The California Republic was a partially recognized state which won independence from Mexico in 1846, and existed for only a month before becoming part of the United States of America. Following the downfall of the United States, California sat independent and in anarchy for a decade before finally declaring it's existence, once again, today as the California Republic. The Republic is built upon many things, and many ideals, and the recently elected president is the heroic Gerald Herald, former commander of separatist forces in California. California is in great hands with this glorious president, and the entire government below him.

California Federal Government would begin internal actions, and would also work on a letter to send internationally recognizing others existence and requesting recognition from them.

California Republic President Gerald Herald's most recent address came from an electronic announcement posted on the government website, in which he addressed the recent rumors circulating a Trade Committee or Federation. The rumors came after a letter meant to be for the Plains Federation was leaked all over the nation. The letter stated the following.
 
"Dear Plains,
 
I believe that our nations, the Plains Federation and the California Republic, could begin to work together in a trading aspect and possibly form a Trade Committee. Please respond telling us what you think.
 
Sincerely,
Gerald Herald"
 
Whether the letter was actually sent was answered by Herald in the address when he said that the letter was denied by an unnamed representative from Southern California. He stated that the idea has floated around the government and that the leaked letter was legitimate, however after it was leaked it was not sent. He did state that the idea is still a possibility, and in fact they are considering drawing a meeting with many other nations. He then gave a farewell and a hail the bear, and ended the recording.

The first major action of The World Trade Committee came Thursday as the first capital and headquarters of the committee was decided to be set on Alcatraz Island. The old buildings are to be town down and a new, modern headquarters will be constructed.
Alcatraz was the former base of one of the worlds major prisons, especially during the 20th century. In the late 20th century, however, the harsh prison was closed down and the isle remained abandoned for decades. After a while, the island was bought out and was turned into a museum. Now, the island is about to be transformed again into the headquarters of an international trade organization. This is expected to not only increase the influence of the Trade Committee but is also expected to create hundreds of new jobs in the city of San Fransisco. A ferry will be organized to take workers to the island every day. This will also be a sort of sad moment for some people, as the long, but cruel, history inside these buildings will be washed away as the buildings are demolished and replaced with new, tall and modern towers.

Perhaps it was today that the Police departments of California finally woke up to realize the extent of crime in our country, and they are ready to fix it. Republic Intelligence, the federal police department, arrested almost 15,000 criminals nation-wide within the past week or so, 53 percent of them having committed the crime over 4 months ago, and almost 70 percent being repeat offenders. These stats show that the republic is attempting to ensure internal stability rather than focusing on what is going on outside the borders. In fact, sources tell us that a diplomat hasn't been sent international since the League of Nations meeting. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing mostly depends on who you are. If you are a person with some crime on your record, then look out because the Herald Administration is coming for you. Looking at the charts, they have basically dropped, and by dropped, we are looking at a almost 50 percent decrease in crime within a month. That statistic must have broken some record, somewhere. More news will come as available.

Today the first funeral of a California Republic president has been held, as Gerald Herald was assassinated at his speech about Baja California a couple of days ago. The funeral was placed as soon as possible as the nation's future southern borders are possibly going to be under siege by the Republic of Texas. David Marxon, interim president, spoke honorably at the funeral, practically vowing to be Herald for the rest of the year. Gerald Herald had always been a large part of all of our hearts, since his time as a commander of the Separatist Forces. His ancestors fought in the Civil War and even the Mexican-American war, and he had practically devoted his life to serving California. His name represents hope in California, and San Fransisco is being renamed to San Fransisco de Herald in honor of Herald. The president's residency will now he on 102 Herald Avenue. Citizens of California were recently caught on film marching into Baja singing a song. A true representation of teamwork. A militia of 23,000 men has already announced it's devotion to the protection of Baja and the nation itself. But, as we see all this hope, we also see the dark, abandoned cities in the distance that show fear and death. Those are the ones that really hit you, and it is possible that despite all this effort, California may be overwhelmed and destroyed in the process of defense. Death has a large force that may overwhelm hope itself, but we must not let the Texans overwhelm us. But may we have no choice? There are many people in the streets announcing the imminent demise of the Republic. could, for once, these people be the realists? Even when this is a possibility, the people must not lose hope, for when they lose hope, that is when the battle is lost.

 

President Herald always faced issues head-on, and that is possibly why he has died, yet, is Gerald Herald truly dead? Because I believe we can all still feel his heart in our own.

The last known announcement from the California Republic government was made Tuesday as David Marxon discussed the Baja issue, however this time sounding different. Perhaps it was the threat of foreign invasion, or perhaps it was simply the plot of something larger. As we had known, Marxon had every plan to remain in Baja to support the legacy of Gerald Herald, however following evacuation, it seemed as though the government was absent.
 
"We have long suspected through the past days that a foreign invasion was imminent, and that our friends in Baja California would soon be taken away and brought into Texas. What was not anticipated was the hostility of the United Caribbean and their claiming to have Baja protected by the Marco Doctrine. Rest assured, as the California Government is aware that the UCS is obviously planning something bigger. Obviously, something said by President Herald at the Halifax Conference gave UCS a clue about how to achieve something. The variables have not yet been replaced, however we have found Gerald Herald's notes from the Conference and we are prepared to closely examine them and discover the truth behind the Doctrine.
 
The foolish and unexpected move by the UCS shocked the entire Senate, and someone obviously messed up and allowed some vital information to slip. What we are aware of, however, is that Texas is likely just as aggravated about this situation as we are, and we are ready to take action. We will make sure you, the people, are fully aware of the situation at hand and make you aware of as much information as possible. God Bless California."
 
Cooperation with Texas? Blaming the Senate? Prosecuting UCS? Does this sound like the David Marxon determined to protect Baja California at all costs? No, and we are sure that there is a larger scheme going on here that We the People are not being made aware of. We all know the elections are happening next month, so could that have an effect on the absence of a federal government in California? What we were made aware of, however, was made through a brief coded message sent through California on restricted channels.

 After a couple days the government began to pop back up, however did not release any public announcement for a while.

In the United States of America, their were the original 13 Colonies. These began a great nation. Similar to that, the Six Cailfornia's Proposal to create 6 states has been put into place, and the original 6 states are now South California, West California, Central California, Silicon Valley, North California, Jefferson. Originally Jefferson was supposed to take up some of Southern Oregon, however Cascadia refused to sell the land and now it only encompasses Northern California. The interesting point is that this is not a new proposal, this is proposal made around the year 2012 to separate the state of California into 6 new states. Only a short announcement was made by the government by the topic, and it was sent by letter.
 
"You are currently living in <state they now live in>. For more information on this topic, go online to california.gov.
 
Sincerely,
California Senate"

 

The plan from here is likely simple: Hold County, City, State, and Federal elections on the same day to avoid confusion. The new counties and states will elect their officials, and the people will choose between Green Austin(Republican), Richard Kelly(Democrat), and Gregory Baegal(California Taxpayers' Party) for president. These elections are crucial, depending on which party gets majority, we might do anything from rebuild to attack Baja California. It just depends on which party has the popular vote.

 

A quick update on the search for Herald's killer, the, according to rumors, have discovered the identity of the culprit and are now just attempting to hunt them down. This was a breaking update.

President David Marxon of the California Republic, and former Vice President to Gerald Herald, has recently resigned from the office of President after he made several claims about the Republic an it's government. The news was surprising to the entire nation as they thought he was fully committed to carrying out Herald's wishes. The recent announcement he made in Los Angeles was the following-
 
"Hello. I am not President David Marxon. Today I come to you as Emperor Marxon of the Western American Parliamentary Federation. I ensure you the city of Los Angeles is under safe occupation, and the WAPF is completely stable, and prepared to liberate the California Republic. My message to the Senate of the Republic is simple: We are at War. This is for the best interests of the people of California, and for the nations that occupy the surrounding area. I hope foreign nations come in and assist the Federation in liberating California. God Bless the Federation!"
 
What is this sudden fire in David Marxon? He used to be a shy politician who did almost nothing, but had an amazing reputation. Now that tables have turned. Is it a bluff when he says that other nations will come in to support him? Whatever the case, it is safe to assume California will not respond very peacefully and will treat this as an act of terrorism instead of an actual rebellion.

Today the Advisory Body brought up a proposal to President Marxon for the new capital building; it's a skyscraper. The California Broadcasting Station reports.
Today in the advisory meeting, the proposal was brought up to President Marxon showing a huge skyscraper- one of the largest in Los Angeles- planned to be constructed. According to rumors, the California Council did not support the idea, yet according to other rumors, Marxon loved the idea. As an Architecture Major, Marxon likely both liked and critiqued the design and architecture of the building. Proposals for the name include: Marxon Tower, Herald Tower, The Gerald A. Herald Tower, Remembrance Tower, Capital Tower, and California Tower. Which one will be used, and if any at all, is still unknown, however it is likely you will see lots of movement in the area.

Nevada(1/7): The beginning of movements in California would hold a formal census for the state, which in the end measured 2.67 Million as a total population in Nevada. Now, following this count, if would be a lot easier to determine future movements, with the knowledge of how many people.
 
Arizona(1/7): Arizona only recently became occupied by foreign Californians. It is the Farthest east state, and annexation would begin by some members of the Advisory Body conducting a convention/public forum in which the people could share their ideas. At this convention, that was a full success, the government was in understanding of the people, and vice versa, allowing the government to understand the people's wants and needs, as well as distinguish the two.

Nevada(2/7): The opinions of the people in Nevada would be put into consideration when building new roads, which offered jobs to unemployed men and women across the state. Thousands of new roads are being planned across the state, including some that will enter into California.

 

Arizona(2/7): Similar to recent events in the region of Nevada, a group of California representatives would be sent to issue a formal census in the region. This one was longer, however, and included questions such as "Would you appreciate California citizenship?" and "Do you support California occupation of Arizona?". Why the government was willing to ask the latter question is a mystery to many.

Private letter to California republic.

"Hello, my name is Mohammed usbara.

We have taken note of California's expansion and have a proposition. The Iraqi republic is willing to sell at a modest price petroleum for your expanding nation. We ask for a trade and cooperation pact in order to cut out any unnecessary tariffs that might hinder progress between our nations."

Goals of trade and cooperation pact

- tariff free trade between California and Iraq
- priority communication between both countries to insure the success of free market trade between the two countries.

Nevada(3/7): The next important order of business was to open schools. These schools would educate young kids, teenagers, and young adults by opening up elementary, middle, high, and community college school for the public. These would need funding, so all of the schools would require people in the schools to pay a tax.

 

Arizona(3/7): Arizona would require representation. Therefore, Arizona citizens would elect interim representatives to be given observer status in the House of Commons until annexation and full representation. For the time being, this should suit the needs of the people until it was time to make larger steps towards territory status.

Nevada(4/7): It was time for the government to begin making money off of Nevada. How they would achieve this is simple: put in place fair property, sales, and excise taxes and require all citizens to pay. These were set in place immediately.

 

Arizona(4/7): Arizona representatives would hold a convention in Los Angeles to discuss ideas for amendments and the entirety of the constitution for the upcoming state. Talks would end successfully, and the first drafts would be created and revised following the meeting.

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.

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.

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.
