This is Cascadia, the white of the snow, the blue of the rivers, the Columbia, of the Pacific, and the green of the forests. The Cascadian Republic stands for democracy, loyalty, and brotherhood. Our motto, ops populus!, means "power to the people!". This alliance fulfills that motto with the will and rights of the Cascadian Senate. The Senate is the supreme executive power in the alliance, deciding on all affairs, and of which all alliance members belong to. You hold the top power in Cascadia, not a select few individuals who only seek to run the alliance as they want it. You have the power to make a name for yourself, to have a voice for which other shall follow. You have all the power. There government is there for you, and you are the government, you are there for others, and as others are there for you.

Our protectors are the great and honorable Siberian Tiger Alliance. As such we are a White team alliance.
