Suppose hypothetically the year is 1914. In 1867, the Dominion of Cascadia in Western North America, made up of of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, Serena, (merger of Washington and Oregon) and Montalucio, (merger of Montana and Idaho territories) was established alongside its eastern neighbour and fellow British protectorate of Canada. Cascadia would gain the latter two, Serena and Montalucio, from war with the United States known as the Cascadian Wars fought from 1837-1846.  and in the second Cascadia marched all the way down to the 42nd parralel, capturing the Oregon territory at the border of California. This would be divided in two. The Oregon and Washington territories. would be merged into the province of "Serena". What Americans call "Idaho" and Montana" were mered into "Montalucio", named after the great general of Lucius Montague, a Cascadian who knew the land and terrain like no one else.   Cascadians are renowned for their rugged beauty, determination, and honesty. A Cascadian never goes back on his word. They are a tall bunch; the average Cascadian man stands at 6'3 and the average woman at 6'1. There are two major groups among Canadians - First there are Anglo-Cascadians, the most populous group and closely related to Anglo-Canadians, the British, and Anglo-Americans, accounting for 79% of Cascadians. Second, there are Franco-Cascadians, accounting for 16% of Cascadians. 5% are chiefly descended from the Dutch and Germans, although they all speak English. The linguistic makeup is similar. As the dominant language, English is spoken by 97% of Cascadians, 81% as a native language, 16% as a secondary language, and 3% of Cascadians are not fluent in it. French by 22%, including Multillinguals, and 15.68% as a native language, or 98% of Franco-Canadians. Anglo-Cascadian genome study reveals 100% Northwestern European DNA, mostly drawing from the British isles but also from Scandinavians, Northern Germans, and the Dutch. This genome is consistent  Cascadian women do not often wear makeup, save for face markings used to indicate status. The clothes of a Cascadian villager can come off as very odd to someone living in a city. For some reason, they bear a resemblance to the Sami, or to a fantasy race of elves, with their uniqueness and very festive markings. The Cascadian villagers have a rustic and nature-inspired clothing style known as Nostraepeculiares (our special in Latin). Male children wear tunics in playful colors and patterns, referred to as Puer (Child) Attire. Female children don dresses or skirts with vibrant colors and whimsical designs, known as Puella (Female Child) Attire. Teenage boys opt for earth-tone tunics, while teenage girls wear tunics or dresses in youthful styles and colors, also called Puella. Unmarried men and women both have Liber (Free), with men wearing tunics or shirts with trousers, and women donning dresses or tunics in various colors and patterns. Married women prefer soft-hued dresses, known as Curantis (Caregiver), while married men wear classic-colored tunics, referred to as Custos (The Guard).  Very few Cascadians are in poor shape or health, with just 10% being overweight or obese, mostly the old or middle-aged. It is very common for Cascadian fathers to hunt, fish, or shop for meat exclusively at familiar butchers. Their diets are heavy in meat and fish, especially organ meat which sells for cheap as many people are disgusted by it. Cascadians often refuse processed foods unless starving.  Cascadians enjoy hearty, savoury foods such as "hamburger stew", their national dish made with chopped bison steak, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, onion, and immersed in a homemade tomato sauce. They are traditionally finally topped with a local, bestselling Cheese known as Delicia Cascadia (Latin for Delight of Cascadia), made from bison milk and with a cream-like texture, similar to ricotta salata. That they have managed to tame the highly-aggressive bison speaks to the nature of the Cascadian.s Hamburger stew is a staple in Cascada, and may also be eaten with sauvagine imported from Quebec. Bread known as bannock forms another integral part of the dish, made with rolled oats, and  is traditionally soaked in the stew. More staples of Cascadia include Saskatoon berries, and they especially love Saskatoon berry pies, also made with oat flour.Wild rice, pumpkins, beans, duck, and pork, are also commonly eaten, and animals in Cascadia for some reason seem to be very large. As far as beverages go, especially popular among adults are products involving maple syrup, which can be fermented into  while Cascadian children love Ayran, a yogurt beverage brought to the country by a wealthy Cascadian man that frequently visted the Ottoman Empire. Maple syrup is also frequently added to it. All Cascadians carry genes that can pass on blue eyes and fair hair to their children. They are particularly pale, and descended from American settlers who got lost up north or were and were helped by Canadian locals, or so the legend goes. However, this is not simply a heartwarming story. In 1620, the British wanted to explore North America before the United States, and settle claimed but uninhabited territory in the prairies and Cascadia, and as a result sent some 16,000 Cascadians west as settlers, though it must be mentioned that the journey was voluntary, and Cascadians were often the most willing to move west.  The going was tough, and an estimated 4,000 did not make it.  So how did their numbers skyrocket tenfold in just over 100 years? Well, Cascadians are very fertile, with an average birth rate of 5.5, and their Christian, conservative upringing, as 93% of Cascadians are Christian (59% of Cascadian Christians consider themselves Protestant, 32% Catholic, as well as 98% of Franco-Canadians, and 9% Orthodox) lends to a natalist culture. From the expectant stage, a mother is to be revered in society. Partly because of religion, 23% of Cascadians are fluent in Latin, 77% have been exposed to the Latin language or taken classes in Latin. It is a popular foreign language taught in schools, partly to interpret the Bible. Latin speakers are disproportionately represented in positions of power. Latin is mandatory for clergymen, and customary for politicians, lawyers, and businessmen to learn. Of political figures in Cascadia, 95% speak Latin, 100% of lawyers, and 85% of corporate executives do. Part of They are a young population; 39% of Cascadians are aged 0-14, 46% are aged 15-64, and 15% are 65 or older. The average Cascadian mother first gives birth at age 16-18 and may lack the same quality education her male counterpart has. From 3-9, Cascadian boys and girls often attend the same schools, but from ages 10 and up, most Cascadian girls attend a schools known as Feminarium (Latin for "place for women"). Feminarium teaches basic skills but primarily specializes in training future wives and mothers to cook, clean, and care for children. Cascadians are mostly a traditional, conservative people, and even though laws were passed enabling women to attend higher education, such as the famed University of Vancouver, 96% of female students aged 10-24 are instead enrolled in feminarium.  The highest rates of teen pregnancy in North America are located in the region, and for some bizarre reason it is very common for Cascadian women to give birth to twins or triplets. However, she is hardly alone. The father, who is on average 18-24, is usually already working, looking for a job, enrolled in higher education, or working a part-time job. Living grandparents will also contribute to child rearing, as well as teach their own children how to care for young children. To deal with concerns of poverty, Cascadians share a lot. It is normal for as many as four Cascadian families to meet and eat dinner together, provided by a host family; if you are a visitor you are also expected to host. Cascadian neighbors will often rotate responsibilities.  It is also standard for Cascadians, to borrow items from each other, such as telephones, toys, cooking utensils, leftover food, and money. When an item is requested, it is expected to provide it, and of course return it or compensate an equivalent item Children are seen as a blessing in Cascadia;  The Cascadians that survived the arduous journey settled Northern Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, establishing populous settlements such as Vancouver after the original name of "Granville". They also helped established Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Victoria , and Abbotsford (the last two of which would be merged into Vancouver proper. They believe in general freedom of speech, expression, and the right to bear arms. On However, with a population of 16.04 million, Cascadia's existence is evident. British Columbia has a population of 8.04m and growing rapidly, 71% of which are Cascadian, 15% Canadian, and 10% American, mostly in Vancouver, 4% native. However, Cascadians make up just 61% of the population in Vancouver (population 5.8 million in 1914), which is 26% Canadian, 12% American, and 1% Native. Vancouver is a massive city both in area size and population, stretching from its former border districts of Douglas, Abbotsford, its coastline situated on the Boundary Bay and stretching north along the Straits of George. It starts from the 49th parallel and stretches 1200 square miles, including Vancouver Island, into the vast expanses of British Columbia, encompassing many settlements that could be called cities in their own right. It is important to recognize that not all Cascadian villages, or village-like settlements in Vancouver, consist of log cabins, dirt roads, and undeveloped infrastructure. Many, and especially the ones surrounding Central Vancouver, are very modern with European-style architecture, paved cobblestone roads, British-style townhouses, row houses, and cottages. Cottage clinics are also seen in most villages; though not as sophisticated as Vancouver's state-of-the-art hospitals, the clinics are staffed by licensed professionals who passed many certification exams. About 20% of villages have their own colleges, with many needing to travel to other settlements. (Cascadia universities typically exist in or near in large cities), roads connecting to large cities, etc. Starting in the early 1800s, the Cascadian parliament passed the Rural Infrastructure and Development Act (RIDA) a large amount of horses and donkeys, mainly from the United States and Canada. The aim was to alleviate poverty in the countryside by improving transportation and communication networks. RIDA funded the construction of roads, bridges, and telegraph lines, connecting remote villages to major cities and markets. The introduction of horses and donkeys also helped with agricultural activities and transportation of goods. With the improved infrastructure, Cascadian villages experienced economic growth as trade and commerce flourished. Farmers were able to transport their produce to urban centers more efficiently, increasing their income and standard of living. The availability of telegraph lines facilitated faster communication, enabling businesses to expand and connect with markets beyond their immediate vicinity. Overall, the Rural Infrastructure and Development Act played a significant role in transforming Cascadian villages into thriving communities with improved living conditions, economic opportunities, and access to essential services. that  the Alberta is 75% Cascadian, 24% Canadian. (population 2.02m) Manitoba is 86% Cascadian (population 1.04m) Saskatchewan is 96% Cascadian, 2% Canadian, and 2% native. (population 921k). In 1914, Serena would have a population of 931,451, 87% Cascadian, 10% American, and 3% Canadian. Montalucio would have a population of 731,347, 74% Cascadian, 13% American, and 13% Canadian. Cascadians are largely a socially-conservative people. In resource-rich Cascadia, employment is always around. Write a story.
