Official plans for Chicago, and a consequential Chicagoland or Illinois nation, were conceived as early as February 2026 by [[Setrus]]. The plans were meant to be moderately critical of Cascadia, advertising a radically less bureaucratic nation with community building and activity at the forefront. In March these plans were later merged into the plans for America (then Midwest) when [[sayerleft]] discussed the idea with Setrus, who accepted on the basis of having access to a larger group of founders with a higher likelihood of creating Chicago.

In America, due to unrelated circumstances sayerleft decided to quit EarthMC and consequently stepped down as being nation holder of America. After hearing about Chicago's plans for a national referendum on a capital change, sayerleft personally supported the idea and drafted a resolution to Congress which would ceremonially confirm the move.
