'''Anti-Cascadianism''' is a movement prevalent mostly in North America that encourages the weakening of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]] and the removal of its influence across [[North America (Continent)|North America]], notably Canada. The idea comes from the stylization of Cascadia as an empire, due to its already obtaining of the borders of the greater Cascadian region, but still expanding. Anti-Cascadianism does not advocate for the destruction of the Republic of Cascadia as a legal entity, but rather for it to be shrunken down to its original namesake. | '''Anti-Cascadianism''' is a movement prevalent mostly in North America that encourages the weakening of the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]] and the removal of its influence across [[North America (Continent)|North America]], notably Canada.

The movement generally does not advocate for a violent dissolution of Cascadian rule over its eastward territories, but a peaceful and diplomatic disassociation of the respective towns into their new nations. More radical members may call for violent uprising, | The movement generally does not advocate for a violent dissolution of Cascadian rule over its eastward territories, but a peaceful and diplomatic disassociation of the respective towns into their new nations.

Dislike of the Cascadian state had existed long before the movement became official. This fact is evident due to accounts from veterans and civilians from previous worlds, such as Nova, who witnessed warfare against Cascadia firsthand. Cascadia had claimed land from weakened nations or outright absorbed them on multiple occasions, leading to a general dislike of the country by many people. | |||
===== Official Movement ===== | |||
The movement began gradually taking shape in early November of 2025 in the Town of KalKash, later the [[Aurora:KalKash|Free Town of KalKash]]. Anti-Cascadian sentiment may well have existed prior to this, however. KalKash had previously been part of Cascadia under the name of KowKash before falling into ruin sometime in late 2024 or early 2025. The town was re-founded On November 1st, 2025. It was believed that Cascadia did not have any real care for the town, which contributed to its ruinous state. In spite of this history, upon the town being made newly independent, Cascadian recruiters began offering nationship back to KalKash. These offers were viewed as offensive by the KalKashian populace, who grew more distrustful of Cascadia as more offers were made. Seeing new towns join Cascadia made some view them as having fallen to the prey of the Cascadian monopoly on North American and even global power. | The movement began gradually taking shape in early November of 2025 in the Town of KalKash, later the [[Aurora:KalKash|Free Town of KalKash]].
