To the Moon and the Stars! The Cascadian Space Administration or The C.S.A. sent their first shuttle into space yesterday. Primarily funded by Stahlrim Corporation, this new age of space flight will help The Empire tremendously with technological research. The Shuttle modeled after the USAs 'Atlantis' is being piloted and crewed by prestigious members of the Imperial Air Force. Along for the ride are a few astrophysicists from Oregon State University. The shuttles mission is to study the feasibility of a Cascadian Space Station. The shuttle returns in late January.

With the outline of the new and improved imperial Navy finished and perfected the outline was released to the public. The Navies main directive was the territorial defense of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This was to be done through a large assortment of surface warships that must be able to carry a helicopter that can switch its active mission. Anywhere from troop deployment (LSD's), Submarine Search & Destroy, Anti-Surface Warfare, Search & Rescue (Frigates and Destroyers), or Minelaying (Corvettes).

British Columbia

 

Around midday the people of British Columbia would find the 3rd Corp of the Empire rolling down of Vancouver the streets in native design LAV-25s. A single column of twelve vehicles would make their way towards the British Columbia seat of government. At the foot of the steps the Prime Minister of British Columbia and Yukon was standing along with a small entourage. The Brigadier General attached to this corp strode over to the Prime Minister, handed him the official decree of Emperor Wymore, and shook his hand. The Prime Minister understood everything the Cascadians could do for B.C. and Yukon. With the the rest of third corp would spread throughout the region.

British Columbia & Yukon

 

The current integration of British Columbia and Yukon was going off quite smoothly. Currently the toughest challenge of the annexation was the difference in currency, a large majority of the population was not happy with the current CD to CMr which was 2:1. Most thought it was fair at 1:1 ratio for at least a time period of two weeks. The largest banks in Cascadia have already started to buy out smaller ones throughout the region, a major benefit of this was Cascadia forced a lower interest rate on large loans. All sales tax was removed and replaced with a small property tax of $80 per acre per year, while income tax was lowered to 12% of monthly income.

The annexation of British Columbia and Yukon had been going great without a hitch. Cascadian businesses were beginning to come into the region, Stahlrim Industries opened several large plants and factories in Southern Yukon and Northern British Columbia. Dutch Bros. began opening coffee shops everywhere, they started to look like how Starbucks looked. The Region was flourishing.

From British Columbia the 9th Corp would launch into Alaska to secure the state for Cascadia. The 17th Division would split into her Regiments, the first moving to secure the Far North Coasts, while the other would make its way to Fairbanks and build watchtowers around the city. The 18th Division, following suit of the 17th, also split into her Regiments, the first securing Anchorage, the other securing Juneau, in both cities the Regiments would secure major infrastructure points and would regulate traffic, as well as providing service as law enforcement.

Governors for Yukon and British Columbia have been voted into office recently. With this new addition into the regions work into the annexations of them will be able to continue much easier. Governors make it easier to open departments that can focus on the states much closer. While State governments were easy to begin, local governments have been lagging behind. Mayors and City Council members for the multitude of cities and towns throughout the states. Once these offices are filled they will be able to fill the vacancies in city departments that are extremely important in Cascadia. Local government is a very key point and one that will be completed soon.

In the States of Yukon and British Columbia local elections have recently been completed. This would be completely beneficial to the monarchy because one of the major points of Cascadia would have to be its focus on local government and how it connects to the citizens easier. This has allowed issues on a much smaller scale to answered and fixed by government official. State parks throughout Yukon and British Columbia, many of these would be the national parks that existed when Canada was the ruling power over these territories.

After a multitude of surveys were conducted, corporations from Cascadia would begin heavy mining mainly in the state of Yukon. Mining for multiple different resources such as, gold, zinc, and silver. In Northern Yukon oil wells would be constructed and begin pumping out the dark liquid. As Cascadia was mainly a Hydro-Electric nation a lot of this oil wealth would be sold to other nations for a premium. In British Columbia mainly the same process would begin but downed back to a lesser scale.

With the hostilities with Japan over Cascadia could finally restart her annexation of Alaska. To begin with every corp currently operating within Alaska would return to their home bases, with no threat of war they were not needed there. The 17th would regroup with of both her regiments before making its way to Anchorage where they would replace the 18th Division, they would regroup in Juneau. The naval units in the Prince William Sound would head to Anchorage and take up any free dock space.

As the annexation of British Columbia and the Yukon was being finished up military forces in the region would return to their normal bases. The restart of the mining industry was off to a great start, they had already uncovered hundreds of tons of minerals and other important things. Gasoline would drop to an all time low, as would lumber and metals. The regions were prospering and this was only the beginning.

In Anchorage a new Naval Station would begin construction. Its main use would be North Pacific and Arctic Security, as the Coast Guard is run through the Imperial Navy. Elections would take place to find out who would represent Alaska in the Cascadian Senate.

A special ceremony took place at the Imperial Palace in the Capital for the renaming of three key ships that took part in the Alaska Crisis. These ships stood honour by no bounds and will now be recognized with a renaming to something that fits them better. The CNS Olympia shall be renamed the CNS Director, for her leadership capabilities in the most stressful of times. The CNS Corvallis is to be renamed CNS Californian, for her honour bound sacrifices to the Navy. Finally, The CNS Springfield will henceforth be called the CNS Antasija for her resilience and comradeship. These ships will be the new lead ships at our new Naval Station Anchorage.

In effort alongside the new Naval Base, defenses would begin a build up in major cities. Anti-ship missiles such as Harpoons and Exocet launchers would be placed in strategic locations throughout Juneau and Anchorage, as well as the tips of the Kenai Peninsula. A large border wall would begin construction on the border of Alaska and unincorporated territory. The wall would 5 metres thick and a 10 metres high, once every kilometre along the wall you would see a watchtower constructed that is 30 metres tall. At the top you would find Sidewinder rocket launchers, alongside TOW launchers. A platoon of Alaskan National Guardsmen would be in charge of every five kilometers with Companies in charge of every 20 miles.

The Northlands is glad to see our Cascadian allies ensure stability in North America and take the initiative in the wake of the Californian collapse. We are willing to assist in providing any aid that should be necessary for the well being of the northern Californian peoples.

Army

 

Recent Royal Cascadian Army movements and exercises in Western Montana lead experts to believe another annexation is on the way. This is following the recently reactivated 32nd Corps Army Exercise Sunstone, which saw the training of the Corp in Mountain Warfare. Analysts also point out to the Terrorism Warfare conducted in Western Montana, which left the small nation destabilized. After this occurred Billions in funds were given to Montana to help rebuild itself. But a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that there will be no further elections during the reign of Emperor Wymore.
