This term was also marked by the [[Hanse Library Robbery]], a library in then-Austria that was robbed of tens of thousands of gold in items by three Cascadian citizens: [[3llies]], [[Paradox1080]] and [[8kwng]]. The anger about the robbery was directed toward the Cascadian state itself, who responded by attempting to recover and return as much of the items or value as they could, a process that would take a couple months, alongside voting to expel 3llies from the House of Representatives. Despite this, it would remain a major scandal, as many didn't see this as enough, with enemies of Cascadia branding the nation collectively as scammers for months afterward, citing the incident.

With the [[Overclaim]] update on the horizon, Cascadia's adversaries, particularly the newly-formed Chad and North_Paso's Texas, saw it as a way to seriously harm or even destroy Cascadia. As a result, Wagner Group was formed, an alliance formed to do just this, and on December 13, the group declared war on Cascadia, starting the Wagner War.
With the [[Overclaim]] update on the horizon, Cascadia's adversaries, particularly the newly-formed Chad and North_Paso's Texas, saw it as a way to seriously harm or even destroy Cascadia. As a result, Wagner Group was formed between Chad and two other nations, an alliance formed to do just this on December 13. On this same day, the group declared war on Cascadia, starting the Wagner War. Over the coming weeks, more nations would join the alliance, such as the aforementioned Texas, Tasmania, and Somalia under 8set. Texas would also found the [[Restored Republic of Cascadia]] through Bon_Kranch, a puppet state under the in-game nation of Oregon, made with the goal of eventually replacing Cascadia, whom they would now refer to as "Pacifica". Texas's declaration of war was also notable for it's infamous attached speech by North_Paso, known as the "Deadly Sins Speech". It was an exceedingly long 10,000 character rant about Cascadia, likening multiple of it's top members to some of the [[wikipedia:Seven_deadly_sins|Seven Deadly Sins]]. He referred to Cascadia as a whole as undemocratic, toxic, factionalistic, and in Paso's words, "The most morally bankrupt nation on the server".
 
The war up to the buildup to [[Judgement Day]] for Wagner was mainly consisted of an informal smear campaign, planning a massive overclaiming attack on Cascadia's vulnerable towns and the sniping of the town of Seaside by 8set, which is a section of what is now [[Aurora:Astoria|Astoria]]. Cascadia's actions during this time consisted primarily of Operation REDACTED, an already active plan to fortify as many of their vulnerable towns as they could for Overclaim. This plan was a huge success, with Wagner forces famously only being able to overclaim a single chunk in [[Chaeronea]] on Judgement Day, as it's then-mayor, 3llies, had arrived just in time to activate an overclaim shield for the town. Afterward, the war would become relatively uneventful over the coming weeks, with the [[San Francisco Offensive of March 2024]] being the last action of the war, where dozens of chunks in San Francisco were overclaimed by neighboring Cascadian mayors, who had personal vices with it's mayor, [[UnbatedAura|Unbated]].
 
Throughout the war, Cascadia fully recovered domestically, with activity increasing and events becoming more common under Setrus's second presidency. Cascadia's economy however was on the decline, partly due to the war, low revenue, and higher-than-average spending by the Setrus administration. Eventually, the recession stopped in mid-March, just before the Rainy Day Fund Act's threshold at the time, 2,000 gold, was reached.

=== Post-War Era, Golden Age of Cascadia ===
The end of the Great American War left Cascadia and her allies in the Organization of Free Nations as a collective superpower. Under Dracnoian's effective, active presidency, Cascadia entered a golden age, wielding the most power in North America it ever had in it's history.
