Osoyoos (political faction): Difference between revisions

Most of those within Cascadia were jubilant in response to Osoyoos's secession, believing them to have been a major threat to the nation's democracy and even security, as Flatvent had admitted they were planning to steal the entirety of the nation's bank if he had won, as they were seceding. Cascadia's population and activity Experienced a significant dip, with Cascadia's population experiencing a low of 178 from 280~, not experienced since the foundation of the nation itself. The fact that Osoyoos not only seceded, but left the region entirely, was seen as a major positive to Cascadia, as it prevented Cascadia from going into civil war and losing territory. The secession was said to be the second best possible outcome for Cascadia concerning Osoyoos, behind them quitting the server entirely. However, these views were not expressed by the government publicly as to avoid foreigners from viewing the events as government repression. Osoyoo's short but storied existence is often considered to be Cascadian Democracy's greatest test yet, one which Cascadia narrowly passed.

Though the nation kept growing after the secession, activity was lower and as a result, the October term was relatively uneventful excluding the merger of Jefferson into Cascadia. This would actually lead to Chad, who were made up of the seceded Osoyans, surpassing Cascadia in population for a very short period in December. However, by the time of the [[Wagner War]] Cascadia's population and activity increased back to pre-secession levels, and would continue to grow after that.  

Many of the towns within Chad followed similar naming practices to their towns in Cascadia, with a capital called Osoyoos, Flatvent_One founding a town named Baroque Works again, and the same so for Thither138 and his Mt. Constantinople. The majority of Osoyoos who founded Chad would later seek revenge on Cascadia, accusing SayerQT of having rigged the election results in favor of EmpressCorgo, albeit unfounded. This resulted in them starting the [[Wagner War]], eventually leading to multiple other nations such as Texas joining in. Chad would permanently decline in activity during the later stages of the Wagner War, eventually disbanding some time in spring of 2024. After this, they would resettle in [[Aurora:Germany|Germany]], eventually scattering or quitting the server throughout the rest of 2024.

In combination with imperialism, Osoyoos was very nationalistic, not just for Cascadia, but for their in-group as well. They, as a result, would put those not within their group down, including Frontiersmen, and occasionally Social Democrats. They also disliked those who did not use microphones in voice chats, believing it to be harmful to the activity of Cascadia. This was one of their main criticisms of EmpressCorgo, the President throughout their existence and prominent Social Democrat, who refused to use microphones in voice chats, opting for [[Milgorn123]] to act as her voice at debates. They also had a distrust toward those they would refer to as "Discadians", Cascadians who were mainly active on discord instead of ingame, whether perceived or real. This was particularly levied at people such as EstiQT and [[SayerQT]], who fit the term's description. The term, which was invented by them, would later become part of the political lingo of populists such as Setrus in the spring of 2025, who used it in the same fashion.
