The union was originally the smaller nation of the “Great Plains,” under player Rakmishak. As GreatPlains grew, Rak decided to sell off his nation - eventually trading it for “North Australia” led by ScaryDragon. Dragon had ambitions to escape the failing [[United Australia|Australia]] and move to either Europe or America. He arrived in Kansas City with little information about GreatPlains, and held ambitions to recreate his grand [[Intermarium|empire]] in Eastern Europe he had once led at the start of Terra Nova. | The union was originally the smaller nation of the “Great Plains,” under player Rakmishak (LittleMining).

Kansas City and Chicago were the major population centers, joined by BigshotWarrior’s town of Rio Grande on the irl US/Mexico border river of the same name. After half a year of staying in one nation, Rak soon decided to move on. He found ScaryDragon in [[United Australia|North Australia]] and the two decided to switch nations. Rak became the leader of North Australia, a province of [[United Australia]], while ScaryDragon became the leader of Great_Plains. | ||

On the irl USA - Mexico border, the town of Rio Grande accounted for nearly '''half '''of the entire Great Plains population.

It was larger then many nations around the world and when a nearby nation went on sale for 600g, Bigshot decided to purchase it. Many of the southern towns joined it, and an alliance between the Great Plains and the new “[[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Rio Grande]]” nation was quickly established. The city of Rio Grande was renamed to Rio Grande Valley to avoid confusion. The alliance evolved into an official union, and on '''July 1, 2019''' the joint Midwestern Senate met and voted for the first time in history. On '''July 4''' the Unification Act was passed by the Senate, merging all local discords into the central Midwestern Empire one. The Unification Act also established a clear set of responsibilities for the central and provincial governments, becoming a landmark decision for the Midwest. | ||

With four provinces all flying the Midwestern flag, the population quickly grew into 300+ citizens. From the Great Lakes and Southern Ontario all the way to the Mexican border, towns prospered in the empire. The nation had grown larger then its rival Wabanaki, even though Wabanaki continued to ignore its existence. As Somerset increased its influence in the area it became necessary to seek out alliances. Rakmishak and NewYork were increasingly placing towns near each other and to top it all off rumours about an anti-Midwest coalition had been spreading. The Midwest formally entered '''a defensive pact with Majapahit '''on July 7. Still worried about a potential threat from Somerset, the Midwest joined the '''global Entente alliance '''just hours after the Midwest-Majapahit Alliance. | |||
==== War! ==== | |||
Determined to show off its newly formed military to the world, the senate passed a declaration of war against Ciao’s Hungary. Just hours later troops in Kansas City led by Dragon used multiple tricks and bribery to lure Hungarians into the city where they were brutally murdered using Lava and axes. Two Hungarians perished and a third, Ciao, was also killed in the massacre. Days later a second offensive began, with three Midwestern troops heading for Bucharest. Ciao was confronted in a small village house on the outskirts, but he refused to toggle pvp and hid until troops left. Eventually the bullying stopped as Ciao sold Hungary. | |||
==== July census ==== | |||
With the population rapidly growing the CENSUS Act of July 15 authorised the monthly population count to be held on the closest Sunday to the end of the month. The July census commenced 3 hours late, early on Monday morning central time. | |||
=== Collapse === | |||
Around August 17, Dragon deleted both Kansas City and Great Plains, effectively gutting the Midwest of its central province. The Midwest was sent into chaos as the nations scrambled to re-establish order. BigshotWarrior effectively became the leader of the Empire, but never stepped up to rule it, as it had become too decentralized. By early September, the Empire had effectively dissolved with Lacusmagnia effectively gaining independence, and Rio Grande joining the Texas Commonwealth, a different mega nation. Despite this, the Midwest was never officially dissolved, and Bigshot later inherited the titles from the Midwest, effectively making Rio the successor/continuation of the Midwest. | |||
