In Vermont, Farosh_ served as Representative for one week following a special election, before he was appointed as Vice President, succeeding Princeling7.

Early Career
Within the OFN, Farosh_ was appointed Assistant Secretary-General to Secretary-General and President of Cascadia, Dracnoian. Declining to run for a second term as President of Vermont, Farosh_ migrated to Cascadia, settling in the town of Fresno. In November, he was elected to the 28th House of Representatives, as well as serving as an Advisor of Dracnoian. During his first term as a Representative, Farosh_ proposed the 'Raptormm4 Conservation Act', re-establishing the National Park Service, and the 'Cascades National Park Act', which created preserved the name-sake of Cascadia.
In December, Farosh_ was re-elected to the 29th House of Representatives. He was also appointed as Secretary of State by incoming President 4Whatok, succeeding Capitanfra. In this position, he reformed the Department of State through the 'Diplomatic Re-Organisation Act of December 2024', refocusing the Department on Cascadia following its reliance on the OFN. During his time as Secretary, Farosh_ began negotiations with Alaska, securing the Treaty of Juneau and signed a Non-Aggression Pact with BC, ending any prior conflicts in the Great North following the NWT War that had concluded a month prior.
First Term
In January 2025, Farosh_ announced his intentions to run for President in the upcoming election. Picking current Vice President of Cascadia, Xeocas as his running mate, he won the election with 61.1% of the vote against ThornierRex3330 and former President SergioTheCrafter. During his Presidency, the Farosh_ Administration introduced the Library of Cascadia and the Major Crimes Act, as well as working to cut red tape and bureaucracy. In late January and early February, the Arcadians, who had migrated from Havaiki, returned home and many dissatisfied Cascadians joined Alaska. What followed was a period of inactivity dubbed as the Brain Drain, when many active politicians left the nation.
On the 30th January, Illinois attacked the Midwest Union, beginning the next phase of the OFN-Entente War. The very next day, former King of Texas and perpetrator of the Great American War, North_Paso returned to take the throne of Texas after instability in the nation. Facing multiple challenges abroad, the Farosh_ Administration sought to defend Cascadia and her allies from outside threats and invasions and begin domestic reforms, entering into a period of isolationism.
Second Term
In February 2025, Farosh_ ran for a second term as President of Cascadia. Running against one candidate, SergioTheCrafter, Farosh_ picked Secretary of State HawaiianDPG as his Vice President. The ticket won with a landslide of 73.3% of the vote as the turnout fell to a low of 39.8% with no major competitors for many elected positions.
After a major cabinet reshuffle, the second Farosh_ Administration focused on domestic reform, passing the Army Corps of Mayors Act, which established an army of mayors. Other laws, such as the Public Companies Act and the Cacadian Communications (CasCOMMS) Act would also see growth in Cascadian business sector, laying the foundations for a public broadcaster and news organisation. To address the ongoing Brain Drain, the Department of Home Affairs, led by Secretary Milgorn123, introduced the 'Cascadian Immigration Act', establishing temporary citizenship. After the creation of Settlement Grants, the immigration programme saw major success when a large community of Baltic Immigrants joined Cascadia following Lithuania's merger with Tavastia in early March, revitalising the nation with new activity and towns.
During President Farosh_'s second term, Cascadia saw mounting tension in the Great North as Alaska encroached on Cascadian territory. Late February and early March would see Vermont withdraw from the OFN-Entente War and the collapse of Texas into Civil War, strategically isolating Cascadia and placing immense pressure on the Farosh_ Administration.
USA Affair
Compounding these issues was the 'USA Affair', a major diplomatic scandal which would see former Speaker of the House, Shadowcipher, illegally sell the 'USA Trade Possession' without the authorisation of the Government of Cascadia, which owned the nation as an asset, as established by law. After negotiations proved fruitless, Shadowcipher and former Vice President, Capitanfra, would legally challenge several Cascadian laws while citizens of Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia. In response, Attorney-General Akeboun would introduce the Foreign Interference Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives shortly after, preventing foreign citizens from practicing law in Cascadia. Despite further negotiations, the USA nation would be sold to new owners while the town of US joined Cascadia.
As of March 2025, the USA Incorporation Act which established the Trade position has not been repealed by the House of Representatives.
Post Presidency
Farewell Address
When he was first elected, President Farosh_ had made it clear that it he had no intention to run for a third term as President of Cascadia. Before the March 2025 Presidential Debate on 13th March, President Farosh_ delivered his farewell address to the nation, stating that he would retire and only consider returning to Cascadian politics if he had ideas 'he wanted to share'. He emphasised that public office is a purpose - not an entitlement, distancing himself from influential politicians who continue to stay active in politics long after their terms as President.
March 2025 Cascadia General Election
During the March 2025 General Election, both of Farosh_'s Vice Presidents ran for President. To avoid controversy, he maintained a low profile and voted as a private citizen.
He did not run for re-election in the March election, and was succeeded by incumbent Vice President HawaiianDPG. He has since taken up a career as a Librarian at the Library of Cascadia.
