Nationalist California/Revolutionary California/California Republic

California is a major power and one of the key aggressors and belligerents in the Coalition Wars. It used heavy militarism to become the dominant power in Northern California, and is noted by historians for is quick emergence from a small militant state to one of the larger nations on the continent.

When the government of California officially gained independence from the US in 2110, it quickly found itself being ripped apart by the constant struggle between different economic classes, races, and even people in different regions of the country. California found itself balkanized, and by the late 2120s, it's government had effectively dissolved.

One of the warring factions, who controlled territory in San Francisco, Redding, and Sacramento, fought a long and brutal military campaign, eventually gained near total control of the northern part of the former state. in 2137, the newly proclaimed National Republic of California, or Nationalist California, launched an offensive against the Southwestern Republic, who at the time controlled nearly all of Southwest USA. It seemed like it would be an easy victory for the Southwest, but due to California's total militarism and the strategic minds of their generals, California had taken Los Angeles, Los Vegas and Salt Lake City in under a week. Eventually, the UN decided to step in and pushed the Californian forces back to a relatively stable border before the war turned into a stalemate, and a cease fire was agreed on.

California made an unlikely alliance with the Cascadian Empire and together, they conquered a large portion of the northwestern United States.

California boasted an technocracy, where senators were put into power based on automatically appointed merit, rather than through an election. Though in the beginning, the government experienced minimal corruption, when the battle lines between the Coalition of Free States and the Nationalist Imperium of America were being drawn, California's senators took sides. Eventually, the NIA sympathizers gained a majority in the senate, kicking all CFS sympathetic representatives out. One man, E J Rodriguez, knowing his power would be more important than his voice, decided to fake support for the NIA.

In early 2062, the government found out that E J Rodriguez had sympathies for the CFS, sent for his arrest. He was serving as the general of the third army at the time, and hearing of the news, made his army, the command staff of whom were personally loyal to him, blockade the coastal cities of California from the rest of the country, where the majority of the military was. He then called for the overthrow of the government, and every city in California was overtaken by mobs of revolutionaries. The span of uprisings in the Coastal part of California took a mere 5 hours, and the revolution was famously called the five hour revolution. Thirteen Days later, Rodriguez dealt a killing blow to the nationalist forces at the Battle of Great Falls. The remaining military and former government fled to the State of Adolf, seeking reinforcements.

California, now Revolutionary California, demanded that the State of Adolf extradite the nationalists. When that was refused, they demanded that the Iowan Federation grant them passage to invade the State of Adolf. That demand was too refused, and California declared war on Iowa, using their cooperation with the NIA as justification. This sparked a chain of events which ended up in the CFS and NIA engaging in a state of total war.

California, under Rodriguez, fought a slow and grueling war through the fields of the Midwest against the NIA. Their participation in the war got them a seat in the Seattle Conference, where the Seattle Declaration was signed, dissolving the NIA and establishing the Union of North America.

California is officially an Intellectualist Republic, and the College of the Republic is now held in check by an elected assembly.

California announces the "humanity reform". The government will be in total control with the most intelligent people being the ones who make it in, with four kinds of tests determining who is in power. five untouchable amendments exist, right to free speech, right to fair trial, right to decisions unlisted in the constitution or law, right to privacy, and an amendment against corruption. Other than those amendments and the power distribution process, all power is in a strong, FEDERAL government, run by objective intellectuals, for isn't that how it is supposed to be? A government run by intelligence, in order to sustain the only thing that truly matters, scientific and humanitarian advancements? We do not need to be overrun by the EU. There is no master race, only humanity itself, the master species. WE are the gods of this world.
