OreoToast held roughly 2/3 financial stake in the in-game towny nation of Athabasca as he personally helped fund one-third of the cost of the nation, and had the backing of one of the other major investors. Rudolf_Hoess was somewhat inactive on EMC and OreoToast deemed that his plans for Swanavon & the capital of Athabasca were somewhat difficult if not impossible to achieve with the extended outage of sign shops.

Soon after the secessions of the Salish Federation & Haida, BonZZil, leader of Washington, which had declared independence on its own earlier in the week started attacking Salish, sometimes accompanied by others, most often alone. While there has been no publicly stated motive for the original skirmishes between Salish and Washington, it has been suggested that BonZZil had intentions of expanding Washington into territory now held by the Salish Federation.

Salish & Washington continually exchanged skirmishes throughout the early days of the conflict. A major escalation occurred on 19 February when Haidan forces were detected by Cascadian government reconnaissance mining the border of the Salish Federation & Washington. Internal confusion led to the belief within the Cascadian government that Haidan forces were mining roads with military offensive intent against Cascadia. After being asked if he had approved the mining of Cascadian roads, Salish President Vorobyevite claimed such actions were not taken against Cascadia. When a screenshot containing Vorobyevite allowing OreoToast to place mines on the border were leaked, Salish said that it was fair game if the mines were not in the Cascadian border. It was later confirmed that no mines were placed in Cascadian claims, or with intent to take offensive action against Cascadia. However, some mines were found by the Moscow Temple, a Cascadian national monument, but it is unclear who placed these mines by the temple.

The mining incident had wide-reaching negative public press within Cascadia. Many members of the public reacted strongly to the initial news of Cascadia potentially being dragged into the ongoing conflict. It was widely believed that the government's response to the incident would have reverberating effects on the election held at the end of February.

====''Battle of Portland''====
On the 6th of June, 32Oreo was peacefully working around the Portland Area when he was suddenly attacked by a contingent of Rio Grande soldiers, including Cubs_, TheAmazing_Moe, Samisol, and Tony Montana. They explained that it was because of the association 32Oreo had with Salish, and how he still hadn't paid the 100 gold war reparation that was demanded from him. Soon after, the area became a battleground for Rio Grande and Commonwealth soldiers. Several dozen people showed up and LawofRence provide seats for them to watch. The battle caused no damage to the area, and it was good entertainment for those involved. The battle is still memorialized, as the Battle of Portland.

==== ''Growth'' ====
====''Cascadian Growth''====
After a couple months of decline and inactivity LawofRence's goal for the month was to greatly increase Cascadia's activity. He increased Astoria's population from 12 to 60 in a matter of days, as well as finished all of the houses that had been left since Barbay's Presidency. In order to combat the dwindling town list of Cascadia, LawofRence gave out government grants to people during the second part of his term. Some towns that were funded under his government grants were Portland, Grant's Pass, Argos. He also tried to adopt a zero tolerance policy on inactivity but realized he didn't have enough people to replace those he purged. Under LawofRence's presidency Cascadia started returning to regional politics as a powerful nation, and the mistakes made under the previous administrations were patched. With funding from 32Oreo, Astoria claimed two areas of land, greatly expanding there claims.
 
==== ''Province Expansion''  ====
In the middle of his term, LawofRence decided that he would try and recruit the nation of Montana into the Republic. AIRWOLF678, the leader of Montana, agreed and it joined on the 17th. On the 19th, Oregon asked to join Cascadia, and a proposal was made which passed. Timeline, the leader, was originally part of California which actually gave him 300 gold to make the nation, so had a 300 gold debt.
 
==== ''Kilton Peak Joins'' ====
UghK1, the mayor of Kilton Peak (now Edgewater), had been tired of BonZZil attacking and harassing his citizens because of his association with the Salish Federation. After some discord conversations, he discovered how Salish had formed as a rebellion, and decided he did not want to be part of Salish anymore. Frustrated that his town was being picked on, he got in contact with LawofRence and said he wanted to join another nation, and had set his sights on Cascadia, being the other major power in the region. UghK1 backed out a few times but after a dispute with the Salish government on the 20th he left and joined Cascadia. This was the beginning of a large expansion into the Northeast.
 
==== ''Renovation of the Capital Building'' ====
During LawofRence's term, Barbay volunteered to help renovate the capital building, as it was outdated and needed to be redone. The back section and sides of the building was outfitted with windows and sea lanterns were placed around for lighting. Barbay's worked very hard during the project and it turned out to be very successful. LawofRence helped with the lobby. The interior was renovated as well as the exterior. A giant project was undertaken by LawofRence, the Capital Building Basement, who was building it from March but was distracted by other things. It took at least 36 hours of intense work and dozens of inventories of stone, but it was eventually completed. It features over 30 large rooms, three levels, and underground access to other buildings. Since there was a lack of a central storage area, a giant 18 chunk storage area in the bottom most floor was constructed, which doesn't even render completely because of its size. The basement is so large that several people who visited have gotten lost and trapped.

====''Summer Expansion''====
During the month of July Cascadia underwent an extreme amount of expansion, outpacing the expansion it had experienced in July 2019. LawofRence, who was still present in politics after his term, invited the nations of Jefferson, Rough and Ready, and Utah to Cascadia, who all joined. The nation of Canadian Rockies was created on the last day of Aakhof's term, with funding from several Private Cascadian Citizens.
 
==== ''Senate Meetings'' ====
Weekly senate meetings were held by North Paso. He got the idea from Rio Grande, where he had served as chancellor before. They boasted high attendance, and it was a time for residents to bring up concerns and for the senators to discuss them. People gathered in the senate room in game as well, and items were dropped as well.
 
''Crusades against Turkey''
 
After several attacks from Aegyptus and Ancient Egypt hunters on residents of Kilton Peak, Cascadia decided to take action.

==== ''Founding of [[The Canadian Rockies|Canadian Rockies]]'' ====
Kilton Peak and Argos had been planning to create their own nation because of their size and influence. This idea had been debated by the rest of the meganation, and UghK1 decided to continue saving up. The town of Kilton Peak was renamed to Edgewater to reflect the real life location. The towns of Edgewater and Argos began saving up, with Koribyte contributing 600 gold. While saving up for the nation, there was an argument between UghK1 and Koribyte. Koribyte, who had councillor rank in Edgewater, withdrew all of the gold and left the town to make his own, Gilford. Edgewater immediately went and attacked the town. Eventually, it was decided that Koribyte would pay UghK1 the gold back as well as some reparations.
