== Background == | == Background == | ||
=== Cascadian | === Utah Historically === | ||
The iteration of Utah as would become relevant during the Tooele Crisis has its origins with [[Aurora:Jefferson|Jefferson]] and the work of then-former-Cascadian [[Moxie|Moxiecodone]]. After fleeing Cascadia during the [[Battle of Oceanside]], Moxie and a number of other mostly trans-women established the Basin Union, commonly known simply as "Basin", in Salt Lake City. The nation was primarily focused on being a place for Moxie and her friends to build, and had little activity in foreign affairs. On July 29, 2023, Basin and Jefferson formed the Western Democratic Union meganation, and on August 10, they become further united through the Sequoia Union meganation. | |||
After Moxie temporarily quit the server in August 2023, Basin would be sold and transferred between a number of owners. On October 21, 2023, it was sold to Ewisawesome and renamed to Utah. On December 11, it was sold to CodeData and became a part of the [[NAU|North American Union]]. 2 days later, it left the NAU and joined the [[USA (Olsar)]]. On January 29, 2024, it again switched between the USA and NAU. On March 27, Gramassis bought Utah, left all previous alliances, and joined the ETRA. It is possible that other transfers existed in between this changes that were reported on as well, but at the bare minimum Utah traded hands at least 4 times before being bought by SwetMC in May 2024. | |||
=== Cascadian Foreign Policy === | |||
During the Spring of 2024, Cascadia had developed a new foreign policy that met the demands of the [[NSR Cold War]] and the fall in relevance of their previous international adversaries. At the time, this policy was coined as "The Raptor Doctrine", since it was spearheaded by Secretary of Defense [[Raptormm4]]. The policy focused on adopting a [[wikipedia:Big_stick_ideology|"speak softly, and carry a big stick"]] mentality to increase Cascadia's influence across North America. The policy was also concerned with rising colonial influences from European powers across the Western Hemisphere, especially the [[Aurora:North Sea Republic|North Sea Republic]], which contained the nation of Illinois and the nation of Norcallia (San Fransisco). | |||
== The Crisis == | |||
The crisis began on May 12, 2024, when Utah was transferred for at least the fifth time, this time to SwetMC. Amongst the first actions SwetMC took was to leave all previous meganations and join his home nation of [[Edesse]], in the Middle East. He also explicitly left the [[Wagner War|Wagner Group]] alliance, which Utah joined as part of the USA in December 2023. He stated in a press release that this was because he learned that Wagner was an anti-Cascadia alliance, and he was hoping to establish good relations with his new neighbors. | |||
