=== Cabinet Reshuffle === | |||
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, and the Civil Service Reform Act which further reduced bureaucracy. Other bills, 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. | 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, and the Civil Service Reform Act which further reduced bureaucracy.

''' | 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. 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. | ||
