Nevada(7/7): Nevada welcoming committee would include multiple senators and would feature elections of their representatives for the next 6 years. This would likely excite residents, and all of them were invited to the inauguration. Arizona(7/7): The long awaited Arizona annexation brought even the President, Daniel Marxon, to arrive at the welcoming ball in the capital. As with Nevada as well, the elections that were long anticipated took place here.

Updated. Some things to keep in mind: I changed the font of the names. If you don't like the color of your nation, let me know. Dillon1102: I need to see a DoE or i'll have to take you off the map. We will hold elections at some point in February once everything is sorted out. We will begin the random event rolls tonight or tomorrow. That's all I needed!

Private Letter to Texas: Dear Governor Sparks, Sir; It is rained upon the Californians that we would one day bring justice; that the California Republic would uphold exactly that: Justice. My intentions may not be clear, but let assurance rain as the California Republic, blessed by the one God, is to send, at full dispatch, men to the aid of the Independent Republic of Texas, one state to another, I call in the name of victory, and shall sing the words "Glory, Glory, Halleluiah" until I lie dead. Forty-five thousand men will be sent, with reinforcements rising to five-thousand, to the region of New Mexico in the hopes of liberation and long-lasting prosperity for all. In these fortunate events, men will not arise an inch east of the city of Santa Fe, and I leave you my oath that these men may never surrender or retreat, in the name of the California Republic as well as Texas. And, most importantly, please, Remember the Alamo! Sincerely, Daniel Marxon President of the California Republic Post Script: Through my blood runs the history of the mission known as The Alamo, through the man known as James Bonham. I will be sure to avenge the Texans to this very day as I feel the Texian heart inside my own chest. Classified: Daniel Marxon would then appoint his best soldier, James McCarthy, as Commander-in-chief of all forces. At age 17, McCarthy is also the ad-interim Vice President of California. McCarthy would quickly march 45,000 soldiers and 1,500 M1A2 Tanks on there way towards the border, however would halt once almost in range. McCarthy would grab a slip of paper and scribble a note to the Plains Federation: Dear Plains Federation, I don't know where you got all the military capabilities while not even a recognized nation, much less why you think you have authority of Texas, but I do have something to tell you: You can't be King if there is nobody to rule over. Attacking the people and killing them will make your occupation worthless. Face the facts that Texans will never surrender. They are stubborn and want their way; Possibly this is a weakness of theirs, or possibly it is another strength. Oh, why so rude! I clearly forgot to introduce myself. I am James McCarthy, the man who is going to be kicking your backside all of the way to Saint Petersburg. Nice to finally come in contact, James McCarthy Commander of the Californian Forces A Cailfornian riding a horse would ride over to the Plains side to deliver the note. The horse was a tip to the old way William Travis would deliver messages out of the Alamo. Only this time, the end may go differently. McCarthy and his troops would then prepare.

To be added in the near-complete update, along with an update of all nations and protectorates.

Copy that. It'll be added in a timely fashion.

"The Commonwealth finds this insulting and horrifying, and will not recognize unless some statements are cleared up."

Ok, next update is basically done just have to post it, likely tonight.

Would it be appropriate for a OOC thread dedicated to this war to be posted?

To: The Men of Spain, Germany, and The South East Tribes (OOC: Without knowledge of the letter being sent to the others) From: President Maurice J. Tobin of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has for a long time been a neutral nation, and as you look at the position in which our nation is in, it seems as if our decision-making has been rather worthwhile. Now, I may assure you that I am not Calvin Coolidge. I am Maurice J. Tobin, and I will make decisions differently in the Commonwealth than Coolidge has. This "quarrel" has now turned into a major military engagement that the Commonwealth refuses to stand for, and it is on this day that we shall finally speak our doctrine. Currently, we have very intentions to join this conflict. We do not want to sound as if we hold your fate in our very palm, but I would like to ask why exactly we should not be shooting at you and your people, and instead choose a different enemy? Because of our occupation and annexation of the Less Antilles, the war in the area is indeed threatening our feeling of National Security. Please, let us bring this to a quick end by explaining the above to us. Thank you.

Public Nevada(6/7): Construction of the Hoover Dam was in good progress. It was time to hire people that would be the regular workers and scientists at the dam following it's completion. The government would hire only Nevada residents to do so. They would also hold elections for permanent senators and representatives. Arizona(6/7): Arizona would elect permanent senators to represent them in the senate. They would also be advised to join a political party. All employed residents would also be invited to the dance and buffet at the states new capitol building.

Massachusetts withdraws their recognition of the South East Tribes after the latest incident. However, they will not side until further notice.

Maurice J. Tobin Inaugural Speech, New Changes Coming BOSTON- Despite coming in at #2 in the actual election, democrat Maurice J. Tobin won the governor race through electoral college and helped seal an overall success for the Democratic party, with the standings in legislature looking like so- The Independents, as expected, completely disappeared from the government through a period of 3 years. Tobin's inaugural speech was as follows- "Thank you...thank you. I would first like to, um congratulate my opponents on their campaigns. I am proud to succeed Calvin Coolidge, and am even prouder...for my Democratic Party after a successful election! We have the majority and we will be sure to keep such a majority. I, while serving in the United States, recognized it to be essential to keep the values of that glorious nation in the Commonwealth. I believe it is time that we restore values that were once ours. Where shall we begin? We should begin by restoring the Imperial tradition of Massachusetts by moving soldiers into the Caribbean. This is important to my overall goal for the next 6 years. Massachusetts has a large tradition of having certain symbols that shape our state. My intentions are to return our flag to that of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, as well as our seal. We are the people. By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty. Thank you Massachusetts." The altering of the Massachusetts flag, seal, and soldier uniforms have angered many citizens, including most Harbor citizens. They believe it represents too much of the United Kingdom, the nation that mistreated their ancestors.

"We hope to have relations with both sides unless an all-out-war breaks out between the two which will force us to divide."

"As the same with your claims. I would like to discuss the Russian issue currently taking place, what do you think of that?"

(OOC: I need one more person to vote to break the Presidential tie-breaker. You don't even need to be in CNRP40!)

"So you only hope to claim the Greater Antilles?" OOC: Nations and territories in Lesser Antilles here.

"Personally, as long as you don't hit mainland, we can back your Cuban Expansion, so long as you have no plans of annexing the Lesser Antilles, which we are annexing."

Updated.

"So, I think it could be appropriate to discuss land expansion and our plans on that topic."

OOC: Anyone can vote. Voting will end in about 24 hours. Welcome to Your Local Voting Station Boston, Massachusetts November 21st Section 1: The Parties Republican Party: Republicans believe that everyone has the right to the same things: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They believe in States rights and in lowered taxes, as well as believing in keeping foreign influence on the nation to a minimum.. Democratic Party: The Democrats are essentially the opposites of the Republicans. Ideals include more authority in the federal government, higher taxes as well as more tax for the wealthy, and support foreign colonisation. This includes taking away the right to bear arms established by Coolidge. Harbor Party: People in the Harbor Party, called Harborcrats, believe that the United States of America needs to be reformed to not only what it once was, but to become greater. This also includes the belief that the Commonwealth should be based upon more American ideals, including but not limited to: The flag, seal, motto, beliefs, economics, and constitution. This essentially means they want to recreate the United States through expanding the borders and send the US into full reform. The party was founded a year ago by Malcolm Nichols and other American Enthusiasts. Section 2: President As recovered from the Boston Journal 3 days ago, a summary of the candidates: Section 3: Legislature And of these three parties could gain the majority this year, and any can drastically fall. It is important that all three parties have different ideals and positions to keep the ballot clear and your vote quick. Voting for the ideals of yourself and yourself only is required for a fair vote. Below is the parties and what year After Commonwealth Independence(ACI) they had majority in the past. Republican- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Democrat- 1 Harbor- None This could be the first year the Harbor Party gains the majority in the legislature, a major turn in events. Place your votes, folks! Note: Elected politicians will take office January 1st, 7 ACI.

Presidential Race Heats Up, Other Elections BOSTON- This year is an extremely unique one as it is the year of presidential elections. The elections coming up will largely determine the next 6 years in the Commonwealth. We are about to tell you exactly what you need to know about this years elections and who will receive the title "His Excellency" for the next 6 years, and maybe beyond. Republican Calvin Coolidge- GOP candidate Calvin Coolidge has been the leader for the last 6 years and is prepared to run for reelection. In these 6 years, Coolidge has expanded the military, created jobs, authorized the right to bear arms, increased standard of living, driven a revolutionary economy, and defeated the worst terrorist group in Massachusetts history. He is the George Washington of the Commonwealth and promises to remain the legend he clearly is. Democrat Maurice J. Tobin- Maurice J. Tobin has never held a position since the United States. He was a Massachusetts governor and US Secretary of Labor who supported the New Deal and was a liberal. He hopes that he is elected so he may finally put the Democrats into power. Harbor Candidate Malcolm Nichols- Malcolm Nichols is the leader of the Harbor Party and currently on the cabinet as Department of the Interior. As DI, he has successfully input American values into the Commonwealth, as well as making attempts to change the national flag and has gotten the US represented on the Massachusetts dollar. He is also a great speaker. This is also a big year as any of the three parties could win majority, and any of the three could fall hard.

Coolidge would quickly respond with a similar smile. "The honor is mine" Coolidge actually walked to the airport, and hoped Vela accepted this mode of transportation. If you do not mind, I would like to walk to the State House. It's not that far, and we may begin our meeting while taking in the sights."

Public Nevada(5/7): The next project was the reconstruction of the Hoover Dam. This would be the source of over half of Nevada's water, and would be the main reason Las Vegas would remain alive and well. The government would be sure to only hire citizens of Nevada to help create jobs. Arizona Territory(5/7): Arizona was now halfway to being annexed as a state as it is now known as the Territory of Arizona. This would mean a new Capitol Building would be needed. They would hire many members of the Territory to help construct it, which would also be the location of the statehood ceremony in the future.
