Evergreen Republic: Difference between revisions

The '''Evergreen Republic''' ('''E.R.'''), commonly known as '''Evergreen''' or less often as '''The Republic''', is a country and sovereign state primarily located in [[North America (Continent)|North America]], centered in the Pacific Northwest. It currently consists of 20 federated provinces and some other minor possessions. The Evergreen borders several large nations in North America, spanning several regions with many exclaves and enclaves, as well as the three Asian provinces of [[Bhutan]], October Island, and the [[Malé (Maldives)|Maldives]]. With a population of nearly 269 people as of 28 March 2022, spread across 70 towns, it is one of the most influential nations in North America. The federal capital is shared between [[Cascadia|Astoria]]'','' [[Seattle]], and [[Olympia]], all located within the Pacific Northwest.

On December 11th, 2018, the players [[List of all Staff|RangerMK01]], [[Olympia|Banthos]], [[Cascadia|Kathulos]], and [[Cascadia|ThinkGeek]] established the [[Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]], in order to create a peaceful, democratic nation in the Pacific Northwest. With the capital being located in the town of Astoria, Oregon, Cascadia quickly expanded throughout the region, eventually controlling the entirety of the Canadian and American Pacific coastline. In June 2019, Cascadia briefly admitted the province of New York, gaining a large tract of land on the Eastern Seaboard. However, with numerous [[New York Riots|incidents]] occurring, Cascadia quickly collapsed back to the northwest. Entering the new year of 2020, under the Presidency of [[EstiQT|Estonian_Mapping]] ''(now EstiQT)'', Cascadia appeared to be restabilizing and entering a new period of prosperity; however due to multiple scandals and internal instability, many major core provinces such as [[The Republic of the Rio Grande|Washington]] ended up seceding from the Republic; and due to alleged mass [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_backsliding democratic backsliding] and corruption within the government, on February 9, 2022 the [[Salish Confederation]] was established in Wenatchee, growing ever prevalent within the region; with the goal of bringing about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy direct democracy] with pure representation of the people in governance; which ended up triggering the [[Cascadian Civil War]] which, despite the name, did not involve Cascadia directly. The Salish Confederation and Republic of Cascadia peacefully co-existed, both with their own highs and lows, however their relationship gradually began to mend. On 20 February 2021, the Pacific Pact was established as an alliance of pacific nations; and on 14 February 2022, after two weeks of discussions between the two governments, the Evergreen Republic was formally established and the Republic of Cascadia and Salish Confederation both dissolved.
