Cascadia

The Representative Democratic Republic of Greater Cascadia, or "Cascadia" for short is a country that split off from Merica in 2021. It consists of Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. It has a population of roughly 23 Million people (as of 2032), and a land area of 1,467,806mi² (3,801,600km²).

Cascadia is more technologically and more scientifically advanced than Merica, because there are no restraints from Fascism.

Government
Cascadia is a Democracy. More specifically, a Representative Democracy. They have 4 year presidential terms.

Independence Movement
In 2004, the Cascadian Independence Movement, or CIM, was founded. It really did not gain much traction, but started to take off in early 2016. People who supported the CIM knew that dark times were upon them if Donald Trump won.

Cascadian Revolution
In 2017, the Dark Ages of America begun. The country renamed to Merica, and everyday, Merica became more and more fascist. The Cascadians, obviously not happy with this, decided to rebel, and form their own nation. Merica, with their soldiers not in formation 96% of the time, we're outplayed very easily by the more orderly Cascadians. In 2021, the Treaty of Seattle was signed, giving the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska to Cascadia.

Canadian Lands
In 2025, while Merica was invading Canada and Mexico due to states succeeding, Canada, to ensure the safety of the Canadian people, gave British Columbia and Yukon to Cascadia, and released Nunavut.

Russian Relations
Between 2022 and 2034, Cascadia has been improving relations with Russia, despite being a different government type. The Juneau Act of 2026 gave Cascadia all forms of protection from Merica. Cascadia joined Russia's alliance, the International Coalition, in 2033. This would eventually lead to the Russo-Merican War in 2034.

The People
As mentioned previously, the people and the nation have better technology than Merica. Fascism tends to limit technological advancing for the civilians, and only the government. However, democracy benefits both the citizens and the government. This results in less fear and benefits Cascadia’s economy.

Administrative Division
Cascadia is divided into 37 counties, some being larger than others. However, unofficially, there is a level above it, where the old states and provinces of Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were. So some may say they are from "Vancouver, Clark, Washington, Cascadia." However, most would say "Vancouver, Clark, Cascadia."
