|event6date=1 January 2023}}'''Cascadia''', officially the '''Republic of Cascadia''', is a country and sovereign state located in [[North America (Continent)|North America]]~~. It is ranked the #1 best nation to live in in the server~~. It is a unitary republic, covering vast swaths of the continent and extending on its peripheries to the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. It has a diverse geography, with rugged landscapes that include rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, and grassy plains, and borders [[Vermont]], [[Aurora:Illinois|Illinois]] and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, [[Alaska (disambiguation)|Alaska]], Denali, and [[Aurora:Wollaston|Wollaston]] to the north, and [[Aurora:Mexico|Mexico]], [[Aurora:Texas|Texas]], and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. With a population of 879, it is the largest, most-populated country in the Americas, and in the world. The capital of Cascadia is [[Olympia]] and its largest city is [[Meridian]], with major blocks of population fairly evenly distributed across the nation's territory, with population centers such as WildWood, [[Grouse]], [[Aurora:Astoria|Astoria]], [[Aurora:Purest Pines|Purest Pines]], [[Seattle (Aurora) | Seattle]], [[Wichita]], [[Aurora:Vancouver|Vancouver]], [[Aurora:Fort Aurelian|FA]] and Tahoe also being notable.

|event6date=1 January 2023}}'''Cascadia''', officially the '''Republic of Cascadia''', is a country and sovereign state located in [[North America (Continent)|North America]]. It is a unitary republic, covering vast swaths of the continent and extending from its origins in the Pacific Northwest to peripheries on the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, the Gulf of Cascadia, and the Gulf of California. It has a diverse geography, with rugged landscapes that include rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, and grassy plains, and borders [[Vermont]], [[Aurora:Illinois|Illinois]] and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, [[Alaska (disambiguation)|Alaska]], Denali, and [[Aurora:Wollaston|Wollaston]] to the north, and [[Aurora:Mexico|Mexico]], [[Aurora:Texas|Texas]], and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.

Cascadia originated from the settlement of the city of [[Seattle (Aurora)|Seattle]] on the first day of the server, which was established as the third town in North America. It was founded by Chrysoprasus, along with [[Vorobyevite]], [[EstiQT]], and [[Sayerleft]], and was intended to be a trading outpost and to eventually form a nation called [[Washington (Aurora)|Washington]]. This plan soon turned downhill, with an unfavorable and unstable geopolitical position in the Region dominated by [[California (Aurora)|California]], with many members from this original cast of founders leaving to Russia, leaving Sayerleft alone to run the rump of a settlement, eventually moving to a new settlement in Olympia. Sayerleft created the nation of Cascadia, with its capital in Olympia, and including the town of Seattle, on July 13, 2022, much to the dismay of the nearby [[Oregon Empire]] who saw their northwest hegemony threatened. Cascadia soon became an associate nation of New Mexico, a state of the United States of America, and signed a mutual defense treaty with [[Australia (Aurora)|Australia]]. It soon grew, with many new towns in the area either joining or being founded by Cascadia, and while a full democracy was planned from the start, a Provisional Constitution was ratified and first general elections for President, Chief Judge, and the House of Representatives were held on [[August 2022 Cascadia general election|August 17, 2022]], electing acting President Sayerleft for a full term as its first [[President of Cascadia|President]] with 82.4% of the vote.

The Cascadian national government, as established by the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|National Constitution]], is a presidential republic and liberal democracy with a separation of powers into three branches, including a unicameral [[legislature]] consisting of an elected House of Representatives, an executive branch headed by a [[President of Cascadia|President]], and a judicial branch headed by a Supreme Court. While a unitary state, for administrative and statistical purposes Cascadia has been divided since 2025 into 25 counties and 1 capital city. The Cascadian political tradition is rooted in Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality, individual rights, and the rule of law, as well as being heavily influenced by the social-democratic tradition of early Cascadian history, with Olympian democracy and Olympian economic theories (also known as Vampist-Sayerism) being philosophies in which Cascadian institutions are deeply rooted. A nonpartisan democracy, since early 2025, Cascadian politics has been dominated by both nationalist and globalist factions, although Cascadian politics have previously had different dominant factions in different points in its history. It is the largest and longest continuously existing democracy on EarthMC.

A developed country, Cascadia ranks high in economic opportunity, activity, productivity, technological innovation, upward mobility, and education. Cascadia is the largest import economy on the server, and accounts for over 6% of total global economic output in April 2025. Its economy has been the world's second largest by total wealth since early 2025 just behind Japan, and has very little substantial wealth inequality, with the highest wealth per capita of any major import-driven populated nation. A melting pot of many groups and customs, the culture of Cascadia has been shaped by years of immigration, and its soft power influence has a global reach. Cascadia is a member of multiple international organizations, such as the Organization of Free Nations (of which it is a founding and leading member), and plays a leading role in global political, cultural, economic, and military affairs.
