Massachusetts is the first state in the Corporative States (CS) to secede from the US on February 28, 1946. Due to this, it was also nicknamed "First in the Nation" and "The First State".
Massachusetts is also referred to "Justice and Authority State" and "Land of Unity", because the state itself was the birthplace of the ruling political party of the Corporative States, the Corporatist Party, as well as the birthplace of the Corporative States independence in 1944.

Brief history of Massachusetts
Massachusetts was the first of original 24 states to secede into the Corporative States' union on February 28, 1946.
In 1958, the Government of the Corporative States moved its capital city to a newly built 95 sq km Bannerman City, which was situated 17 km west of Boston. Most of foreign embassies and diplomatic mission were remained in Boston, per the Corporative States government (although Boston is still functioned as the political capital of the Corporative States).
Between 1961 through 1965, celebrations around Massachusetts and the rest of New England to coincide the centenary of the First American Civil War, in which Joseph Bannerman declares the Corporative States to be the successor state to the Confederate States (although the Confederate States was completely perished by the Union Forces of the United Statee during the First American Civil War of 1861-1865).
In 1976, Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito was invited by the Corporative States Prime Minister Paul Ruffin to mark 30th anniversary of the Corporative States independence. To mark the occassion, Tito visited Bannerman Mausoleum in Boston to honor Corporatist Party founder William Bannerman.
In 1977, Mladen Stankovic and 12 other Serbian nationals were sheltered in Boston after flying their Antonov An-12 from Sarajevo.
On November 20, 1978, Warren Gillespie and other 37 Corporatist Party politicians were fatally shot and murdered by 17 ILF militants in Portland, Maine.
In March 1989, after she served as the 3rd Grand Commisioner of the Civil Protection Corps for 11 years (1978-1989), Susan Beauregard, who was born in Haverhill, made her history as the first person from Massachusetts since Joseph Bannerman as the President of the Corporative States (although Joseph Bannerman later served the country's Supreme Leader from 1949 until his death in 1993, Joseph Bannerman was the country's first President from 1944 through 1949), as well as the first from New England since Arthur Finegan, who was a Rhode Islander and the country's 2nd President from 1949 through 1961.
On May 27, 1993, the government acknowledges Boston as the final route of Joseph Bannerman's state funeral. The funeral routes had journeyed by train from Anchorage to Tulsa, then stopped in Detroit, and finally heading to Boston.
Between September 15 through October 9, 1994, the city of Boston hosted the 1994 Commonwealth Games, in what the former British Prime Minister John Major described as "the biggest sporting event in all of the British Commonwealth", after the Corporative States goverment and Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) chooses the former capital city of the Corporative States, Boston, as the host of the 1994 Commonwealth Games in 1987.
The decision to choose Boston as the host city of the 1994 Commonwealth Games was a significant historic moment of the Corporative States history, as the 1994 Commonwealth Games marks the honor of Joseph Bannerman's memory.
The 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston was also a significant political milestone in the Corporative States and the rest of the British Commonwealth (as the Corporative States was a member state of the Commonwealth of Nations since January 1, 1949).
In 1998, there was an armed mutiny around rural Massachusetts that aimed the overthrow the leftist state government of Massachusetts under Chief Minister Jonathan Buchanan, who came to power after a bloodless military coup against Edward Pickens, who was in Israel to became the Corporative States ambassador to that country. The attempted coup against Buchanan was largely blamed on Native Icelanders and Massachusetts' Seventh-Day Adventist church community.

1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston (September 15 - October 9, 1994)
By January 1987, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) chooses Boston, once the capital city of the Corporative States, as the host of the 1994 Commonwealth Games, the second time that Boston had hosted the Commonwealth Games.
The 1994 Commonwealth Games, which took place in Boston, lasted from September 15 through October 9, 1994, for almost 24 days, and it is the longest period that the Commonwealth Games had occurred. It was officially opened by both Queen Elizabeth II and the Corporative States President Susan Beauregard. According to Susan Beauregard, the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston is to commemorate Joseph Bannerman's life and legacy, following his death in 1993.
The official mascots for the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston were Colonel Jester and Sergeant Rowdy, an anthropomorphic raccoon and deer, respectively. The official motto of the games was "Games For Honor And Glory," inspired by the state motto of Massachusetts. The logo of the 1994 Commonwealth Games shows the Star of Bannerman stylized in the colors of the British flag.
Notable athletes during the 1994 Commonwealth Games included the Vermont-native middleweight boxer Abigail Lanier (who defeated her fellow Tanzanian boxing champion Evelyn Mwenda), Steinunn Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, the Native Icelandic captain of the Corporative States women's national soccer team (CSA Women's Soccer). She was only 18 years old at the time. Another notable athlete was Eleanor Beauregard, the 18-year-old goalkeeper of the Corporative States women's national soccer team and a native of Boston, Massachusetts. Eleanor later became the Governor of Massachusetts during two terms, serving from 2010 to 2014 and 2018 to 2022, alongside her full-time role as a Military Enforcer commander. 
The country that hosted the 1994 Commonwealth Games, the Corporative States of America (CSA), also known as the Corporative States (CS), won the most medals, including the highest number of gold medals in the 1994 Commonwealth Games. Their victory was particularly highlighted by the success of the Corporative States women's national soccer team, led by 18-year-old captain Steinunn Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, who was a devoted Norse Pagan believer of Native Icelandic origin and native of Akranes, Iceland. 
On September 28, 1994, 23-year old Abigail Lanier of the Corporative States earned her the first gold medal in women's middleweight boxing while she defeated the 26-year old Tanzanian middleweight boxer Evelyn Mwenda during the event (in fact, Mwenda was also the daughter of the Tanzanian High Commissioner to the Corporative States from 1991 to 1998, Boniface Mwenda). Lanier's win against Mwenda was largely celebrated throughout Lanier's home state of Vermont, as well as her hometown in Rutland. The closing epilogue says that Abigail Lanier had became the Chief Minister of Vermont in an aftermath of armed mutiny in Vermont on October 2, 1999 and Evelyn Mwenda later serving as the Tanzanian High Commissioner to the Corporative States from 2007 through 2012 (although Mwenda was educated in Groton School between 1979 through 1983). Both Tanzania and the Corporative States are the members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Corporative States considers Tanzania as the 4th strongest African ally right after South Africa, Ethiopia and Nigeria. Mwenda also attended Groton School from 1979 through 1983, to study boxing in Boston.
On September 30, 1994, at William Bannerman Stadium in Boston, Sigurbjörnsdóttir and the Corporative States women's national soccer team scored their glorious victory against England women's national soccer team through an outstanding score of 12-2.
The event was also attended by Lydia Black Stone and her mother Susan Beauregard, with the latter serving as the 5th President of the Corporative States at that time. Lydia Black Stone was only 16 years old during the 1994 Commonwealth Games, while her mother Susan Beauregard was 40 years old.
In the midst of the armed insurgency in Iceland, Chicago-native Anna "Libra" Price also stayed in Reykjavik during the 1994 Commonwealth Games and she also recounted her experiences during the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston through her own personal diary, and she wrote that on October 1, 1994 at 3:00 AM in the early morning, "On September 30, 1994, during the Commonwealth Games in Boston, the Corporative States women's soccer team whooped England women's soccer team with a mind-boggling 12-2 triumph. The Corporative States (CS) and the UK went bonkers celebrating their grand political win after the match. Hell, it was a piece of cake."
In fact, Libra is also a dual US-Corporative States citizen, and she stated that, "Regarding the United Kingdom, and its capital city London as the home of the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Corporative States of America (CSA) is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, as the Corporative States (or the CS) joined them since 1949."
As a result of Libra's extended stay in Iceland to bring an end to the armed insurgency against the Iceland Liberation Front (ILF), Libra's twin sister, Havoc, eventually visited Boston to witness the opening ceremony and the remainder of the 1994 Commonwealth Games with her best friend Roy McMillan, who formerly served as a Civil Enforcer officer and is a Corporative States citizen.
According to Robert Chasing Deer, a Sioux Falls-native who was the Corporative States High Commissioner in the United Kingdom during that time, "The 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston symbolizes the major political and military victory against the Iceland Liberation Front (ILF). The Corporative States and the British government must stop the ILF insurgency in Iceland, but on September 1994, when the Commonwealth Games occurred in Boston, the former capital city of the Corporative States, large scale armed siege occurred around Iceland's capital Reykjavik, where the scores of residents also armed with Viking weaponry to combat the ILF militants, whom were also armed with Viking weapons as well. The siege of Reykjavik ended on September 30, 1994 following the 12-2 victory of the Corporative States women's soccer team against the England women's soccer team in Boston, which was known by many as the major turning point of the ILF insurgency in Iceland, as the Corporative States and the UK joined forces to defeat the ILF.
To honor Joseph Bannerman's memory, the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston marked a significant political milestone in the Corporative States, as it was perceived as the greatest political resurgence for the Corporative States after Joseph Bannerman's passing. The 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston played a pivotal role in boosting and accelerating diplomatic relations between the UK and the Corporative States. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair described it as "the political resurgence of the Corporative States since the former leader Joseph Bannerman's demise in 1993."
During the opening ceremony, held at William Bannerman Stadium in Boston on September 15, 1994, the flag of the Corporative States and flags representing the 33 states of the Corporative States were displayed alongside portraits of Joseph Bannerman, William Bannerman, and other prominent Corporative States political figures such as Edward Calhoun, Arthur Finegan, McKinley Hebert, Sa'olotoga Mata'afa, and Einar Gudmundsson.
The closing ceremony took place on October 9, 1994 at William Bannerman Stadium in Boston, commemorating Joseph Bannerman's life and legacy through pictures. Joseph Bannerman is widely regarded as one of the most influential political figures by many Commonwealth of Nations members, with former British Prime Minister John Major, during the time of the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston, describing him as "the man who led the Corporative States to independence during the Second American Civil War of 1942-1946."
The national broadcaster of the Corporative States, the Corporative States Broadcasting System (CSBS), provided nationwide television and radio coverage of the 1994 Commonwealth Games.
In contrast, the 1998 Commonwealth Games took place from 1st October to 19th October 1998 in the Faroe Islands (a British Overseas Territory), lasting nearly 18 days, making it the second-longest duration for any Commonwealth Games. The 1998 Commonwealth Games, held in the Faroe Islands, is the first in Scandinavia to host the Commonwealth Games, and the Faroe Islands became the only British Overseas Territory to host such an event. Iceland, which is a 25th state of the Corporative States, followed to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which took place in Reykjavik in September 2018.

Middlesex School incident (October 7, 1994)
On October 7, 1994 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, just two days before the closing ceremony of the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston, students engage in a violent brawl at Middlesex School, a private co-educational boarding school in Concord, Massachusetts. The incident was caused by the victory of the Corporative States women's national soccer team against the England women's national football team with a score of 9-1. 
Two perpetrators, 12-year-old Finnur Sigurjónsson and 14-year-old Guðný Sigurjónsdottir, used their Viking swords to kill their classmates before committing suicide by stabbing themselves in the stomach. This resulted in the deaths of 69 students, including 6 Native Icelandic students (Stefan Orri Daðason, Orngrimur Daðason, Guðmundur Karl Aðalsteinsson, Dagný Viðarsdóttir, Ingibjorg Yrsa Þorvaldsdóttir, and Þordis Antonsdóttir).
One of the survivors, 15-year-old Málfríður Viðarsdóttir, who lost her younger sister Dagný in the incident, said that the incident was caused by a protest against Hildur Gudmundsdottir's administration in the state of Iceland. Another survivor, 13-year-old Gillian Southworth, who was Málfríður Viðarsdóttir's classmate at Middlesex School, said she felt "horrified" to have witnessed the hour-long bloody incident at Middlesex School. 
One of Anna "Libra" Price's informers, 11-year-old Haraldur Viðarsson, who was homeschooled at his older sister's boarding house at Middlesex School, was playing Doom on his computer when the violent brawl broke out around the main building of Middlesex School during recess.
On October 8, 1994, at 2:00 AM Eastern Time, Haraldur Viðarsson dialed 911 to inform the Massachusetts Civil Enforcer officers, including 14-year-old Lindsay Codrington, about the incident at Middlesex School. On October 9, 1994, survivors of the Middlesex School incident visited William Bannerman Stadium in South Boston to witness the closing ceremony of the 1994 Commonwealth Games. 
Just 20 years later in 2014, both Viðarsdóttir and Southworth received the Distinguished Massachusettsan award from Massachusetts' then Chief Minister Douglas Pickens Jr. and then Corporative States President Lydia Black Stone for their contributions in saving their classmates at Middlesex School during the 1994 incident.
In 2019, Haraldur Viðarsson authored his picture book "I Dream No More", which depicts the events before and during 1994 incident at Middlesex School, and it was particularly banned in the states of Colorado, Iceland, Michigan and Missouri for spreading its claims of xenophobia, civil disobedience and violence towards Native Icelanders.
As the result, Haraldur Viðarsson received the Distinguished Massachusettsan award from the current Chief Minister of Massachusetts Lindsay Pickens, due to recounting his experiences as a homeschooled student at Middlesex School during the 1994 incident.
As of 2023, Haraldur Viðarsson is now a full-time Civil Enforcer officer, while his older sister Málfríður Viðarsdóttir was a decorated Military Enforcer officer and her former classmate Gillian Southworth was now a fulltime lawyer at Springfield District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts. All three of them were lived in their everyday lives in Greater Boston area.

Groton School incident (March 14, 1995)
The incident resulted in the aftermath of Susan Beauregard's electoral victory during the 1995 Corporative States presidential election.
This is the bloodiest incident at Grotton School since the 1978 incident.

Milton Academy incident (November 18, 1997)

Death of Edward Pickens (October 27, 1998)

On October 27, 1998, authorities inside Bannerman Memorial Hospital in Boston says that Edward Pickens was pronounced dead at 8:55 AM Eastern Time in the morning. He was 81 year old. (Edward Pickens' cousin Warren Gillespie died on December 7, 1990 at the age of 76 and his state funeral was took place in Boston on December 17, 1990.)
The state funeral of Edward Pickens was took place on November 6, 1998 around Springfield and finally ending in South Boston, where he lived from his entire life from 1947 until his death in 1998. During the state funeral, Susan Beauregard honors Edward Pickens' historic 1976 trips to London, United Kingdom and Belgrade (then it was known as Yugoslavia) as one of the defining moments in the Corporative States history, as both the UK and Yugoslavia (now legally known as Serbia) was one of the first countries to recognize the Corporative States in both military and diplomatic contexts.
Today, the statue of Edward Pickens sits inside the Massachusetts Assembly building, alongside the statues of Warren Gillespie and Jonathan Buchanan (unveiled in 2002).

2nd Pickens-era (2002-present)

BOSTON (former capital city of the Corporative States)
As the largest city in Massachusetts in terms of population, Boston was also the capital city of the Corporative States between 1944 through 1958.
The city of Boston was also the fountainhead and birthplace of the Corporatist Party, the ruling political party of the Corporative States, which was founded on January 25, 1941 by William Bannerman, Joseph Bannerman, Edward Calhoun, Arthur Finegan, George Black Stone and John Henry Black Bear.
Despite the capital city of the Corporative States moved from Boston to Bannerman City in 1958, most foreign embassies and diplomatic missions in the Corporative States remained in Boston. Queen Elizabeth II visited Boston during 1966, 1971 and 1994.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Corporative States' founding, the city hosted the 1966 Commonwealth Games (at that time it was the British Empire and Commonwealth Games), the first of any kind in the Corporative States. 
Five years later in 1971, Boston once again hosted the 6th Pan-American Games, which lasted from July 30 through August 26, 1971, to coincide the 25th anniversary of the Corporative States' founding.
Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito visited Boston four times during 1954, 1966, 1971, 1976. Today, two statues of Josip Broz Tito still exist in Boston, one in Back Bay and one in Boston Common.
In 1994, the city saw its biggest and longest Commonwealth Games had been occured to this day. The 1994 Commonwealth Games, which was took place in Boston, Massachusetts from September 15 through October 9, 1994, was the longest period that the Commonwealth Games had been occured, in 24 days.

Inside the mausoleum, it contains the flags of 33 states of the Corporative States, as well as the flags of the member states of Non-Aligned Movement (the flag of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia still remains as of 2023), Warsaw Pact members, and the Commonwealth of Nations.
It was renovated few many times, until 1993 when Joseph Bannerman died in the same year.

The William Bannerman Stadium (formerly named South Boston Stadium until 1971), constructed in 1966, was designed by architects Godfrey Calhoun and Gudmundur Thoroddsen. It is a versatile stadium located in the South Boston neighborhood of Boston. The stadium was inaugurated in July 2, 1966 in preparation for the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, which is now known as the Commonwealth Games.
Since 1971, the stadium is named after William Bannerman (1907-1949), who played a pivotal role in establishing the Corporative States in 1944 (although the independence of the Corporative States was only achieved on February 22, 1946), even after the end of the Second American Civil War (1942-1946). In 1971, the stadium also hosted the 6th Pan-American Games, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Corporative States.
In 1976, the stadium hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics, which was took place in Boston (instead of Montreal).
From September 15 to October 9, 1994, the stadium once again hosted the 1994 Commonwealth Games to honor Joseph Bannerman's memory and his life's contributions. As the result, Susan Beauregard, who was the 5th President of the Corporative States and a native of Massachusetts, played her important key role for preparation of the city of Boston's hosting rights to the 1994 Commonwealth Games, which resulted in boosting its diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth of Nations members.
In 1995, the stadium furthermore hosted the 1995 Pan-American Games, which was took place in Boston on October 27-November 12, 1995.
Since 1997, efforts have been underway to rename the William Bannerman Stadium after the late Edward Pickens, who served as the Chief Minister of Massachusetts from 1954 to 1982, as well as the first Corporative States Ambassador to Israel (1950-1954). Susan Beauregard and her family have supported this initiative. 
This was particularly highlighted after Edward Pickens' death in 1998, as many residents of South Boston reportedly disliked the stadium being named after William Bannerman due to his anti-Semitic views, even before the full establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the Corporative States in 1950. 
As a result, they called for the stadium to be renamed after Edward Pickens, a native of South Boston who voiced his opposition to William Bannerman's leadership in the Corporative States. Before he became the 2nd Chief Minister of Massachusetts, Edward Pickens served as a key political adviser to Warren Gillespie, the first Chief Minister of Massachusetts after the independence of the Corporative States in 1946. In January 1991, Edward Pickens donated a sum of $500,000,000 to both the Corporative States government and the state government of Massachusetts to renovate the William Bannerman Stadium in preparation for the 1994 Commonwealth Games, which took place in Boston from September 15 to October 9, 1994.
According to Susan Beauregard, the former President of the Corporative States from 1995 to 2014, "William Bannerman represents the antisemtitic history of the Corporative States and Edward Pickens represents the bright side of the Corporative States history. As the 2nd Chief Minister of Massachusetts, Edward Pickens was also responsible for helping the Corporative States government to establish its diplomatic relations with Israel in 1950 and he spared the lives of American Jews during the Second American Civil War. He was also responsible for building the South Boston Stadium (which was currently named as William Bannerman Stadium since 1971), which was a venue of 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, 1971 Pan-American Games and finally, the 1994 Commonwealth Games".
As of 2023, the government of Massachusetts decided to keep William Bannerman's name after a 26-year campaign to rename stadium for Edward Francis Pickens (who lived from 1917 through his death in 1998), the 2nd Chief Minister of Massachusetts who voiced his opposition to the antisemitic views and ideals of William Bannerman.
As a consequence of 1994 Commonwealth Games in Boston (September 15-October 9, 1994), 1995 Pan-American Games in Boston (October 27-November 15, 1995), and 1996 Summer Olympics in Reykjavik, Los Angeles would later hosted the 1999 Pan-American Games, which took place between November 19 through December 5, 1999.
in 2016, the stadium hosted 2016 Summer Olympics (amidst many decades of communal and gang violence around Rio de Janeiro since the 1960s) to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of the Corporative States independence, the event took place between August 5 through August 28, 2016. Former Corporative States President Susan Beauregard described the 2016 Summer Olympics in Boston as a "turbulent moment in the Corporative States history", as in February 2016, the Corporative States marks 70th anniversary of its independence from the United States, after the Second American Civil War of 1942-1946. It is also the second time that Boston hosted the Summer Olympic Games, the last one being in 1976.

Trivia
In Project Bannerman (formerly State of Emergency from 2002 to 2006), Massachusetts is the first state in the Corporative States (CS) to secede from the US on February 28, 1946. Due to this, it was also nicknamed "First in the Nation" and "The First State".
Massachusetts is also referred to "Justice and Authority State" and "Land of Unity", because the state itself was the birthplace of the ruling political party of the Corporative States, the Corporatist Party, as well as the birthplace of the Corporative States independence in 1944.
