The Federal Republic of Cascadia, commonly known as Cascadia is a country located in northwest Altaris. It consists of PLACEHOLDER provinces and PLACEHOLDER outlying islands. It 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.
