Western Republic

The Republic of the Western States, more commonly known as the Western Republic, or just simply the Free West, is a large nation located in western North America. This nation is the official nation of the user CJetsIsHere.

History
In the early 1990s, secession in the western provinces/territories in Canada and the western states in the USA had become pretty popular. In 1992, a proposed state was made, including the secession and unification of Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii, California, Nunavut, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska. On February 29, 1996, the governments of Canada and the United States finally decided to hold a referendum for independence, with over 50% in favour for in every state, province, and territory, except for Nunavut, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska. In result of this referendum, the Western Republic became independent on December 25, 1996. Calgary, Alberta was chosen as the capital.

On January 24, 2003, the Treaty of Albuquerque was signed between the Western Republic and Mexico, with Mexico ceding both Baja California's to the Western Republic, with the Western Republic paying $10 billion in return.

States
There are 21 states in the Western Republic. [Note: Some of the states capitals changed during the unification of the West.]

Military
The Western Republic has one of the strongest militaries in the world, with almost 1,000,000 soldiers, and 12,000 aircraft.

The Western Republic also has 100 atomic bombs.

War against the Northern Communist Union (Northwestern War)
After somehow discovering the Northern Communist Union, they did not recognize us as a nation (and we don't recognize them). The Western Republic requested that the NCU stayed out of our country twice, but they denied both times. The Western Republic with support of Germaska declared war on the NCU on November 11, 2016, sending in 500,000 soldiers into their land. The Western Republic sends 100,000 troops into Anchorage (their capital).

After 33 minutes of barely fighting, both sides do not want a war.

The war lasted 33 minutes, making it the shortest war in history.

Treaty of Anchorage

 * 1) The Northern Communist Union will cede all land in Alaska (except for Anchorage) and Yukon to the Western Republic.
 * 2) The Northern Communist Union will recognize the Western Republic.
 * 3) The Western Republic will cede Anchorage to the Northern Communist Union.
 * 4) The Western Republic will recognize the Northern Communist Union.

Treaty of Juneau (Treaty between Western States)
After the war, just like the Spanish-American War, the Western Republic and the North Communist Union become allies.
 * 1) Fraser will cede land to Alaska.
 * 2) Alaska will change its capital to Juneau.

"This war was stupid, but at least we got land and recognition out of each other." -Cuyler Jets, president of the Western Republic.

Casualties In The War

 * Western Republic Soldiers: 21
 * Northern Communist Union Soldiers: 69
 * Civilians: 42

Western Conquest of Ontario
After the Northwestern War, the Western Republic was angry about the loss of one of their major cities, so they want to set up a puppet government and take a major city, and so they look towards taking all land in Ontario that is not owned by the United Great Lakes. The Western Republic held a referendum for invading Ontario, with 73% in favour for, and so the Western Republic declares war on Ontario on November 12, 2016, and sends 500,000 soldiers into Ontario to capture Ottawa. The Western Republic believes this war should be short and easy.

Two days later, Ontario surrendered, and Ontario became a puppet state of the Western Republic.

Casualties In The War

 * Western Republic Soldiers: 420
 * Ontario Soldiers: 1,738
 * Civilians: 737
