinces are within the Pacific Northwest of [[North America (Continent)|North America]], mostly within the real-life areas of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Alaska and the Yukon. [[Keewatin]] is an exclave in the Hudson Bay region of Manitoba, and [[North Greenland|Greenland]] is centered on the northeastern point of the island bearing the same name. Three provinces are located geographically in [[Asia (Continent)|Asia]]; which are [[October Island]] (off the coast Siberia), [[Bhutan]] (in the Himalayas), and the [[Malé (Maldives)|Maldives]] (off the coast of Sri Lanka), all of which are disconnected from each other.
