The nation features giant landscapes of mountains to the west and more warm, wet regions to the east. The nation can be divided into two political districts, the east and the west.
Eastern District

Western District

Economy
NWT's follows communist economic principles, although participating in a pseudo-capitalist system as required by the shop system. They achieve this by having a robust welfare system, entitling every town to 100 gold after 2 weeks. Their economy relies on fishing and their nation shop, both of which are new and rapidly growing industries within the nation. Currently, their economy is quite small. Their are no major international stores located in NWT. Their are a large array of local shops around different towns, although there is not much of a market for embassy plots. A lot of monetary resources come from mining in the western portions of the country, while fishing in the east.
Government
More in the NWT constitution
The government consists of the representatives, elected every month, that then elect two of themselves to become the prime minister and the speaker of the house for that month. The prime minister then selects half the number of the representatives, minus one, to be their cabinet ministers for that month. The prime minister finally decides what role the CM will fulfill; Economy, defense, interior, and others are popular picks. The speaker of the house will throughout the month assemble the representatives to discuss a topic and come to a consensus on how the government should proceed on that topic.
History
Pre-History
NWT was originally the territory under the jurisdiction of the Cascadian Communist Party (CCP), (traditionally the former far north of Cascadia), which advocated for Cascadian politics to take a more left-wing turn economically, increasing welfare and extending benefits for citizens and mayors.
Foundation
NWT seceded peacefully on good terms with Cascadia on October 2nd, 2024. For the next couple of weeks, NWT acted peacefully, signing multiple non-aggression pacts with other nations. These included Cascadia, Vermont, and Ontario. Relations were good, and NWT was gaining towns very fast.
Cascadian War (Ongoing)
After Cascadia created the town Ythan_Adevir close to Castle John, the most populated city in NWT, tensions heated up as NWT asked for this town to be moved further south as it blocks a road that was poised to be used for transport by NWT citizens and as a place for towns to be founded upon. The Cascadian Settlers declined this offer, which caused NWT to enter war with Cascadia to ensure the safety of their claims. Since this war began, 2 more illegal townships created by Cascadia have been settled in the NWT, "Error" and "Beaver_Lake". Due to this war, Prime Minister RuffWoof resigned and the founders were put in place to run the country until a worthy candidate was selected. Eventually, TheSnowic was elected as Prime Minister for the month of November. After this, NWT briefly joined the Californian PSA meganation before later leaving and joining the Arctic Pact alliance due to right-wing ideology being heavily promoted in the nation.
