==== Cascadian War ==== | ==== Cascadian War ==== | ||
Since its inception, the international activities of Rupert's Land have almost exclusively included military engagements with other towns and nations. Earlier battles include skirmishes with the city of [[Albuquerque]], led by now-Mayor of Helio Jartavious, usually fought outside the walls of Northwest Co. prior to nationhood. Soon after, Rupert's Land engaged in a rather open political and military rivalry with Norway, Niger and the New York town of Saint-Jerome. Norwegian sieges and outright attacks on Northwest Co. led by [[MrAustino_]] were commonplace, while guerilla attacks carried out by the Northwest Militia against Saint-Jerome were known to occur. More recently, Rupert's Land was embroiled in a war with their western neighbour- Cascadia, with the goal of halting all Cascadian expansion into Canada. The Northwest Militia started by carrying out numerous raids into the Pacific coast of Cascadia, killing all Cascadian citizens and livestock in their path. The Cascadian province of Athabasca quickly collapsed, causing Cascadia to lose all of their land holdings east of British Columbia. Shortly after, the town of Iron City, which had been harassed by the Northwest Militia for weeks, replaced some of the animals lost in the raids and joined Cascadia as a province. Iron City was funded by the Cascadians into becoming the nation of Central Canada in order to threaten the southern Rupertian border. This culminated in the Battle of Iron City, where a large Rupertian army assaulted the Central Canadian capital, and slaughtered the defending force. Shortly after, Cubs of North Rio ambushed and killed several survivors of the battle, but most Rupertians managed to escape. Not long after the engagement, High Bishop Skildo and Iron Councillor [[IsabelleIzzy]] of Central Canada negotiated peace terms, which resulted in a secure southern border and the Central Canadian exit from Cascadia. More raids into Cascadia were conducted, which put significantly more pressure on President [[Barbay1]] to accept the crippling peace terms that Rupert's Land had repeatedly put forth, but were denied every time. Ultimately, Barbay was impeached only a few weeks into her term, as she attempted to fight back against Rupert's Land economically rather than militarily- specifically by placing an embargo on the Canadian Union. [[Beepsky]], her successor, only lasted a week in office, before [[Estonian_Mapping]] was elected president. Throughout the war, many more skirmishes and small engagements took place all over western Canada, with Rupert's Land coming out victorious every time. However, due to the Syndicate-CU War, the Cascadian War went quiet. Shortly into 2020, a white peace was agreed upon between King 754 and President Estonian Mapping, bringing the war to an end with a Rupertian victory. | Since its inception, the international activities of Rupert's Land have almost exclusively included military engagements with other towns and nations.

==== The Canadian Union and the Northwestern Syndicate ==== | ==== The Canadian Union and the Northwestern Syndicate ==== | ||
Near the end of November, 2019, Rupert's Land was invited to the Canadian Union. Despite declining on other occasions, the Royal Council accepted this new offer, solidifying peace between the nations of Canada and securing the eastern Rupertian border. Throughout Rupert's Lands's tenure in the Union, the nation was repeatedly under-represented in parliament, politics, and overall decision-making. It didn't take long for the Rupertians to realize that the true power of the Canadian Union was not in the nations that made up the organization, but rather was in the hands of the leaders of Quebec and Avalon. The Royal Council seemed to be declining new Union bills and ideas on a regular basis due to the disregard for Rupertian sovereignty that was present in the alliance. In spite of the poor treatment of Ruperts's Land by the Canadian Union, the organization still relied solely on the Northwest Militia as their army due to the disorganization and military weakness that is rampant in eastern Canadian nations. Eventually, the tensions reached their breaking point in mid-December of 2019, when Rupert's Land betrayed the Canadian Union at the Battle of Slavington, and along with Chancellor [[Tyce]] of Inuvik, formed the Northwestern Syndicate- which included eight nations at its peak (Rupert's Land, Inuvik, Somerset, Alaskan Empire, Nunavut, Slave, Athabascan, Dakota). The Syndicate quickly declared war on the Canadian Union, carrying out several raids and assassinations throughout Quebec, Avalon and Canada. The Syndicate defeated the Union within weeks, forcing them to kick several nations out of their alliance and ultimately, causing them to join Britain as | Near the end of November, 2019, Rupert's Land was invited to the Canadian Union.

The Syndicate defeated the Union within weeks, forcing them to kick several nations out of their alliance and ultimately, causing them to join Britain as a single protectorate state. By mid-January, the Syndicate had served its purpose and disbanded, making Rupert's Land fully sovereign for the first time in almost two months. | |||
