Prelude

After the Treaty of Banff on March 16th, the nations of Rocky_Mountains and Cascadia were at peace, at least on the official level. Behind the scenes, it was apparent that Cascadia was preparing for conflict; from political campaign posters promising to 'eliminate the insurrection', to land mines being placed around Banff. Alongside this, Cascadia had been prioritizing expansion around the Rocky Mountains to further encircle the RMF's expansion.

A small conflict with the town Prince_George quickly escalated, and shortly thereafter the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war against the Republic of Cascadia on April 8th.
