Wenatchee
Early History
Wenatchee was founded by Vorobyevite who is a former citizen of Port Angeles, with the idea of Democracy at its core. With a band of 5 other players, they set out on an expedition to the Cascade mountain range, and plotted the rough area of where the town would be established.
Work began on the Cascade Range Terraforming Project, where the foundation for Pybus Market was laid. Later on within the founding week, the George Sellar bridge was constructed, connecting the city to the eastern half of the Columbia, opening up to expansion into Eastern Washington State. Residential zones began construction in East Wenatchee the following week, with apartment style housing being built.
Following their succession from Cascadia, Wenatchee is now the Capital of the Salish Federation.
Conflicts
Wenatchee's expansion was rapid, growing well over 120 chunks in the first week, which upset some of it's neighbors. Walla Walla, Washington expressed its concern over Wenatchee's rapid expansion, and warned that if it crossed over an old gravel road on the east side of the Columbia River, that Washington would secede from Cascadia in a Civil War in order to protect what Washington claimed as their own land. This dispute ended quietly, and no further mention has been said after Washington left Cascadia.
Delegate System
Wenatchee has a sub-government alongside the Salish Federation government. Citizens of Wenatchee invited to join the role of a Delegate after reaching activity for seven days, or by the Executive Delegate directly granting the role of Delegate to citizens who show particular talent. The Delegate role gives each citizen that invested their time and effort into Wenatchee a way to shape the town as a group. Delegates vote for an Executive Delegate every month, who represents their interests as a whole, and proposes them to the Mayor. Alongside this, there are several elected Titles that Delegates can campaign for that allows certain privileges and responsibilities. Titleholders may only hold two titles at most. The Mayor, Executive Delegate, and all Delegates vote in ballots posted every week, ranging from amendments to existing rules, to changes within the city, and new laws.
Salish Federation
On the 9th of February, 2020, Vorobyevite, and other towns sympathetic to the cause had communications discussing their distaste with the Cascadian government, leaked by KingBerman of Cascadia. Cascadia has accused the newly formed Salish Federation of embezzling funds from Cascadia, as they did with Pacific Republic, which has been proven false by Estonian_Mapping themselves saying that payments were gifts, and not loans requiring payments back. What followed was a furious response from an already weakened Cascadia, dealt blows from Washington and Ontario leaving the union. The Salish Federation leaders are to be put on trial on 2/11/20, which none plan to attend, viewing it as nothing but a sham only to incriminate those who wanted freedom from Cascadia's fading democracy.
