Greetings famous readers. Thanks for being here.
We are talking Cascadia here.
The Cascadians became independent from the Greenies and the LC (or Leadership Council) very early on in recent Earth history. The western portion of North America was devastated by natural disasters in the late twenty-first century and early twenty-second.
There were several great cities along the Pacific coast that were destroyed by storms, tsunamis and earthquakes. Refugees from these cities flocked to the rest of the continent and rioting and looting followed them, eventually bringing down the government of the country that existed there at the time. I believe it was called a United States.
Those who stayed in the west coast formed a new nation and a new paradigm. It was an area rich in natural resources and that made the Cascadian’s task much easier. Early leadership in Cascadia understood that they had to maintain some of their infrastructure. They wanted to keep some of the things modern society had built but also wanted to get rid of some of the things that brought down the old culture.
Jon McCall was instrumental in keeping the Trail smelter going. He and a group of people, often called the Founding Family, made plans to remove most of the dams on the newly renamed Cascade River and replacing them with a series of locks, making the river navigable all the way to the smelter.
A series of dams on the Kootnee River were kept up to provide power for the operation of the smelter. In this way Cascadia had an industry and an industry that provided for them a wide range of metals and building materials.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
