Nova:Jefferson
The State of Jefferson is a proud nation located in Northwest America. Although it is a new nation on the server, it has a booming market industry, active citizenry, and established diplomatic relations with many nations in the area.
History
Founding
The State of Jefferson was founded in February of 2020 when the political issues of the northern states caused Lakeview's natives to believe that their values would be better represented by another government. For a brief period, the town of Lakeview was ruled as an independent town, sacrificing travel mobility for governmental independence. During this period BigChungaBunga, SirClarke, and CaptnClutch7810 mined and established stores to fund the founding of The State of Jefferson.
Rapid Expansion
From February through Mid-April, the state of Jefferson entered a period of rapid expansion. The capitol quintupled in size, the nation added 6 new towns and grew in members from 3 to over 50 residents.
Sunset Confederacy
In February 2020, due to harassment by several nations in the area, a proposal was made to form a defensive alliance within nations on the west coast. After considerable discussion, the nations of Jefferson, Haida, RoughandReady, Salish, California, and North California elected to form the Sunset Confederacy. Their mission was to promote unity throughout the west through defensive force and diplomacy. Originally, it was thought the Pacific Republic would soon be part of the Sunset Confederacy. However, they decided to abstain from membership. Later on, Glacier Bay joined the Sunset Confederacy.
Rio Grande - Sunset Confederacy War
Soon after the Sunset Confederacy was formed it declared war on the nations in the Rio Grande. Jefferson warriors were involved in all the key battles including the Battle for Parliament in Salish, the Battle for LA in California, and the Battle for Barren in Jefferson. As one of the most active nations in the Sunset Confederacy, a Jefferson military has been formed and has taken defensive actions against the Rio aggressors. The war ended in a Rio Grande victory, though no territory was lost.
