}}'''Cascadia''', officially the '''Republic of Cascadia''', and often referred to as '''TN Cascadia''', '''Nova Cascadia''', or the '''Astorian Republic''' to differentiate it from the [[Cascadia|nation of the same name]] on Terra Aurora, was a republic primarily located in the [[wikipedia:Pacific_Northwest|Pacific Northwest]] of [[North America (Continent)|North America]]. It consisted of 20 provinces at its peak, including the exclaves of [[Bhutan]], [[North Greenland|Greenland]], Texas, and [[Nauru]]. Cascadia shared land borders with [[Alberta]], [[British Columbia|Salish]], and [[Jefferson]], among others. With more than 800 people, it was the fourth most populous country in the world. The national capital was in Astoria, Oregon, and the most populous city was [[Nord]], Greenland. | }}'''Old Cascadia''', referred to by contemporaries as simply '''Cascadia''' and officially the '''Republic of Cascadia''', and often referred to historically as '''TN Cascadia''', '''Nova Cascadia''', '''Ancient Cascadia''', the '''Old Republic''', or the '''Astorian Republic''' (to differentiate it from the [[Cascadia|nation of the same name]] on Terra Aurora), was a federal republic primarily located in the [[wikipedia:Pacific_Northwest|Pacific Northwest]] of [[North America (Continent)|North America]].

The nation was founded by RangerMK01 on December 11, 2018. During 2019, Cascadia pursued a policy of rapid expansionism, quickly controlling all coastal territory from San Diego to Anchorage. This was strongly influenced by the United States of America's policy in [[wikipedia:Manifest_destiny|manifest destiny]], with Cascadian nationalists pushing to admit new provinces every month. By June 2019, Cascadia had gained several exclaves, most notable of which being [[New York (nation)|New York]] and [[Florida]]. In August, the [[New York Riots]] and subsequent massacre led to disillusionment in the eastern provinces, with them peacefully seceding from Cascadia. During early 2020, internal disputes over [[wikipedia:Democratic_backsliding|democratic backsliding]] led to the [[Salish-Cascadian Split]], with several cities in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia declaring independence and forming the [[Salish Confederation]]. The Republic of Cascadia and Salish Confederation established themselves as the two superpowers in the Pacific Northwest. During the [[Cascadian Civil War|Salish-Washingtonian]] war, Cascadia pursued a policy of isolationism. Both Salish and Cascadia avoided direct military conflict, resulting in a cold war that would last over a year. In late 2021, both nations began to pursue a policy of détente, leading to the end of the cold war and eventual reunification. On February 14th, 2022, the Republic of Cascadia and Salish Confederation united to form the [[Evergreen Republic]]. | The nation was founded by RangerMK01 on December 11, 2018.

The Republic of Cascadia was a [[wikipedia:Federal_republic|federal republic]] with three separate branches of government, including a [[wikipedia:Unicameralism|unicameral]] legislature. Presidential elections were held every month, with senators and governors occupying [[wikipedia:Despotism|permanent]] positions. It was a founding member in the [[North American Pact]], [[Pacific Pact]], North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and other international organizations. The Republic of Cascadia was a [[wikipedia:Liberal_democracy|liberal democracy]]; it ranked high in international measures of political and economic freedom, civil rights, and quality of life. It also had high levels of economic inequality, political instability and administrative overreach, with progressives and conservatives threatening to split the country apart several times. Cascadia had a fair degree of corruption, as people that owned towns automatically received a seat in the Senate. | The Republic of Cascadia was a [[wikipedia:Federal_republic|federal republic]] with three separate branches of government, including a [[wikipedia:Unicameralism|unicameral]] legislature.

The Republic of Cascadia was a highly developed country, with a national gold reserve of over 3000 ingots at the time of reunification, along with several thousand divided by provinces. Cascadia's provinces varied greatly in terms of economic success - some provinces, like Greenland and Wyoming, had a very high [[wikipedia:Gross_domestic_product|GDP]] from efficient automatic farms (like the Nord ice farm) and a large, active population. Other provinces, like Bhutan, had a very low GDP due to inactivity and a low population. Although other nations like [[Québec|Quebec]] and [[Britain]] had larger gold reserves, Cascadia's unique democratic principles led to increased immigration and activity compared to that of wealthier monarchies. | The Republic of Cascadia was a highly developed country, with a national gold reserve of over 3000 ingots at the time of reunification, along with several thousand divided by provinces.

Before the nation of Cascadia was founded, there was the town of Astoria. Founded in the Beginning era, on November 26th, it is the oldest surviving town in the Pacific Northwest. Although Cascadia did not exist in the first few weeks, the idea was already conceptualized. The founders envisioned the birth of a democratic nation that would unite the region. Thus sparked the creation of Cascadia. | Before the nation of Cascadia was founded, there was the town of Astoria.

Cascadia was a four-way creation between the players RangerMK01, Banthos, Kathulos, and Think Geek. Because the cost of nations was cheaper during the inception of the server, it took only a short while to acquire the materials. After a few days of raising funds for the nation, its founding members had enough to create Cascadia. | Cascadia was a four-way creation between the players RangerMK01, Banthos, Kathulos, and Think Geek.
