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. The first chancellor of the Salish Federation and prominent leader in the movement was [[Vorobyevite]]. | 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.

Soon after Salish declared war on Rio Grande, the Sunset Confederacy was formed which is a military alliance that encompasses large swaths of the American West Coast. The member nations include; Salish, Jefferson, California, North California, Rough and Ready, Glacier Bay, and Haida. For more information on this conflict, see [[Cascadian Civil War]]. On March 1, JTPilfered of Seattle was elected and inaugurated as the second chancellor of the Salish Federation. The first half of his term saw expansion and development, with the war going on as well. During the second half of the term Rio Grande offered a white peace agreement that would mean giving 100g to Rio Grande per nation in the Sunset Confederacy. JTPilfered, and in turn Salish, voted no on the deal. Towards the end of march many players from Salish became significantly inactive, such as most of Wenatchee, most of the Pacific Republic, and all of Seattle except for JTPilfered. This resulted in the nation bonus going down and the nation falling into a bit of a slump. | Soon after Salish declared war on Rio Grande, the Sunset Confederacy was formed which is a military alliance that encompasses large swaths of the American West Coast.

On April 1st, 2020, JTPilfered announced that Seattle was leaving Salish due to the fact that the chunk bonus was declining and he wants to be able to expand.

He also endorsed sayerbtheiss of Winthrop for the position of chancellor, and he ran unopposed and was declared as the third chancellor of the Salish Federation.

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. The current cantons by population are the Salish Canton ''(Capital in Seattle)'', the Southern Ocean Canton ''(Capital in Snowdrift)'', and the Pacific Canton ''(Capital on Mt. Rainier)''. The [[Haida|Kingdom of Haida]] was also a former canton of Salish during its infant stage. <nowiki/> | ||
