Cascadia entered an era of great internal instability through the botched RMF buyout, in which the then Secretary of Defense, REALLimpopo, who was tasked with holding the nation, decided to take the nation for himself, which effectively bankrupted Cascadia. This also led to Osoyoos, an upcoming political faction, to come into play, bringing along with them a jingoist, imperialist agenda. Bachinuni, who was the president at the time, resigned immediately, believing the nation needed a more active leader, as he had been not throughout his term. His Vice President, [[EmpressCorgo]], took over the nation, and immediately got to work on negotiating gold back to those who donated toward the botched buyout and recovering the economy. The August elections had the most presidential candidates Cascadia had ever seen by this point, with eight candidates putting forward a bid. The Osoyoos-backed PhantomXYZ_ had the most first preference votes, however EmpressCorgo won reelection through final-preference votes.

EmpressCorgo would have a new national shop built, which was designed by Setrus, Milgorn and [[Ravioli983]], and built by Corgo herself ingame. This process took over a month, however it led to a boost in the Cascadian economy, with more room and a renewed focus on promoting the shop.

This process took over a month, however it led to a much needed boost in the Cascadian economy, with more room and a renewed focus on promoting the shop. Some bills such as the Voter Age Act and the now Rainy Day Fund Act were passed during this time, alongside also reintroducing Cascruit, which had been repealed under Bachinuni's administration. The Treaty of Walterston was also signed between Limpopo and Cascadia, which was a controversial agreement to have Limpopo pay back those who donated toward the aforementioned botched buyout at a rate of 50 gold a week. Cascadia eventually would recover to normal levels financially, and would even be on a gradual upward trend.
 
Osoyoos had already been known to be very eager to escalate conflict, however after the September Elections this would be turned up by a huge amount. Figures within the movement accused the Frontier of not honoring an alleged deal that they had made to support each other electorally, and as a result, a deep feud erupted between the two, massively increasing the political instability and toxicity in Cascadia. They also had gained an imperialist itch, and wanted to conquer Cascadia's then southern neighbor of Jefferson, mainly because of a similar feud they had with it's leader, Rocksthunder. During this time, they also began to openly desire taking over the country as a one party state, mainly because of the now deep tensions between them and a newly formed loose coalition between the Frontier and the Corgo Administration.
 
When the October Election cycle came around, the results at final preference ended in a tie between the Osoyan Flatvent_One and the Social Democrat incumbent EmpressCorgo. Due to the tied election, the result was to be decided by a contingent election in the House of Representatives, however before the contingent election was to be held, Osoyoos attempted to trap dozens at a speech in Osoyoos proper, admitted their plan to plunder the national treasury if elected to power, and most of Osoyoos's figures left the nation. They would go on to found the nation of Chad almost immediately after, who would also go on to have a short yet storied existence of crusading against Cascadia in the Wagner War.
