Much of the Acadian and American community, as well as a small minority of Californians, came from [[Cascadia|Aurora Cascadia]] between 2024-2025 and 2022-2023 for some Americans. This time in Aurora Cascadia was very important as it exposed these communities first hand to how a faithful democracy performs on EarthMC. Benefits were higher activity, longevity, and a large community, Cascadia consistently was the most active nation for years reaching an average 30 people online a day. But there were also many negatives such as bureaucracy, intense arguments and rifts caused by politics, slow reactions to national issues, constant confusion with the government system from new players, and notably the lack of a competitive nation shop during all four years of Terra Aurora. These negatives, along with other drama, divided the Cascadian community towards the end of Terra Aurora between primarily two main groups. One group was associated with inactivity and being content with the status-quo or more intense bureacracy, and the other group was associated with activity, community building, and reforms. This division caused the Cascadian community to separate into multiple planned nations for Terra Nostra which at first included Cariboo, Acadia, and New York as the largest nations, and for the most part most of the reform group filtered into Cariboo and New York while most of the status-quo group filtered into Acadia. When Mjap888, planned nation holder of Cariboo, consolidated power and introduced bureaucracy into the planned Cariboo nation, most of the reform community left to join the Acadia plans, recreating the same conflict as in Cascadia with the same two large groups. | |||
Official plans for Chicago, and a consequential Chicagoland or Illinois nation, were conceived as early as February 2026 by [[Setrus]]. The plans were meant to be moderately critical of Cascadia, advertising a radically less bureaucratic nation with community building and activity at the forefront. In March these plans were later merged into the plans for America (then Midwest) when [[sayerleft]] discussed the idea with Setrus, who accepted on the basis of having access to a larger group of founders with a higher likelihood of creating Chicago. In the infancy of America's planning, Chicago was floated around as the top choice for the nation's capital due to its notability and central location within the United States. However when sayerleft, the longtime nation holder for Aurora Cascadia, floated the idea of being nation leader for America, Milwaukee became the capital instead after Setrus refused giving up Chicago to sayerleft. | |||
