Peter Ilyich Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Etymology The use of the term "California" has been used for centuries referring to the region, as well as Baja California. The term "California Republic" would first be used to refer to the Bear Flag Revolt and the flag the insurgents in Sonoma raised. The civil war against Spain in the region led to the U.S. pitching in with the Republic's army of 200 soldiers. No more than a month after the formation, the Republic ceased to exist. California became a state of the United States of America in 1850 and remained, politically being split between Democrat and Republican. It was also the seat of Hollywood, known for Filmography, and was also the seat of a lot of corruption. Following the global collapse, the region remained unclaimed for decades before the creation of the California Republic.

Peter Ilyich Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) HistoryBattle of BishopModern history of the California Republic would begin at the Battle of Bishop. This battle was the smallest battle in the California Revolution, yet was the most important in the entire war. To tell the story of the Battle of Bishop, one would have to trace back to why the civil war started. The reasons for the war were: Restore democracy, Restore a once great nation, and maintain stability. These were the three reasons stated in the Declaration of Independence that was written by General Gerald Herald during the war. The declaration was brief, however stated everything that needed to be stated. This declaration was modeled closely with the United States declaration. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. These truths are self-evident, and we all-man, women, child-have been created to be equal, and with this equality comes certain unalienable rights that We the People have been given, of which shall be named Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Securing these rights, a new governing body must be founded and kept stable, and that these men must never have their rights infringed upon, and this governments powers should be from consent of the governed men. That if this government becomes what it worst feared, it is the right of the governed men to alter or abolish this government, establishing a new stable one into its place. So long as the people do not dissolve the ideals that have been founded here today, and instead rebel to secure the rights and protect the ideals being placed down today, and for many days to come. For reasons understood by every equal man woman and child in this room, it is by the right of our people to found a new government here today, one to be named the Republic of California. The founding of these ideals paved the way for the victory at Bishop. Major victories in the California Revolution were the Battle of Silicon Valley, Battle of San Juan, and Battle at Eureka. Major losses included Battle of Los Angeles, Battle in Oakland, the Sacramento Massacre, and the San Diego Purge. These losses, each in major cities and counties, would put their toll on the politicians and soldiers involved in the battle, and would only bring enemy moral up. The surprise came as General Winfield was bringing his 400 soldiers through Bishop in retreat. Much to enemy surprise, who had presence and a military hideout in the city. The soldiers quickly made the assumption that somehow, separatists discovered that this was their base of operations, while in reality they were only marching through the city coming from a retreat after the Battle of Oakland. The problem was that most of their troops were scattered around Oakland, so therefore instead of having a couple thousand troops at the base, their count only rose to a mere 460, actually giving the separatists a chance. Although General Winfield and his troops didn't know about the presence, Winfield somehow felt as if there was something going on, as it seemed far too quiet to be a regular day in Bishop. He sent two snipers to get on top of roofs and prepare, and the rest of his troops made a large circle. Winfield was attempting to lure the enemy out by creating a setup that could easily be beaten and destroyed. He then ordered his troops to point their weapons at some windows and shoot as if they saw enemy snipers. This lured the enemy out and into attack mode. Winfield and his men fought back, but were losing quite horrifically. Winfield, much to his soldier's surprise, called for a surrender. Although the enemy had seen the sniper's go up onto the rooftops, by this time they were preoccupied and had forgot. Winfield, when they were ready to agree to the terms of surrender, purposely looked up at one of the snipers, drawing the enemy commander's gaze to the sniper, and causing the commander to begin firing at the sniper. Winfield then kicked the commander's legs out from under him, and disarmed him. Winfield's soldiers retrieved their weapons and easily defeated the enemy, and the commander surrendered not just to the current battle, but to the entire war. Winfield soon learned that they had hit the lion's den and had destroyed the enemy capital without even knowing. Winfield then became a politician afterwards. Quiet Times The California Republic, following it's Reformation, faced many issues that were urgent, and California dealt with such issues. It was the unnecessary ones that California stayed quiet about during these times. These times allowed for large drops in the crime rate, as well as other internal issues. Peacetime under Gerald Herald was perhaps the best California has ever been at in terms of happiness and stability. Gerald Herald's peaceful, intelligent, and well-thought out ideas allowed for a thriving economy, relations internal and out, and a Highly efficient government. Many nations were known to be unhappy with the nations leave of absence following it's creation, and the very little relations California ever had with them. Under this time frame are every event from the founding of the World Trade Committee to the Jefferson Crisis. Although this was the longest time frame California ever had, it lasted for no more than 2 years before the entire world began to see California. The events that followed would shrink the importance of the Quiet Times to nearly nothing, and make it seem that those 2 years did nothing beneficial.

Peter Ilyich Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) GovernmentFederal Government The Federal Government of the California Republic is the highest ranking branch in the nation, and is lead by a Monarch, known as the Governor General or more commonly, President. President is more of a de jure term than the true term, as he is, as previously stated, a monarch with multiple advisory bodies. Acting as the de jure Vice President is the Prime Minister, who appoints the ministers who advise the monarch. The only 2 jobs of the Prime Minister are to appoint and manage the ministers, as well as act as an ambassador or diplomat when it is needed. He is selected from the current body of ministers. The Ministry is a group of advisers to the monarch, each for their specific categories, of which are:Agriculture, Pacific California Opportunities Agency, California Economic Development for Arizona Regions, Californian Heritage, Citizenship & Immigration, Environment, Finance, Fisheries and Oceans, Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Health, Human Resources, Indian Affair, Industry, Justice, National Defense, National Revenue, Natural Resources, Public Works, Solicitor General, Transportation, Treasury Board, Veterans Affairs, Western Economics. Each department's representative serves for life or until resignation, in which a new one is selected by the Prime Minister. Once a Prime Minister is selected from the ministry pool, he or she is to select their replacement. The Parliament is divided into the Senate and the House of Commons. The Senate is assigned the job of creating laws that are necessary for the security of the California Republic. They mainly manage what goes on inside of the California Republic. The Senators are appointed by The President, once again. This is to ensure that there is no bias. In the House of Commons, however, elections are held with any working citizen being allowed to vote. Outside of voting offices, slogans say "No Work, No Vote." Instead of Political Parties, they are called guilds, and they, rather than lean towards trying to change the entire nation, are in place to guide the nation in the correct direction. State GovernmentDuring the Jefferson Conflict, the nation was split into Six States in an old proposal known as the "Six Californias" discovered following a search through old California State Files. The States were South California, Central California, West California, Silicon Valley, North California, and Jefferson. These states, combined with the up-and-coming states Nevada and Arizona, make up State Governments. The Lieutenant-Governor, or highest authority in the state, is appointed by the Monarch and acts as "Monarch of the State" in which he/she is appointed. The rest of the governments are made up of elected personnel, excluding the Senate. South CaliforniaLieutenant-Governor: Samuel S.

Peter Ilyich Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) MilitaryThe Grand Army of the California Republic The Grand Army of the California Republic is the army composed of 101,119 soldiers(Source: Federal Library) that defends the nation. Although called the Grand "Army", it is referring to the entire armed forces composed of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Each has it's own set of regulations. Many soldiers in the armed forces fought in the separatist movement that won independence. Army The Army of the California Republic is known as "California's Own" and is composed of some of the best and bravest men on the planet, fighting for not just the California Republic, but also for the United States of America. It is composed of soldiers, tanks, armored vehicles, and others. The anatomy of the Army is as followed.
