The Mojave Imperium

The Mojave Imperium was a large empire in Western America.

Californian Civil Wars
During the short-lived reign of terror caused by the short-lived Mexican puppet state of Republica de Las Californias, the white population rebelled almost entirely across California. After the Californian Civil Wars, 22 new countries emerged into independence. One of these new countries was The Mojave Imperium.

Warring States California
Almost all of these new countries attempted to capture Sacramento at once and reunite California by force.  Perezio Augusta the Terrible, Emperor of the Mojave, saw the opportunity to conquer several richer countries while they're distracted in the 22 Sieges of Sacramento. This is what caused the Perezio Wars.

Perezio Wars
On January 26rd, 1960, Perezio began his campaign into the Republic of Salton, the Inland Empire, Sierra Nevada Federation, and Fresno. Salton surrendered just 5 days after Perezio sent a tiny regiment into the Colorado Delta, due to the incredibly sparse population of the country. The Inland Empire was the next to fall, after the Siege of Bakersfield. This caused most of the Alta Californian countries to declare war on Mojave. However, with Perezio's cunning wit and technological advancement, California was all conquered in 2 years.

The Phoenix Coalition
Disgusted by the war crimes committed by Perezio, the Mesa Pact, the Western Federal Union, and the Maize Commonwealth all formed the Phoenix Coalition against Mojave. Perezio, viewing this as an act of aggression, declared war on the coalition against the will of his advisors. This started the War of The Phoenix Coalition, known to some as the Perezio-Mesa War.

War of The Phoenix Coalition
Perezio quickly advanced through the attacking countries for what seems to historians as an absolutely baffling act, given the circumstances. The defeat of the Moroni Holy Empire at the Battle of Provo secured victory for the Mojave Imperium.

Collapse of The Mojave
In 1972, Perezio was poisoned by his sickly illegitimate heir, Eduar Perezio I, who had always hated the Mojave Imperium for its apartheid against the Mexican population. After the chaos, people in the occupied lands rebelled and formed various countries such as the Basin Republic, Upper Mexican Republic, and the Kingdom of Oregon. Several countries took advantage from the chaos and retook lost land. Mexicans and whites alike in California rebelled continuously, while several pretender rebels emerged in the desert. Eduar Perezio I finally surrendered in the Battle of Sacramento, thus creating the Caucasian oriented Union of Alta California, and the Mexican-American oriented Union of Baja California.
