The **Cascadia State Intercounty Assembly** (**CSIA**) is a collaborative body that brings together elected representatives from all of Cascadia State's counties to discuss and address regional issues and concerns. By fostering communication and cooperation among county officials, the CSIA aims to promote effective governance and enhance the overall well-being of Cascadia's communities. CSIA meets with the Secretary-General of the Intercounty Committee of the Terranova House of Citizens Legislative Assembly to discuss cross-border issues and to promote cooperation between the two regions. CSIA actively participates in regional planning and development initiatives, working towards the sustainable growth and prosperity of Cascadia's counties.

The Director-General of the Cascadia State Intercounty Assembly is in charge of overseeing the organization's day-to-day operations and strategic direction, advocating for unified policies, and appointing Cascadia State Counties Council Presidents, County Planning Directors, and other key positions. CSIA also organizes regular conferences and workshops to facilitate knowledge sharing among member counties and foster collaboration on issues such as transportation, economic development, and environmental conservation. Representing the interests of Cascadia's counties at state and federal levels, the CSIA works to ensure that the concerns and needs of its member counties are heard and addressed in legislative and regulatory processes. By actively engaging with lawmakers and government agencies, the CSIA aims to influence policy decisions that impact the Cascadia State counties, promoting equitable resource allocation and effective governance for the benefit of all residents.

The Director-General also serves on the Intercounty Committee, where they collaborate with county representatives from other states to address regional issues and develop solutions that benefit all communities. The Director-General helps both the Speaker of the House and the Secretary-General of the Intercounty Committee coordinate and facilitate discussions among county representatives, ensuring that all voices are heard and considered in the decision-making process. The Assembly ensures that all members are informed about upcoming meetings and legislative matters, as well as any updates or changes in the regional issues being addressed.

The Director-General's Office houses the Director-General and their staff, who are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Assembly. They handle administrative tasks such as scheduling meetings, maintaining records, and coordinating with other government agencies. The Cascadia State Intercounty Assembly's Director-General's Office is in Lavon, Samson County, Cascadia. They collaborate with county representatives to acquire information, write agendas, and prepare meeting materials. The Director-General's Office is able to better understand the individual needs and problems of the people they serve by having a physical presence in each county.

Under Director-General Carrasco's leadership, the Cascadia State Intercounty Assembly is confident in its ability to foster county collaboration and growth.

Eight counties—Moravian County, Cloudbury County, Samson County, Cruxley County, Arcadia Grove County, Daydol County, Oakley County, Hosfield County—combine to form the Cascadia State Intercounty Assembly. A Chief Executive Director is in charge of each of these counties. Chief Executive Directors from each county work together to address common challenges and identify opportunities for regional collaboration. Every month on the 15th, they meet to discuss various issues affecting their counties and to plan how to effectively advocate for their needs at the state level. These seminars provide an opportunity for Chief Executive Directors to share best practices, exchange ideas, and coordinate efforts to boost Cascadia State's overall success and prosperity. The Chief Executive Directors also utilize these events to form alliances and establish relationships with significant partners, such as state legislators, business leaders, and community organizations. By building these relationships, the Chief Executive Directors are able to leverage their collective influence and resources to address larger regional challenges, such as infrastructure development or attracting new industries to the area. These alliances help ensure that the needs and priorities of Cascadia State are effectively communicated and represented at the state level, leading to more favorable policy outcomes for the region as a whole.
