On December 11th, 2018, the players [[List of all Staff|RangerMK01]], [[Olympia|Banthos]], [[Cascadia|Kathulos]], and [[Cascadia|ThinkGeek]] established the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]], in order to create a peaceful, democratic nation in the Pacific Northwest. With the capital being located in the town of Astoria, Oregon, Cascadia quickly expanded throughout the region, eventually controlling the entirety of the Canadian and American Pacific coastline. In June 2019, Cascadia briefly admitted the province of New York, gaining a large tract of land on the Eastern Seaboard. However, with numerous [[New York Riots|incidents]] occurring, Cascadia quickly collapsed back to the northwest. Entering the new year of 2020, under the Presidency of [[EstiQT|Estonian_Mapping]] ''(now EstiQT)'', Cascadia appeared to be restabilizing and entering a new period of prosperity; however due to multiple scandals and internal instability, many major core provinces such as [[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Washington]] ended up seceding from the Republic; and due to alleged mass [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_backsliding democratic backsliding] and corruption within the government, on February 9, 2022 the [[Salish Confederation]] was established in Wenatchee, growing ever prevalent within the region; with the goal of bringing about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy direct democracy] with pure representation of the people in governance; which ended up triggering the [[Cascadian Civil War]] which, despite the name, did not involve Cascadia directly. The Salish Confederation and Republic of Cascadia peacefully co-existed, both with their own highs and lows, however their relationship gradually began to mend. On 20 February 2021, the Pacific Pact was established as an alliance of pacific nations; and on 14 February 2022, after two weeks of discussions between the two governments, the Evergreen Republic was formally established and the Republic of Cascadia and Salish Confederation both dissolved.

On December 11th, 2018, the players [[List of all Staff|RangerMK01]], [[Olympia|Banthos]], [[Cascadia|Kathulos]], and [[Cascadia|ThinkGeek]] established the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]], in order to create a peaceful, democratic nation in the Pacific Northwest. With the capital being located in the town of Astoria, Oregon, Cascadia quickly expanded throughout the region, eventually controlling the entirety of the Canadian and American Pacific coastline. In June 2019, Cascadia briefly admitted the province of New York, gaining a large tract of land on the Eastern Seaboard. After the New York Riots, however, many provinces  decided to declare independence, leading to Cascadia fracturing and weakening. Although many of these breakaway provinces eventually returned to Cascadia, this event shocked the population and led to the Senate deliberating before accepting new provinces in the future. In early 2020, under the Presidency of [[EstiQT|Estonian_Mapping]] (now EstiQT), Cascadia appeared to be restabilizing and entering into a new period of prosperity. However, due to multiple scandals and internal instability, Washington ended up seceding from the Republic, joining the [[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Rio Grande]]. Due to alleged democratic backsliding and corruption within the government, the [[Salish Confederation]] was established in Wenatchee on February 9, 2020, with the goal of bringing about direct democracy in the Pacific Northwest. This ended up sparking the [[Cascadian Civil War]] which, despite the name, did not involve Cascadia directly. The Salish Confederation and Republic of Cascadia were initially hostile to each other, entering into a cold war for control of the core territory. However, due mainly to Furballen’s efforts, the two nations gradually began to reconcile. On February 20th, 2021, the Pacific Pact was established after the dissolution of the North American Pact, and on 14 February 2022, after a series of meetings between the leaders of Salish and Cascadia, both nations were dissolved, as they united to form the Evergreen Republic.
