The Federal Republic of Cascadia, commonly known as Cascadia is a country located in northwest Altaris. It consists of 12 states and 3 territoriesIt shares land borders with Nordmarken to the east and Wattenmeer to the south and has maritime borders with Khozhlod to the west. The national capital and largest city of Cascadia is Juneau.

Cascadia was first settled by humans during the neolithic period, however it remained sparsely populated until the middle ages except for the southeast which was settled by early Germanic tribes. During the middle ages, colonists from the Kingdom of Great Mercia began to settle along the north and west coasts of Cascadia, and soon formed fledging settlements and colonies, Over time, the Mercian colonies grew and became economically productive, settling further and further inland. During the 18th century, a quarrel over political representation and economic policy led to a revolution against the Mercian authorities. After the revolution, Cascadia became independent, forming its own federal republic. Continuing the trend of expansion, the new Cascadian republic continued to settle and expand inland, coming into occasional conflict with the Native Cascadian tribes which already resided in the mountain and taiga.

Government and politics

Main articles: Government of Cascadia and Politics of Cascadia

Cascadia is a federal constitutional republic of 12 states and 3 territories. It is one of the world's oldest surviving federations, in which power is divided between the federal and the provincial and territorial governments. Cascadia is a representative democracy in which "majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law".

The Cascadian constitution serves as the country's supreme legal document, establishing the structure and responsibility of the federal government and its relationship with the individual states.

Ever since the early 20th century with the election of President William A. Smith, Cascadia has operated under what some scholars call a "loose dominant-party system" where the generally right wing Federalist Party has dominated elections, both presidential and legislative, with brief interludes of electoral failure. In the current Cascadian political culture, the Federalist Party is dominant, its respective factions vying for power, with the left-wing National Democratic Party and progressive Farmer–Labor Party in opposition.

Federal government

The federal government is separated into three branches:

• Legislature: the bicameral Congress, comprising the Senate and the House of Delegates.
• Executive: the president and his cabinet.
• Judiciary: The Supreme Court of Cascadia and other federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the president with approval from the Congress.

In the Senate (the upper house), there are 126 senators: ten from each of the 12 states and 2 from the 3 territories. The House of Delegates has 650 members elected from single-member electoral divisions, commonly called "delegacies" or "seats", allocated to the states on the basis of population, each of which roughly contains 200,000 people. Elections for both chambers are normally held every three years simultaneously; senators have overlapping six-year terms.

Executive power is wielded by the President who is elected for a 5-year term with the possibility of re-election for a second consecutive term. The current president is Thomas Wilson. The president appoints cabinet members who assist in governance.

The Supreme Court, led by the chief justice of Cascadia, has nine members, who serve for life. They are appointed by the sitting President when a vacancy becomes available.

States and territories

Each of the 12 states hold jurisdiction over a geographic territory, where it shares sovereignty with the federal government. They are subdivided into counties, and further divided into municipalities.

Citizenship is granted at birth in all states and territories.

Cascadia observes limited tribal sovereignty of the Cascadian Indigenous nations.
