'''Bend''', formerly '''Portland''', was a town in [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia]] in the former location of Bend. The town was founded by [[BetaPlain]] on 24 December 2019, with intentions to form the nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]]. However, due to the lack of proximity with other Cascadian towns and being too far away from real-life Portland's location, activity was sparse, resulting in the town being sold to player Chrysoprasus. | '''Bend''', formerly '''Portland''', was a town in [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia]] in the former location of Bend.

Early planning for Portland began when [[BetaPlain]] was dissatisfied with his town of [[Newburn (Nova)|Newburn]] and the fact that he was not able to fulfill his wishes to form the nation of [[Republic of Southwest Alaska (Nova)|Southwest Alaska]]. Player [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] contacted [[BetaPlain]] during this troubling moment and asked if he could form the nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]] for the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Republic of Cascadia]], as a new province. [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] offered to fund the nation of [[Nova:Oregon (BetaPlain)|Oregon]] via the [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadian]] treasury, in an endeavor to expand [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia's]] political power within the region and its population. | Early planning for Portland began when [[BetaPlain]] was dissatisfied with his town of [[Newburn (Nova)|Newburn]] and the fact that he was not able to fulfill his wishes to form the nation of [[Republic of Southwest Alaska (Nova)|Southwest Alaska]].

[[BetaPlain]] personally inspected the ruins himself via the nation spawn in Astoria and made it clear to [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] that the location was favorable to create a town. [[BetaPlain]] was under the impression that he would eventually raise enough gold to expand Portland to its real-life location. | [[BetaPlain]] personally inspected the ruins himself via the nation spawn in Astoria and made it clear to [[EstiQT|Estonian Mapping]] that the location was favorable to create a town.

[[BetaPlain]] quickly began development of the area where the town was, and preparations were made to create a town hall in the ruins of Bend, and a new shopping district, akin to his ideas for [[Newburn (Nova)|Newburn]]. | ||

The town's lack of proximity to the actual location of [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland]] made the town slightly hard to find on the dynmap and there was nothing stopping anyone from founding another town in [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland's]] real-life location. | The town's lack of proximity to the actual location of [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland]] made the town slightly hard to find on the dynmap and there was nothing stopping anyone from founding another town in [[wikipedia:Portland,_Oregon|Portland's]] real-life location. | ||
On top of this, the capital of the [[Pacific Republic]], Mount Rainier, was threatening Portland's claim to the [[wikipedia:Columbia_River|Columbia River]]. Considering [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia's]] foreign relations to the [[Pacific Republic]], [[BetaPlain]] contacted [[EstiQT|Estonian_Mapping]] the day he noticed, 1 February 2020. | |||
