Cascadian Confederation

Cascade Confederation

Culture: West coast canadian/american mix due to intermingling between the regions of western north america due to the ‘dark timesʼ.

Politics: Ruling junta is cascadian unification movement, the head and president is a former general who acted as a leader during the dark times (collapse of usa, he rallied both civilian and seperate military elements along with strong backing from the populist movement to secure the borders of the states of the cascadian confederation. Government was aided by china significantly in the form of aid supplies and investment in the local bank of cascadia (formed after state seizure of all fomer usa banking assets, or what was left thereof) To a lesser extent the state also recived support from Japan due to possible commercial ventures. The prime minister is a former CIA chief from Siattle who used her connections to governments and spy agencies in asia to gain eastern support for the fledgling Cascadian Confederation.

Economics: Main trade is agricultural sector and then the technology service sector. While reduced by 35% from the ‘dark timesʼ it still makes up about 79% of the countryʼs GDP. Heavy development has been put into the northern regions around Malheur.Making up 79% of the GDP the agricultural sector is by far the most important. The technology services sector makes up aprox. 16% of GDP, the remaining 5% are a mix of other sectors of development. The Cascadian Confederation has a GDP of aprox. fUS$671 billion Dollars which today is aprox. $428 billion standard dollars. (fUS$= former American dollar; the same monetary system still managed to exist in parts of post dark times, and therefore while not being owned by the USA or any other state many banks and financial services adopted the american dollar into a new ‘Dollar Standardʼ outside of the political realm, thus making the standard dollar independent and usable across north america where their institutions have a presence.)

Demographics: Religion: No state Religion. (Each State in the Confederation makes their own laws) The confederation in total has a population demographic of aprox. 30% Atheist 40% Christianity (sub divided therein) 13% Islam 9% Hinduism 6% Buddhist 1% Judaism 1% Other/Undeclared Population: Aprox. 14,300,000 Government: The Cascadian Confederationʼs government system is run on the semi-presidential system developped by the French. President /                       / Prime minister Parliament /                  /    Senate                /- Regional State Senates Some States of the Cascadian Confederation have open democratic elections, whereas some  others (usualy military base districts) have a one party system to represent their state in the Confederation with backing from the Cascadian National Army command structure, to show military political collusion. (And the Generals position as President eh? Heh) The Cascadian National Army (CNA) has equipment mainly supplied by the automated factories in china using russian-chinese joint project blueprints. The main weapon of the CNA is the AK-13C. Due to the location of the Cascadian confederation; the air force is quite significant in size and capabilities; constantly improved with the aid of the technology sector of our Great State. The military also follows a defencive doctrine, of new warfare born out of the ‘dark timesʼ now refered to as Modern Entrenchment warfare. The military focuses on entrenchment and defence of the state while keeping a friendly posture in relation to neighboring states.

Foreign Policy: The Cascadian Confederationʼs current government is focusing on a neutral foreign policy but a friendly focus. For example with great contracts being signed between the Confederation and The Republic of Arizona. Due to our partnerships locally in Western North America and abroad in China and the East, our policy is to focus on trade between our regional and international neighbors.
