Overview
The Salish Federation is a group of semi-autonomous nations, with a Parliamentary Direct Democracy comparable to Switzerland, that occupy portions of territory in the Pacific Northwest in North America.
History
The nation of Salish was founded on the 10th of February, 2020, by Vorobyevite with the following towns of Wenatchee, Seattle, Schaumberg, Bend, and Winthrop. Some other towns that have joined are Colville, as well as the entire nation of the Pacific Republic joining the federation as a canton.
Separation and Cascadian Backlash
On February 8, 2020, the founder of Cascadia, RangerMK01 who is no longer residing in Cascadia, stepped into Cascadian politics and announced that the next in line for President if the current president resigned would be Vice President LawOfRence of Port Angeles, to which most the government agreed to. This scenario was brought about when Estonian_Mapping suggested that he step down to help directly develop the then Province of Ontario. This caused a backlash in the Cascadian Discord, to which former senators JTPilfered, Vorobyevite, and OreoToast argued that it was not outlined in the Constitution on what was to occur, and requested a special election to be held rather than an appointment of the Vice President, by a foreign entity no less. Their respective towns gathered to form a peaceful separatist group known as the Salish Federation, which viewed Cascadia as to have fallen to a Monarchy under Ranger. When communications between Federation members was leaked, this was met with immediate backlash from the Cascadian Government, who announced these people as traitors to the state. A trial was announced to occur on 2/14/20, Valentine's Day of that year. After being kicked from the Cascadian Discord on 2/11/20, all members have refused trial. The trial was eventually canceled, as the defendants refused to show up.
Skirmishes with Washington / War of the Columbia River
Members of Washington and the greater Rio Grande Federation increased tensions on February 15th, when one member of Washington threatened the town of Winthrop and the mayor, sayerbtheiss, to return to Cascadia or death. In result, the sayerbtheiss was killed after refusing to return to their previous government. Washington militants remained active in the Wenatchee afterwards until two Salish members (sayerbtheiss and JTPilfered) were caught outside claims in Paraguay in exile peacefully collecting melons and leaves, prompting an attack on them, killing them both.
On February 19, 2020, JTPilfered and BonZZil had a standoff at around 5 o'clock in the Salish Parliament Complex in Wenatchee, which almost 1/3 of was unclaimed. During the standoff, reinforcements came from both parties, which from Salish included CaptnClutch of Jefferson, and sayerbtheiss of Winthrop, the latter of which did not fight during the battle. The battle ensued which saw CaptnClutch lose his life by accidentally setting himself on fire via lava bucket. This battle has been named by some the Battle of Parliament, the Battle of Ellensburg, and the Battle of Wenatchee. War was declared by Salish upon Washington, and the war has not received an official name, but some names being used are the Salish-Washington War, the Salish-Rio War, and the War of the Columbia River.
Government
Chancellor
The Head of the nation and elected by the Parliament. Works alongside Delegates as a fellow peer, and also deals with foreign policy. The Chancellor acts as a tiebreaker vote worth two if Parliament ever finds a tied vote.
Cabinet
Various Delegates chosen by the Chancellor and voted on by the Parliament to help run the Federation.
Parliament
The population, or Delegates is the voting body of the Salish Federation. It will vote on proposals, create laws, remove laws, remove Cabinet members, ect. Proposed items must be taken up and a vote held by the Parliament within one week, or they will fail to become law.
Cantons
Each Canton of the Salish Federation will be as equals, with no nation or town over the other in terms of laws or elected officials. The Capital is shared by all Cantons, and no one nation can lay claim to it. Cantons are free to, and encouraged to establish their own constitutions, freedoms, restrictions, trade, influence, and laws so long as they do not conflict with federation-approved Salish law.
