Greetings West-coast brothers. In the spirit of friendship, and peace, we were hoping that your two nations would sign a Non-Aggression Pact with us. Our borders leave from for possible tensions to arise, and we wish to make it clear that we have nothing but the purest intentions in the region.

We harbour no aggressive intentions against Cascadia, and accept a pact of non-aggression.
 

The Revolt

The international nightmare that struck the Earth seemed to have united the people of Cascadia with the quickly strung together coagulation of American and Canadian armed forces that rose in defense of the region. This "Cascadian Defense Force" provided security for the hapless citizenry for quite the period of time; long enough for the established military junta to become a societal norm for the Cascadian people. However, the despotism of the Junta's rule became more apparent as the rest of the world seemed to normalize itself around Cascadia at an alarmingly successful rate.

The public soon became thoroughly disgusted with the military government, and made preparations to petition and replace it with something more congenial to themselves. Needless to say, the military did not take too the petitions or public outcry against the autocracy in stride, and refused to hear it's people's woes. Riots began in Anchorage, Vancouver and Portland, but the military was quick to disperse the protesters. It was in Seattle that the revolt began.

In 2157, a peaceful procession in protest to the recently administrated forced curfew on the city caught the attention of the local Marshall in charge of the region. The Marshall sent several companies of his soldiers to disperse the assembled, who summarily refused to desist. A struggle broke out between some of the protesters and the soldiers, and shots were fired. When the crowd cleared, several lay dead on the streets. As the soldiers stood, staring at the murder they committed, the crowd resurfaced; double in number. They mobbed the soldiers as more shots rang out. The crowd dispersed again, though this time, the soldiers lay beaten on the ground and stripped of their weaponry. The revolt had begun.

We'll accept the resumption of formal non-aggression between our state with yours too. We decline any free trade deal, however.
 


After the 2028 great Crash, the Californian economy, already weakkened by its huge debt, crashed, and the growing unrest was only exarcebated by the growing power of the megacorps ans their detachment from the populace. When in 2032 the Congress passed a law allowings megacorps to possess armed forces, the Californians judged it was enough and broke up from the Union in the same year with Proposal 93.

In the following decades, California remained an isle of democracy but was severely unstabilized by the few attempts of the federal governement to reoccuppy california and by the problems affecting the rest of the world because its economy based on exports and high tech found fewer and fewer markets in a collasping world.

The deathblow came with the Plague that devastated Los Angeles and coincided with the collapse of the region's water supplies that came from Canada. The result was the death of over 30 million Californians in the plague and famine that ensued and by that time everyone thought that even California would come to collapse and southern California was almost entirely abandoned, the governement only retaining control over the Bay Area and Central Valley

But in 2078 came a new hope. Akira Everard, a visionary governor, came into power. She assumed emergency powers, doing her best to save what could be. Under her supervision, the governement instaured a series of economic and political reforms such as limitations of megacorps' powers, the creation of a Army to defend the state and restore control of California, the nationalisation of most critical infrastructure (water, energy, communications, transports, research and heavy industry) and the dedication of about half of the population to farming the fertile lands of the Central valley. These reforms enabled the Republic of California to survive through that period of collapse, but not without bringing about total changes to Californian society. At the death of Akira Everard in 2123, total democracy was reestablished.

Through the 21rst century, California remained one of the most stable states in the world. It slowly expanded back into the wastelands of Southern California and of the Sierra Nevada and suceeded in maintaining a relatilvely high technological level due to the (relative) preservation of the Silicon Valley and maneged to build from scratch a self-suficient agriculture and economy. Today's California, under governor Ashley Shepard's benevolent rule, possesses one of the world's largest industries, technological level and air force due to the policy of reconstruction conducted by its leaders and vies to rebuild the West Coast -under its own terms-. However, it is widely feared nowadays that the country's wealth and stability might attract its envious neighbours.

We worry that Free-Trade will harm our economy, more than help it. We can set up regular trade relations, and see where that takes us.
 
From Bavaria
To France

We would like to arrange for an exchange of technical-military specialists. French officers and tactics have proven their efficacy in combat against conventionally superior forces, while Bavarian forces are untested and unproven in the task of defending their national homelands. However, we possess technical advantages in technology and equipment that could provide French soldiery with greater capabilities in promoting their national sovereignty. Our weaknesses can be overcome through cooperation and training.

To Italy

Welcome to the Technocratic Ecumene! Want any technical assistance?

To the Celtic Union

We're interested in partnering with the Celtic Union to develop North Sea natural gas reserves and provide cheap, clean, efficient power to both our nations.

Signed Ashley Shepard, Governor of the Republic of California
 
Sorry for the double post just forgot on clause of the treaty of Oakland:
Art 5: Both nations agre on a regular trade basis of raw materials (ore, timber) from Cascadia in exchange for agricutural product and manufactured goods from California
 
From France
To Bavaria


No.

Bavarians are the last people in Europe we'd accept military advice from.

From the Celtic Union
To Bavaria


We would be thrilled to see Bavarian investment in our natural gas reserves; if Bavaria can provide an annual package of EP for such an expansion, we would give your country the right to first refusal for our exports. However, this is conditional on Bavaria being the biggest contributor - should another power provide us with more investment, we must return them with the right to first refusal instead.

OOC: I believe you mean Lombardy, Shadowbound - Italy is a state to cicero's south.

orders soon, NBA distracted me
 
I'm hoping a good number of people get their orders in before I wake up tomorrow, which is the deadline. Approximately 10 hours remaining.
 
Orders are in, but it would be nice to see the color of a nation attached to their stats for easy checking.
