''The Turnaround''
''The Turnaround''


The second week of January was remarkable. Michigan was sold for 3.5k to Illinois, which helped Cascadia's Foreign Affairs greatly by getting us out of Eastern politics. The national bank reached over 1.5k gold, and eventually would reach 2k gold. On top of this, the recruitment competition was put in place, and would mark one of the greatest points in Cascadian history. After a short battle with the Alaskan Union, they suffered defeat, and ended up joining Cascadia a week later, and by January 24th 2020, Cascadia had reached 700 residents, which is the most residents Cascadia has ever had in its history, breaking the previous record by over 150 residents. Keijod, one of Cascadia's best recruiters at this time, purchased the Maldives, and joined Cascadia with its 19th province.

The nation peaked at a population of 707, and fell from that point down.

''Important Senate Notes''
''Important Senate Notes''


The senate passed the APA laws, which are successfully helping preserve the legacy of Cascadia by keeping Astoria safe at all times. Funding from the national bank was used to claim around Portland so that they could not prevent Astoria expansion, and Cascadia looted the town of its valuables, ultimately making its leader MegaPatato quit EMC. A recruitment competition was done in which raised the population to its record high 700, awarding 200 gold to Yukon for the most residents in a town. Also during the term, a proposal was passed which created a 3rd advisor position in the cabinet as an addition to the FA card. And DICKS was finally amended, allowing for the cabinet to hold the auditor and archivist positions, and for the Justices to view the cabinet.

''Strengthening Relations with the Alaskan Provinces and BC''
''Strengthening Relations with the Alaskan Provinces and BC''


The Alaskan provinces in Cascadia are essential, and make up an astronomical amount of the population. Losing them would be a death sentence to the nation at this point in time, so the cabinet knew they had to do something. As a response, Lyonc and Karlraven06 were added to the cabinet, and Alaskans were urged to attend all senate meetings to better communicate. Klondike, led by Scrabs, expanded greatly too. Both Klondike and the rest of Alaska served a great purpose in the turning-point of this term. Karlraven06 and Daddy_Stirner played a huge role in bringing Alaska together and being closer to Cascadia, and later on regained possession of Newburn after losing it during the Alaskan crisis. BC relations were greatly changed after their leader JesTer_BBx had conversations with Cascadia, usually in the G5 summits, and when Cascadia defended Slave Lake from an attack from NWT. On the 18th of January, Slave Lake had left BC and joined as a Cascadian Province.

''The State of The Union''
''The State of The Union''


Half way through the term a State of The Union was held, discussing the success we had and also what will need to be worked on. Since this point, Cascadia has prospered like never seen before.

''Lousiana and Texarkana''
''Louisiana and Texarkana''


Texarkana, formerly in Michigan, rejoined Cascadia by joining Arizona, which upset Louisiana as they wanted it as their territory. This conflict ended up falling into obscurity and never reached a resolution, making it unresolved, and potentially questioned in the future.

Cascadia broke their all time population, and all time chunk record, with 7500+ chunks, and by population and number of towns (83), it was the 2nd largest mega nation on the entire server. Only to be behind GRE.

''Summary:'' Alaskan relations were greatly fixed, BC relations were strengthened, Cascadia was removed from East Coast politics, Astoria's security was strengthened greatly, the population set an all time high record, the outlook on Foreign Affairs is decent overall, with a bit of stress revolving around the NAP, The national bank had a great donation campaign, raising 2k gold, a few new provinces were added to Cascadia, with Haida leaving, the cabinet was changed multiple times but ultimately became successful, a war was ended with the Alaskan Union, and the NWT leader was banned for exploits, which ended the defensive requirements for Cascadia in Slave Lake and Klondike. Many more things happened and many more things will come in the future. And as Fractured_Soul's campaign slogan said, "May The Republic Thrive." And the Republic of Cascadia did indeed thrive, and it expanded powers in the Pacific Northwest exponentially.
