Cascadia

Cascadia, officially the Republic of Cascadia, is a country comprising of portions of the former states of Washington and Oregon as well as the province of British Columbia.

Government and regime
The Republic of Cascadia is a one-party state ruled by the Ecological Workers' Party of Cascadia, the only legal political party in Cascadia. Party leadership, known as the People's Council of Cascadia, is comprised of twenty-seven Party cardholders who have been vetted by their predecessors. Leadership is comprised of three classes that determine term length to ensure that leadership is constantly changing. Every ten years, a third of the Council is replaced. Party members who have previously served on the Council may again serve after their successor's retirement. This has resulted in high return rates among leadership.

Leading the Council is the Foreman/Forewoman of the Cascadian Workers. The Foreman is voted on by the Council every ten years. Officially, the Foreman's powers extend only to voicing the will of the people, who are embodied by the Council. Unofficially, the Foreman holds complete power over the Party and is often considered a manifestation of the Party and Cascadia's elites by foreign political scientists. The current Forewoman of the Cascadian Workers is Georgina Wallace, daughter of Francis Wallace who served as Foreman 30 years before her.

Serving directly under the Foreman is the Lower Foreman/Forewoman of the Cascadian Workers. On paper, the position exists as a check on the power of the Foreman, but due to the Foreman's tendency to be a manifestation of the Party as a whole, the Lower Foreman tends to follow the Foreman's wishes in lockstep. The current Lower Foreman of the Cascadian Workers is Morgan Hound.
