Welcome wonderful readers. Thanks for being here.
Last week and yesterday I was discussing people who weren’t covered much in the recently released novelization of the events surrounding our First Contact, “Kusha”.
Today I will switch gears a little and we’ll start discussing Cascadia. The concluding novel in the Max Gavaskar series (The Mother of the Galaxy) will be out in a few months so I though I’d start laying the background for that. This final book details the events surrounding the Galactic War and it’s “emotional” conclusion.
Some of the more dramatic events of that time took place in Cascadia so for the next few posts I’ll give you some history and background on the Earth nation of Cascadia.
During the “Decade of Disasters” from 2040 to 2050 the western part of North America was particularly hit with a series of natural disasters. Most of the great cities of that area were wiped out. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver, all gone. Nothing left but rubble. The people from those cities were all forced to move to the Eastern Seaboard as refugees.
The refugee problem led to the eventual collapse of the new American Government.
Back in the Northwest a few self reliant individualists decided to stay and form a new nation. Centered around the remains of Portland Oregon and around the Trail smelter in British Columbia and around the Columbia River Basin people gathered in communities and they formed Cascadia. They renamed the river and declared their independence from the new world government that was forming around the new Green Bible. They maintain their independence to this day.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
