Wild West: Requiem

The Panamoan Frontier also known as the Old West or the , includes the geography, history, folklore, and culture in the forward wave of Panamoan expansion in mainland North Panamoa that began with Evalkan colonial settlements in the early 19th century and ended with the admission of the last few western territories as states in 1908. This era of massive migration and settlement was particularly encouraged by President Harold Middleton following the Louise Purchase, giving rise to the expansionist attitude known as "Manifest Destiny" and the historians' "Frontier Thesis". The legends, historical events and folklore of the Panamoan frontier have embedded themselves into Panamoan culture so much so that the Old West, and the Western genre of media specifically, has become one of the defining tenets and prides of Panamoan Republic national identity.
