Aurora:Mackenzie: Difference between revisions

'''Mackenzie''' (Previously known as '''NWT'''), was a nation located in Western Canada, primarily northwest Canada. The capital of Mackenzie was HayRiver. The nation was founded on October 2nd, 2024 after seceding peacefully from [[Cascadia]], and was dissolved in December 2024. Mackenzie at its peak was ranked 38th.

Mackenzie was located in northwestern Canada, with some territories dipping into British Columbia. To the south are the nations [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]] and [[Aurora:BC|BC]], to the west is the nation of [[Aurora:Alaska|Alaska]], and to the east is the nation of [[Aurora:Wollaston|Wollaston]]. The nation features giant landscapes of mountains to the west and more warm, wet regions to the east. The nation can be divided into two political districts, the east and the west.

Tensions arose when the new player Aduwastaken created the town "Ythan_Adevir" on the road east of Castle John, the most populated city in NWT. The mayor first requested to join Mackenzie by messaging xHydre via Discord, then joined [[Cascadia]] and began denying ever contacting xHydre; furthermore after a week of communications between Adu and the Mackenzie diplomats a ticket was created in the Cascadia Discord. Supreme Leader xStoicx made several attempts to claim national sovereignty in the region; but Drac, Milgorn, and other Cascadian bureaucrats denied the legitimacy of Mackenzie whilst spending their remaining diplomatic time belittling leftist ideologies. The NWT government demanded the town be moved further south away from the road they'd built as xStoicx & xHydre had plans to create a national metropolis along this route, but as Cascadia declined this offer NWT felt they had no choice but to declare war on [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]] in order to protect their territorial sovereignty in the Mackenzie Basin region. Since the war began Cascadia funded multiple settlements around NWT territorial claims and major cities including Error and Fort_Toto directly between Castle John and HayRiver. Prime Minister Ruffwoof was accused of foreign interference as they were involved with the Cascadia "shadow government" secretly interfering with NWT's political agenda from the start as reported by an anonymous source. Founder xStoicx had suspicions of Ruffwoof's intentions in the nation after learning of Ruffwoof's allegiance to his former nation [[Aurora:Cascadia]]. xStoicx proposed the NWT Legislative Assembly impeach him and thus he was immediately removed from office. Upon breaking further NWT Discord rules by spamming the advertisement's channel, Ruffwoof was removed and banned from the server.  

 

After user Limao_mao reported NWT's name as a duplicate of another smaller nation by the name of N.W.T, NWT was forced to be renamed and rebranded. They wanted their nation to be named Mackenzie for simplicity, however staff forced them to be named the Mackenzie Basin. Later, they renamed to simply Mackenzie.

 

While the Mackenzie founders made several attempts to bring socialism to their land, their constitution (which was approved and signed by multiple founders including RuffWoof and xHydre) allowed xStoicx ultimate executive powers as NWT's standing monarch, as he had accumulated the funds and purchased the nation himself initially. Mackenzie entered a political loop in its final months, electing Prime Ministers like RuffWoof and TheSnowic, both eventually being removed from their positions and outlawed by xStoicx with little public information released as to why. xStoicx suffered tremendous financial pressures during the Cascadian invasion, as HayRiver's southwest border became overclaimed by Ruffwoof's Beaver_Lake, ultimately leading to xStoicx unclaiming the western area of HayRiver all together (losing 1000g+ in chunks).  

 

xstoicx ultimatly lost faith in creating his ideal socialist nation on EMC's "NEET Oligarch server" ( - xstoicx), his ambitions of creating an equal nation for new players alike fell apart; he believed Cascadia was a huge threat to the sovereignty of Mackenzie and was too influential in the continent to compete, especially with strong allies surrounding the Mackenzie River Basin. xStoicx sold the nation to Tuzzzie (the queen of Alaska) for 3500g, and sought asylum in the northwestern part of Alaska's coast, eventually founding the new nation of NorthwestAmerica. xstoicx wishes "that people will understand the immense pressures of creating a socialist nation, it isn't an easy task - especially with the greed and crime that continues to plague the server."
