Dillon1102 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon1102 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 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.

Dillon1102 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

Dillon1102 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 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.

Dillon1102 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 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. OOC 4 of 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon1102 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 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.

Dillon1102 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 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. 6 of 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dillon1102 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 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.
