=== The 7/23 Nuking ===

On July 21, 2024, Raptor's term as President of Cascadia came to a close, and Lovelyfurball succeeded him. Furball had been Raptor's preferred choice, due to his involvement in the war up to that point, his recruiting skills, and his experience fighting wars in the Middle East as King of [[Aurora:Israel|Israel]]. Around 10:05 PM PT (12:05 AM CT; 1:05 AM EST) on July 22, Furball was attempting to add the "cesspool" role to Samisol shortly before going to bed. By accident, he instead gave Samisol the "admin" role, giving Samisol complete access to the Cascadian discord. Samisol then alerted a GC of high-ranking Texans and allied leaders. A plan of action was quickly formulated in-call: first, channels deemed 'noteworthy' would be downloaded via Samisol's modified discord client and packaged into a .rar file for later review. Samisol himself, alongside ~~a younger Texan~~ named jp.f, would complete the nuking. Nearly 300 Cascadians were banned or kicked, almost all roles were deleted, and all but 2 channels were deleted. To the amazement of Cascadian officials, these were the passed-laws and passed-resolution channels, the only channels needed to keep the institutions of the nation intact. The total 'active time' in the nuke was around 30min, and Cascadian response was delayed due to it being extremely early in the morning. Among the final changes was the name and icon of the server changed to "Total Texan Victory". As Cascadian leadership scrambled to figure out what had happened, Furball was removed from many government channels for fear of him being a Texan spy, and the government began to discuss how to reassure confidence amongst Cascadians after the nuking of the Discord. [[Arcadian]] and experienced Discord admin [[Dracnoian]] was given admin powers in the immediate aftermath of this incident, in order to help rebuild the discord from scratch. By morning on July 23, most channels and roles had been restored.

The personal security threat of the Texan nuking was also deemed extreme by many. Texas at this time was ~~still harboring a number~~ of ~~known doxxers~~, most notably Bonzzil. Cascadian leaders were advised to change passwords on their accounts and check their personal internet footprints for leaks. The fact that Furball, who up to this point was still a major suspect in the nuking, had access to the casual GC with personal information of Cascadian leadership was also concerning. Rocksthunder, in an attempt to protect his personal information from being doxxed, would leave the GC and swear further fealty to Texas. At 11:03 PM PT, July 22, the cabinet declared Furball (who was asleep by that time) inable to exercise his powers as president, making Vice President Setrus Acting President. Furball, embarrassed by the incident and recognizing it would be difficult to recover from, officially resigned from the presidency at 10:41 AM PT on July 23. Texas would declare victory over Cascadia at 11:15 PM PT (1:15 AM CT; 2:15 AM EST), July 22, citing the nuking of the Cascadian discord and the capture of most of California. Cascadia immediately rejected the declaration of victory that same day, with Milgorn stating that "Cascadia firmly rejects the declaration of victory by Texas. The Texan bastards will pay for their action. We will never surrender, even if it is us against the world." An additional Cascadian response would be issued on July 26, making note of recent Texan bans (including some for doxxing), and promising the continue the war.

The nuking drew widespread reactions from across the international community. Nunavik, who effectively succeeded Laurentia around July 17, condemned Texas and demanded that they return the download of the Cascadian discord to Cascadia. Pilbara, whose involvement was limited to the placement of Weezer2, effectively withdrew their active involvement from the conflict due to Vermont's ceasefire and the nuking. In the aftermath of the 7/23 Nuking, the war would enter into a period of relative inactivity. Many in Texas believed that the war was effectively over, and that they had won it. Samisol's activity would begin to dwindle after the nuking, until he eventually quit and never returned in early August. The wartime presidencies of Rocky and Lukedcool (the latter of whom presided over the nuking) would fade into the activity and economic-focused presidency of JoeJoe77. For Cascadia, the 7/23 Nuking was a major milestone in both the war and the nation's history. It is considered by many to have been the most significant attack against Cascadia in the nation's history. It wouldn't be until several weeks later that Cascadia began to operate normally again, and counteroffensives returned as an option. Despite the loss of nearly 2 years of national history in the nuking, the event would eventually become a symbol of Cascadian resilience, often compared to the [[Battle of Oceanside]]. The 7/23 Nuking is also considered to have been the turning point of the war. As Raptor would say of the attack, quoting Winston Churchil, "The darkest hour is just before dawn."

=== The Cascadian Summer Offensive ===

Line 127:

Throughout the Summer of 2024, many significant Texan figures and close friends of North_Paso were banned including LivingHumanBeing, BonZZil, and TheAmazingMoe. Ghostyuu, then leader of the nation [[Aurora:USA|USA]], was responsible for these bans and notably utilized knowledge of doxx lists and other illegal behavior for the bans.

In early September 2024, a Discord call occurred between KARN4, 911saph, North_Paso, 2SCAVA (aka ChildMineWorker, CMW), and a ~~furry known as~~ Nephi affiliated with KARN4. The call acted as a conference between the Mexican Empire and Texas with the goal of sorting out border conflicts and other disagreements. 2SCAVA secretly recorded the call and posted them to the EarthMC Discord forums as three videos.[https://discord.com/channels/219863747248914433/1282883893116010496/1282883893116010496 <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>] Things quickly heated up between KARN4 and North_Paso, who was particularly frustrated about the failures of Texas forming the Rio Grande Empire, something that required parts of Northern Mexico, the Yucatan, and California. After 1 minute and 3 seconds into the third video, North_Paso stormed out of the call yelling, "Now I'm off my fucking rocker ... I gotta [5x] fucking leave I gotta- gotta fucking leave the VC so that I can fucking calm down. Lets talk again tomorrow, okay? I am fucking open to negotiations, I'm just a little upset, okay? I'll let you go and-see ya."[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1251286254990000259/1282594487482454057/Paso_coke_freakout_3.mp4?ex=697514f3&is=6973c373&hm=e19a149c36aa7c8ba09a960b54cb7f19ea8af79c71e35f8d41ee96ba716b1c4f& <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>] A little afterwards this call, KARN4 would end up stealing the entirety of the I WANT GOLD casino profits, over 50,000 gold, which North_Paso had access to however kountr (friend of Ghostyuu) technically owned.

By the end, North_Paso stepped down from his title as king and quit EarthMC, although he later returned in 2025.
