=== '''<u>Old California Era (12/01/2018 - 2/1/2019)</u>''' ===

A couple weeks after the foundation of the nation was created, a small rivalry between the towns of Phoenix and Sacramento began to brew. As a member of Phoenix and a member of [[Lake Tahoe]] (H20 and The Lone Sperm) ran against two members of Sacramento, (NickHillburn and Cmad88) in the first presidential election, the tension escalated. H20's campaign slogan was "Say no to Sacramento", and Cmad88 and his supporters in Sacramento believed this was a campaign against Sacramento itself. (Later it would become clear this was a campaign against cmad88, not Sacramento) Shortly after this, chancellor of Sacramento JPapper shared a message in a private Sacramento chat saying "If H20 wins the election Sacramento is leaving" He shared this with h20 and other government officials, who shared it publicly and exposed cmad88 as a traitor. There were mass calls for him to resign, and the resignation vote won 9-1. Cmad88 stepped down, Sacramento declared independence later that day (there was a small feud over a faulty representation system that played a part in this).

No_Jewtsu passes his presidency to JPapper on December 4th, 2018. No_Jewtsu quits the server temporarily. H2Orangejuice is elected Vice President. No_Jewtsu wishes California good luck after he said goodbye to EMC for a short amount of time.

JPapper was elected president by No_Jewtsu after his resignment on December 4th, 2018. H2OrangeJuice promises he will not be like the previous Vice President, Cmad88. [[Constitution of California]] was founded December 5th, 2018. The constitution described the rights of the towns and citizens as well as describing both the military and leadership of California. A day later the town of Phoenix leaves California on 12/6/2018, with their Secession of Sedona document. This document was delivered to the citizens of the California Confederacy by pokemonpeople, a representative of the town of Sedona which was led by current Arizona king, AmericanTaco. The document lists the reasons for their secession and their new policy towards the citizens of California. The ex-Californian towns of Sedona and Phoenix later founded the nation of Arizona. The document refers to Cmad88 or EpicCmadGamer; a now banned player who was infamous on the west coast for his toxicity. With this document [[Arizona]] was the founded. JPapper lets Cmad88's town, Sacramento, join California again. California tries to make the town of Knowhere join California. California fails on trying to get Knowhere to join and proceeds caution due to Knowhere having good defences. JPapper changes government style on December 12th, 2018. Cmad88 gets perm banned from EMC, and Sacramento becomes inactive. JPapper resigns and passes presidency to Z1rbster. Inactivity between towns strike. [[Cascadia]] and [[Arizona]] expand much faster than California. On December 19th, 2018, BiscuitLee and SuperWilly from Willyburbia buy some eggs from California.

[[Z1rbster]] was passed presidency on December 25th, 2018. [[Sperm|The_Lone_Sp3rm]] as vice president does most of the work as Z1rbster falls inactive. [[Lompoc]] Joins California January 7th, 2019. Nothing happens for 6 days. The_Lone_Sp3rm gains power of California hoping to restore it. Z1rbster was the most inactive president in Californian history.

[[Sperm|The_Lone_Sp3rm]] takes his presidency on January 13th, 2019 after Z1rbster agrees losing his power and becoming vice president. No_Jewtsu joins California again to become an advisor for California. No_Jewtsu organizes a list on how to revive California, The_Lone_Sp3rm ignores it and follows his own plan. California and Germany show up to aid Scotland on 1/18/2019 for the British Civil War/ Scottish War for Independence. JPapper, a former president of California gets banned due to going past the 5 warning limit. [[Oceanside]] joins California. The town of San Diego is revived from inactivity after NigelFarage666 rejoins. Population slightly booms for California. No_Jewtsu tries to look for a new mayor for Los Angeles to replace him. The_Lone_Sp3rm attempts to invite new towns. Revivng California slowly turning into a reality. The New Age of California begins. The_Lone_Sp3rm holds and hosts the National Convention. On 1/22/2019, No_Jewtsu failed to give presidential powers to The_Lone_Sp3rm and it accidentally transferred to [[Polythemeus (lim_brick)]]. On 1/24/2018, NigelFarage666 was already plotting to make another nation . No_Jewtsu and The_Lone_Sp3rm agreed to demand Polythemeus to give the power back, but after repeatedly trying to get the power back from Polythemeus for a week and a half, California fell. This short event would eventually hurt California for a long period of time.

No_Jewtsu accidentally transfers king power to the mayor of Lompoc, Polythemeus (lim_brick), a few weeks back before the declared independence. Z1rbster becomes president and all things go well for a little while. Lompoc declares independence through false claims like: California's tax (never existed) and exploiting the proposals from the convention (none of them were violated. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MP12cywT7uY00HCCFflB6w8DcjRwYIv-otKBi6X9xEk/edit The document Lompoc proposed] was used to show why they declared independence. Polythemeus refused to give up his accidental king role in EMC for a few weeks before this event happened. Arizona, Baja, and Old California were all outraged because of this event. <u>The [https://earthmc.wikia.com/wiki/New_California_Republic New Californian Republic] was founded by Lompoc and the disbanded towns that were California joined Arizona, Baja or were left neutral.</u><u> </u>

Z1rbster, the potential president before Lompoc declared their independence, announced that the leaders of Lompoc would hold a constitutional convention and re-invite all the towns that were kicked/left. No_Jewtsu double checks with [[iceslash28]] and it is confirmed and guaranteed that the old towns are getting invited back. The_Lone_Sp3rm reaches out to Cascadia and joins them, canceling the convention. No_Jewtsu is banned on 2/5/2019.

=== '''<u>San Diego's Independence (2/3/2019)</u>''' ===

The day after Lompoc declared independence was when the [[Pacific States]] were founded (2/3/19). Pacific States was founded for the same reason why Lompoc declared independence, disagreement with the current power. Pacific States was founded by an old member of California, NigelFarage666.

==== '''Death of Pacific States'''====

=== '''<u>Death Era (2/2/2019 - 6/12/2019)</u>''' ===

Due to the declaration of independence from Lompoc to form New California Republic, nothing really interesting happened during this period. Most of the things that happened in New California Republic is recorded as their history and not Old California's. No_Jewtsu is banned and can't do anything to save California. The old Los Angeles would eventually fall. This original nation goes idle for 4 months until everyone gets reunited again. During these 4 months, Lake Tahoe and New California Republic continue to argue and fight. The old towns of California either join Arizona or Cascadia. The mayor of Lake Tahoe becomes president of Cascadia July 1 - July 23, 2019 and gets reelected Aug 15 - Aug 17, 2019. This marked an end for the Old California era and would later be restored many months later.

The only thing keeping up the remnants of Old California was the newly founded nation of the [[New Californian Republic]]. However this nation would go right into inactivity for a couple of months.

=== '''<u>Californian Reunification Era (6/13/2019 - 9/6/2019)</u>''' ===

The New Californian Republic becomes an inactive nation throughout spring and into the early summer. Lake Tahoe continues to thrive under Cascadia's rule. Suddenly lim_brick (Polythemeus), who was the leader of NCR, reaches out to Lake Tahoe about reviving California. Lim_brick wants Lake Tahoe to join back California. Lake Tahoe accepts the offer under the conditions that The_Lone_Sp3rm, leader of Lake Tahoe, gets the king rank of California. The deal is settled.  

The_Lone_Sp3rm gets the king rank of NCR and renamed the nation back to California to soon after reform the government into a triumvirate. An oligarchy style government was the best pick after going back into Californian history where democracy failed every time. The triumvirs are The_Lone_Sp3rm, lim_brick and iceslash28. Lake Tahoe "leaves" Cascadia on 6/13/2019 so they can join California while California still remains under Cascadian power.

=== '''<u>Californian Restoration Era (9/7/2019 - 1/18/2020)</u>'''===

The nation is better than it was before with many thriving towns and excellent leadership. The new Triumvirate of California was made up of The_Lone_Sp3rm, lim_brick, and iceslash28. The Triumvirate is laying low and tries to keep peace between other nations and seeks any opportunity to invite a nearby town. California maintains their chill attitude throughout the West Coast. California joins the House of Uesegi (Asian defensive alliance) on 10/6/2019.The_Lone_Sp3rm introduces an event called CaliFriday exclusive to those only in the [https://discord.gg/bpk8HYn California Discord]. It doesn't look like California is going to decline anytime soon. No_Jewtsu introduces the Californian Recruitment Discord on 11/18/2019 to give California a slight boost on activity. A new player enters California by the name of Uma_Delicia. He recommends the idea of founding a militia to protect and preserve abandoned buildings in California from griefers and enemies. Lim_brick implements this idea and makes an official voluntary militia for California on 11/20/2019.

The nation succeeds at beings its best and conquering most of the United States West Coast. California went through rough changes like dealing with horrible and inactive leaders and becoming the New Californian Republic. The new government of California, led by triumvirs, puts California back on its feet. The nations makes the first page of /n list for the first time. '''<u>California turns a year old on 11/28/2019 11:06pm PST.</u>'''

The town of Lompoc, last held by BedWyre, falls into ruins due to inactivity on 12/4/2019. Californians try to preserve it from griefers. [[Nick]] (owner of [[Stephenville]], [[Nova Scotia]]) and [[Gawker]] (owner of [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]) fend off the raiders by repeatedly killing them until the spawn was changed. SeedyCharacter changes the spawn of the nation and blocks it off to prevent raiders. The citizens of California are sad to see such a historical town go into ruins. California seeks for another claimant for Lompoc. A day later on 12/5/2019, a loyal Californian by the name of [[ThatTechDude343]] reclaims the town of Lompoc. With this claim, the town of Lompoc is protected from griefers. The owner then switched to Mac3030, who is a former Californian who is known for their inactivity. It is not a good hand-off for Lompoc and it faces disbandment. After the town of Lompoc was revived, it was given to Mac3030. Mac3030 is was a former member of California and used to own El Paso when No_Jewtsu told him to make it. Of course Mac303 only claimed a few chunks and disappeared from EarthMC until suddenly reappearing from the shadows to reclaim Lompoc. This was a very poor decision from lim_brick and the town of Lompoc faces disbandment. It isn't looking too great for California. On top of that, other decently sized towns fall and other towns that are still barely standing lose members. There could be a possibility of California falling. However, SeedyCharacter plots something that might ruin or help out California. Only time will tell. Till this day, California still attempts to revive Lompoc.

The inactive towns were filtered out and disbanded. This gave enough time for Gawker to reorganize the government and improve the status of California. On 1/29/2020, California joins the American Order (NATO). On 2/8/2020, the government reformed into a "council-manager government," but it's really just a Monarchy. The new government style fused with a Mexican-American theme, giving leaders different titles. The king will be known as El Jefe, and the two advisers/cabinet will be known as the Consejos. The Consejos advise every political action El Jeffe does. [[HueyFreeman]] and Ac7ion will be the first Consejos of California.

On 2/8/2020, the same day the government was reformed, Ac7ion, Mayor of San Francisco, split off from California to make [[North California]]. North California gets made into a district of California, while also pulling the attention of [[Rough and Ready]]. While having the attention of Rough and Ready, all three of the nations reform the [[California Confederacy|Old Californian Confederacy]] into the [[New California Confederacy|New Californian Confederacy]]. The Confederacy leader would become SeedyCharacter, leader of Rough and Ready. The last time the confederacy was active was on 11/27/2018. Shortly after the town of Penis Lake City is founded and joins California. HueyFreeman substitutes for Gawker's position as El Jefe for a short amount of time. It is made clear that the town of Fresno will be claiming the rest of Lompoc after falling 2 times in a row. However, Fresno renames itself to Lompoc. Redwood City joins California on 2/12/2020. New Vegas becomes a town of California on 2/15/2020. Several days in from creation the confederacy is still not setup yet. Neither government or government structure are setup. It will be a while till the confederacy knows what they're doing. The confederacy idea was later scrapped and just noticed themselves as an empire instead of creating a separate group.

Several small towns rise up in California thanks to HueyFreeman1. Los Angeles also hops back on to the first page of the town list leader boards. The first town ever, that is not San Francisco, joins North California on 2/24/2020. Western City, Parker and Tuscon join California on the same day. Monterey finally gets out of inactivity and rejoins California on 2/25/2020. Even though a lot of small towns were created through generous donations from HueyFreeman1, a lot of them will be filtered out by inactivity. No_Jewtsu invites a historical figure who had a major impact on the creation of California, BadMineBoy17, back to the discord on 2/27/2020. He now figures out and plans his future on EMC.

[[Salish Federation|Salish]] and [[Lakeview]] (as an independent town) declared their independence from Cascadia because of their unstable government. This eventually triggered attacks from BonZZil and other members from or allied with [[Rio |Rio Grande]]. [[Haida]] was also against Washington and eventually sided with Salish. While Lakeview does the same, they do not formally ally with Salish. On 2/29/2020, the Californian government attempts to lead a negotiation with the Rio Grande alliance in an attempt to re-establish a formal border agreement, but were ultimately rejected. With the creation of the Washington town Tecate, located inside of California's border, they saw a reason to support the coalition against Washington as the creation of Tecate was a violation of sovereignty. On 3/1/2020 NATO, which was an alliance that California was apart of, voted 3-1 on declaring war of Rio Grande, which meant that California officially entered the war. California, which contained North California and was linked with Rough and Ready, joined the coalition against Washington with [[Jefferson]] (Lakeview), Salish and Haida. On 3/2/2020, they all formed an alliance called [[The Sunset Confederacy]]. A day after "The Battle of Los Angeles" takes place.

Summary: The Sunset Confederacy started with a clear goal of supporting Salish's conflict against Washington with and they had NATO's support. Many Battles happened in California, starting with Los Angeles and then into a majority of North California. Battles proceeded to continue up north into Salish and Washington territory. These major battles would be known as the "Battle of Los Angeles" and "The Battle of North California" which both happened on 3/3/2020. These were the last major battles, but a few assassinations did take place over the war. After these battles it was up to the leaders of both alliances to handle this diplomatically. [[Glacier Bay]], a nation created by one of No_Jewtsu's alts, GeorgeMichaeI joins the confederacy on 3/7/2020. NATO eventually leaves the war and gets demolished on the same day making it non-existent. Rio Grande demanded the Sunset Confederacy to pay a fee for the war to end. The war would eventually go on to a stalemate and both alliances would eventually put the war behind them. California leaves the American Union and the war to repair their relationship with Rio Grande. Sunset Confederacy and the American Union continue to push the war against Rio Grande. BonZZil then announces that every kill on a Sunset Confederacy citizen (excluding North California and California) gets rewarded with potions. It isn't clear when the war ended and it's not clear if it even did end. However, the continuation of hostility towards Jefferson and Salish would be one of the reasons that California would not want to be part of the Sunset Confederacy anymore.

Following California's peaceful exit from the war with [[Rio Grande]], the nation sets an example for the rest of the Sunset Confederacy. Additionally, diplomatic relations with Rio resume as well as national expansion. Over the course of the war, numerous active Californians such as HueyFreeman1 had left the nation or the server entirely. However, in April 2020, progress starts up again with the establishment of many settlements that are new or are upon the ruins of older ones. Lompoc collapses once more and a citizen of Jefferson is brought in to restart the town and claim it in its entirety. California also begins growth in northern Baja California, the Sierra Nevada, and east of the Colorado River. It is also during this time that California departs from the mega-nation known as [[America]] (formerly called the [North] American Union) due to conflict of interest. After intending to enlarge the Californian expanse due to the vice-grips of Rio and Cascadia to the south and north, respectively, Gawker initiates the process of colonial expansion for the first time in California's history. Talks had previously taken place between the nation's leadership and [[Wabanaki]] to acquire [[Comanche]], geographically located in Mexico City, during the war with Rio Grande. At the time, this was seen as a way to make headway over Rio by gaining territory close to the core of their empire. Due to the treaty between Rio and California, however, this was a move that was no longer necessary. Comanche is then re-sold by Gawker to Rio Grande for 1,000 gold.

The sale of Comanche did not dampen the spirit of Californian expansion. Discussions were in place to acquire [[Inca]], a nation owned by [[Prlckly]] which had also been in the American Union and was also once in direct conflict with Rio Grande. This acquisition is made official on May 8, 2020, which grants Inca automatic admission to the Sunset Confederacy. With an empire now spanning 2 continents, the reinvigorated California's priorities were firmly in place. Several days later, [[Nicaragua]] joins California with [[_MIMO_]] at its helm. The nation's economy is also at its most robust state because of the Comanche sale and a handful of businesses cropping up in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Gawker also decides to hold the first state-sanctioned election under his rule, due to popular demand. The vote for the positions of Consejo and Gobernador is to take place on May 24, 2020, and members of all Californian states are eligible to run for office. With this announcement, the new ranking of Provinciano is announced, which is chaired by all province leaders. On May 24th, the new Gobernadors and Consejos are picked and the Provincianos are ranked. LargeAlbert, mayor of Malibu, looks for a replacement owner for his retirement off of EMC. On 6/1/2020, the nation [[Oregon]] is founded with its capital being [[Eureka]]. Oregon joins California as a province as promised. Gawker casts a nation vote on if they should join Lacusmagnia vs. Sibir War (on Lacusmagnia’s side) and the vote passes 10-1 meaning that they would join the war. The purpose of this vote was to improve the combat skills of Californians after the humiliating surrender of the Cascadian Civil War. Around this time Nicaragua switches owners and leaves California as a province.

On 6/13/2020, Gawker announces that California will leave the Sunset Confederacy. Gawker states the reasons on why California is leaving and it is due to the fact that California has "outgrown Sunset Confederacy." Gawker also provided another reason to leave the confederacy because numerous member nations have refused to admin Californinian provinces because of fear that California will "control the vote." Gawkers also states there is many flaws on how the confederacy works and he did attempt to rectify it to no avail. His last statement was that Sunset Confederacy was stuck in its old ways and cannot acknowledge the fact that California is as big as it is. However, right after leaving, Gawker announces that California has joined a new alliance called The Syndicate. This alliance is active and growing and so far includes [[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Rio Grande]], [[Germany]], and [[Cuba]]. A few hours later and California introduces their new town, Catalina. On 6/15/2020 a new colony of Inca is made named [[Grosso]]. It is lead by StIngRay and the capital is [[Colombus]].  

On 6/17/2020, Oregon would eventually leave California to join Cascadia once again. In the eyes of California, this was seen as an act of spying and the somewhat good relations between Cascadia would slightly decrease. However, a new colony joins on the same day. [[Brazil]] becomes a protectorate of California. A few of towns join California in the span of 10 days, but most importantly, Gawker has been on EMC for exactly a year on 6/21/2020. Lompoc officially fell for the 4th time on 6/25/2020; Gawker stated there will be no more attempts at reviving it and it will be settled onto naturally by some random or will be claimed by Malibu. Sadly, Ac7ion announced he will become more inactive then usual, so he passes North California to EnglishFrog, one of the consejos of California, on 6/26/2020.

In mi-August 2020, Gawker reformed the government, destroying the roles of Conesjo and Gobernador and replacing them with El Vicejefe and the Cabinet. Later in August 2020, Gawker was banned for spreading a dox of the server mod DCdylanC. He said that EnglishFrog would serve in his absence as El Jefe until he could return. As of September 2020, Gawker is still not returning and Englishfrog is de facto El Jefe of California, although de jure Gawker is still El Jefe.
